Detailed justification of the reasons why the Company's Management considers that the transaction observed commutative conditions or provides for adequate compensatory payment

The contract provides for the BNDES' remuneration in the form of risk and consists of 0.2% of the amount determined when entering into debt collection contracts (apart from the reimbursement of expenses with third-party services).

The Success Rate is the mechanism provided for in the National Privatization Program, regulated by Law 9.491/1997, which in its article 21 establishes:

Art. 21. The National Privatization Fund Manager will have a remuneration of 0.2% (two tenths percent) of the net value calculated on the disposals to cover its operating costs, as well as the reimbursement of expenses incurred with third parties, necessary for the execution of the privatization processes provided for in this Law.

This remuneration rate was, by analogy, applied in the Angra 3 process, which started at PPI in the form of structuring a public-private partnership.

Eventual participation of the counterparty, its partners or administrators in the decision process of the issuer's subsidiary regarding the transaction or the negotiation of the transaction as representatives of the Company, describing these interests.

Presidential Decree No. 9915/2019 qualified Angra 3 in the Investment Partnership Program (PPI). The sole paragraph of Article 2 of the aforementioned presidential decree provides that Eletronuclear contracts independent studies, to support the final decision of the CPPI, in the selection of the model. The BNDES was consulted due to its notorious performance in the PND. Additionally, BNDES is the agent indicated by Law 14,120 for the calculation of the price of energy produced by Angra 3, for which the inputs of these technical services are essential data.

In the process of this amendment, there was a competition from the counterparty in the discussion of the reimbursement amounts for third party services, in view of the market consultations carried out by the latter for contracting them.
