Bylaws, approved and consolidated at the 203rd Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting on November 26, 2021, the Shareholders' Meeting is
responsible for deciding on Copel's Indemnity Policy and on the general conditions contained in the Indemnity Agreements (attached to
such Policy). Furthermore, item 5.6.2 of Copel's Indemnity Policy provides that the Maximum Limit of Guarantee of the indemnity agreements
will be deliberated annually by the General Shareholders' Meeting.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0 0 0 28.35pt; text-align: justify">The Company's Board of Directors,
in its 236th Ordinary Meeting, on March 14, 2023, unanimously approved the forwarding of the proposal to establish the maximum and global
financial limit for the indemnity agreement for the period from January 1 to December 31, 2023.&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 6pt 28.35pt; text-align: justify">The Indemnity Agreements are the
legal instruments to be formalized with the Beneficiaries of the Indemnity Policy, which are the Company's Managers, Members of the Supervisory
Board and Members of Statutory Committees. &nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0 0 0 28.35pt; text-align: justify">By means of each indemnity agreement,
the Company undertakes to guarantee the payment of any and all expenses that may be proven to be due by the Beneficiaries by virtue of
claims, inquiries, investigations, and administrative or judicial proceedings that aim at imputing any responsibility for regular management
acts, thus considered the decisions and actions carried out diligently, in accordance with good faith, aiming at the Company's social
interest and in compliance with its fiduciary duties.&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 6pt 0 6pt 28.35pt; text-align: justify">In order to ensure the complete
implementation of the Company's Indemnity Policy, as foreseen in its guidelines, it is up to the General Shareholders' Meeting to approve

<P STYLE="font: 11pt/12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0 0 0 28.35pt; text-align: justify">Thus, according to the criteria established
in the Indemnity Policy, the Maximum Guarantee Limit should not exceed 0.125% of the Company's Net Worth, being R$25,000,000.00 (twenty-five
million reais) the amount proposed for the year 2023. &nbsp;</P>
