(1)      On November 30, 2017 the Company acquired all Lepsa’s shares, and therefore as from that date on it consolidates that company in its financial statements. Lepsa’s sole asset is its holdings in the share capital of Light. Hence, the Company no longer presents the investment that it previously held at Lepsa in its consolidated statement, presenting only the interest in Light.
(2)      Equity deficit reversed through injection of capital.
(3)      On November 2017 the Company sold part of its equity interest in the jointly-controlled entity Taesa. The Company sold 34 million Units of Taesa at the price of R$ 21.10 per Unit. With the sale, the Company’s holding in the share capital of Taesa was reduced from 31.54% to 21.68%. The shares that were sold are not part of the controlling shareholding block of Taesa, and as a result Cemig continues to be in the controlling block of Taesa.

Madeira Energia S.A. (‘MESA’) and FIP Melbourne

 

MESA is the parent company of Santo Antônio Energia S.A (‘SAESA’), whose objects are operation and maintenance of the Santo Antônio Hydroelectric Plant and its transmission system, on the Madeira River. MESA’s shareholders include Furnas, Odebrecht Energia, SAAG and the Company.

 

On December 31, 2019 MESA reported a loss of R$951 (R$1,743 on 2018) and current liabilities in excess of current assets by R$427 (R$663 on 2018). Hydroelectric plants project finances structurally present negative net working capital in the first years of operation, because they are built using high levels of financial leverage. On the other hand, they have firm long term contracts for energy supply as support and guarantee of payment of their debts. To balance the situation of negative working capital, in addition to its long-term sale contracts that ensure regularity in its operational cash flow, MESA benefits from its debt reprofiling, that adjusted its debt repayments flow to its cash generation capacity, so that the investee does not depend on additional investment from the shareholders.

 

Arbitration proceedings

 

In 2014, Cemig GT and SAAG Investimentos S.A. (SAAG), a vehicle through which Cemig GT holds an indirect equity interest in MESA, opened arbitration proceedings, in the Market Arbitration Chamber, challenging the following: (a) the approved increase in the capital of MESA of approximately R$ 678 partially to be allocated to payment of the claims by the Santo Antonio Construction Consortium (‘CCSA’), based on absence of quantification of the amounts supposedly owed, and absence of prior approval by the Board of Directors, as required by the bylaws and Shareholders’ Agreement of MESA; and also on the existence of credits owed to MESA by CCSA, for an amount greater than the claims; and (b) against the adjustment for impairment carried out by the Executive Board of MESA, in the amount of R$ 678, relating to certain credits owed to Mesa by CCSA, on the grounds that those credits are owed in their totality by express provision of contract.

 

The arbitration judgment recognized the right of Cemig GT and SAAG in full, and ordered the annulment of the acts being impugned. As a consequence of this decision, MESA reversed the impairment, and posted a provision for receivables in the amount of R$ 678 in its financial statements as of December 31, 2017.

 

To resolve the question of the liability of the CCSA consortium to reimburse the costs of re-establishment of the collateral and use of the contractual limiting factor, the affiliated company opened arbitration proceedings with the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) against CCSA, which are in progress. This process is confidential under the Arbitration Regulations of the ICC.

 

Cemig GT and SAAG Investimentos S.A. applied to the judiciary for provisional remedy prior to the arbitration proceeding, to suspend the effects of the capital increase approved by an Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of Mesa held on August 28, 2018. This process is confidential under the Arbitration Regulations of the Market Arbitration Chamber.

 

Renova Energia S.A. - court-supervised reorganization (‘Renova’)

 

On December 31, 2019, the jointly-controlled investee Renova, reported a consolidated loss of R$1,014 (R$856 on 2018 and R$ 1,139 on 2017), accumulated losses of R$ 4,010 (R$3,051  on 2018), current liabilities in excess of current assets by R$ 2,907 (R$ 458 on 2018), an equity deficit of R$1,091 (R$76 on 2018) and negative gross margin and needs to obtain capital to comply with its commitments, including those for construction of wind and solar power plants.

 

These events or conditions indicate the existence of relevant uncertainty that may raise significant doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern as of December 31, 2019.

 

However, in view of the investee’s equity deficit, the Company reduced the carrying value of its equity interests in Renova, at December 31, 2018, to zero and no further losses have been recognized, considering the non-existence of any legal or constructive obligations to the investee.

 

Additionally, considering the worsening of Renova’s financial conditions and a potencial  application for court-supervised reorganization, the Company recorded, since June 30, 2019, an impairment of the receivables with the jointly-controlled entity in the amount of R$ 688 on December 31, 2019.

 

Change in control of Renova

 

On October 15, 2019, Light sold, for R$1.00, the totality of its shares held in the jointly-controlled entity Renova, equivalent in total to 17.17% of  the share capital of investee, to CG I Fundo de Investimento em Participações Multiestratégia. Additionally, Lightcom Comercializadora de Energia S.A. signed an Assignment Agreement through which it assigned all the credits held against Renova to CG I. With the expiry of the period specified in the Shareholders’ Agreement of Renova, the Company did not exercise its right of first refusal nor its right of joint sale, and thus there has been no change in its direct equity interest in Renova.

 

Application by Renova for court-supervised reorganization

 

On October 16, 2019, the second State of São Paulo Bankruptcy and I Court-Supervised Reorganization Court granted court-supervised reorganization petition applied by Renova, and by the other companies of the group (‘the Renova Group’), and determined, among other measures, the following: (i) Appointment of an independent company to act as judicial administrator.; (ii) Suspension of actions and executions against the companies of the Renova Group for 180 days, under Article 6 of Law 11,101/2005; (iii) Presentation of accounts by the 30th of each month, while the court-supervised reorganization proceedings continue, on penalty of the controlling shareholders of the companies of the Renova Group being removed, and replaced by administrator, under Article 52, IV, of Law 11,101/2005; (iv) Waiver to present tax debt clearance certificates so that the companies of the Renova Group can carry on with their activities; and (v) Order to publish a list of creditors, with 15 day term for presentation of qualifications and/or divergences of credits in relation to the court-supervised reorganization.

 

On December 17, 2019, Renova filed its court-supervised reorganization plan, which has to be approved by the General Meeting of Creditors according with the terms and conditions established by Law 11,101/2005. The jointly-controlled entity is in the process of discussing such plan and until the present date has not measured the possible effects on its accounting balances.

 

In this context, Renova signed with the Company Debtor in Possession (DIP) loan agreements in the total amount of R$37, comprising R$17 in 2019 and R$20 on January 28, 2020. The funds of these loans, made under specific rules of court-supervised reorganization proceedings, are necessary to support the expenses of maintaining the activities of Renova, and were authorized by the second State of São Paulo Bankruptcy and Court-supervised Reorganization Court. They are guaranteed by a fiduciary assignment of shares in a company owning assets of a wind power project owned by Renova, and they also have priority of receipt in the court-supervised reorganization process. Additionally, Company made an Advance for Future Capital Increase to Renova, of R$5, on October 25, 2019. On May 2,2020, the State of Sao Paulo Bankruptcy and Court-supervised Reorganization Court issued a decision ordering that the DIP loan, in the total amount of R$37 million, with asset guarantee, already constituted and registered, would be subscribed as a capital increase in Renova, Company has filed a Motion for clarification and based on the opinion of its legal advisors , has classified the chance of loss in the action as ‘possible and limited to the total amount of the DIP loan.

 

On March 20, 2020, the Board of Directors of Renova approved acceptance of a binding offer made by  ARC Capital Ltda. (‘ARC’), jointly with G5 Administradora de Recursos Ltda. (‘G5’), and XP Vista Asset Management Ltda. (‘XP’)  for financing to conclude the works of Phase A of the Alto Sertão III Wind Farm Complex, and to fund the current operational expenses of Renova.  The offer is in the phase of diligence, and still pending conclusion.

 

Considering the non-existence of any legal or constructive obligations to the investee, the Company has concluded that the granted of court-supervised reorganization filed by Renova does not have any additional impact in its financial statements.

 

Amazônia Energia S.A. and Aliança Norte Energia S.A.

 

Amazônia Energia and Aliança Norte are shareholders of Norte Energia S.A. (‘NESA’), which holds the concession to operate the Belo Monte Hydroelectric Plant. Through the jointly-controlled entities referred to above, Cemig GT owns an indirect equity interest in NESA of 11.69%.

 

On December 31, 2019 NESA presents negative net working capital of R$ 3,309, and will spend further amounts on projects specified in its concession contract, even after conclusion of the construction and full operation of the Belo Monte Hydroelectric Plant. According to the estimates and projections, the negative net working capital, and the future demands for investments in the hydroelectric plant, will be supported by revenues from future operations and/or raising of bank loans.

 

On September, 2015, NESA was awarded a preliminary injunction ordering the regulator to ‘abstain, until hearing of the application for an injunction made in the original case, from applying to Appellant any penalties or sanctions in relation to the Belo Monte Hydroelectric Plant not starting operations on the date established in the original timetable for the project, including those specified in an the regulator (Aneel) Normative Resolution 595/2013 and in the Concession Contract for the Belo Monte Hydroelectric Plant’. The legal advisors of NESA have classified the probability of loss as ‘possible’ and estimated the potential loss on December 31, 2019  to approximately  R$ 1,962 (R$1,643 on December 31, 2018).

 

d)  Business combination - Centroeste

 

On January 13, 2020, Centroeste became a wholly own subsidiary of the Company through the acquisition of the remaining equity interest of 49% held by Eletrobras. The acquisition is the result of exercise of the right of first refusal for acquisition of the shareholding offered by Eletrobras Auction 01/2018, Lot P, held on September 27, 2018, and confirmed on January 15, 2019.

 

Centroeste operates in construction, operation and maintenance of the transmission facilities of the Furnas-Pimenta transmission line – part of the national grid.

 

The cash consideration paid amounted to R$45, which was the price in the Tender Announcement, adjusted by the accumulated variation of the Selic rate up to the date of conclusion of the transaction and adjusted by the dividends and/or interest on equity paid or declared by Centroeste in favor of Eletrobras in the period.

 

Prior to the acquisition above and as of on December 31, 2019 the Company held a 51% share of the investee, and did not control the entity according to its shareholders agreement, therefore, the investment in Centroeste was accounted for under the equity method.

 

Based on the provisions of IFRS 3 – Business combinations, the Company remeasured the previously held interest  at fair value on the date control was obtained, and any difference between the fair value and the carrying value of the investment will be recognized in the statement of income in 2020, as follows:

       
    Centroeste      
Fair value on the acquisition date   120  
Equity interest held by the Company before the acquisition of control    51 %
Previously held interest, valued at fair value on the date control was obtained   61  
Carrying value of the investment   (24 )
Gain on remeasurement of previously held equity interest in subsidiaries acquired to be recognized in 2020   37  
       

The remeasurement of the previously held interest based on the preliminary fair value of the net assets acquired is as follows: 

       
    Centroeste      
Cash consideration paid for 49% of the equity of Centroeste    45  
Previously held interest, valued at fair value on the acquisition date – 51%    61  
Bargain purchase   14  
Total    120  
       

The preliminary fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired at the acquisition date, is as follows: 

         
Assets Fair value on the
transaction date 
  Liabilities  Fair value on the
transaction date 
Current  29    Current  6 
Cash and cash equivalents  27    Loans and financings 
Other current assets    Interest on equity and dividends payable 
Non-current  108    Other current liabilities 
Contract assets and Right to exploitation of the regulated activity 108    Non-current  11 
      Loans and financings 
      Provisions 
      Fair value of net identifiable assets  120 

 

The abovementioned effects will be recorded in 2020 in the transmission operating segment.

 

e)  Risks related to compliance with law and regulations

 

Jointly controlled entities and affiliates:

 

Norte Energia S.A. (‘NESA’) - through Amazônia Energia and Aliança Norte

 

Investigations and other legal measures are in progress since 2015, conducted by the Federal Public Attorneys’ Office, which involve other shareholders of NESA and certain executives of those other shareholders. In this context, the Federal Public Attorneys have started investigations on irregularities involving contractors and suppliers of NESA and of its other shareholders, which are still in progress. At present, it is not possible to determine the outcome of these investigations, and their possible consequences. These might at some time in the future affect the investee. In addition, based on the results of the independent internal investigation conducted by NESA and its other shareholders, an infrastructure write-down of R$ 183 was already recorded at NESA, and reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements through the equity pick effect in 2015.

 

On March 9, 2018 ‘Operação Fortuna’ started, as a 49th phase of ‘Operation Lava Jato’ (‘Operation Carwash’). According to what has been disclosed by the media this operation investigates payment of bribes by the construction consortium of the Belo Monte power plant, comprising the companies Camargo Corrêa, Andrade Gutierrez, Odebrecht, OAS and J. Malucelli. Management of NESA believes that so far there are no new facts that have been disclosed by the 49th phase of ‘Operation Carwash’ that require additional procedures and internal independent investigation in addition to those already carried out.

 

The Company’s management, based on its knowledge of the matters described above and on the independent procedure carried out, believes that the conclusions presented in the report of the independent investigation are adequate and appropriate. As a result, no adjustment has been made on its financial statements. The effects of any future changes in the existing scenario will be reflected appropriately in the Company’s financial statements.

 

Madeira Energia S.A. (‘MESA’)

 

Investigations and other legal measures are in progress since 2015, conducted by the Federal Public Attorneys’ Office, which involve other indirect shareholders of MESA and certain executives of those other indirect shareholders. In this context, the Federal Public Attorneys have started investigations searching for irregularities involving contractors and suppliers of MESA and of its other shareholders. In response to allegations of possible illegal activities, the investee and its other shareholders started an independent internal investigation.

 

The independent internal investigation, concluded in February 2019, in the absence of any future developments such as any leniency agreements by third parties that may come to be signed or collaboration undertakings that may be signed by third parties with the Brazilian authorities, found no objective evidence enabling it to be affirmed that there were any supposed undue payments by MESA (SAESA) that should be considered for possible accounting write-off, pass-through or increase of costs to compensate undue advantages and/or linking of MESA with the acts of its suppliers, in the terms of the witness accusations and/or cooperation statements that have been made public.

 

The Company’s management, based on its knowledge of the matters described above and on the independent procedures carried out, believes that the conclusions presented in the report of the independent investigation are adequate and appropriate. As a result, no adjustment has been made on its financial statements. The effects of any future changes in the existing scenario will be reflected appropriately in the Company’s financial statements.

 

Renova Energia S.A. (‘Renova’)

 

Since 2017 Renova is part of a formal investigation by the Civil Police of Minas Gerais State and other public authorities related to certain capital injections made by some of its controlling shareholders, including the Company and capital injections made by Renova in certain projects under development in previous years.

 

On April 11, 2019, the Brazilian Federal Police commenced the ‘Operation E o Vento Levou’ as part of the Lava Jato Investigation, and executed a search and seizure warrant issued by a Federal Court of São Paulo at Renova’s head office in São Paulo, based on allegations and indications of misappropriation of funds harmful to the interests of Cemig. Based on the allegations being investigated, these events are alleged to have taken place before 2015. On July 25, 2019 the second phase of such investigation initiated.

 

The ‘Operation E o Vento Levou’ and the police investigation of the Minas Gerais State Civil Police have not yet been concluded. Thus, there is a possibility that material information may be revealed in the future. If a criminal action is filed against agents who could have damaged Renova, Renova intends to act as auxiliary to the prosecution in any criminal proceedings, and subsequently sue for civil reparation of the damages suffered.

 

In 2019 the tax authority had issued  infraction notices against Renova, questioning the calculation of income tax and social contribution tax, and payment of withholding income, relating to contracts of services which allegedly did not have the due consideration, in the estimated amount of R$89. Based on the opinion of its legal advisors, Renova provided for this amount as contingency on its financial statements.

 

Due to these third party investigations, the governance bodies of Renova have requested opening of an internal investigation, conducted by an independent company with the support of an external law firm, the scope of which comprises assessment of the existence of irregularities, including noncompliance with: the Brazilian legislation related to acts of corruption and money laundering; Renova’s Code of Ethics; and its integrity policies. Additionally, a Monitoring Committee was established in Renova which, jointly with the Audit Committee, accompanied this investigation. The internal investigation was concluded on February 20, 2020, and no concrete evidences of acts of corruption or diversion of funds to political campaigns were identified.

 

However, the independent investigators identified irregularities in the conducting of business and agreement of contracts by Renova, including: (i) payments without evidence of the consideration of services, in the total amount of approximately R$ 40; (ii) payments not in accordance with the company’s internal policies and best governance practices, in the total amount of approximately R$ 137; and (iii) deficiencies in the internal controls of the investee.

 

As a result of the analysis of the above mentioned values, Renova concluded that R$35 relates to effective assets and therefore no impairment is necessary. The remaining amount of R$142 was already impaired in previous years, producing no impact on the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

In response to the irregularities found, and based on the recommendations of the Monitoring Committee and legal advisers, the Board of Directors of Renova decided to take all the steps necessary to preserve the rights of the investee, continue with the measures to obtain reimbursement of the losses caused, and strengthen the company’s internal controls.

 

Since the investment at Renova is fully impaired at December 31, 2019, and since no contractual or constructive obligations in relation to the investee have been assumed by the Company, it is not expected that effects resulting from the court-supervised reorganization process, or the investigations, or the operational activities of this investee can significantly impact the Company’s financial statements, even if eventually not yet recorded by Renova.

 

Other investigations

 

In addition to the cases above, there are investigations being conducted by the Public Attorneys’ Office of the State of Minas Gerais (‘MPMG’) and by the Civil Police of the State of Minas Gerais (‘PCMG’), which aim to investigate possible irregularities in the investments made by the Company in Guanhães Energia and also in MESA. Additionally, on April 11, 2019 agents of the Brazilian Federal Police were in the Company’s head office in Belo Horizonte to execute a search and seizure warrant issued by a São Paulo Federal Court in connection with the ‘Operation E o Vento Levou’, as described above.

 

These proceedings are being investigated through reviewing documents demanded by the respective authorities, and by hearing of witnesses.

 

Internal procedures for risks related to compliance with law and regulations

 

Taking into account the investigations that are being conducted at the Company and at certain investees, as described above, the governance bodies of the Company have authorized contracting a specialized company to analyze the internal procedures related to these investments, as well as the factors that led the Company to be assessed by federal tax authority for not paying withholding income tax in the acquisition of Light’s interest from Enlighted (see Note 27). This independent investigation was subject to oversight of an independent investigation committee whose creation was approved by our Board of Directors.

 

The Company’s internal investigation was completed and the corresponding report was issued on May 8, 2020. Considering the results of the internal investigations, no objective evidence was identified to affirm that there were illegal acts on the investments made by Company that were subject to the investigation, therefore, there was no impact in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2019.

 

In the second semester of 2019, Company signed tooling agreements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and US Department of Justice (DOJ). Cemig has complied with the requests and intends to continue contributing to the SEC and the DOJ.

 

The Company will evaluate any changes in the future scenario and eventual impacts that could affect the financial statements, when appropriate. The Company will collaborate with the relevant authorities and their analysis related to the investigations in progress.
