MARKET ANNOUNCEMENT

 

Cemig’s legal action on the Jaguara plant concession:

update on the judgment

 

Cemig (Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais), a listed company with securities traded on the stock exchanges of São Paulo, New York and Madrid, in accordance with CVM Instruction 358 of January 3, 2002 (as amended), hereby publicly informs the CVM (Brazilian Securities Commission) the BM&FBovespa (São Paulo Stock, Commodities and Futures Exchange) and the market in general as follows:

 

In its First Session on today’s date, the Higher Appeal Court (Superior Tribunal de Justiça, or STJ) resumed proceedings in the judgment of Application for Mandamus Nº 20.432/DF, brought by Cemig GT in relation to extension of its concession for the Jaguara Hydroelectric Plant under Concession Contract 007/97.

 

In the judgment session held on May 14, 2014, Appeal Court Justice Mauro Campbell Marques had requested sight of the full proceedings. In the session today, he stated his judgment vote against the request by Cemig GT.

 

Immediately following this, the judgment proceedings were once again adjourned, due to a request by Appeal Court Justice Benedito Gonçalves for sight of the full proceedings.

 

The interim injunction that was previously granted, for Cemig to remain in control of the Jaguara Plant, operating the public service under its concession, until the judgment of the case, remains in force. No date has been set for resumption of the judgment proceedings.

 

Cemig will keep its stockholders and the market opportunely and appropriately informed on the progress of this case.

MARKET ANNOUNCEMENT

 

Cemig again included in DJSI World (2014-15)

 

Cemig (Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais), a listed company with securities traded on the stock exchanges of São Paulo, New York and Madrid, in accordance with CVM Instruction 358 of January 3, 2002 (as amended), hereby publicly informs the CVM (Brazilian Securities Commission), the BM&FBovespa (São Paulo Stock, Commodities and Futures Exchange) and the market in general as follows:

 

Cemig has once again been selected for inclusion in the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (the “DJSI World”), for 2014—15. Cemig has now been included in this index for 15 years, since the DJSI World was created in 1999.

 

This year’s index includes 319 companies from 26 countries, chosen from among 2,500 companies in 59 industrial sectors.

 

Cemig’s inclusion in the DJSI World for 15 consecutive years is a continuing reflection of its determination to maintain its sustainable growth, and its dedication to creation of value for its stockholders, employees and suppliers, and the well-being of society.

 

We believe that Cemig, reflecting its vision of the future, and its commitment to best corporate governance practices, has established a position as one of the most sustainable companies in the world.

 

This achievement is the joint result of all the actions adopted by the Company with the purpose of prospecting and establishing new businesses, creating long-term value for its stockholders and continually improving its corporate governance practices.

Reply by CEMIG

 

Dear Sirs,

 

In compliance with the request made by BM&FBovespa in Official Letter SAE 2950/14 of September 17, 2014, in relation to the recent variations in the prices of our company’s shares, and the increased number of trades and volume of shares traded, we inform you that there is no fact or event arising from our activity or business that could account for these events.

 

The changes observed in the amounts and volumes traded arise from evaluation made by investment analysts — in the attached reports — of an interview given to Valor Econômico newspaper by a representative of a candidate, published on September 16, and the result of an opinion poll on the elections for governor of the state of Minas Gerais.

 

Cemig reiterates its commitment to timely publication of all and any material information.

Workers’ Party wants to make Cemig less market oriented

 

By Marcos de Moura e Souza | Belo Horizonte

 

Leading polls in the Minas Gerais governor race, Workers’ Party (PT) candidate Fernando Pimentel is preparing several changes in the management of state-controlled utility Cemig. One of the largest Brazilian companies in the industry, Cemig has the state of Minas Gerais as majority shareholder and is traded on Bovespa and the New York and Madrid stock exchanges.

 

GRAPHICMarco Aurélio Crocco

 

In an interview with Valor PRO, the real-time news service of Valor, Mr. Pimentel’s chief campaign coordinator, Marco Aurélio Crocco, said that among the plans of a PT administration is lowering power bills.

 

He also spoke about a revision of what he considers an excessive priority on generating results to shareholders to the detriment of improving public services. He also questions the real need for the partnership under discussion with Spain’s Gas Natural Fenosa.

 

“Today Cemig is more guided by market mechanisms than fulfilling the needs of the state of Minas Gerais,” Mr. Crocco says. “The company’s service quality has deteriorated. We must change this behavior. It cannot be a company seeking only high profits to guarantee dividends to shareholders. It’s a state company.” He says there’s a “conflict” that needs to be conciliated.

 

Cemig, which reported a profit of R$741 million in the second quarter, 20% higher than the year-ago period, respond to criticism by citing it’s been included for the 15th consecutive time in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, which takes into consideration quality and shareholder gains.

 

This is the first time the PT is leading the elections for the state government in Minas Gerais. The Brazilian Social Democracy Party (PSDB) has been dominating the state’s politics for 12 years. Minas Gerais is the electoral base of PSDB Senator and presidential candidate Aécio Neves, who governed it for two terms (2003 to 2010) and elected allies as his successors. The state is currently governed by Alberto Pinto Coelho (Progressive Party, PP).

 

The electoral fight is between Mr. Pimentel and PSDB candidate Pimenta da Veiga. Mr. Pimentel has been leading since last year. Mr. Veiga rose in polls but continues in second place. Last week’s Datafolha poll showed the PT candidate with 34% of votes, while the PSDB contender had 23%.

 

Mr. Pimentel would win a second round if the election was today, according to the poll, with 42% of votes against 29%. Asked about his plans for Cemig, Mr. Veiga praised the company’s performance in the last few years. “The general lines are certain. We’re not proposing any huge change.” He promised that Cemig will be treated “in a technical way, as it has been treated” during PSDB administrations, and questioned Mr. Pimentel’s proposals to change tariff policies. The PSDB candidate says the experience of the Dilma Rousseff government (PT) — where Mr. Pimentel was a minister until early this year — in trying to reduce tariffs was a “complete disaster.”

Mr. Crocco says that Mr. Pimentel has a “clear intent” on lowering Cemig’s power prices as a way of benefiting residential and business consumers. At least two ideas are being considered: lowering the sales tax (ICMS) over electricity and not fully passing on to consumers all price raises determined by the National Agency of Electric Energy (Aneel).

 

“There are several ways of doing this: either you work it from what’s the state’s responsibility, in this case lowering ICMS, which is included in prices, or not passing on all price hikes allowed by the Aneel,” says Mr. Crocco, who holds a PhD in economists from University of London and is a professor on the Economics Department of the Federal University of Minas Gerais.

 

An analyst with a foreign bank who covers the electricity industry told Valor that the PT’s campaign in Minas Gerais is signaling that Cemig’s future is bad from the market standpoint, because the proposals could hurt the company’s financial health. The analyst thinks the proposal of lowering tariffs gives the market the impression that Cemig could be treated like Copel, the Paraná utility, was during the Roberto Requião administration (Brazilian Democratic Movement Party, PMDB) — a politician that spearheaded confrontations with the private sector. The analyst, who declined to be named, said that Mr. Requião twice didn’t pass on to consumers price increases calculated by Aneel.

 

Cemig CEO Djalma Bastos de Morais says that lowering the ICMS to bring down bills is a welcome measure, but questioned its viability. Mr. Morais has been ahead of the company since 1999, when the governor was Itamar Franco.

 

“The controlling shareholder, which is the state government, has its priorities. If the next governor is Mr. Pimentel, and when calculating what has to be invested and personnel expenses he manages to lower the ICMS, then great. Great for the industry, great for those choosing to install [companies] in Minas. But since the time of Doctor Itamar Franco I haven’t seen on the horizon ways of making state expenses compatible with cuts in the ICMS. I haven’t seen. Maybe the next government could reach this conditions,” the executive told Valor. “I have never seen, in this period, a government letting go of the ICMS.”

 

Mr. Crocco says that in a potential Pimentel administration “no contracts would be broken” and all parts would be heard. The campaign coordinator also advanced what would be the position of a potential PT administration on privatizing Gasmig, the state’s gas distributor and Cemig subsidiary. Privatizing it is being planned by the current government, which wants to build a gas pipeline to supply a nitrogen fertilizer plant constructed by Petrobras in Uberaba.

 

Lacking the project’s estimated cost of R$1.8 billion, Cemig’s management negotiated a partnership with Fenosa. The Spaniards would consolidate Gasmig into a new distributor charged with building the pipeline. But the Spaniards want Gasmig to be privatized.

 

“It hasn’t been determined that the best option is the Spanish company. Cemig still has financing capacity. Why not a BNDES loan, for instance? It would be easy for Cemig to seek such a partnership,” Mr. Crocco says.

 

Another controversial issue is Cemig’s fight with the Rousseff government. The company says it has the right to a new concession over three hydroelectric plants that the federal government argues should be returned to the Union and auctioned again. The disagreement began in late 2012, when the federal government defined new rules for the electricity industry.

 

The rules were approved when Mr. Pimentel was still the Development, Industry and Foreign Trade minister of the Rousseff administration. Mr. Crocco says the campaign considers “fundamental” maintaining the plants with Cemig. “If this is possible through a court measure or new bidding for the concession, we can’t say because we don’t know the litigation’s details.”

Brazilian Utilities

 

Utilities Daily: PT could win in the first round in Minas Gerais (negative for Cemig)

 

I hope you’re doing well. There are some topics on Brazilian utilities today that I believe could be of interest. Let me know if you want to discuss any of the items.

 

·                  PT could win in the first round in Minas Gerais — negative for Cemig, in our view. Last night, Ibope institute released a new opinion poll for the gubernatorial election in MG. As expected, Fernando Pimentel (PT) widened to 20pp from 14pp his difference to Pimenta da Veiga (PSDB). The PT candidate has now 43% (6pp above the previous poll), while the PSDB candidate remains at 23% (flat). The possibility of a definition in the first round pro PT is real, in our view. Ibope also showed a simulation for the second round in MG: PT 48% vs. PSDB 26%. We recommend a trade idea for Long PETR4 (N) x Short CMIG4 (UW). We also see negative read-thru for Light (LIGT3) and Taesa (TAEE11), which are not directly controlled by Cemig. In our view, the next administration may implement meaningful changes in the companies’ top management as well as setting a non return-oriented growth strategy.

 

·                  DisCo’s involuntary exposure in 2015 is a major concern. CanalEnergia press highlighted yesterday that disCos’ regulated contracts with genCos in the amount of 4.2 GW avg. will expire in January 2015 and need to be re-contracted in the A-1 energy auction, expected in November 2014. However, most of this 4.2 GW avg. is tied to concessions that will only expire in July 2015 (2.6 GW avg. related to Ilha Solteira/Jupiá concessions), creating a hole that must be tapped by purchases in the spot market — involuntary exposure, similar to what happened in 2014. The market is anxious for a solution, including: i) tailored products in the A-1 auction that would fit the different energy volume needs in 1H15 and 2H15; ii) further CDE/CCEE loans to offset the involuntary exposure in 1H15; iii) implementation of the tariff flags in January 2015;iv) allocation of Jaguara and São Simão plants (both belonging to Cemig) into quotas as early as January 2015 (i.e. preventing additional injunctions in favour of Cemig).

 

·                  Tapajós HPP (8.1GW) tender postponed. According to Valor newspaper, the government stepped back and revoked the permits for the tender of Sao Luiz do Tapajós HPP (8.1 GW), previously set for Dec 15th. According to the government, further studies on the impacts for indigenous people need to be contemplated, and IBAMA environmental authority should take more than 150 days to grant the preliminary construction license. This is considered the last giant hydro power project to be constructed in the Amazon region with a total capex of R$30.6bn (estimates). Tapajós HPP is a complex project, and would pose several execution/capex overrun risks for the winning consortium. The government did not announce the new date for this tender. We believe this project would face significant headwinds if Marina Silva wins the elections, as she has historically been a defender of the environment and against huge dams in the Amazon region. Given the dreadful track record of large Greenfields in Brazil (Santo Antônio, Jirau and Belo Monte HPPs) and all the risks involved in Tapajós (environmental, Indian communities, just to mention a few), we think this news is slightly positive on sentiment for Copel and Energias do Brasil, which we think would be interested in bidding for this project.

 

·                  Brazil to become a net importer of aluminum. Valor also reports today that Brazil should be a net importer of aluminum this year, as opposed to one of the biggest net exporters in 2013. The reason for this shift is that aluminum manufacturers (Alcoa, Votorantim, etc) face low prices and soaring electricity

prices in Brazil, a key cost component in the aluminum production. Moreover, with the spike in spot prices this year, aluminum players saw a good opportunity for windfall profits by stopping production and re-selling their energy contracts in the spot market at sky rocket Brazil. We think this choice will be made in 2015 as well. Furthermore, the continuity of aluminum industry in Brazil is at risk with the upward trend in power prices for new contracts after 2016-17. This is another element that supports our negative stance on Brazil’s GDP growth rate in 2015.

Utilities Daily: A Lot of Noise on Cemig; EdB Anticipates Start-up of Jari HPP; Tariff Flags Coming Next Year

 

·                  Cemig: What effect would the election have on shares? It seems investors are trying to understand what the effect would be for CMIG4 shares with a victory of the PT in this October gubernatorial elections.  The recent opinion polls show PT candidate Fernando Pimentel winning in the first round, which could make it more difficult for PSDB candidate, Pimenta da Veiga, to turn this around. As a reminder, the stock fell 44% in 1998 (January to December) after the PMDB government in October 1998 adopted non market-friendly measures and lost market support. CMIG4 printed a 71% sell-off between April and September 1998, when the government’s agenda became clear. It is difficult to assess the impacts of a PT administration for Cemig, as it seems the only certainty for next year is, curiously, uncertainty. We believe the recent skepticism was triggered by the Valor article earlier this week, quoting Fernando Pimentel’s campaign coordinator on eventual tariff reductions. So far, CMIG4 is down 21% from its peak in August 2014. We note that Cemig’s bylaws oblige the administration to implement in full the tariff increases granted by ANEEL, but this could be changed through a general shareholders meeting. All in all, we think the major question now is: How might Cemig’s top management change under a possible PT government?

 

·                  In our view, there are further factors to pay attention to: i) use of the genCo/trading business to foster industrial activity in the MG state by lowering genCo prices to clients, which could erode EBITDA margins; ii) revision of bylaws to allow for disCo tariff cuts — this would require approval from a general shareholders meeting, but the governor would have a majority of seats on the board to possibly pass this; iii) potential change in top management, revision of the dividend policy, shift of investment strategy; iv) bids for large greenfield projects at returns that could be suboptimal; v) opex increases; just to mention a few. Last, but not least, a reminder that Andrade Gutierres holds a 5% stake in Cemig’s preferred shares (CMIG4), related to the stock dividend paid by Cemig in Dec-13, which raises the risk of an overhang on PNs.

·                  Tariff flags confirmed for January 2015. According to Estadão newspaper, ANEEL’s director, André Pepitone, confirmed that the tariff flags mechanism will be put in place in January 2015 (the original schedule was January 2014). This is positive news for disCos in general, given that every time spot prices surpass R$350/MWh, captive tariffs will be raised by R$30/MWh (a hike of ~10% to current power rates). It is important to mention that, while the small involuntary exposure will be liquidated at spot prices (higher than R$30/MWh), the ~10% hike will be applied over the entire customer base of the disCo, implying much more revenues. The extra revenue for the disCo should solve problems related to negative working capital stemming from involuntary exposure to the spot market and thermo dispatch costs that are not covered by current tariffs.

 

·                  EDP Brasil anticipates greenfield hydro project, offset by Pecém I stoppage. Energias do Brasil announced the operational start-up of the Jari HPP (373 MW). The official start-up was scheduled for January 2015, but the company managed to move the start-up to August this year. According to our estimates, EDP is likely to profit R$100m this year by selling the electricity in the spot market. This is a positive event for the stock, but we believe it is not enough to counter the potential large effects of negative GSF (hydro generation deficits) that should occur in 2H14.

J.P.

total return of the stocks in the analyst’s (or the analyst’s team’s) coverage universe.] Not Rated (NR): J.P. Morgan has removed the rating and, if applicable, the price target, for this stock because of either a lack of a sufficient fundamental basis or for legal, regulatory or policy reasons. The previous rating and, if applicable, the price target, no longer should be relied upon. An NR designation is not a recommendation or a rating. In our Asia (ex-Australia) and U.K. small- and mid-cap equity research, each stock’s expected total return is compared to the expected total return of a benchmark country market index, not to those analysts’ coverage universe. If it does not appear in the Important Disclosures section of this report, the certifying analyst’s coverage universe can be found on J.P. Morgan’s research website, www.jpmorganmarkets.com.

MATERIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

 

Update on the entry of Cemig GT into the controlling block of Renova

 

Cemig (Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais), a listed company with securities traded on the stock exchanges of São Paulo, New York and Madrid – in accordance with CVM Instruction 358 of January 3, 2002, as amended, and complementing its Material Announcement of August 8, 2013 – hereby informs the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM), the São Paulo Stock Exchange (BM&F Bovespa S.A.) and the market in general, as follows:

 

On today’s date Cemig’s subsidiary Cemig GT (Cemig Geração e Transmissão S.A.) completed its subscription of 87,186,035 common shares in Renova Energia S.A. (‘Renova’), with payment by realization of the advances it made against future capital increases, in a total of R$ 1,550,071,797.66, on February 14, 2014 and March 31, 2014.

 

These events were provided for in the Investment Agreement signed between Cemig GT, Renova, RR Participações S.A. (“RR”), Light Energia S.A. (“Light Energia”) and Chipley SP Participações S.A. (“Chipley”), regulating the entry of Cemig GT into the controlling stockholding block of Renova, and structuring of Chipley as a growth vehicle for Cemig GT and Renova.

 

For the capital increase to take place, RR and Light Energia assigned their rights of preference to Cemig GT. The issue price of the shares in Renova was R$ 17.7789 per common share.

 

To reflect the subscription of the shares, and as specified in the Investment Agreement, a new Stockholders’ Agreement was signed, today, between RR, Light Energia and Cemig GT.

 

After ratification of the capital increase in Renova by its Board of Directors, depending on the exercise of right of preference and subscription of remaining shares by other stockholders, Cemig GT’s equity interest in Renova will be between 20.2% and 27.4% of the total share capital and between 24.9% and 36.6% of the total voting stock.

 

Cemig will keep its stockholders and the market opportunely and appropriately informed on the conclusion of this transaction.
