  • Official ID card with photo;
  • The latest corporate document (bylaws or articles of association), in the case of a legal entity;
  • Power of attorney granted by shareholder;

Considering the situation that has been reported about the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic in Brazil, mainly due to the currently existing restrictions on the circulation and gathering of people, the meeting will be held exclusively in digital manner, which is why the shareholder participation can only be:

  1. through Voting Ballot, with detailed instructions on the documentation required for remote voting are contained in the Ballot that can be accessed on the websites mentioned above; and
  2. through the Digital Platform, in person or by a proxy duly constituted under the terms of article 21-C, §§2 and 3 of IN CVM 481, in which case the shareholder may: (i) simply participate in the EGM, whether or not he has sent the Voting Ballot; or (ii) participate and vote in the EGM, noting that as for the shareholder who has already sent the Voting Ballot and that, if he wishes, votes in the Meeting by the Digital Platform, all voting instructions received through the Voting Ballot will be disregarded.

Shareholders wishing to participate in the EGM via the Digital Platform must access the

Company's website, athttp://www.eletrobras.com/AssembleiaVirtualand complete its

registration, and after confirming the registration and receiving the registration password, attach all documents required to qualify for participation and/or vote in the EGM, at least 2 (two) days in advance of the date designated for the EGM, that is, until August 31, 2020. The following documents shareholders will be required to qualify and participate and/or vote in the EGM via the Digital Platform: (a) if a natural person, copy of the identification document, legally recognized as such, with a recent photo and national validity, within the validity period, if applicable, or, in the case of being represented by an attorney, a copy of the power of attorney signed with less than 1 (one) year, together with the official identity document with photo of the attorney, and such attorney must be another shareholder or lawyer regularly registered with the Brazilian Lawyers Association; or (b) if a legal entity, (i) updated constitutive acts of the shareholder and the act that invests the representative (s) with sufficient powers for representation within the EGM, duly registered with the competent bodies, together with the official document photo ID of the representative(s); (ii) if necessary, a power of attorney duly granted under the terms of the law and/or the constituent acts of the shareholder, together with the official identity document with a photo of the attorney.

After sending all supporting documents, the shareholder or attorney-in-fact, as the case may be, will receive an invitation with an individual password to access the Digital Platform. Pursuant to article 5, paragraph 3 of CVM Instruction 481, access to the Digital Platform will not be allowed to shareholders who do not present the necessary participation documents within the term provided herein and as detailed in the Management Proposal.

The Company clarifies that, exceptionally for this EGM, it will dispense the need to send the physical copies of the shareholder representation documents to its office, as well as the signature of the grantor in the power of attorney to represent the shareholder, notarization, consularization, the apostille and sworn translation of all documents representing the foreign shareholder, simply sending a simple copy of the original copies of such documents through the website mentioned above. The Company will only admit power of attorneys granted by

shareholders by electronic means containing digital certification that is within the standards of the Brazilian Public Key Infrastructure or by other means of proving the authorship and integrity of the document in electronic form.

Detailed information on the rules and procedures for participation and/or remote voting in the EGM, including guidelines for sending the Remote Voting Bulletin, are contained in the Management Proposal available on the CVM (www.cvm.gov.br) and Company (www.eletrobras.com/ri). Guidelines on access to the Digital Platform and rules of conduct to be adopted at the EGM will be sent to each shareholder together with an invitation with an individual password to access the Digital Platform.

The Company's decision to hold the EGM exclusively digital, pursuant to article 4, paragraph 2, item I and article 21-C, paragraph 2 and 3 of ICVM 481, was due to the extraordinary context that the country is going through and the rest of the world, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, where the transit of people is being limited by the competent authorities and which, including the opening of airspace and transit through airports, is one of the aspects of greatest instability. Thus, the realization of EGM exclusively digitally reduces the need for air travel and the health risk of all EGM participants, facilitating the participation of shareholders and others involved in the realization of EGM. Through this decision, the Company reiterates its commitment to the adoption of measures to combat the pandemic of COVID-19 and to the safety of its shareholders and employees and the communities in the regions where it operates.

The resolutions at the EGM shall be passed by a majority of votes, and each shareholder's vote shall be proportional to its shareholding in the Company's share capital.

The shareholders shall have access, at the Company websites (www.eletrobras.com/ir), Brazillinan Securities Commission - CVM (www.cvm.gov.br) and B3 S.A. - Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão (www.b3.com.br), to the entire documentation related to the business which shall be addressed at the Annual Shareholders' Meeting and Extraordinary General Meeting, under the terms of the Brazilian Corporations Law CVM Instruction 481.
