*Updated until 02h17. pm”
In view of the aforementioned Official
Letter, and as already mentioned in previous announcements we clarify that Eletrobras' shares have been fluctuating as a result
of news that are disclosed in the media and statements by country authorities, not necessarily directly related to the Company,
but that change the market perspective in relation to the National Congress acceptability of bill number 5.877/2019 ("PL"),
which provides for the privatization of Centrais Elétricas Brasileiras SA - Eletrobras.
News recently released in the media showed
that the Federal Government could issue a Provisional Measure aimed at accelerating the privatization process of Eletrobras. According
to the Notice to the Market published on February 22, 2021, Eletrobras sent correspondence to the Ministry of Mines and Energy,
the ministry to which it is linked, to verify if there was information that could characterize a Relevant Fact and that had not
yet been disclosed by the Company.
Yesterday, February 23, 2021, after the
closing of the trading session, Eletrobras received Official Letter No. 82/2021 / GM-MME, in which the Ministry of Mines and Energy
informed the edition of Provisional Measure No. 1031/2021 which aims to speed up the privatization process of the Company and which
was the subject of a Relevant Fact disclosed, on the same date, by the Company.
Accordingly, the Company clarifies that
there is no new information that has not already been disclosed by the Company through the appropriate channels.
