15.1.2 2014 Construction Works for the World Cup

Regarding the credit related to the 2014 World Soccer Cup of R$ 14,266 (R$ 14,266 as of December 31, 2017), through the 2,119^th Meeting held on July 28, 2014, Copel’s executive board approved the transfer of the credit rights of the costs related to mobility projects for the FIFA 2014 World Soccer Cup made by Copel DIS and under the responsibility of the Paraná State government. ANEEL agreed to the transaction through Order No. 3,483/2015 and a Credit Assignment Agreement that transfers Copel DIS rights to Copel was executed.

In addition, State Law No. 18,875, dated September 27, 2016, authorized the State of Paraná to pay debts due and unpaid to Copel relating to services rendered up to the date of publication of said Law.

After the issuance of said law, there were several administrative negotiations in order to settle this debt with the appropriate bodies. However, in view of the administrative procedures adopted at the time of such works and other documentary hindrances, Management reassessed the issue and decided to establish a provision for the event of non-receipt of this asset. Management stresses that it will continue making all necessary efforts and taking all appropriate measures to preserve the Company’s interests.
