This document may contain estimates and forecasts that are not statements of fact that occurred in the past but reflect our management beliefs and expectations and may constitute future events' forecasts and estimates under Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The words "believe", "may", "estimate", "continue", "anticipate", "intend", "expect" and related words are intended to identify estimates that necessarily involve risks and uncertainties, known or unknown . Known risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: general economic, regulatory, political and commercial conditions in Brazil and abroad, changes in interest rates, inflation and value of the Real, changes in volumes and the pattern of use of electricity by consumer, competitive conditions, our level of indebtedness, the possibility of receiving payments related to our receivables, changes in rainfall and water levels in the reservoirs used to operate our hydroelectric plants, our financing and capital investment plans, existing and future government regulations , and other risks described in our annual report and other documents filed with CVM and SEC. Estimates and forecasts refer only to the date they were expressed and we assume no obligation to update any of these estimates or forecasts due to the occurrence of new information or future events. Future results of the Company's operations and initiatives may differ from current expectations and the investor should not rely solely on the information contained herein. This material contains calculations that may not reflect accurate results due to rounding.

In view of the aforementioned Official Letter, and as already mentioned in previous announcements we clarify that Eletrobras' shares have been fluctuating as a result of news that are disclosed in the media and statements by country authorities, not necessarily directly related to the Company, but that change the market perspective in relation to the National Congress acceptability of bill number 5.877/2019 ("PL"), which provides for the privatization of Centrais Elétricas Brasileiras SA - Eletrobras.

In this regard, on January 21, 2021, a statement from Senator Rodrigo Pacheco, candidate for the presidency of the Federal Senate, was noticed, informing that the privatization process of Eletrobras is not priority. In the same day, another candidate for the presidency of the Senate, Senator Simone Tebet, said it is difficult to know, at this moment, if the PL will be approved in 2021.

The privatization process involves extensive public discussion, which is not controllable by Eletrobras, highlighting that the federal government's privatization proposal is already publicly known, and reported by the Company through a Relevant Fact, and the Company has warned that privatization depends on approval by the National Congress.

The variations in the Company's shares, as a result, reflect economic and political assessments made by economic agents on future prospects that may be realized or not, depending on economic, social and political circumstances.

Accordingly, the Company reaffirms that there is no new information to be disclosed. The Company will keep the market informed about the subject of this announcement when there is new material information of its privatization process that should be disclosed, pursuant to the Comissão de Valores Mobiliários Instruction 358.
