Directors, at its 212<SUP>th</SUP> Ordinary Meeting, held on March 17, 2021, approved the 1<SUP>st</SUP> Share Conversion and Share Deposit
Certificate Formation Program (&quot;Units Program&quot;), which was approved on April 23, 2021 and operations began on April 26, 2021
in the Brazilian, American and European markets..</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0 0 6pt 14.2pt; text-align: justify">The Units Program, as approved by the
Board of Directors at its 212<SUP>th</SUP> Ordinary Meeting, held on March 17, 2021, was conceived with the aim of concentrating investments
dispersed between ordinary and preferred shares into a single security, standardizing shareholders' rights and generating increased liquidity
for the shares issued by the Company. To this end, at the time, the Units Program was subject to verification that the Units formed amounted
to at least 60% (sixty percent) of the outstanding shares. The definition of the condition of 60% of outstanding shares, approved by the
Board of Directors, had the main goal of stimulating the market for Units and ensuring liquidity for investors.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0 0 6pt 14.2pt; text-align: justify">With the recent transformation of the
company into a dispersed capital company with no defined controlling shareholder, there has been a substantial increase in the liquidity
of the common shares. The chart below shows the liquidity of shares issued by Copel, based on the average daily trading volume calculated
over 20 (twenty) trading days (ADTV). It can be seen that the liquidity of the class &quot;B&quot; preferred shares (CPLE6) has been 8
(eight) times greater than the Units (CPLE11) since the implementation of the Units Program. The liquidity of the Units (CPLE11) since
December/2022 has remained below that of the ordinary shares (CPLE3) and has fluctuated at a very low level of liquidity over the months.
In addition, after the offering of ordinary shares, the representativeness of the Units decreased significantly:</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt/107% Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0 0 8pt 14.2pt; text-align: justify">With the transformation of Copel
into a corporation, it is necessary to improve the guidelines for the compensation of members of the company's statutory bodies, which
is a fundamental measure for retaining executives and board members with the qualifications needed to preserve and increase the company's
long-term economic value.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt/107% Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0 0 8pt 14.2pt; text-align: justify">The company's transition to a corporation
has accentuated the need to adopt strategic practices with a focus on the company's competitiveness and sustainability, which consequently
requires qualified professionals to coordinate the business.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt/107% Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0 0 8pt 14.2pt; text-align: justify">In view of this scenario, the purpose
of this proposal is to submit for shareholder approval: <B>i)</B> the necessary partial adjustment of Copel's managers compensation, including
the recomposition of the total remuneration (total compensation) of the members of the Executive Board, with the reinstatement of the
provision for the payment of short-term incentives linked to performance goals and the partial application of inflationary indices for
the period from 2018 to the present date and <B>ii)</B> the necessary partial revision of the compensation of the members of the Boards
and Statutory Committees, in accordance with market practices.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt/107% Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0 0 8pt 14.2pt; text-align: justify">The fixed remuneration of statutory
bodies (Executive Officers and members of statutory bodies) from 2018 to 2022 remained at the same levels, without the application of
inflation adjustment indices. In addition, in 2022 the amount relating to the Executive Board's short-term incentive was excluded from
the overall compensation base.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt/107% Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0 0 8pt 14.2pt; text-align: justify">As for the proposal to review the
compensation of the members of the Boards and Statutory Committees, a market survey was carried out in 2021, with the support of a specialized
external consultancy, which covered the compensation and practices of Boards of Directors and Supervisory Boards, as well as Statutory
Advisory Committees, with the aim of verifying the practices of the electricity sector and of publicly and privately-held national companies
of a similar size to the Company. As a result of the work, it was identified a need to adequately review the remuneration of the members
of the Company's various statutory bodies, as well as the respective chairmen of the Boards and Committees.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt/107% Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0 0 8pt 14.2pt; text-align: justify">It should be noted that the Company's
compensation practices are guided by a Remuneration Policy for Statutory Bodies and Corporate Governance (NPC 0321), approved on January
08, 2021, which deals with the principles of focus on results, diligence, transparency, fairness, competitiveness, corporate responsibility
and ESG commitments. The internal normative document was approved by the Company's Board of Directors and provides guidelines for the
proper maintenance of professional recognition practices in accordance with up-to-date market parameters.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt/107% Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0 0 8pt 14.2pt; text-align: justify">With the proposed changes, the amount
to be supplemented to the Directors' overall limit for 2023 is R$5,691,451.84 (five million, six hundred and ninety-one, four hundred
and fifty-one reais and eighty-four cents), including the restitution of the estimated payment of the short-term incentive linked to performance
goals and the partial application of the inflationary adjustment from 2018 to the present date for the Executive Board, as well as the
adjustment to market practices for the members of the Boards and Statutory Committees. The overall amount for 2023 is now R$17,078,258.27
(seventeen million, seventy-eight thousand, two hundred and fifty-eight reais and twenty-seven cents), this amount being applied to the
compensation of the Executive Officers, members of the Boards and Statutory Committees, to be individualized by the Board of Directors.</P>
