CEMIG’s Answer
Dear Ms. Nilza Maria Silva de Oliveira,
In response to the Official Letter, Companhia Energética
de Minas Gerais - CEMIG (“Cemig” or “Company”) clarifies that it continuously seeks opportunities and alternatives
to optimize its corporate structure to execute its strategic planning while providing excellent customer service, prioritizing investments
in the State of Minas Gerais and seeking maximization of results through sustainable management.
The Company adds that the effort and ambition to enhance Gasmig’s
presence in the State through improved commercial efficiency and increased investments for network expansion, as well as feasibility
studies for a potential future IPO of Gasmig, among potential
alternatives, are not new to the market, as presented during the “Cemig’s Annual Meeting with the Capital Market” event
of 2020 and 2021 - see slides 28 (2020) and 45 (2021), available on the
website of CVM (https://cvmweb.cvm.gov.br/SWB/Sistemas/SCW/CPublica/CiaAb/FormBuscaCiaAb.aspx?TipoConsult=c) e website da Companhia (https://ri.cemig.com.br/divulgacao-e-resultados/apresentacoes-e-teleconferencias).
Cemig emphasizes that, as of this date, no formal decision has
been made by the Company regarding any public offering of Gasmig’s shares. Such a decision is subject, among other factors, to obtaining
the necessary corporate approvals, favorable market conditions, and investor interest.
The Company therefore states that there is no new information,
according to CVM Resolution 44/21, to justify the disclosure of a Material Act or Fact about the matter.
The Company reiterates its commitment to transparency and the
best practices of market disclosure.
