Message from the Chairman of the Board of Directors

Dear Shareholder:

It is with immense pleasure that I present to you this Manual for Participation in the General Shareholders' Meeting of the Companhia Paranaense de Energia - Copel, with general guidance for an effective participation and exercise of the vote.

This manual has been prepared based on Copel's Corporate Governance policy, which is founded on transparency and equity.

The manual aims to present, in a clear and brief way, the information related to the Company's General Shareholders' Meeting, seeking thereby to contribute for the understanding of the proposals for resolution and to encourage the participation of shareholders in the events of the annual corporate agenda of the Company.

Copel's 199th Extraordinary General Meeting was called for December 17, 2018, at 2:30 p.m.,

at the Company's headquarters located at Rua Coronel Dulcídio nº 800, in the city of

Curitiba.

The matters to be presented in the Extraordinary General Meeting for the resolution of the shareholders are described in the Call Notice and in this manual as well as the types of shares granting the right to vote on the item of the agenda. Given the current number of Company shareholders, this manual seeks to encourage and enable participation in the General Meeting.

Your participation is very important, considering that issues relevant to the Company and its shareholders are dealt with in the General Shareholders' Meetings.

Yours sincerely,

Mauricio Schulman

Chairman of the Board of Directors
