2




 

applicable to the Nominal Unit Value from the date of the actual subscription and paying-up (“Issue Date”) of the Securities up to the Maturity Date, in accordance with the following formula:

J = VNe x (InterestFactor - 1),

Where:

J =                       unit value of the remuneration interest, calculated to 6 (six) decimal places, without rounding, payable at the end of the Capitalization Period.

VNe =       the Nominal Value of the issue, published/calculated to 6 (six) decimal places, without rounding.

InterestFactor = product of the DI Rates, summed exponentially with a percentage factor, from the start date of the Capitalization Period, inclusive, up to the date of termination of Capitalization Period exclusive, calculated to 8 (eight) decimal places, without rounding, as found by the following formula:

Where:

n =                       the total number of days of the DI Rate used in the updating of the asset, where “n” is a whole number.

P =                       103% (percentage applied to the DI Rate).

Where:

DIk =           The DI Rate published by CETIP, valid for 1 (one) business day (“overnight”), used to 2 (two) decimal places.

“Capitalization Period”: This is the time interval starting on the Issue Date, inclusive, and ending on the date of payment of the Nominal Unit Value of the Security, exclusive, plus the Remuneration.

If at any time during the period of validity of the Securities the DI Rate is not published, the last previous available DI Rate shall be applied, and in this event no offsetting between the Issuer and the holders of the Securities shall be payable when the DI Rate that would be applicable is subsequently published.

3




 

If the DI Rate ceases to be published for a period of more than 10 (ten) days, or if it is abolished or if there is a legal impossibility of application of the DI Rate to the Securities, the legal parameter which is established, if any, shall be used in substitution of it. If there is not a substitute legal parameter for the DI Rate, then the weighted average rate of remuneration of Brazilian short-term federal public securities with maturity of 90 (ninety) days traded in the prior 30 (thirty) days, at the time of the occurrence, shall be used.

1.13. Period of Maturity

The maturity period of the Promissory Notes shall be 90 (ninety) calendar days from the date of subscription (“the Maturity Date”).

No contract for stabilization of the price of the Securities shall be signed. No fund to sustain liquidity for the Securities shall be constituted. No type of discount shall be granted by the Lead Manager to investors interested in requiring the Securities.

The Securities are guaranteed by a guarantee given by Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais - Cemig (“Cemig”, or “the Guarantor”).

The Lead Manager warrants that the guarantee by CEMIG was duly constituted by signature of its legal representatives on the reverse side of the physical issued form of each of the Securities, guaranteeing the totality of the debt represented by them, and the guarantee in question was duly approved by a meeting of the Board of Directors of CEMIG held on June 29, 2006, and is, thus, fully enforceable against CEMIG.

2. OVERVIEW OF THE COMPANY

2.1. Brief history

Cemig Distribuidora is an unlisted Brazilian corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais - Cemig, constituted on September 8, 2004. It began operating on January 1, 2005, consequent upon the separation of the activities of Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais - Cemig.

The concession contract of Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais - Cemig for electricity distribution, signed in 1997, required that its operations be restructured by the separation of the activities of generation, transmission and distribution into wholly owned subsidiaries (“Unbundling”).

Additionally, Provisional Measure 144, of December 11, 2003, which was subsequently converted into Federal Law 10848 of March 15, 2004, governing restructuring of the model of the Brazilian electricity sector, required the division - into separate companies - of the activities of generation and transmission from the activity of electricity distribution.

Thus, seeking the best manner of carrying out the stockholding restructuring of Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais - Cemig, the Board of Directors approved the process of unbundling and, in August 2004, Law 15290/04 was sanctioned by the Governor of the State of Minas Gerais, authorizing the stockholding restructuring.

7




 

On September 8, 2004 two wholly-owned subsidiaries of Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais - Cemig were formed, namely Cemig Geração e Transmissão S.A., and Cemig Distribuição S.A.

The networks and distribution lines and other assets and liabilities related to the activities of electricity distribution of Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais - Cemig were transferred to Cemig Distribuição, effective January 1, 2005.

The National Electricity Agency (“Aneel”) gave its final homologation to the transfer of the electricity distribution concession by Authorizing Resolution 407 of December 20, 2004.

2.2. Objects

The objects of the company are to study, plan, draw up, operate, and commercially operate, electricity distribution and sales systems and related services for which concessions have been given or may come to be given, by any means of law.

2.3. The Company’s activities

The principal activity of the Issuer is the provision of public electricity distribution service.

The business involves the purchase and sub-transmission of high-voltage energy (138kV and 88 kV), its transformation into medium-voltage and low-voltage energy, and its distribution and sale to final consumers in the State of Minas Gerais.

The Issuer holds concessions for the distribution of electricity in an area which covers approximately 96.7% of the State of Minas Gerais. The issuer carries out activities of electricity distribution in 774 municipalities and 5,415 locations of the State of Minas Gerais, serving a population of approximately 17 million in accordance with the census of the year 2000.

5. RISK FACTORS

Before taking an investment decision in relation to the Securities, potential investors should carefully consider, in the light of their own financial situations and investment objectives, all the information available in this document and, in particular, should assess the risk factors described below.

Risks related to the Offering

Volatility and absence of liquidity in the Brazilian securities markets

Investing in securities of emerging markets, such as Brazil, involve a greater risk than investing in securities of issuers from more developed countries, and such investments are regarded as being of a speculative nature. Brazilian investments, such as the Securities in this Offering, are subject to economic and political risks, involving, among other factors:

· changes in the regulatory, fiscal, economic and political environments which can affect the capacity for investors to receive payments, in whole or in part, in relation to their investment; and

· restrictions on foreign investments and repatriation of invested capital. The Brazilian securities markets are substantially smaller, less liquid, more concentrated and more volatile than the principal markets in US and European securities, and are less regulated and supervised than those markets.

· The relatively small market capitalization, and low liquidity, of the Brazilian securities markets, can substantially limit the trading capacity of the Securities at the desired price and moment in time.

Low liquidity of the secondary market

The secondary market that exists in Brazil for trading of Promissory Notes has historically had low liquidity, and there is no guarantee that a market for trading in the Securities will exist in the future that enables their holders to sell them, if they decide in favor of the investment. Cemig Distribuição cannot guarantee that any market for the Securities will develop, nor that it will be liquid. The liquidity and the market for the Securities could also be negatively affected by a general fall in the market for Promissory Notes. Such a fall could have an adverse effect on the liquidity and markets of the Securities, independently of the outlook for the financial performance of Cemig Distribuição.

Events for early maturity of the Securities

The text of the security representing the Promissory Note provides that certain events shall cause automatic early maturity of the Company’s obligations, such as application for Judicial Recovery (reorganization through the Courts) or bankruptcy of the Issuer, non-compliance with obligations provided for in the distribution contract, extinction of concessions and early maturity of other debts.

13




 

There are no guarantees that the Company will have sufficient funds in cash to provide for the payment of the Securities in the event of early maturity of its obligations. Further, the results and activities of the Issuer could suffer a significant negative impact in the event of early maturity.

Payment by the Guarantor

The Securities have the guarantee of Cemig, which is the controlling stockholder of the Issuer. By reason of its activities, Cemig is subject, among others, to the risks related to macroeconomic factors and to the risks related to the electricity sector. If any of these risks becomes a material reality, it is not possible to guarantee that the Guarantor, if called upon, will have the ability to honor the payment of the Securities.

Validity of stipulation of the DI Rate

Precedent 176 of the Higher Appeal Court states that the clause which subjects the debtor to payment of interest in accordance with the rate published by Andima/Cetip is null. According to the Appeal Court Judgments that gave rise to this Precedent, Andima and Cetip are entities under private law, whose purpose is the defense of the interests of financial institutions. Although the said Precedent does not bind the decisions of the Judiciary, the possibility exists that in a Court dispute that Precedent may come to be applied by the Judiciary in a judgment to the effect that the DI Rate is not valid as a factor for remuneration of Promissory Notes. In this event, the new index must be determined by the Judiciary, and could represent lower remuneration than the DI Rate, with adverse affect on the yield from the Securities.

Absence of Opinions of Counsel and Independent Auditors

The Company has not contracted lawyers or Independent Auditors for the conduction of a process of due diligence or accounting audit, respectively, of the information of a legal or accounting nature in relation to its business and activities, with a view to the preparation of this instrument or of the other documents which were made available to investors in the ambit of the Offering. This being so, those acquiring the Securities should take their investment decision in the knowledge that the sufficiency, veracity, quality and precision of the information provided by the Company in this present instrument were not verified independently by third parties contracted for such purpose.

6. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND THE LEAD MANAGER

The Lead Manager is related to the Issuer through its controlling stockholder, Banco do Brasil S.A., which contracts loan transactions and provides services to the Issuer in commercial transactions that are usual in the financial market, such as, among others, payroll services, payment to suppliers and collection services.

J =                       unit value of the remuneration interest, calculated to 6 (six) decimal places, without rounding, payable at the end of the Capitalization Period.

VNe =       the Nominal Value of the issue, published/calculated to 6 (six) decimal places, without rounding.

InterestFactor = product of the DI Rates, summed exponentially with a percentage factor, from the start date of the Capitalization Period, inclusive, up to the date of termination of Capitalization Period exclusive, calculated to 8 (eight) decimal places, without rounding, as found by the following formula:

Where:

n =                       the total number of days of the DI Rate used in the updating of the asset, where “n” is a whole number.

P =                       103% (percentage applied to the DI Rate).

TDIk =   the DI Rate, expressed by day, calculated to 8 (eight) decimal places, with rounding, as follows:

Where:

DIk =           The DI Rate published by CETIP, valid for 1 (one) business day (“overnight”), used to 2 (two) decimal places.

“Capitalization Period”: This is the time interval starting on the Issue Date, inclusive, and ending on the date of payment of the Nominal Unit Value of the Security, exclusive, plus the Remuneration.

If at any time during the period of validity of the Securities the DI Rate is not published, the last previous available DI Rate shall be applied, and in this event no offsetting between the Issuer and the holders of the Securities shall be payable when the DI Rate that would be applicable is subsequently published.

If the DI Rate ceases to be published for a period of more than 10 (ten) days, or if it is abolished or if there is a legal impossibility of application of the DI Rate to the Securities, the legal parameter which is established, if any, shall be used in substitution of it. If there is not a substitute legal parameter for the DI Rate, then the weighted average rate of remuneration of Brazilian short-term federal public securities with maturity of 90 (ninety) days traded in the prior 30 (thirty) days, at the time of the occurrence, shall be used.

1.11. Form of pricing

The Security shall be offered to investors with the Remuneration mentioned in 1.10. above, without any price formation mechanisms.

1.12. Charges for arrears

If there is a failure of punctuality in the payment of any amount payable to the holders of the Securities, the overdue units shall be subject to: (a) arrears interest calculated from the day of default to the date of actual payment, at the rate of 1% (one per cent) per month, on the amount owed, independently of the price, or notification or action in or outside the Courts; and (b) a conventional arrears penalty payment, irreducible and of a compensatory nature, of 2% (two per cent) on the amount due and unpaid.

2. OVERVIEW OF THE COMPANY

2.1. Brief history

Cemig Geração e Transmissão is an unlisted Brazilian corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais - Cemig, constituted on September 8, 2004. It began operating on January 1, 2005, consequent upon the separation of the activities of Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais - Cemig.

The concession contract of Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais - Cemig for electricity distribution, signed in 1997, required that its operations be restructured by the separation of the activities of generation, transmission and distribution into wholly owned subsidiaries (“Unbundling”).

Additionally, Provisional Measure 144, of December 11, 2003, which was subsequently converted into Federal Law 10848 of March 15, 2004, governing restructuring of the model of the Brazilian electricity sector, required the division - into separate companies - of the activities of generation and transmission from the activity of electricity distribution.

7




 

On September 8, 2004 two wholly-owned subsidiaries of Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais - Cemig were formed, namely Cemig Geração e Transmissão S.A., and Cemig Distribuição S.A.

The power plants, transmission lines and other assets and liabilities related to the electricity generation and transmission assets of Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais - Cemig, including the consortia for production of electricity, were transferred to Cemig Geração e Transmissão, effective January 1, 2005.

The transfer of the generation concession is in the process of approval by the Brazilian National Electricity Agency, Aneel. The proposal for transfer of the concessions of Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais - Cemig was approved by Aneel through Authorizing Resolution 407 of December 20, 2004. However, some concession contracts are still at the signature stage, and as a result the procedure of transfer of the concessions has not yet been concluded.

2.2. Objects

The objects of the Company are: a) to study, plan, draw up, build, operate and commercially operate electricity generation, transmission and sale systems and related services for which concessions have been or may come to be granted, by any means under law, or to companies in which it holds stockholding control; b) to carry out activities in the different fields of energy, from whatever source, with a view to economic or commercial operation; c) to provide consultancy service, within its area of operation, to companies both in Brazil and worldwide; d) to carry out activities directly or indirectly related to its objects.

2.3. The Company’s activities

Cemig Geração e Transmissão operates in the area of generation and transmission of electricity and has 45 power plants, of which 42 are hydroelectric, one is a wind power plant and two are thermal generation plants, and transmission lines most of which are integrated into the basic network of the Brazilian generation and transmission system.

As well as the concessions for generation and transmission given by Aneel, the Company takes part in consortia for concessions of electricity generation for which companies with an independent legal existence have not been constituted to manage the operation of those concessions.

3. SELECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

5. RISK FACTORS

Before taking an investment decision in relation to the Securities, potential investors should carefully consider, in the light of their own financial situations and investment objectives, all the information available in this document and, in particular, should assess the risk factors described below.

Risks related to the Offering

Volatility and absence of liquidity in the Brazilian securities markets

Investing in securities of emerging markets, such as Brazil, involve a greater risk than investing in securities of issuers from more developed countries, and such investments are regarded as being of a speculative nature. Brazilian investments, such as the Securities in this Offering, are subject to economic and political risks, involving, among other factors:

· changes in the regulatory, fiscal, economic and political environments which can affect the capacity for investors to receive payments, in whole or in part, in relation to their investment; and

· restrictions on foreign investments and repatriation of invested capital. The Brazilian securities markets are substantially smaller, less liquid, more concentrated and more volatile than the principal markets in US and European securities, and are less regulated and supervised than those markets.

· The relatively small market capitalization, and low liquidity, of the Brazilian securities markets, can substantially limit the trading capacity of the Securities at the desired price and moment in time.

Low liquidity of the secondary market

The secondary market that exists in Brazil for trading of Promissory Notes has historically had low liquidity, and there is no guarantee that a market for trading in the Securities will exist in the future that enables their holders to sell them, if they decide in favor of the investment. Cemig Geração e Transmissão cannot guarantee that any market for the Securities will develop, nor that it will be liquid. The liquidity and the market for the Securities could also be negatively affected by a general fall in the market for Promissory Notes. Such a fall could have an adverse effect on the liquidity and markets of the Securities, independently of the outlook for the financial performance of Cemig Geração e Transmissão.

Events for early maturity of the Securities

The text of the security representing the Promissory Note provides that certain events shall cause automatic early maturity of the Company’s obligations, such as application for Judicial Recovery (reorganization through the Courts) or bankruptcy of the Issuer, non-compliance with obligations provided for in the distribution contract, extinction of concessions and early maturity of other debts.

13




 

There are no guarantees that the Company will have sufficient funds in cash to provide for the payment of the Securities in the event of early maturity of its obligations. Further, the results and activities of the Issuer could suffer a significant negative impact in the event of early maturity.

Payment by the Guarantor

The Securities have the guarantee of Cemig, which is the controlling stockholder of the Issuer. By reason of its activities, Cemig is subject, among others, to the risks related to macroeconomic factors and to the risks related to the electricity sector. If any of these risks becomes a material reality, it is not possible to guarantee that the Guarantor, if called upon, will have the ability to honor the payment of the Securities.

Validity of stipulation of the DI Rate

Precedent 176 of the Higher Appeal Court states that the clause which subjects the debtor to payment of interest in accordance with the rate published by Andima/Cetip is null. According to the Appeal Court Judgments that gave rise to this Precedent, Andima and Cetip are entities under private law, whose purpose is the defense of the interests of financial institutions. Although the said Precedent does not bind the decisions of the Judiciary, the possibility exists that in a Court dispute that Precedent may come to be applied by the Judiciary in a judgment to the effect that the DI Rate is not valid as a factor for remuneration of Promissory Notes. In this event, the new index must be determined by the Judiciary, and could represent lower remuneration than the DI Rate, with adverse affect on the yield from the Securities.

Absence of Opinions of Counsel and Independent Auditors

The Company has not contracted lawyers or Independent Auditors for the conduction of a process of due diligence or accounting audit, respectively, of the information of a legal or accounting nature in relation to its business and activities, with a view to the preparation of this instrument or of the other documents which were made available to investors in the ambit of the Offering. This being so, those acquiring the Securities should take their investment decision in the knowledge that the sufficiency, veracity, quality and precision of the information provided by the Company in this present instrument were not verified independently by third parties contracted for such purpose.

6. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND THE LEAD MANAGER

The Lead Manager is related to the Issuer through its controlling stockholder, Banco do Brasil S.A., which contracts loan transactions and provides services to the Issuer in commercial transactions that are usual in the financial market, such as, among others, payroll services, payment to suppliers and collection services.
