MANAGEMENT'S PROPOSAL TO FILL VACANCIES IN THE SUPERVISORY BOARD AND IN THE NOMINATION AND EVALUATION COMMITTEE, AND TO AMEND OF ARTICLE 5 OF THE COMPANY'S BYLAWS, PURSUANT TO THE PREROGATIVE SET FORTH IN PARAGRAPH 7, ITEM I OF ARTICLE 5, DUE TO THE CONVERSION OF CLASS A PREFERRED SHARES (PNA) INTO CLASS B PREFERRED SHARES (PNB), AT THE REQUEST OF SHAREHOLDERS

Dear Shareholder:

According to the Company's Bylaws, the Supervisory Board is a permanent oversight body, which shall act collectively and individually, with the powers and duties set forth by Federal Laws
No. 6,404/1976 and No. 13, 303/2016, and further applicable legal provisions.

It consists of five members and an equal number of alternates, elected by the General Shareholders' Meeting, whose unified term of office shall be of two years, reelection being permitted for no more than two consecutive times.

The members of the Supervisory Board shall be natural persons, residing in the country, whose academic background is compatible with their roles as members of such board and who have held, for at least three years, senior management or advisory positions in the public administration or acted as members of the Supervisory Board, the Executive Board or the Board of Directors in a company.

Considering the vacancies in the Company's Supervisory Board, to be filled by candidates appointed by the state of Paraná, Copel's controlling shareholder, to serve for the remainder of the 2019-2021 term of office, the following names were put forward:

• JOSÉ PAULO DA SILVA FILHO - appointed through official letter OF CEE/G 395/19, of 09.16.2019, for the position of sitting member of the Supervisory Board, to fill the vacant position resulting from the resignation of Mr. Nilso Sguarezi.

• EMIR CALLUF FILHO - appointed through official letter OF CEE/G 395/19, of 09.16.2019, for the position of alternate member of the Supervisory Board, to fill the vacant position resulting from the resignation of Mr. Adrian Lima da Hora.

Additionally, due to the resignation of Ms. Vanessa Claro Lopes from the position of alternate member of the Supervisory Board, an election to fill the vacant position for the remainder of the 2019-2021 term of offce is required.

As the law does not make the early submission of the proposed names for election mandatory, in accordance with CVM’s Rule No. 561/2015, the other shareholders may appoint a candidate, at the General Meeting, during the analysis of the matter, as long as they have the right to do so, according to the criteria specified above.

Shareholders wishing to include candidates’ names in the distance voting ballot paper for the Extraordinary General Meeting must send a written request to the Company until November 7, 2019, addressed to the Chief Financial and Investors Relations Officer, at Rua Coronel Dulcídio, 800 - Batel, CEP 80420-170, Curitiba, Paraná, or through the e-mail address acionistas@copel.com, pursuant to article 21-L of CVM’s Rule no. 481/2009, and the requirements established in article 21-M of the same Rule, and in item 12.2 of the Company's Reference Form.

The Nomination and Evaluation Committee - NEC is a permanent statutory body, auxiliary to the company’s shareholders, responsible for verifying compliance of the processes of nomination and evaluation of members of the Board of Directors, the Supervisory Board, the Executive Board and statutory committees with the current legislation.

The NEC consists of five members, elected and dismissed by the Shareholders' Meeting, whose unified term of office is of two years, reelection being permitted for no more than two consecutive times, as follows: a. three members appointed by the company’s controlling shareholder; and b. two members appointed by the company’s minority shareholders.

Página 1 de 7

There is a single Nomination and Evaluation Committee for the holding company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The scope of the committee might be extended to controlled companies, affiliates and companies in which Copel holds a financial interest. NEC is responsible for verifying the compliance of the process of nomination and evaluation of the members of the Board of Directors, the Executive Board, the Supervisory Board and the statutory committees.

The members of the Nomination and Evaluation Committee state opinion on the fulfillment of requirements and the absence of prohibitions regarding the election of members of the Board of Directors, the Executive Board, the Supervisory Board and the statutory committees, thus assisting shareholders with the appointment of such members.

Considering the vacancies in the Company's Nomination and Evaluation Committee, to be filled by candidates appointed by the state of Paraná, Copel's controlling shareholder, to serve for the remainder of the 2019-2021 term of office, the following names were put forward:

· ROBSON AUGUSTO PASCOALINI - appointed through official letter OF CEE/G 395/19, of 09.16.2019, to fill the vacant position resulting from the resignation of Mr. Marcos Domakoski.

· MARCOS LEANDRO PEREIRA - appointed through official letter OF CEE/G 458/19, of 10.16.2019, to fill the vacant position resulting from the resignation of Mr. Paulo Henrique Laporte Ambrozewicz.

Amendment of article 5 of the Company's Bylaws, pursuant to the prerogative set forth in paragraph 7, item I of the same article, which allowed for the conversion of class A preferred shares (PNA) into class B preferred shares (PNB), at the request of shareholders, without producing any legal or economic effects. The conversion will result in the amendment of article 5, which, if approved, will be worded as follows:

"Underwritten paid up capital is R$10,800,000,000.00 (ten billion and eight hundred million reais), represented by 273,655,375 (two hundred and seventy-three million, six hundred and fifty-five thousand and three hundred and seventy-five) shares, with no par value, composed of 145,031,080 (one hundred and forty-five million, thirty-one thousand and eighty) ordinary shares, and 128,624,295 (one hundred and twenty-eight million, six hundred and twenty-four thousand and two hundred and ninety-five) preferred shares, of which 327,187 (three hundred and twenty-seven thousand and one hundred and eighty-seven) shares are class “A” and 128,297,108 (one hundred twenty-eight million, two hundred ninety-seven thousand and one hundred and eight) shares are class “B”."

Previous text marking alterations being made:

"Article 5 - Underwritten paid up capital is R$10,800,000,000.00 (ten billion and eight hundred million reais), represented by 273,655,375 (two hundred and seventy-three million, six hundred and fifty-five thousand and three hundred and seventy-five) shares, with no par value, composed of 145,031,080 (one hundred and forty-five million, thirty-one thousand and eighty) ordinary shares, and 128,624,295 (one hundred and twenty-eight million, six hundred and twenty-four thousand and two hundred and ninety-five) preferred shares, of which 327,187 (three hundred and twenty-seven thousand, one hundred and eighty-seven) 328.627 (three hundred and twenty-eight thousand, six hundred and twenty-seven) shares are class “A” and 128,297,108 (one hundred twenty-eight million, two hundred ninety-seven, one hundred and eight) 128,295,668 (one hundred twenty-eight million, two hundred ninety-five thousand and six hundred and sixty-eight) shares are class “B”."

For the reasons stated above, the Company's Management calls on its shareholders to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting to be held on December 2, 2019 to decide on these matters.

Dear Shareholder:

It is with great pleasure that I present to you this Manual for Participation in the General Shareholders’ Meeting of Companhia Paranaense de Energia - Copel, with general guidance for effective participation and exercise of the vote.

This manual has been prepared based on Copel's Corporate Governance policy, which is founded on transparency and equity.

The manual aims to present, in a clear and brief manner, the information related to the Company’s General Shareholders’ Meeting, seeking thereby to contribute for the understanding of the proposals for resolution and to encourage the participation of shareholders in the events of the annual corporate agenda of the Company.

Copel’s 200th Extraordinary General Meeting was called for December 2, 2019, at 2:30 p.m., at the Company’s headquarters, located at Rua Coronel Dulcídio, 800, in the city of Curitiba.

The matters to be presented in the EGM for resolution of shareholders are described in the Call Notice and in this manual, which also include the types of shares granting the right to vote on the items of the agenda. Given the current number of Company shareholders, this manual seeks to encourage and enable participation in the General Meeting.

Your participation is very important, considering that issues relevant to the Company and its shareholders are dealt with in the General Shareholders’ Meetings.

Yours sincerely,

Marcel Martins Malczewski

Chairman of the Board of Directors
