released on 06/19/2019, 08/07/2019, 08/28/2019, 05/17/21 and 10/21/22, which the 1st Panel of the Superior Court of Justice - STJ, unanimously,
heard and upheld Special Appeal no. 2381097 - DF filed by Companhia Hidro Elétrica do São Francisco (“Chesf”)
to annul the decision handed down by the 5th Civil Panel of the Court of Justice of the Federal District and Territories – TJDFT,
in declaratory motions opposed within the scope of process number 0048611-24.2014.8.07.0001, filed by the plaintiffs Energia Potiguar
Geradora Eólica S.A. and others, which had been unfavorable to Chesf by reversing the result of the first trial, which had been
favorable to the subsidiary when deem the requests unfounded.
The decision given on this date, therefore, determined
a new trial of the case in the second instance of the second motions for clarification then filed by the aforementioned plaintiffs.
The process is classified as a probable risk of loss, for
an estimated value of R$ 636 million, as of June 30, 2023.
The Company will keep the market informed about the progress
