CLAUSE THREE: RETENTION OF DIVIDENDS AND INTEREST ON EQUITY

 

For payment of the DEBIT, in accordance with Clause Two, the Parties recognize that the STATE:

 

a)      currently has a stockholding of 22.23% (twenty two point two three per cent) in CEMIG which, based on distribution of 50% (fifty per cent) of the net profit as dividends or Interest on Equity and retention of the percentage specified in Paragraph Two, sub-clause “a” below, corresponds, on today’s date, to a percentage of 7.23% (seven point two three per cent) on net profit; and

 

b)      intends to use the amounts arising from the flow of dividends or Interest on Equity to which it is entitled as a stockholder of CEMIG, taking into account the New Dividend Policy and the changes to the Bylaws of CEMIG, to guarantee the payment of the Installments and of the balance of the

 

33



 

DEBIT.

 

Paragraph One: By means of this Amendment, and for the full purposes of law, the STATE hereby irrevocably authorizes CEMIG to retain amounts from the STATE’s entitlement to dividends and/or Interest on Equity receivable from CEMIG for the payment of the Installments and the balance of the DEBIT, plus the interest owed and duly adjusted, subject to the provisions of this instrument.

 

Paragraph Two: Of the distribution, as ordinary dividends and Interest on Equity, of 50% (fifty per cent) of net profit, CEMIG shall, unless otherwise provided for in this instrument, proceed as follows:

 

a)      CEMIG shall retain 65% (sixty five per cent) of the total of the ordinary dividends and Interest on Equity to which the STATE is entitled (hereinafter “the Amount Retained”) and apply the entire Amount Retained as follows:

 

a.1) for settlement of any Installment past due and not fully paid, in order of the past chronological order of due dates;

 

a.2) for settlement of the Installment relating to the half-year in which the ordinary distribution of earnings or Interest on Equity takes place;

 

a.3) for anticipated settlement of up to a maximum of 2 (two) Installments, being those immediately subsequent to the half-year in which the ordinary distribution of earnings or Interest on Equity takes place, subject to the provisions of Clause Four; and

 

a.4) for the amortization of the balance of the DEBIT, augmented by the interest due and duly adjusted, without there being any change to the amount or due date of the Installments yet to become due, or subsequent ones, which shall continue to be owed in accordance with the terms of Clause Two, subject to the terms of item a.3 above.

 

b) CEMIG shall pay to the STATE the remaining 35% (thirty five per cent) of the amount of the ordinary dividends and Interest on Equity.

 

Paragraph Three: Without prejudice to the retention of the Amount Retained under Paragraph Two, if the retention of the ordinary dividends and Interest on Equity is insufficient to settle the respective Installment, CEMIG shall proceed to retain, starting on January 1, 2008, up to 65% (sixty five per cent) of all and any amount of extraordinary dividends or Interest on Equity to which the STATE may be entitled, for the settlement of any Installment, up to the amount necessary for its settlement, after due monetary correction.

 

Paragraph Four: If the retention of the ordinary and extraordinary dividends and/or Interest on Equity in the manner specified in Paragraphs Two and Three above is insufficient for total settlement of any Installment, CEMIG shall proceed automatically to retain the totality of all and any dividends and Interest on Equity, ordinary or extraordinary (including the percentage specified in Paragraph Two, sub-clause “b”), to which the STATE is entitled, starting from the six-month period immediately following that of the Installment which is past due and has not been fully settled, up to the full settlement of such Installment, duly adjusted in monetary terms, and the interest due on any debtor balance shall be added to the total of the DEBIT.

 

34



 

Paragraph Five: Without prejudice to the retention of the Amount Retained, in accordance with the Paragraphs above and any other provision hereof, and provided that default has not yet been characterized under Clause Seven, after the settlement of all the Installments that are past due and have not been fully settled, the retention specified in Paragraphs Three and Four shall be immediately suspended, and shall again be applied only to the 65% (sixty five per cent) of the ordinary dividends and Interest on Equity, in accordance with Paragraph Two, sub-clause “a”.

 

Paragraph Six: If there is a reduction in the share held by the STATE in the registered capital of CEMIG and, as a result, in the ordinary dividends and/or Interest on Equity to be paid by CEMIG to the STATE, the percentage defined in Paragraph Two, sub-clause “a” shall automatically be adjusted upward (with the corresponding reduction of the percentage specified in Paragraph Two, sub-clause “b”), in such a way that the “Amount Retained” shall correspond at all times to at least 7.23% (seven point two three per cent) of the net profit of CEMIG.

 

Paragraph Seven: If CEMIG assigns the credits made up of the Installments payable by the STATE, which may also be an assignment to one or more Credit Receivables Investment Funds, provided that all the terms and conditions of this instrument are preserved, the STATE hereby authorizes CEMIG to make the payment of the Installments, in the proportion of the credit assigned, directly to the assignee, with amounts retained in accordance with this Clause Three.

 

CLAUSE FOUR: EARLY AMORTIZATION AND OTHER AMORTIZATIONS

 

The Parties agree that early amortization of an Installment or Installments may only take place in the following events and provided there is no Installment which is past due and has not been fully settled:

 

a)     the STATE may effect early amortization of up to a maximum of 2 (two) Installments, by application of the balance of the Amount Retained in excess of the amount of the Installments that are past due, as specified in Paragraph Two, sub-clause “a.3”, of Clause Three, provided the number of installments thus amortized early does not exceed, at any time, a total of 2 (two) Installments; or

 

b)    the STATE may carry out early amortization of up to a maximum of 3 (three) Installments, with its own funds, not arising from the retention of ordinary or extraordinary dividends and/or Interest on Equity, provided that the number of Installments thus amortized early does not exceed at any time a total of 3 (three) Installments.

 

Sole paragraph: In the event that CEMIG carries out any amortization, redemption or repurchase of shares, any reduction of capital or any other transaction which results in distribution or payment to stockholders, other than distribution of dividends or payment of Interest on Equity, the totality of the amounts to which the STATE is entitled shall be wholly and automatically used in the amortization of the balance of the DEBIT, in the manner specified in Clause Three, Paragraph Two, sub-clauses “a.1”, “a.2”, “a.3” and “a.4”, subject also to the provisions of sub-clause “b” of this Clause.

 

CLAUSE FIVE: COMPLIANCE WITH THE STRATEGIC PLAN AND THE CONTRACT

 

35



 

For the purposes of ensuring the total payment of the DEBIT to CEMIG, under the terms of this Amendment, and as part of its obligations hereunder, the STATE undertakes, subject to the legislation in force, to exercise its power of control in CEMIG in such a way as to:

 

a)      propose the maintenance of, and maintain, in the bylaws of the wholly-owned subsidiaries of Cemig, the distribution and payment to CEMIG, as dividends and/or Interest on Equity, of the total of the net profit made by the said subsidiaries, after the retention of the amounts allocated to the legal reserves and to the capital expenditure approved under the Strategic Plan, subject to the availability of free cash in the respective subsidiary;

 

b)      to propose the maintenance of, and to maintain, in the Bylaws of CEMIG, (i) the distribution and payment of 50% (fifty per cent) of net profit, as dividends or Interest on Equity, in 2 (two) six-monthly parts, the first by June 30 and the second by December 31, or each year; and (ii) the provisions in relation to the management of CEMIG contained in Clause 11 of the Bylaws, with the drafting approved by the Extraordinary General Meeting of Stockholders begun on December 30, 2005 and completed on January 12, 2006.

 

c)      to submit to prior approval by the Board of Directors of CEMIG and, subsequently, to approval by the General Meeting of Stockholders of CEMIG, any alteration to the CONTRACT, as amended by the present Amendment;

 

Paragraph One: The Parties recognize that the renegotiation of the DEBIT in the form of this Amendment took into account the Strategic Plan and the New Dividend Policy therein specified, and also the establishment of targets for the management of CEMIG, in accordance with the provisions of the bylaws referred to in sub-clause “b” of the head paragraph of this Clause. In this respect, and as long as the State has fulfilled its commitments specified in this Clause Five, if an extraordinary event occurs that is unpredictable and beyond the control of the Parties, and results in reduction of the profit of CEMIG and consequent reduction of the payment of dividends and Interest on Equity, in such a way that 100% (one hundred per cent) of the retention by CEMIG of the ordinary and/or extraordinary dividends and interest on equity which are payable to the STATE, in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph Four of Clause Three, is insufficient for the full payment of the Installments, the Parties, in a spirit of mutual cooperation and in obedience to the final period for settlement of the DEBIT and the financial charges originally agreed, hereby agree to negotiate in good faith the rescheduling of the Installments affected by the respective events, taking into account the Strategic Plan. When the existence of the circumstances referred to in this Paragraph One has been characterized, unless the parties reach an agreement about the rescheduling of the Installments affected, all the provisions hereof shall remain valid and in full effect (including the retention of all the dividends and interest on equity payable to the State), except that the number of Installments provided for in the head paragraph of Clause Six and in sub-clause “b” of Clause Seven shall be, for the specific purposes of such an eventuality, and without the possibility of accumulation (even if a new event occurs), augmented by 1 (one) Installment, increasing to 4 (four) and 6 (six) Installments, respectively.

 

Paragraph Two: The provisions relating to the management of CEMIG contained in the bylaws referred to in sub-clause (b), sub-item (ii), of this Clause Five, which aim to ensure compliance with the guidelines and targets necessary for adequate generation of the profits of CEMIG and the payment of the DEBIT in the form specified in this Amendment, shall not be changed, other than in an extraordinary situation arising from a future situation in the economy which clearly justifies and calls for alteration of any of these provisions, as and when such situation is identified by the Board of Directors of CEMIG in terms

 

36



 

of this Paragraph Two and provided that the alteration of any of these provisions, in such a situation, (i) is limited to what is strictly necessary for adaptation to the new situation, (ii) maintains and makes possible maintenance of the projections of CEMIG’s profits in such a way as to ensure the conditions for the full payment of the DEBIT by the STATE in the manner specified in this Amendment, (iii) obeys the principles that support the renegotiation of the DEBIT in the form of this Amendment and, cumulatively, (iv) is approved by the Board of Directors of CEMIG, after hearing of the opinions of an independent audit, and also of CEMIG’s independent auditors, as a condition for submission of the change to the general meeting of stockholders of CEMIG.

 

CLAUSE SIX — INCREASE IN THE INTEREST RATE

 

In the event that the STATE does not pay on time and in full 3 (three) successive Installments, whether or not there has been retention of the totality of all or any ordinary and extraordinary dividends and/or Interest on Equity due to the STATE under Paragraph Four of Clause Three, or if its default becomes characterized under Clause Seven, the interest rate applicable to the balance of the DEBIT shall be changed, automatically, to 0.797414 per month, corresponding to an effective rate of 10% (ten per cent) per year, in replacement of the interest rate specified in sub-clause “c” of the head paragraph of Clause Two.

 

Sole paragraph: The increase in the interest rate shall be in effect as from the first day of the six-month period following the six-month period to which the third Installment not fully paid refers and may be reduced again to the interest rate specified in sub-clause “c” of the head paragraph of Clause Two (without prejudice to the amount of interest accumulated at the higher rate in the period in which it is in effect) if the STATE settles all and any Installment that is past due and unpaid in full before its default has been characterized in accordance with Clause Seven.

 

CLAUSE SEVEN: DEFAULT

 

Any of the following events shall characterize default by the STATE, independently of any advice or notification:

 

a)      if the STATE at its initiative and without being obliged to comply with any new rule of federal legislation (i) allows the reduction of the distribution and payment to CEMIG of dividends or interest on equity of the wholly-owned subsidiaries of CEMIG, as specified by sub-clause “a” of Clause Five, (ii) reduces the distribution and payment of 50% (fifty per cent) of the net profit of CEMIG as dividends and Interest on Equity, or (iii) ceases to obey the provisions of Paragraph Two of Clause Five in relation to the commitment and matters specified in sub-clause “b”, item (ii) of Clause Five;

 

b)      if the STATE ceases to make the payments in timely fashion and in full of 5 (five) consecutive Installments, independently of whether or not either of the following has occurred: (i) retention of the totality of all and any ordinary or extraordinary dividends payable to the STATE, in accordance with Paragraph Four of Clause Three; or (ii) increase in the interest rate according to Clause Six; or

 

37

d) the STATE fails to comply with the provisions of Clause Five, sub-clause “c”, or in any way prevents CEMIG from making the retentions specified in Clause Three or in the Sole Paragraph of Clause Four.

 

CLAUSE EIGHT: MEASURES IN THE EVENT OF DEFAULT; EARLY MATURITY; CHANGE IN FINANCIAL CHARGES

 

In the event that the STATE defaults, under Clause Seven, independently of whether CEMIG takes any steps at any time, the following shall be obeyed, without prejudice to any other right of or action by CEMIG:

b)    in substitution of the remunerative interest rate specified in Clause Six, arrears interest of 0.948879% per month shall automatically come into effect, corresponding to an effective rate of 12% (twelve per cent) per year, starting from the date of characterization of the default;

 

c)     CEMIG shall continue to retain the Amount Retained, and also the totality of all and any ordinary or extraordinary dividends or Interest on Equity, or other amounts resulting from amortization, redemption or repurchase of debentures, shares or reduction of capital payable to the STATE, until the full payment of the totality of the DEBIT, augmented by the interest payable, and duly corrected in monetary terms. The retention shall not under any circumstances cover amounts relating to revenues of the STATE of a tax nature;

 

d)    CEMIG may declare early maturity of the totality of the DEBIT, augmented by the interest payable, duly updated in monetary terms, and also demand, charge and collect from the STATE, through the courts or otherwise, the amounts payable by the STATE, including the total of the debtor balance.

The CONTRACT shall be valid until June 30, 2035, and may be settled early, if the value of the Amounts Retained which exceed the amount of the respective Installments, plus any other amount which becomes payable to CEMIG under this instrument, have been sufficient for the early settlement of the

 

38



 

balance of the DEBIT, plus the interest payable and due monetary correction.

Paragraph Two: If for any reason the CONTRACT is terminated or extinguished without the debtor balance owed by the STATE having been settled in full, for as long as the settlement of the debtor balance, including the interest due and monetary correction, is not renegotiated between the Parties, CEMIG shall retain the totality of the ordinary or extraordinary dividends and/or Interest on Equity payable to the STATE, independently of notice or any other measure.

 

Paragraph Three: If the STATE decides to dispose of shares that represent the control of CEMIG, it must include in the respective public offer, or equivalent, and in all the other instruments of disposal, a Clause which obliges the acquiring Party to settle, at sight, the balance of the DEBIT, augmented by the due interest and duly corrected in monetary terms, as a condition for the acquiring Party to acquire control, and in this event the balance of the DEBIT shall be considered to have matured early, without requirement for any advice or notice.

EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

POSTPONEMENT OF THE MEETING

 

We hereby inform stockholders of CEMIG that the Extraordinary General Meeting of Stockholders called for December 23, 2005 at 10 a.m. has been postponed to December 30, 2005, at 10 a.m., at the order of the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM — Comissão de Valores Mobiliários), by its formal notice “Ofício/CVM/SEP/GEA-3/N°623/05”, of December 22, 2005. The meeting will take place at the same location, the Company’s head office, at Av.

Any stockholder who wishes to be represented by proxy in this General Meeting should obey the terms of Article 126 of Law 6406/76, as amended, and the sole paragraph ofArticle 9 of the Company’s By-laws, by depositing, preferably by 28 December 2005, proofs of ownership of the shares, issued by a depositary financial institution, and a power of attorney with special powers, at the management office of the General Secretariat of the Company at Av. Barbacena 1,200 — 19th floor, B1 wing, Belo Horizonte, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, or by showing the said proofs of ownership at the time of the meeting.

 

Belo Horizonte, December 22, 2005.

Wilson Nélio Brumer

Chairman of the Board of Directors

 

Before the agenda of this Meeting was placed in debate and put to the vote, the representative of the stockholder Southern Electric Brasil Participações Ltda. highlighted that the changes in the bylaws made by the Extraordinary General Meeting ofOctober 25, 1999, and also the subsequent changes, were approved only in view of the suspension of the Stockholders’ Agreement, by the Judiciary, and were, thus, provisional and precarious. He said that, thus, the acts and operations practiced or submitted to the approval of the corporate bodies of Cemig, supported by such changes in the bylaws made under the protection of the Court decision currently in force can, at any moment, be revised and withdrawn from the world of law.

 

On this issue, the representative of the stockholder State of Minas Gerais told the meeting that the decision which annulled the Stockholders’ Agreement signed between the State of Minas Gerais and Southern Electric Brasil Participações Ltda. no longer has an interim or provisional character — that being a decision on the merits it thus does

 

45



 

not deal with suspension, but with annulment. He added that there already existed a decision on the merit which annuls the Stockholders’ Agreement confirmed by the Appeal Court of the State of Minas Gerais. He further stated that the decisions of this Board may only take into consideration what exists in present day reality, and it would be irresponsible not to vote on matters which are awaiting Court decisions, since, in reality, the said Stockholders’ Agreement, by reason of a Court judgment, is not able to produce any effect and the decisions taken are being taken within strict compliance with the Court judgment. Finalizing, he noted that the Extraordinary and Special Appeals filed by Southern were not admitted for hearing by the Vice-Chairman of the Minas Gerais Appeal Court, and that, more recently, the Higher Appeal Court denied the Interlocutory and Special Appeals filed by Southern, reinforcing the legal situation already declared by the Minas Gerais Appeal Court, that is to say the inefficacy of the Stockholders’ Agreement which is the subject of the action.

 

Subsequently, the Chairman requested the Secretary to proceed to the reading of the proposal of the Board of Directors, which deals with the Agenda, the content of which is as follows:

 

PROPOSAL BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO THE

EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

 

Dear Sirs:

 

Whereas —

 

a)     the provisions of Law 8631 of March 4, 1993, as amended by Law 8727 of November 5, 1993, especially the provisions of Article 5, § 4, authorize States, theFederal District and Municipalities, upon agreement with the electricity public service concessions of which they have stockholding control, to use the remaining balances on the CRC (Results Compensation) Account, after the offsettings provided for by § 3 of the said Law, for the purposes of offsetting of the debts of those entities to the federal government;

 

b)    on May 31, 1995, in accordance with the above-mentioned legislation, Cemig and the State of Minas Gerais signed an agreement for assignment of the credit of the outstanding balance of the CRC account (“the CRC Contract”), under which Cemig assigned to the State of Minas Gerais the outstanding balance of the credits on the then-abolished CRC accounts received from the federal government, in the amount of 852,851,282.9305 Fiscal Reference Units (UFIRs), corresponding, on the date of the assignment, to R$ 602,198,290.88 (six hundred and two million, one hundred and ninety eight thousand, two hundred and ninety Reais and eighty eight cents), which was to be amortized by the State of Minas Gerais in 204 (two hundred and four) monthly consecutive installments, updated by the value of the UFIR and remunerated at annual interest of 6% (six per cent) subject to an initial grace period of 36 (thirty six) months, guaranteed by the resources of the States’ Participation Fund (FPE);

 

c)     on February 24, 2001, the First Amendment to the CRC Contract was signed, to change the monetary adjustment indexor of the debtor balance, from UFIRs to the Special Expanded National Consumer Price Index (IPCA-E), in the months of January to October of 2000, and to the IGP-DI (General Price Index — Domestic

 

46



 

Availability) published by the Getúlio Vargas Foundation, in the months of November and December of 2000;

 

d)    on December 14, 2002 the Second Amendment to the CRC Contract was signed, to reschedule the installments becoming due as from January 1, 2003 and to establish the IGP-DI as the monetary correction index, with the possibility of the said credit being passed on by Cemig to the federal government or to the National Development Bank (BNDES), which in fact did not happen;

 

e)     on December 24, 2002, the Third Amendment to the CRC Contract was signed, to reschedule and re-agree the installments overdue and not paid, calculated on December 31, 2002, including interest and financial penalty payments on the installments in arrears, with interest of 12% (twelve per cent) per year and monetary adjustment by the variation of the IGP-DI, to be paid in 149 (one hundred and forty nine) monthly consecutive installments, from January 2003 to May 2015, with retention of dividends and/or Interest on Equity payable to the State of Minas Gerais allocated as collateral;

 

f)     there is legislative authorization for the State of Minas Gerais to give in guarantee, with or without the respective retention, its dividends or Interest on Equity receivable from Cemig, under State Law 14247 of June 4, 2002, as amended by State Law 14384 of October 11, 2002;

 

g)    on December 31, 2004, the debtor balance on the CRC Contract, accounted by Cemig, was R$ 2,941,599,110.03 (two billion, nine hundred and forty one million, five hundred and ninety nine thousand, one hundred and ten Reais and three centavos), albeit of this total amount the State of Minas Gerais challenges the amount of R$ 115,670,291.40 (one hundred and fifteen million, six hundred and seventy thousand, two hundred and ninety one Reais and forty centavos), the dispute to be settled within 90 (ninety) days after the date of signature of the Amendment, through an accounting audit, in accordance with an express Clause inserted in the respective instrument;

 

h)    there is a need to regularize the payment of the installments owed by the State of Minas Gerais to Cemig, and the Parties are interested in guaranteeing the payment of the total of the debit of the State of Minas Gerais, as calculated on December 31, 2004, with the retention, partial or total, of dividends or Interest on Equity distributable or payable by Cemig to the State of Minas Gerais;

 

i)      the State of Minas Gerais, as controlling stockholder of Cemig, submitted a proposal for the renegotiation of the CRC Contract to the Extraordinary General Meeting of Stockholders of Cemig held on June 17, 2004;

 

j)      the said General Meeting of Stockholders submitted the proposal with the bases for the renegotiation of the CRC Contract for decision by the Board of Directors of Cemig;

 

l)      on November 19, 2004 the Board of Directors approved the 2005-2035 Strategic Plan for Cemig – 2004 Edition / Bases for Renegotiation of the Contract for the Outstanding Balance on the CRC (Results Compensation) Account, which covers all the following:

m)    the Fourth Amendment to the Contract for Assignment of the Outstanding Balance of the CRC establishes the appropriate conditions for the necessary securitization of the receivables specified therein;

 

n)    in the process of unbundling of the Company, the credits of the CRC remained with Cemig, upon approval by Aneel, the National Electricity Agency, which removes the obligation for prior approval by that Agency for the signature of the Fourth Amendment to the Contract for Assignment of the Outstanding Balance on the CRC (Results Compensation) Account, which would be necessary only for the wholly— owned subsidiaries, Cemig Geração e Transmissão S.A. and Cemig Distribuição S.A., which became the holders of the concessions for generation, transmission and distribution of electricity;

 

o)    the efficacy of the Fourth Amendment to the Contract for Assignment of the Outstanding Balance on the CRC (Results Compensation) Account is conditional upon publication of a shortened version of it in the Official Gazette of the State of Minas Gerais;

 

— the Board of Directors submits to the Extraordinary General Meeting of Stockholders its proposal for homologation of the authorization to sign the Fourth Amendment to the Contract for Assignment of the Outstanding Balance of the CRC (Results Compensation) Account, between Cemig and the State of Minas Gerais.

 

As can be seen, the objective of this proposal is to meet the legitimate interests of the stockholders and the Company, for which reason the Board of Directors hopes that it will be approved by yourselves, the stockholders. Belo Horizonte, December 7, 2005.

Paragraph Two: The amount of each half-yearly amortization installment shall be monetarily updated, from January 31, 2005 up to the date of its payment, based on the General Domestic Availability Price (IGP-DI) inflation index of the Getúlio Vargas Foundation.

 

Paragraph Three: The maturity date of each installment shall be automatically brought forward to the date on which CEMIG makes the payment of dividends and/or Interest on Equity, within the respective half-year to which the installment refers. In the event of there having taken place, in the said half-year, any payment of dividends or Interest on Equity, either ordinary or extraordinary, and if the payment of these takes place on different dates, the due date shall be that of the last payment in the half-year period.

Paragraph Four: The monetary updating and the interest payable under this Amendment shall be

calculated on the daily debtor balances of the DEBIT, pro rata tempore, with the monetary updating being calculated monthly and the interest being capitalized six-monthly.

 

Paragraph Five: In the event of the IGP-DI being abolished, the index which replaces it shall be applied, or another officially recognized monetary updating index which best reflects the loss of purchasing power, or any other index which may be agreed between the Parties.

 

CLAUSE THREE: RETENTION OF DIVIDENDS OR INTEREST ON EQUITY

 

For payment of the DEBIT, in accordance with Clause Two, the Parties recognize that the STATE:

 

a)     currently has a stockholding of 22.23% (twenty two point two three per cent) in CEMIG which, based on distribution of 50% (fifty per cent) of the net profit as dividends or Interest on Equity and retention of the percentage specified in Paragraph Two, sub-clause “a” below, corresponds, on today’s date, to a percentage of 7.23% (seven point two three per cent) on net profit; and

 

b)    intends to use the amounts arising from the flow of dividends or Interest on Equity to which it is entitled as a stockholder of CEMIG, taking into account the New Dividend Policy and the changes to the Bylaws of CEMIG, to guarantee the payment of the Installments and the balance of the DEBIT.

a.1)          for settlement of any Installment past due and not fully paid, in order of the past chronological order of due dates;

 

a.2)          for settlement of the Installment relating to the half-year in which the ordinary distribution of profit or Interest on Equity takes place;

 

a.3)          for anticipated settlement of up to a maximum of 2 (two) Installments, being those immediately subsequent to the half-year in which the ordinary distribution of earnings or Interest on Equity takes place, subject to the provisions of Clause Four; and

 

a.4)          for the amortization of the balance of the DEBIT, augmented by the interest due and duly adjusted, without there being any change to the amount or due date of the Installments yet to become due, or subsequent ones, which shall continue to be owed in accordance with the terms of Clause Two, except those referred to by item a.3 above.

 

b)    CEMIG shall pay to the STATE the remaining 35% (thirty five per cent) of the amount of the ordinary dividends and Interest on Equity.

Paragraph Three: The maturity date of each installment shall be automatically brought forward to the date on which CEMIG makes the payment of dividends and/or Interest on Equity, within the respective half-year to which the installment refers. In the event of there having taken place, in the said half-year, any payment of dividends or Interest on Equity, either ordinary or extraordinary, and if the payment of these takes place on different dates, the due date shall be that of the last payment in the half-year period. There shall, however, be retained, from each payment which comes to be made within the respective half-year, in advance, the amount which, under this

 

CONTRACT, is to be retained of the amount payable by CEMIG to the STATE, as provided for in Clause Three.

 

Paragraph Four: The monetary updating and the interest payable under this Amendment shall be calculated on the daily debtor balances of the DEBIT, pro rata tempore, with the monetary updating being calculated monthly and the interest being capitalized six-monthly.

 

Paragraph Five: In the event of the IGP-DI being abolished, the index which replaces it shall be applied, or another officially recognized monetary updating index which best reflects the loss of purchasing power, or any other index which may be agreed between the Parties.

 

CLAUSE THREE: RETENTION OF DIVIDENDS AND INTEREST ON EQUITY

 

For payment of the DEBIT, in accordance with Clause Two, the Parties recognize that the STATE:

 

a)     currently has a stockholding of 22.23% (twenty two point two three per cent) in CEMIG which, based on distribution of 50% (fifty per cent) of the net profit as dividends or Interest on Equity and retention of the percentage specified in Paragraph Two, sub-clause “a” below, corresponds, on today’s date, to a percentage of 7.23% (seven point two three per cent) on net profit; and

 

b)    intends to use the amounts arising from the flow of dividends or Interest on Equity to which it is entitled as a stockholder of CEMIG, taking into account the New Dividend Policy and the changes to the Bylaws of CEMIG, to guarantee the payment of the Installments and of the balance of the DEBIT.

 

Paragraph One: By means of this Amendment, and for the full purposes of law, the STATE hereby irrevocably authorizes CEMIG to retain amounts from the STATE’s entitlement to dividends and/or Interest on Equity receivable from CEMIG for the payment of the Installments and the balance of the DEBIT, plus the interest owed and duly adjusted, subject to the provisions of this instrument.

 

64



 

Paragraph Two: Of the distribution, as ordinary dividends and Interest on Equity, of 50% (fifty per cent) of net profit, CEMIG shall, unless otherwise provided for in this instrument, proceed as follows:

 

a)     CEMIG shall retain 65% (sixty five per cent) of the total of the ordinary dividends and Interest on Equity to which the STATE is entitled (hereinafter “the Amount Retained”) and apply the entire Amount Retained as follows:

 

a.1)   for settlement of any Installment past due and not fully paid, in order of the past chronological order of due dates;

 

a.2)   for settlement of the Installment relating to the half-year in which the ordinary distribution of profit or Interest on Equity takes place;

 

a.3)   for anticipated settlement of up to a maximum of 2 (two) Installments, being those immediately subsequent to the half-year in which the ordinary distribution of earnings or Interest on Equity takes place, subject to the provisions of Clause Four; and

 

a.4)   for the amortization of the balance of the DEBIT, augmented by the interest due and duly adjusted, without there being any change to the amount or due date of the Installments yet to become due, or subsequent ones, which shall continue to be owed in accordance with the terms of Clause Two, except those referred to in item a.3 above.

 

b)    CEMIG shall pay to the STATE the remaining 35% (thirty five per cent) of the amount of the ordinary dividends and Interest on Equity.

 

Paragraph Three: Without prejudice to the retention of the Amount Retained under Paragraph Two, if the retention of the ordinary dividends and Interest on Equity is insufficient to settle the respective Installment, CEMIG shall proceed to retain, starting on January 1, 2008, up to 65% (sixty five per cent) of all and any amount of extraordinary dividends or Interest on Equity to which the STATE may be entitled, for the settlement of any Installment, up to the amount necessary for its settlement, after due monetary correction.

 

Paragraph Four: If the retention of the ordinary and extraordinary dividends and/or Interest on Equity in the manner specified in Paragraphs Two and Three above is insufficient for total settlement of any Installment, CEMIG shall proceed automatically to retain the totality of all and any dividends and Interest on Equity, ordinary or extraordinary (including the percentage specified in Paragraph Two, sub-clause “b”), to which the STATE is entitled, starting from the six-month period immediately following that of the Installment which is past due and has not been fully settled, up to the full settlement of such Installment, duly adjusted in monetary terms, and the interest due on any debtor balance shall be added to the total of the DEBIT.

 

Paragraph Five: Without prejudice to the retention of the Amount Retained, in accordance with the Paragraphs above and any other provision hereof, and provided that default has not yet been characterized under Clause Seven, after the settlement of all the Installments that are past due and have not been fully settled, the retention specified in Paragraphs Three and Four shall be immediately suspended, and shall again be applied only to the 65% (sixty five per cent) of the

 

65



 

ordinary dividends and Interest on Equity, in accordance with Paragraph Two, sub-clause “a”.

 

Paragraph Six: If there is a reduction in the share held by the STATE in the registered capital of CEMIG and, as a result, in the ordinary dividends and/or Interest on Equity to be paid by CEMIG to the STATE, the percentage defined in Paragraph Two, sub-clause “a” shall automatically be adjusted upward (with the corresponding reduction of the percentage specified in Paragraph Two, sub-clause “b”), in such a way that the “Amount Retained” shall correspond at all times to at least 7.23% (seven point two three per cent) of the net profit of CEMIG.

 

Paragraph Seven: If CEMIG assigns the credits made up of the Installments payable by the STATE, which may also be an assignment to one or more Credit Receivables Investment Funds, provided that all the terms and conditions of this instrument are preserved, the STATE hereby authorizes CEMIG to make the payment of the Installments, in the proportion of the credit assigned, directly to the assignee, using amounts retained in accordance with this Clause Three.

 

CLAUSE FOUR: EARLY AMORTIZATION AND OTHER AMORTIZATIONS

 

The Parties agree that early amortization of an Installment or Installments may only take place in the following events and provided there is no Installment which is past due and has not been fully settled:

 

c)     the STATE may effect early amortization of up to a maximum of 2 (two) Installments, by application of the balance of the Amount Retained in excess of the amount of the Installments that are past due, as specified in Paragraph Two, sub-clause “a.3”, of Clause Three, provided the number of installments thus amortized early does not exceed, at any time, a total of 2 (two) Installments; or

 

d)    the STATE may carry out early amortization of up to a maximum of 3 (three) Installments, with its own funds, not arising from the retention of ordinary or extraordinary dividends and/or Interest on Equity, provided that the number of Installments thus amortized early does not exceed at any time a total of 3 (three) Installments.

 

Sole paragraph: In the event that CEMIG carries out any amortization, redemption or repurchase of shares, any reduction of capital or any other transaction which results in distribution or payment to stockholders, other than distribution of dividends or payment of Interest on Equity, the totality of the amounts to which the STATE is entitled shall be wholly and automatically used in the amortization of the balance of the DEBIT, in the manner specified in Clause Three, Paragraph Two, sub-clauses “a.1”, “a.2”, “a.3” and “a.4”, subject also to the provisions of sub-clause “b” of this Clause.

 

CLAUSE FIVE: COMPLIANCE WITH THE STRATEGIC PLAN AND THE CONTRACT

 

For the purposes of ensuring the total payment of the DEBIT to CEMIG, under the terms of this Amendment, and as part of its obligations hereunder, the STATE undertakes, subject to the legislation in force, to exercise its power of control in CEMIG in such a way as:

 

66



 

a)     to propose the maintenance of, and maintain, in the bylaws of the wholly-owned subsidiaries of CEMIG, the distribution and payment to CEMIG, as dividends and/or Interest on Equity, of the total of the net profit made by the said subsidiaries, after the retention of the amounts allocated to the legal reserves and to the capital expenditure approved under the Strategic Plan, subject to the availability of free cash in the respective subsidiary;

 

b)    to propose the maintenance of, and to maintain, in the Bylaws of CEMIG, (i) the distribution and payment of 50% (fifty per cent) of net profit, as dividends or Interest on Equity, in 2 (two) six-monthly parts, the first by June 30 and the second by December 31, of each year; and (ii) the provisions in relation to the management of CEMIG contained in Clause 11 of the Bylaws, with the drafting approved by the Extraordinary General Meeting of Stockholders begun on December 30, 2005 and completed on January 12, 2006.

 

c)     to submit to prior approval by the Board of Directors of CEMIG and, subsequently, to approval by the General Meeting of Stockholders of CEMIG, any alteration to the CONTRACT, as amended by the present Amendment;

 

Paragraph One:  The Parties recognize that the renegotiation of the DEBIT in the form of this Amendment took into account the Strategic Plan and the New Dividend Policy therein specified, and also the establishment of targets for the management of CEMIG, in accordance with the provisions of the bylaws referred to in sub-clause “b” of the head paragraph of this Clause. In this respect, and as long as the State has fulfilled its commitments specified in this Clause Five, if an extraordinary event occurs that is unpredictable and beyond the control of the Parties, and results in reduction of the profit of CEMIG and consequent reduction of the payment of dividends and Interest on Equity, in such a way that 100% (one hundred per cent) of the retention by CEMIG of the ordinary and/or extraordinary dividends and interest on equity which are payable to the STATE, in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph Four of Clause Three, is insufficient for the full payment of the Installments, the Parties, in a spirit of mutual cooperation and in obedience to the final period for settlement of the DEBIT and the financial charges originally agreed, hereby agree to negotiate in good faith the rescheduling of the Installments affected by the respective events, taking into account the Strategic Plan. When the existence of the circumstances referred to in this Paragraph One has been characterized, unless the parties reach an agreement about the rescheduling of the Installments affected, all the provisions hereof shall remain valid and in full effect (including the retention of all the dividends and interest on equity payable to the State), except that the number of Installments provided for in the head paragraph of Clause Six and in sub-clause “b” of Clause Seven shall be, for the specific purposes of such an eventuality, and without the possibility of accumulation (even if a new event occurs), augmented by 1 (one) Installment, increasing to 4 (four) and 6 (six) Installments, respectively.

 

Paragraph Two: The provisions relating to the management of CEMIG contained in the bylaws referred to in sub-clause (b), sub-item (ii), of this Clause Five, which aim to ensure compliance with the guidelines and targets necessary for adequate generation of the profits of CEMIG and the payment of the DEBIT in the form specified in this Amendment, shall not be changed, other

 

67



 

than in an extraordinary situation arising from a future situation in the economy which clearly justifies and calls for alteration of any of these provisions, as and when such situation is identified by the Board of Directors of CEMIG in terms of this Paragraph Two and provided that the alteration of any of these provisions, in such a situation, (i) is limited to what is strictly necessary for adaptation to the new situation, (ii) maintains and makes possible maintenance of the projections of CEMIG’s profits in such a way as to ensure the conditions for the full payment of the DEBIT by the STATE in the manner specified in this Amendment, (iii) obeys the principles that support the renegotiation of the DEBIT in the form of this Amendment and, cumulatively,

(iv) is approved by the Board of Directors of CEMIG, after hearing of the opinions of an independent audit, and also of CEMIG’s independent auditors, as a condition for submission of the change to the general meeting of stockholders of CEMIG.

 

CLAUSE SIX — INCREASE IN THE INTEREST RATE

Sole paragraph: The increase in the interest rate shall be in effect as from the first day of the six— month period following the six-month period to which the third Installment not fully paid refers and may be reduced again to the interest rate specified in sub-clause “c” of the head paragraph of Clause Two (without prejudice to the amount of interest accumulated at the higher rate in the period in which it is in effect) if the STATE settles all and any Installment that is past due and unpaid in full before its default has been characterized in accordance with Clause Seven.

 

CLAUSE SEVEN: DEFAULT

 

Any of the following events shall characterize default by the STATE, independently of any advice or notification:

 

a)     if the STATE at its initiative and without being obliged to comply with any new rule of federal legislation (i) allows the reduction of the distribution and payment to CEMIG of dividends or interest on equity of the wholly-owned subsidiaries of CEMIG, as specified by sub-clause “a” of Clause Five, (ii) reduces the distribution and payment of 50% (fifty per cent) of the net profit of CEMIG as dividends and Interest on Equity, or (iii) ceases to obey the provisions of Paragraph Two of Clause Five in relation to the commitment and matters specified in sub-clause “b”, item (ii) of Clause Five;

Any stockholder who wishes to be represented by proxy in this General Meeting should obey the terms of Article 126 of Law 6406/76, as amended, and the sole paragraph of Article 9 of the company’s By-laws, by depositing, preferably by December 28, 2005, proofs of ownership of the shares, issued by a depositary financial institution, and a power of attorney with special powers, at the management office of the General Secretariat of Cemig at Av. Barbacena 1,200 – 19th floor, B1 wing, Belo Horizonte, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, or by showing the said proofs of ownership at the time of the meeting.

 

Belo Horizonte, December 22, 2005.

Wilson Nélio Brumer

Chairman of the Board of Directors.

 

Before the agenda of this Meeting was put to debate, the representative of the stockholder Southern Electric Brasil Participações Ltda. highlighted that the Bylaws adopted by the Extraordinary General Meeting of Stockholders of October 25, 1999, and also the subsequent meetings, were approved only in view of the suspension of the Stockholders’ Agreement, by the decision of the Judiciary, and were, thus, provisional and precarious. He stated that, thus, the acts and operations practiced or submitted to the approval of the management bodies of Cemig, under such changes in the Bylaws made under the protection of a Court decision currently in force, could at any moment be revised and withdrawn from the legal universe.

 

On the question, the representative of the stockholder State of Minas Gerais reminded the meeting that the decision that annulled the Stockholders’ Agreement signed between the State of Minas Gerais and Southern Electric Brasil Participações Ltda. no longer has an interim or provisional character – being a decision on the merits and that, therefore, this is not a case of suspension, but annulment. He added that there is already a decision on the merit which annuls the Stockholders’ Agreement confirmed by the Appeal Court of the State of Minas Gerais. He further stated that the decisions of this Board may only take into account what exists in the present day, and not to vote on matters while waiting for a Court decision would be irresponsible since, in reality, the said Stockholders’ Agreement, by force of a Court decision, cannot produce any effect and the decisions taken are taken strictly within compliance with the Court decision. Finally, he said that the Extraordinary and Special Appeals brought by Southern were not allowed for hearing by the Vice-Chairman of the Appeal Court of Minas State, and that, more recently, the Higher Appeal Court had refused the Interlocutory and Special Appeals filed by Southern, reinforcing the legal situation already declared by the Appeal Court of Minas Gerais, that is to say, the inefficacy of the Stockholders’ Agreement which is the subject of the action.

 

The Chairman then requested the Secretary to proceed to reading of the Proposal of the Board of Directors, the matter which is on the agenda, the content of which is as follows:

 

“ PROPOSAL BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO THE

EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS.

 

Dear Stockholders:

 

Whereas –

 

76



 

a)             the Bylaws of Cemig, in Clause 1, sole sub-paragraph, state that majority or minority stockholding by the company in other companies requires the prior authorization of Aneel;

 

b)            as a result of the unbundling of the company, the concessions for generation, transmission and distribution of electricity were transferred to the wholly-owned subsidiaries Cemig Geração e Transmissão S.A. and Cemig Distribuição S.A., so that prior authorization by Aneel for acquisitions by the company of stockholding interests became unnecessary;

 

c)             there is interest in establishing in the Bylaws of the company the obligatory nature of the duty of the company’s managers to obey the provisions of the company’s Strategic Plan and the dividend policy therein contained, in such a way as to give it full effect; and

 

d)            there is interest in establishing in the Bylaws of the company the competency of the management bodies to approve changes to the Strategic Plan of the company; to establish what should, necessarily, be contained in the Strategic Plan, and the fact that it is obligatory for the Strategic Plan to be reflected in all the plans, projections, activities, strategies, capital expenditure and expenses of the company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, subsidiaries and affiliates and in the consortia in which it participates, directly or indirectly, including the Multi-Year Strategic Plan of the company and the Annual Budget;

 

– the Board of Directors proposes to submit to the Extraordinary General Meeting of Stockholders the following changes to the Bylaws:

Sole sub-paragraph: The activities specified in this Clause may be exercised directly by Cemig or through companies constituted by it, or in which it may at any time have majority or minority stockholding interests, as intermediaries, upon decision by the Board of Directors, in accordance with State Laws 828 of December 14, 1951, 8655, of September 18, 1984, and 15290 of August 4, 2004.”.

 

2)   In Clause 11, the sole sub-paragraph shall become § 1, and the following §§ 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 shall be included:

(...)

 

f)             approval, upon a proposal by the Chief Financial and Investor Relations Officer, of the declarations of vote in the wholly-owned subsidiaries, other subsidiaries, affiliated companies and the consortia in which the company directly or

indirectly participates, when they relate to matters dealt with in the Annual Budget, the Company’s Multi-Year Strategic Plan, or the Strategic Plan, or which may affect its implementation or the dividend policy therein contained, and such exercise of voting power shall, at all times, obey the provisions of these Bylaws;”.

 

The company’s Bylaws shall come into effect with their new drafting after registration of the above alterations with the Commercial Board of the State of Minas Gerais.

 

As can be seen, the objective of this proposal is to meet the legitimate interests of the stockholders and the company, for which reason the Board of Directors hopes that it will be approved by yourselves, the stockholders.
