<P STYLE="font: 11pt/17pt Segoe UI, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0 5.8pt 0 0.1pt; text-align: justify">With respect to a merger of a
company by its respective controlling company (as is the case of the Merger), paragraph 3 of article 264 of the Brazilian Corporations
Law establishes that, if the ratio of substitution of shares of the merged company for shares of the acquiring company is less favorable
than that indicated by the appraisal report prepared for the purposes of article 264 of the Brazilian Corporation Law, the right of withdrawal
of the dissident shareholders will be calculated based on the appraisal value indicated in the report in question, provided that they
request it within the stipulated time. Such appraisal reports were contracted by the Company and Eletropar with Ernst &amp; Young Assessoria
Empresarial Ltda. (EY), and such contracting will be subject to ratification by the Company's shareholders at the EGM.</P>

for the purposes of the aforementioned article 264 is 1 (one) common share of Eletropar for 0.5296 common share of Eletrobras, therefore
less advantageous for Eletropar's shareholders than the replacement ratio proposed in the Protocol and Justification of the transaction,
that is, the one proposed by the special independent committee of Eletropar.</P>

264, paragraph 3, of the Brazilian Corporations Law are not applicable to Eletropar's dissident shareholders, in such a way that the right
of withdrawal of such shareholders will be equivalent to the value of the book value of equity as stated in Eletropar's financial statements
as of December 31, 2023, approved at Eletropar's ordinary general meeting held on April 29, 2024, amounting to BRL18.4635 per share.</P>

who exercised the right of withdrawal will jeopardize the financial stability of Eletropar, they are entitled to call the General Assembly
