(‘Light Energia’) of up to 7,282,036 shares in Renova owned by CGI funded investments in parts but signs (‘CG I’) and certain parties related to that Fund. The shares to be acquired from CGI include the shares currently bound by the Shareholders’ Agreement of Renova, signed on December 19, 2014.

The shares in CG I will be acquired in the proportion of 67.85% by Cemig GT and 32.15% by Light Energia and, in consideration CG I will receive securities issued by Light Energia and by Cemig GT in the same proportion, corresponding to nominal value of R$ 14.68 per share in Renova, common or preferred, which will be subject to adjustments arising, among other matters, from the following: (i) the costs incurred for regularization of land ownership of Renova; and (ii) existence of certain contingencies up to the date of closing of the transaction.

The Agreement also provides that certain common shares owned by CG I shall be converted into preferred shares, enabling Cemig GT to form ‘Units’ in Renova in the terms specified in Article 54 of the by-laws of Renova. As a result, after the closing, Cemig GT will be owner of 50% or less of the common shares in Renova.

The closing of the acquisition of shares is subject to compliance with the conditions that are usual in this type of transaction, and to completion of the acts of financial restructuring of Renova.

Also, the Board of Directors of Cemig GT have approved, subject to the closing of the share acquisition, a Public Offering to Acquire Shares in Renova, to be made by Cemig GT and Light Energia, on a date to be announced, in which the shareholders of Renova will be offered equal treatment to that being offered to CG I.

(‘BNDESPar’), of exercise of BNDESPar’s right of joint sale (‘tag-along’) over the totality of the shares held by BNDESPar at Renova, comprising 696,683 Units representing a total of 5.01% of the share capital of Renova – in accordance with the terms of the Shareholders’ Agreement to which Cemig GT adhered on September 29, 2014. Under that Shareholders’ agreement, in the event of any of the controlling shareholders of Renova wishing to transfer any shares bound by that agreement, BNDESPar has a right of joint sale, giving it the option of transferring its entire holding of Units (each Unit comprising two preferred shares and one common share) to the acquiring party, in the same transaction and on the same terms. The transaction is still subject to several conditions precedent specified in the Share Purchase Agreement.

(‘LightCom’) on base dates March 2019; and the debts to Citibank and BTG Pactual, of approximately R$ 176 and R$ 179, respectively.
