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, on this date, a financial operation was completed, through which its subsidiary Centrais Elétricas do Norte do Brasil (“Eletronorte”), obtained, by means of an Export Credit Note signed with Banco do Brasil, the amount of R$ 680,000,000.00, with an interest rate of CDI + 2.20% per year and a payment period of 5 (five) years from the date of disbursement. The Company will become the guarantor of its subsidiary in this operation.

 

The resources obtained through this acquisition will be earmarked for the discharge of more onerous liabilities and/or for cash reinforcement and will be used in the ordinary course of the subsidiary's business. 

 

Finally, despite the fact that it is not a financing with the official seal of sustainable linked loan, this operation is the first debt contract of the Eletrobras group with the establishment of commitment through a sustainable indicator. The Company assumes under this contract the commitment to the fulfillment of the goal of participation of clean energy sources in the electric matrix of Eletrobras companies with a minimum annual level of 96%, to be disclosed through the annual report of Eletrobras.

 

The Company will keep the market informed of the subject matter dealt with in this Market Announcement.
