MARKET ANNOUNCEMENT


We hereby inform our shareholders and the market in general as follows:


On April 30, 2015, we filed a Form 12b-25 with the US Securities and Exchange Commission ('SEC') notifying the SEC that we had been unable to finalize all the information required for our annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2014 ('2014 Form 20-F') by the prescribed filing date of April 30, 2015. Accordingly, the deadline to file our 2014 Form 20-F was extended to May 15, 2015 in accordance with Rule 12b-25 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.


On May 14, 2015, we filed a market announcement informing that we would not be in a position to file our 2014 Form 20-F by May 15, 2015 as we were in the process of engaging a specialized independent firm to conduct an independent investigation to evaluate the possibility of violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the Brazilian anti-corruption Law No. 12,846/2013 and or the Code of Ethics of Eletrobras Companies, in connection with certain projects in which Eletrobras Companies participate directly or indirectly, including through minority interests or special purpose entities. On June 10, 2015, we disclosed to the market that we had hired Hogan Lovells, a law firm based in the United States, to conduct the investigation under the supervision of our Independent Commission for Investigation. On May 18, 2015, the New York Stock Exchange granted us an extension of six months for the filing of our 2014 Form 20-F.


As the investigation remains on-going, we will not be in a position to file our 2014 Form 20-F by November 18, 2015 and we are in the process of applying for a further six month extension from the New York Stock Exchange.


Rio de Janeiro, October 27, 2015.
