be exchanged for common shares issued by Eletrobras. The exchange ratio was recommended by Eletropar's special independent committee,
established for the purpose of negotiating and recommending the share exchange terms between the companies involved, and was set at 1

shareholder (as in this transaction), &sect;3 of Article 264 of the Brazilian Corporations Law provides that if the exchange ratio for
shares in the merged company is less favorable than that determined by the valuation report under said article, dissenting shareholders
who timely exercise their right to withdraw shall be reimbursed based on the valuation indicated in the report. The valuation reports
were prepared by Ernst &amp; Young Assessoria Empresarial Ltda. (EY), and their engagement is subject to ratification by the shareholders
of the Company at the EGM.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/120% Verdana,sans-serif; margin: 0 0 8pt; text-align: justify">It is important to note that the exchange ratio based
on the valuation reports for purposes of Article 264 is 1 Eletropar common share for 0.5296 Eletrobras common share, which is less favorable
to Eletropar shareholders than the ratio proposed in the Protocol and Justification of the transaction, namely the one recommended by
Eletropar's special independent committee.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/120% Verdana,sans-serif; margin: 0 0 8pt; text-align: justify">Therefore, Article 264, &sect;3, of the Brazilian
Corporations Law does not apply to dissenting shareholders of Eletropar, and their right of withdrawal shall be calculated based on the
book value of equity in Eletropar's financial statements as of December 31, 2023, approved at Eletropar's Annual General Meeting held
on April 29, 2024, in the amount of R$ 18.4635 per share.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/120% Verdana,sans-serif; margin: 0 0 8pt; text-align: justify">As for the Company, neither the Brazilian Corporations
Law nor any applicable regulation grants withdrawal rights to dissenting Eletrobras shareholders. According to Article 137, item IV, of
the Brazilian Corporations Law, Eletropar shareholders must exercise their right of withdrawal within 30 days from the publication of
