The Company’s Share Capital may be increased by up to a limit of 10% (ten percent) of the share capital set in the by-laws, without need for change in the by-laws and upon decision of the Board of Directors, having previously heard statement of opinion issued by the Fiscal Council.

 

Capital increase

 

The Annual General Meeting held on July 31, 2020 approved Management's proposal for allocation of the profits for 2019, disclosed in the 2019 financial statements, and a capital increase from R$ 7,294 to R$ 7,594, as per Article 199 of the Brazilian Corporate Law (Law 6,404/76), since the profit reserves at December 31, 2019 (excluding tax incentive reserve and unrealized profit reserve) exceeded the share capital, by R$537. This capital increase was made through the issuance of 60,000,000 new shares, of which 20,056,076 were common shares and 39,943,924 preferred shares, by capitalization of R$300 from profit reserves, and as a result, a share bonus of 4.11% in new shares was issued to shareholders, of the same type as those held, and with nominal unit value of R$5.00.

 

In addition, the Annual General Meeting held on April 30, 2021 approved the Management’s proposal for increase of the registered share capital from R$7,594 to R$8,467, also pursuant to Article 199 of the Brazilian Corporate Law, since the profit reserve at December 31, 2020, (excluding tax incentive reserve and the unrealized profit reserve), exceed the registered share capital by R$1,529. This capital increase was made through the issuance of 174,609,467 new shares, of which 58,366,345 were common shares and 116,243,122 preferred shares, with nominal unit value of R$5.00, by the capitalization of R$873 from retained earnings reserve.

 

b) Earnings per share

 

The number of shares included in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings, considering the new shares issued in 2020 and in 2021, is described in the table below. The comparative information for 2019 and 2018 was adjusted retrospectively in order to reflect the capital increases.

Total     1,692,711,172       1,692,711,172       1,692,711,172  

  

Basic and diluted earnings per share

 

The Company’s preferred shares carry the right to a minimum mandatory dividend, as shown in more detail in item ‘e’.

 

The purchase and sale options of investments described in Note 32 could potentially dilute basic earning per share in the future; however, they have not caused dilution of enaring per share in 2020, 2019 and 2018.

 

The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share is as follows:

Considering that each class of share participates equally in the profit reported, the earning per share in the fiscal years ended

 

in December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 were, respectively, R$1.69, R$1.89 and R$1.02. These figures are calculated based on the Company’s number of shares on December 31, 2020, adjusting the earning per share of the comparative prior years, 2019 and 2018.

 

c) Equity valuation adjustments

The adjustments to post-employment benefit obligations comprise gains or losses resulting from re-measurements of the net defined-benefit obligation, in accordance with the actuarial report.

 

The amounts recorded as deemed cost of the generation assets represents its fair value determined using the replacement cost at initial adoption of IFRS on January 1, 2009. The valuation of the generation assets resulted in an increase in their book value, recorded in a specific line in Equity, net of the tax effects. These values are being realized based on the depreciation of the assets.

 

d) Reserves

 

Capital reserves

 

    2020   2019   2018
Investment-related donations and subsidies     1,857       1,857       1,857  
Goodwill on issuance of shares     394       394       394  
Shares in treasury     (1 )     (1 )     (1 )
      2,250       2,250       2,250  

 

The Reserve for investment-related donations and subsidies basically refers to the compensation by the Federal Government for the difference between the profitability obtained by Cemig up to March 1993 and the minimum return guaranteed by the legislation in effect at the time.

 

The reserve for treasury shares refers to the pass-through by Finor of shares arising from funds applied in Cemig projects in the area covered by Sudene (the development agency for the Northeast) under tax incentive programs.

 

Profit reserves

 

    2020  

2019 

(Restated)

 

2018

(Restated)

Legal reserve     995       853       853  
Statutory reserve     57       57       57  
Retained earnings reserve     6,650       5,500       3,965  
Unrealized profit reserve     835       835       —    
Incentive tax reserve     103       85       67  
Reserve for mandatory dividends not distributed     1,420       1,420       1,420  
      10,060       8,750       6,362  

 

Legal reserve

 

Constitution of the legal reserve is mandatory, up to the limits established by law. The purpose of the reserve is to ensure the security of the share capital, its use being allowed only for offsetting of losses or increase capital. This reserve constitution corresponds to 5% of the net income for the year, less the amount allocated to incentive tax reserve.

 

Statutory reserve

 

The reserve under the By-laws is for future payment of extraordinary dividends, in accordance with Article 28 of the by-laws.

 

Retained earnings reserve

 

Retained earnings reserves refers to profits not distributed in prior years, to guarantee execution of the Company’s Investment Program, and amortization of loans and financing. The retentions are supported by capital budgets approved by the Board of Directors in the respective years.

 

Unrealized profit reserve

 

Article 197 of the Brazilian corporate law nº 6,404/76 allows the Company to pay the mandatory dividend, calculated as required by the Bylaws (see e) below), up to the amounts of the realized portion of the net income for the year (received in cash). The excess between such mandatory dividend amount and the dividends that will be actually paid was recorded in the “Unrealized profit reserve”.

 

In 2020, Company presented a positive net share of profit of subsidiaries, jointly-controlled entities and affiliates of R$2,704, which can be regarded as unrealized portion of net income for the year, in accordance with the Brazilian corporate law.

 

Additionally, the above does not apply to the payment of the minimum mandatory dividends on preferred shares, which are required to be paid in full for an amount of R$506, as described in further details in f) below. In addition, since the creation of the unrealized profit reserve is optional, Management decided to propose the same proportion of dividend payment to shareholders owning common shares, considering Company’s expected financial capacity.

 

The outstanding balance of the unrealized profit reserve will remain R$835, considering the reversal of the reserve recorded in 2019 and the creation of a new one in 2020, in the same amount.

 

The unrealized profit reserve amounts can only be used to pay mandatory dividends. Hence, when the Company realizes such profits in cash, it must distribute the corresponding dividend in the subsequent period, after offsetting of any losses in subsequent years.

 

Incentives tax reserve

 

The Company has a right to a 75% reduction in income tax, including the tax paid at the additional rate, calculated on the basis of the operating profit in the region of Sudene (the Development Agency for the Northeast), for 10 years starting in 2014. The amount of the incentive recognized in the Statement of income was R$18 in 2020 (R$18 in 2019 and R$9 in 2018), and it was subsequently transferred to the Incentives Tax reserve. The amount of the Tax incentives reserve on December 31, 2020 was R$103 (R$85 at December 31, 2019). This reserve cannot be used for payment of dividends.

 

Reserve for mandatory dividends not distributed

 

    2020
Dividends withheld, arising from the net income of 2015     623  
Dividends withheld, arising from the net income of 2014     797  
      1,420  

 

These dividends were retained in Equity, in years 2015 and 2014, in the account Reserve for mandatory dividends not distributed; and as per the proposal approved in the Annual General Meetings of 2016 and 2015, the dividends retained will be paid as soon as the Company’s financial situation permits. The Company's Management, in view of the uncertainties present in the current macroeconomic scenario and the estimated cash requirement for the nex year, concluded that the financial situation does not yet allow the payment of these retained dividends.

 

  e) Rights and preferences of the common and preferred shares

 

Every holder of Cemig common shares has the right to vote in an election for members of our Board of Directors. Under the Brazilian Corporate Law, any shareholder holding at least 5% of Cemig’s common shares in circulation may request adoption of a multiple vote procedure, which confers upon each share a number of votes equal to the present number of members of the Board of Directors and gives the shareholder the right to accumulate his or her votes in one sole candidate, or distribute them among several.

 

Under the Brazilian Corporate Law, holders of preferred shares representing at least 10% of Cemig’s share capital, and also holders of common shares representing at least 15% of its share capital (other than the controlling shareholder) have the right to appoint a member of the Board of Directors and his or her respective substitute member in a separate election. If none of the holders of common or preferred shares qualifies under the minimum limits specified above, shareholders representing, in the aggregate, a minimum of 10% of the share capital may combine their holdings to elect a member of the Board of Directors, and that member’s substitute member.

 

Under Article 171 of the Corporate Law, every shareholder has a generic right of first refusal in subscription of new shares, or securities convertible into shares, issued in any capital increase, in proportion to their percentage shareholding, except in the event of exercise of any option to acquire shares in our share capital. Shareholders are required to exercise their right of first refusal within 30 days from publication of the notice of increase of capital.

 

The dividend rights of the preferred and common shares are described below.

 

  f) Dividends

 

Under the by-laws, if the Company is able to pay dividends higher than the mandatory minimum dividends required for the preferred Shareholders, and the remaining net income is sufficient to offer equal dividends for both the common and preferred shares, then the dividends per share will be the same for the holders of common shares and preferred shares. Dividends declared are paid in two equal installments, the first by June 30 and the second by December 30, of the year following the generation of the profit to which they refer. The Executive Board decides the location and processes of payment, subject to these periods.

 

Under its by-laws, Cemig is required to pay to its shareholders, as mandatory dividends, 50% of the net income of each year.

 

The preferred shares have preference in the event of reimbursement of capital and participate in profits on the same conditions as the common shares have the right, when there is net income, to a minimum annual dividends equal to the greater of:

 

(a) 10% of their par value, and

(b) 3% of the portion of equity that they represent.

 

Under its by-laws, Cemig’s shares held by private individuals and issued up to August 5, 2004 have the right to a minimum dividend of 6% per year on their par value in all years when Cemig does not obtain sufficient profits to pay dividends to its Shareholders. This guarantee is given by the State of Minas Gerais by Article 9 of State Law 828 of December 14, 1951 and by State Law 15,290 of August 4, 2004.
