Listed Company – Taxpayer No. 17.155.730/0001-64

 

Cemig Board approves 30-years Strategic Guidelines Plan

 

The meeting of the Board of Directors of Cemig held at the Company’s head office on 19 November approved the Strategic Guidelines Master Plan which will orient the company’s business for the next 30 years.

 

The Strategic Plan is oriented by the principles of secure sustainable growth and addition of value, and provides for expansion of Cemig’s generation capacity and its transmission and distribution networks. To ensure that growth is sustainable, the plan imposes very conservative indebtedness limits.

 

Another highlight of the meeting was the new dividend policy, based on 50% payout of distributable net profit, with extraordinary dividends whenever there is free cash available.

 

The Plan also includes a solution for the issue of the credits under the CRC (Results Compensation) ccount. Under the solution adopted, the repayments due to Cemig will be made by means of Cemig retaining dividends payable to the State of Minas Gerais. Cemig and the State are finalizing discussions of the fourth amendment to the contract for concession of the CRC credits.

 

The matters requiring approval by either the Legislative Assembly of the State of Minas Gerais or the Brazilian electricity regulator (Aneel) will be duly submitted to these two bodies.
