CEMIG Geracão e Transmissão S.A.
announces cash tender offer for its 9.250% Senior Notes due 2024
Belo Horizonte, Brazil – July 19, 2021 – CEMIG Geração
e Transmissão S.A. (“CEMIG”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais
(“CEMIG Holding”), today announced the commencement of an offer to purchase for cash up to the Maximum Amount
(as defined below) of its outstanding 9.250% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Notes”) issued by CEMIG (the “Offer”).
When used in this press release, the terms “we,” “us” and “our” refer collectively to CEMIG and CEMIG
Holding, in each case, unless the context otherwise requires.
The Offer is made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in the offer to purchase dated July 19, 2021 (the “Offer to Purchase”). The Offer is not contingent upon
the tender of any minimum principal amount of Notes, but CEMIG will only purchase Notes up to the maximum aggregate principal amount of
U.S. $500 million (the “Maximum Amount”). Accordingly, if the Maximum Amount is reached in respect of tenders
made on or prior to the Early Tender Date (as defined below), no Notes that are validly tendered after the Early Tender Date will be accepted
for purchase, even if validly tendered and not validly withdrawn, and any Notes tendered on or prior to the Early Tender Date and accepted
for purchase on the Early Acceptance Date (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) or the Expiration Date (as defined below), if the Early
Settlement Right (as defined below) is not exercised, will be accepted on a prorated basis such that CEMIG purchases an aggregate principal
amount of Notes that would not exceed the Maximum Amount in the Offer.

Holders of Notes who validly tender and do not validly withdraw their
Notes on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on July 30, 2021, unless extended (such time and date, as they may be extended, the
“Early Tender Date”), will be eligible to receive the total consideration of U.S.$1,162.50 per U.S.$1,000 principal
amount of Notes tendered (the “Total Consideration”), which includes an early tender premium of U.S.$50.00 per
U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered on or prior to the Early Tender Date and not validly withdrawn on or prior to the
Withdrawal Date (the “Early Tender Premium”). Holders who validly tender and do not validly withdraw their Notes
after the Early Tender Date, but on or prior to the Expiration Date, will be eligible to receive the tender consideration of U.S.$1,112.50
per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Notes tendered (the “Tender Consideration”). The Tender Consideration does
not include the Early Tender Premium. Notes tendered may be withdrawn at any time on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on July
30, 2021, unless extended by CEMIG in its sole discretion (such time and date, as they may be extended, the “Withdrawal Date”),
but not thereafter.
If any Notes are purchased in the Offer, Notes validly tendered (and
not validly withdrawn) on or prior to the Early Tender Date will be accepted for purchase in priority to any Notes validly tendered in
the Offer after the Early Tender Date. Accordingly, if the Maximum Amount is reached in respect of tenders made on or prior to the Early
Tender Date, no Notes that are validly tendered after the Early Tender Date will be accepted for purchase, and any
Notes tendered on or prior to the Early Tender Date and accepted for
purchase on the Early Acceptance Date (or the Expiration Date, if the Early Settlement Right is not exercised) will be accepted on a prorated
basis such that we purchase an aggregate principal amount of Notes that would not exceed the Maximum Amount in the Offer.
In addition to the applicable Total Consideration and the applicable
Tender Consideration, as applicable, holders whose Notes are accepted for purchase in the Offer will also receive accrued and unpaid interest
(“Accrued Interest”) from, and including, the last interest payment date to, but not including, the Early Settlement
Date or the Final Settlement Date (each, a “Settlement Date”), as applicable.
CEMIG reserves the right, but is under no obligation, at any point
following the Early Tender Date and before the Expiration Date, to accept for purchase any Notes validly tendered and not subsequently
withdrawn on or prior to the Early Tender Date (the “Early Settlement Right”). The date of payment for Notes
purchased pursuant to the Early Settlement Right (the “Early Settlement Date”) will be determined at CEMIG’s
option and is currently expected to be August 5, 2021, subject to all conditions of the Offer having been either satisfied or waived by
CEMIG. All Notes tendered and accepted for purchase that have not been settled on the Early Settlement Date, if any, will be settled on
August 16, 2021, promptly following the Expiration Date. In all cases, the total principal amount of Notes accepted for purchase by CEMIG
may be subject to proration based upon the Maximum Amount as described in the Offer to Purchase.
Completion of the Offer is conditioned on the satisfaction or waiver
of certain conditions described in the Offer to Purchase. CEMIG has the right, in its sole discretion, to amend or terminate the Offer
at any time, subject to applicable law.
