Subject: Request for information on news media report
Dear Sirs,
A news report in the newspaper Valor Econômico of June 26, 2015 states among other content that the loss of the concession of the three hydroelectric plants which have concession periods that have been completed or are about to be completed could reduce the operational profit of your company by half, and create obstacles to the company's strategy of growth through acquisitions.
We request you to provide, by June 29, 2015, clarification about the content of this report, and any other information considered to be important.
The file to be sent should contain the question that is asked above, preceding your company's reply. This request is made under the Cooperation Working Agreement signed between the CVM and
BM&FBovespa on December 13, 2011. Non-compliance with the request may make your company subject to imposition of an incentive fine by the Company Relations Management Unit (SEP) of the CVM, subject to CVM Instruction 452/07.
Yours,
Nelson Barroso Ortega

Dear Sirs,
We believe this news report arises from publication, in the Material Announcement of June
24, 2015, of the result of the judgment given by the Higher Appeal Court (Superior Tribunal de Justiça - STJ), on the Application for Mandamus Nº 20.432/DF made by our wholly- owned subsidiary Cemig Geração e Transmissão S.A. (Cemig GT).
As stated in the Material Announcement published to the market, the Higher Appeal Court decided, by the judgment of six justices against and two in favor, to refuse the application for mandamus, brought by Cemig GT for the purpose of extension of the period of its concession to operate the Jaguara Hydroelectric Plant in accordance with its Concession Contract Nº 007/97.
The company is confident that it has the right to renewal of the concession for the plant in the terms of its Concession Contract Nº 007/97; it is awaiting publication of the result of the judgment before taking the appropriate legal measures, and will keep its stockholders and the public timely and appropriately informed on the progress of this case.
The company is aware of the risks to which it is exposed, and has been taking steps to ensure its economic and financial equilibrium in the event of not being successful.
Belo Horizonte, June 29, 2015
