As Eletrobras is a state-owned company, created by law 3.890/1961, a bill is required to transfer control of the company; Justification of item 1.6.1: Eletrobras believes that the answer to the item should be not applicable since the constitution of the Company provides for a corporate structure that suggests the continuity of control, as provided for in article 10 of the Bylaws. As Eletrobras is a state-owned company, created by law 3.890/1961, a bill is required to transfer control of the company; Justification of item 4.3.1: In compliance with CVM Instruction 381/2003, the company does not allow the hiring of the same external audit for a period of more than 5 years and, after this period, it can only be contracted after an interval of 3 years. In addition, the Company has its own Internal Audit and does not outsource this activity. In addition, the CAE Internal Regulation, in its item 5.1, establishes the following attribution for the aforementioned advisory body: "To opinion on any service contracting by Eletrobras or its subsidiaries involving independent auditors or companies that have provided independent audit services in the last 5 (five) years for the holding or its subsidiaries"; Justification of item 5.5.2: Eletrobras believes that the answer to the item should be not applicable since it is understood as illegal, under Brazilian law, for Eletrobras Companies and Employees in management positions to make contributions to political parties or candidates on behalf of Eletrobras Companies; 2. determine that the Department of Corporate Governance - DCAG, the Financial and Investor Relations Department - DF, the Investor Relations Superintendence - DFR, the Governance Secretariat of the Board of Directors - CAAS and the General Secretariat - PRGS adopt, each within its scope of action, the necessary measures to comply with this Resolution.
