PUBLICLY-HELD COMPANY
Centrais Elétricas Brasileiras S/A ("Company" or "Eletrobras") (B3: ELET3, ELET5 & ELET6; NYSE: EBR & EBR. B; LATIBEX: XELT. The & XELT. B) hereby informs its shareholders and the market in general that completed the reduction in its portfolio of 6 Special Purpose Entities ("SPEs").
On July 17, 2023, Eletrobras closed the activities of SPE Geradora Eólica Ventos de Angelim S.A. Subsequently, on July 28, 2023, the Company met all the necessary conditions to complete the sale of 100% of the capital of SPE Livramento Holding S.A. (“Livramento Holding”) and its 4 SPEs (Eólica Cerro Chato IV S.A., Eólica Cerro Chato V S.A., Eólica Cerro Chato VI S.A. and Eólica Cerro dos Trindade S.A.). The transaction only involves the assumption of assets and liabilities by the buyer, without input of resources or burden for Eletrobras.
It is worth noting that, in order to carry out the aforementioned transaction, Livramento Holding underwent a corporate restructuring that culminated in the spin-off of SPE Eólica Ibirapuitã S.A. of its structure. This SPE is operational and will remain in Eletrobras' portfolio. The transaction had a positive impact on the 2QR2023 result of R$ 58.8 million (net).
These moves are part of Eletrobras' 2023-2027 Strategic Plan, seeking to optimize costs, simplify the corporate structure and rationalize the asset portfolio.
The Company remains, therefore, with interests in 68 SPEs, concentrated in 34 economic groups.
