Subject: Request for clarification on news

Mr Director,

1. Referring to the news entitled "Eletrobras's situation is "unsustainable" and Government prepares sale of assets", conveyed today, 06/10/2016, by News Agency Reuters, bearing the following information below:

   "The situation of state utility company Eletrobras, which faces billion-dollar losses since 2012, is" unsustainable "and will require a review of the size and role of the company in the country, said on Friday the Minister of Mines and Energy, Fernando Coelho Filho" .

   He said that the government is preparing a company's assets sales plan should start with distribution companies and minority stakes in power plants and power lines.

   The minister denied, however, that there are plans, currently,of selling the largest subsidiaries of the state-owned company operating in generation and transmission sector - Furnas, Chesf, Eletronorte and Eletrosul.

   "We will not make a sale of Eletrobras," said Coelho Filho told reporters after attending a meeting with the vice-governor of São Paulo, Márcio França, and energy companies at the Bandeirantes Palace.

   "But it does have determination to redefine the role and size of the company."

   According to him, the government will prepare the privatization process with support from the Ministry of Planning, of the Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social (BNDES) and the ministry itself and its technical bodies such as the Empresa de Pesquisa Energética (EPE).

   The idea is to start sales by CELG-D power distribution company that serves the state of Goiás, whose privatization had already begun to be prepared by the government Dilma Rousseff, who came to set a minimum price for the company and hire the BNDES to support the process, but did not publish the notice.

   "The process will start with CELG, because is already well underway, but it will not stop there, the idea is to move forward ... Eletrobras has about 180 SPEs (Special Purpose Entities), the most diverse .. . Are important assets, valuable and it is no sense in the situation that the company is, to keep all these SPEs, "said Coelho Filho.

   He also made it clear that the sale of Eletrobras distribution subsidiaries should go ahead after CELG-D.

   "It is very clear that the distributors must not be under Eletrobras," he said.

   The seven distributors of Eletrobras attend, in addition to Goias states of the North and Northeast regions, such as Acre, Amazonas, Alagoas, Piauí, Rondônia and Roraima. Companies accumulate losses due to high default rates and theft and energy losses in their markets.

   Coelho Filho added that the government has not set a date to carry out the CELG-D auction. To close these settings, the ministry waits for, among other things, the arrival to the team of the mathematical Luiz Barroso, who is currently director of PSR consulting, but have accepted an invitation to chair the EPE.

   According to the minister, Barroso should take charge of EPE until the end of the month.
