(1)On March 31, 2021, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Cemig Soluções Inteligentes em Energia S.A. (Cemig Sim), the Company acquired 49% of the specialized generation company UFV Brasilândia Geração de Energia Elétrica Distribuída S.A. (‘Brasilândia’), which operates in photovoltaic solar generation for the distributed generation market, with installed capacity of 7.35 MWp, for R$12, achieving a fair value gain of R$2.
(2)On December 31, 2021 and 2020, the investee has negative net equity. Thus, after reducing the accounting value of its interest to zero, the Company recognized the provision for losses to the extent of its obligations, in the amount of R$21 (R$30 on December 31, 2020), resulting from contractual obligations assumed with the jointly controlled entity and the other shareholders. The loss is recorded in the balance sheet in Other obligations. Additionally, on December 1, 2021, Cemig GT injected capital into UHE Itaocara S.A., to assist in compliance with the final Arbitration Ruling against the investee, given by the FGV in its Mediation and Arbitration Chamber, in the amount of R$40. This amount is proportional to its shareholding interest in the investee. Further, R$1,359 was injected to cover the expenses specified in the 2021 budget of the investee.
(3)A loss was recognized to the extent that the Company has incurred obligations on behalf of the investee and the other shareholders. On December 31, 2021 this amount was R$162. See further information in this note.

 

The Company’s investees that are not consolidated are jointly controlled entities, with the exception of the interests in the affiliates Madeira Energia (Santo Antônio power plant), Ativas Data Center and Light, the latter was classified as an asset held for sale at December, 31, 2020, and its sale was completed on January 22, 2021. See Note 32 for more information.

 

On December 31, 2021, management considered that there was some indication, due to the economic shock of the Covid-19 pandemic (Note 1c), of potential decline in value of assets, as referred to in IAS 36– Impairments of Assets. As a result of the analyzes, the Company concluded that the pandemic’s effects on the economic context and the long term expectation of realization of the assets underwent no significant change. Thus, the reported assets net carrying amount is recoverable, and therefore the Company has not recognized any impairment loss related to its investments, except for the investment held in Mesa, as disclosed in more detail in this Note.

 

Additionally, in relation to the above, the Company’s management has assessed the risk threatening all its investments ability to continue as a going concern, taking substantially into consideration: the economic-financial clauses of Cemig D and Gasmig; the guarantee of revenues of the transmission companies; the protection against force majeure reduction in regulated generation contracts; and all the legal measures that have been applied by the federal government and by Aneel — and has concluded that the Company and its subsidiaries’ ability to continue as going concern is secure.

 

a)Right to exploitation of the regulated activity

 

In the process of allocating the purchase price for of the acquisition of the jointly controlled subsidiaries and affiliates, a valuation was made for the intangible assets relating to the right to operate the infrastructure. These assets are presented together with the acquisition cost of the investments in the previous table. These assets will be amortized over the remaining period of the concessions on a straight-line basis.

 

The rights of authorization to generate wind energy granted to Parajuru and Volta do Rio, valued at R$49 (R$54 on December 31, 2020) and R$67 (R$74 on December 31, 2020), respectively, are classified in the financial statements of the Company under Intangibles. These concession assets are amortized by the straight-line method, during the period of the concession. For further information see note 18.

Madeira Energia S.A. (‘MESA’) and FIP Melbourne (special purpose vehicle through which Cemig GT helds interests in ‘SAAG’)

 

Santo Antônio Energia S.A (‘SAESA’) is a wholy-owned subsidiary of MESA, SAESA’s, whose objects are operation and maintenance of the Santo Antônio Hydroelectric Plant and its transmission system, for 35 years from its signature, on June 13, 2008. The Santo Antônio Hydroelectric Plant began commercial operation with its first generating unit in 2012, and reached full generation in December 2016. Between the shareholders include Furnas, Odebrecht Energia, SAAG and the Company.

 

On December 31, 2021 MESA reported a negative net working capital, which was compounded by the arbitration decision effects described in the following topics. 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 capital structure and liquidity, in addition to the measures described below, related to the arbitral decision effects, MESA has been adopting some actions aimed at reducing the operational expenditure, protecting the exposure to hydrological risks, optimizing the capital structure and managing the energy operations. 

 

Arbitration proceeding 115/2018 – Madeira Energia S.A.

 

In 2018 SAAG and Cemig GT filed Arbitration Proceeding 115/2018, seeking to annul the capital increase, approved by MESA Extraordinary General Meeting held on August 28, 2018, through capitalization of the credits arising from the annulment of the capital increase made in 2014 , which had been annulled in a previous arbitration proceeding.

 

On December 13, 2021 was released the arbitration decision annulling the capital increase part of the arbitration procedding, as well as on March 16, 2022, the Market Arbitration Chamber published a decision on a motion for clarification, in which was determined the revert of the increase of capital made by the shareholders in this investee.

 

As a consequence of the arbitration decision, Cemig GT’s direct and indirect equity holding in Mesa is increased from 8.54% to 9.86%, and 6.97% to 8.05%, respectively, resulting in a consolidated ownership increase from 15.51% to 17.91%.

 

On April 29, 2022, MESA informed that the shareholder Furnas Centrais Elétricas S.A., which is also a party in the arbitration process, notified MESA that, on April 28, 2022, a preliminary injunction in their legal action was granted, for the immediate suspension of the CAM 115/2018 arbitration decision, in order to maintain the equity interest held before its effects. According to MESA’s legal advisors, the aforementioned suspension is not definitive and they assessed the probability of loss as probable, therefore, the investee maintained the provision for capital reduction in its quarterly financial information for the period ended on March 31, 2022. 

 

Since the legal action in which the preliminary injunction was granted is currently in the initial stages, the Company, based on the opinion of its legal advisors, believes that a modification on the arbitration decision effects is remote. 

 

Arbitration proceeding 21,511/ASM/JPA (c. 21,673/ASM) – Santo Antônio Energia S.A.

 

On January 31, 2022, was released the arbitration decision on arbitration proceeding in CCI (International Chamber of Commerce) Nº 21,511/ASM/JPA (c. 21,673/ASM), which consolidated the matters between Santo Antônio Energia S.A. (SAESA), Consórcio Construtor Santo Antônio (CCSA) and other parties, relating, in summary, to the following issues:

 

i.       Liability of CCSA for reimbursement of the costs of replenishing the collateral, and use of the contractual limitation clause, specified in contract.

ii.       Liability of SAESA relating to the increase in costs incurred by CCSA arising, mainly, from strikes and work stoppages occured from 2009 to 2013.

 

The result of this arbitration, made available by the International Arbitration Court of the International Chamber of Commerce on February 7, 2022, indicates that part of the claims of Saesa were accepted, as well as some of the claims of CCSA and where applicable of its co-consortium members against SAESA. Also, the arbitration decision initially declared as being without effect the instrument entitled “Terms and Conditions”, which was the basis for recognition by the Company of the “Reimbursable Expenditures”, as set out in an explanatory note to the financial statements of Saesa.

 

As well as the granted CCSA claims, with which Saesa vehemently disagrees, that have already been provisioned in SAESA financial statements as “Guarantee Deposits” (R$770) and “Other Provisions” (R$492), other claims were also granted with an estimated additional value of R$226 payable.

 

Under the financing contracts signed with the National Bank for Economic and Social Development (‘BNDES’) and financing contracts under on lending from the BNDES, any amounts that SAESA is ordered to pay will be paid in accordance with procedures determined in the respective contracts.

 

On March 9, 2022, SAESA filed a motion for clarification on certain matters of the final decision, including pecuniary aspects, and believes that only after evaluation of this claim and any other motions for clarification that may be requested by the other parties involved, the decision will become definitive and able to produce effects, with effective decision on any amounts that may eventually be payable by SAESA.

 

On April 11, 2022, SAESA requested, by means of a “exception of pre-execution” the extinction of a lawsuit filed by ‘Grupo Industrial Complexo Rio Madeira’ (GICOM), a CCSA member, for a partial execution of the arbitration decision, in the amount of R$645. In summary, GICOM believed that the decision released in the arbitration procedure would be final and enforceable. On April 17, 2022, a court decision was rendered in the lawsuit for partial execution of the arbitration decision, receiving the exception of pre-execution presented by SAESA and granting suspensive effect to interrupt the period for the executed debts payment until the Arbitral Court considers the motions for clarification or the exception of pre-execution is judged, whichever occurs first.

 

On April 29, 2022, the MESA Extraordinary General Meeting approved a capital increase until R$1.582, to be made in order to capitalize SAE. Cemig GT relinquished the right to subscribe the investee’s shares and will not make the contribution referring to its equity holding.

 

SAESA also reiterated that the arbitration proceedings are in progress, still treated with confidentiality.

 

Investment in Madeira Energia S.A.

 

The arbitration decision against the claims of SAE, is an event after the reporting period of these financial statements, with an adjusting effect and reflects the preliminary results of the arbitration decision, since it is about conditions that existed on December 31, 2021, as per the provisions of IAS 10 –Events After the Reporting Period.

 

As a result of the above mentioned arbitration decisions, the Company recognized a impairment of R$367, which results in reduction of the investment carrying amount to zero and, in accordance with IAS 28 – Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, has constituted a liability of R$162 for the obligations assumed on behalf of investee in equity support and guarantee agreements.

 

The liability was estimated applying of the Company’s direct percentage shareholding in Mesa, currently 9.86%, applied to the expected cash outflow to settle the debt arising from the arbitration judgment. Considering that there are specific circumstances established in shareholders’ agreements, and in the share purchase agreement of SAAG, and in the guarantees themselves provided by SAAG to Saesa, the Company believes that it does not have a responsibility in relation to its indirect shareholding in Mesa, currently of 8.05%, since it did not assume the obligations which were contracted by SAAG to Saesa before it entered the business; therefore, the other shareholder, the former holder of 100% of the equity (AG Participações), remains as guarantor of all the related obligations to that investee.

 

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, 2021 NESA presents negative net working capital of R$189 (R$160 on December 31, 2020), 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.

 

The Company evaluated the recoverability amount of its investment in NESA, based on its value in use, in accordance with IAS 36 – Impairment of Assets, and IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement, and has concluded that the recoverable amount of the investment is higher than its carrying amout at December 31, 2021.

 

On September, 2015, NESA was awarded a preliminary injunction ordering the grantor 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 grantor (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$2,832 (R$2,407 on December 31, 2020).

 

d)Shareholding restructuring of the wholly-owned transmission - Centroeste

 

On November 24, 2021, the Extraordinary General Meeting of the wholly-owned subsidiary Cemig GT approved an increase in the share capital of Cemig GT, by subscription of the investment held by the Company in Centroeste, thus completing the shareholding restructuring authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors on February 12, 2021. Because it involved entities under common control, this restructuring is outside the scope of IFRS 3.

 

This transfer, which had the prior consent of Aneel, was recorded in amount of R$124, supported with valation report measured at book value on October 31, 2021.

 

e)Acquisition of Sete Lagoas Transmissora de Energia S.A. (‘SLTE‘) - Business combination

 

On December 23, 2021, Cemig completed the acquisition of 100% of the shares in SLTE, under a share purchase agreement signed on July 27, 2021 with Cobra Brasil Serviços, Comunicações e Energia S.A. and Cobra Instalaciones Y Servicios S.A.  

 

The Sete Lagoas 4 substation began operating in June 2014, and accesses the National Grid through switching from the Neves 1–Três Marias 345kW Transmission Line (345 kV), owned by Cemig GT, which already operates the related terminals at this substation.  

 

The consideration transferred included (i) an amount of R$48 paid in cash, and (ii) a escrow account, of R$1, which is retained due to environmental issues pending resolution by SLTE. The amount retained will be transferred to Cobra if this issue is resolved on favorable terms to SLTE within 24 months, with Cemig having the right to indemnity for any losses that exceed this amount. 

 

The Company applied the acquisition method to account the business combination and measured, provisionally, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at their respective acquisition-date fair value, in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 3. During the measurement period, the Company may retrospectively adjust the provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date, to reflect any new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized. The measurement period is the period subsequent to the acquisition date during which the provisional amounts recognized for a business combination may be adjusted. It is limited to one year from the acquisition date.

 

Estimated fair value of net assets acquired

 

The preliminary fair value of net assets acquired at the acquisition date is as follows:

 

   SLTE
Book value of the investee    58 
Negative difference between fair value and equity value    (5)
Estimaged fair of net assets acquried   53 
Bargain purchase, recognized in 2021 profit   (4)
Cash consideration paid for 100% of the equity of SLTE   49 

 

 

 

The 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   15   Current   3 
  Cash and cash equivalents   7    Loans and financings   2 
  Contract assets (1)   7    Other current liabilities   1 
  Other current assets   1   Non-current   35 
Non-current   76    Loans and financings   11 
  Contract assets   73   Deferred tax liabilities   16 
  Other non-current assets   3   Taxes   8 
         Fair value of net identifiable assets   53 

 

(1)Considering that the concession contract is identifiable and may be measured in objective and reliable terms, the negative difference between fair value and the carrying amount was recognized in the subgroup ‘Contractual assets’ in the consolidated financial statements, and was considered as part of the investment in the individual financial statements. The (negative) added value is amortized over the period of the concession.

 

The assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, and their results, are presented in operating transmission segment.

 

f)Risks related to compliance with laws 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 Buona 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 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’)

 

There are ongoing investigation and other legal measures 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.

 

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, since 2017 Renova, whose equity interest held by Cemig GT was classified in Non-current assets held for sale in 2021, is part of an investigation conducted by the Civil Police of Minas Gerais State and other public authorities related to certain injections of capital made by the controlling shareholders, including the Company and its subsidiary Cemig GT, and injections made in prior years by Renova in certain projects under development.

 

The police investigations of the inquiries referred to as operation “E o vento levou” and of the Minas Gerais Civil Police have not yet been completed, but no results are expected from these investigations with effects that could significantly impact the Company’s financial statements, even if there may be any which were not recorded by Renova, since no contractual or constructive obligations to the investee were assumed either by the Company nor by any of its subsidiaries.

 

Considering the share purchase agreement signed for disposal of the investment held in Renova, as reported in Note 32 to these financial statements, no effects are expected after the conclusion of the sale transaction, considering that the share purchase instrument does not specify any right of indemnity against Cemig GT in relation to any act, fact, event, action or omission which took place before and/or after the date of its signature, except to the extent that they may constitute a violation or inexactitude of any of the declarations or warranties given by Cemig GT. In the contract, the parties expressly recognized the “no claims” nature of the transaction.

 

Internal procedures for risks related to compliance with law and regulations

 

Taking into account the investigations that are being conducted by public authorities relating to the Company and to certain investees, the governance bodies of the Company have authorized contracting third-party investigator to analyze the internal procedures related to these investments, as well as internal proceedings related to the acquisition of Light’s interest in Enlighted (see Note 25 of the Financial Statements). This independent investigation was subject to oversight of an independent Special 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, and identified no objective evidence substantiating illegal acts made by Company in the Company’s investments that were the subjects of the investigation. Therefore, there was no impact in the Company consolidated financial statements, neither for the year ended in December 31, 2021 and 2020 nor for prior periods. 

 

In the second half of 2019, Company signed tolling agreements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and US Department of Justice (DOJ), which were extended until August, 2021, and on July 2021, respectively.
