PUBLICLY-HELD COMPANY
Centrais Elétricas Brasileiras S/A
(“Company” or “Eletrobras”) (B3: ELET3, ELET5 & ELET6; NYSE: EBR & EBR.B; LATIBEX:
XELT.O & XELT.B) informs its shareholders and the market in general that the 63rd Eletrobras Annual General Meeting ("63rd
AGM") held on April 27, 2023 approved the proposal for distribution of minimum mandatory dividend for the fiscal year ending
2022, in the total amount of BRL 863,402.037.50, to the Company's shareholders that hold the classes "A", "B"
and special classes (golden share) shares and common shares, as set forth in the Company's Bylaws ("Dividends").
The total amount of the Dividends to be paid
to the holders of: (i) class "A" preferred shares is BRL 292,596.41 equivalent to BRL 2.052458330936660 per class
"A" preferred share, (ii) class "B" preferred shares is BRL 418,134,932.52 equivalent to BRL 1.493651682000000
per class "B" preferred share; (iii) special class preferred shares (golden share) is BRL 0.22 equivalent to BRL 0.220928937550673

The unit values of dividend per share disregard
the treasury shares on April 27, 2023.
In addition, only the shareholders of the Company
holding shares, which are included in the shareholding base on the date of the 63rd AGMs’, that is, on April 27, 2023
(inclusive), will be entitled to receive the Dividends. Therefore, the class "A" and "B" preferred shares and the
common shares issued by the Company, traded as of April 28, 2023, inclusive, will not be entitled to receive Dividends (i.e., they will
be traded ex-dividends).
Form of Payment. The amount of the Dividends
due to the shareholders with shares under custody of B3 S.A. - Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão ("B3") will be paid to B3,
which will pass them on to the shareholders through the custody agents. The payment of the Dividends to the other shareholders will be
made by credit in current account, according to the registration data of the respective shareholders with Banco Bradesco S.A., the Company's
bookkeeping agent ("Bookkeeping Agent"). Shareholders whose registration data is outdated shall go to an agency of the
Bookkeeping Agent to have their registration data updated in order to receive the amount of Dividends due.

of the Dividends will be up to 60 days as of the present date, that is, pursuant to paragraph 3 of article 205, of Law 6,404 of December
15, 1976, as amended ("Brazilian Corporate Law”). The Dividend payment date will be announced in due course by the Company.
