MATERIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
Board proposes the merger of CemigTelecom
Cemig (Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais) (listed and traded in São Paulo, New York and Madrid), in compliance with CVM Instruction 358 of January 3, 2002 as amended, hereby reports to the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM), the São Paulo Stock Exchange (B3) and the market as follows:
In the meeting held on the date hereof, Cemigs Board of Directors resolved to present to the Extraordinary General Meeting of Stockholders a proposal concerning the merger of Cemig Telecomunicações S.A. (CemigTelecom) into Cemig. Cemig Telecomunicações S.A. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cemig.
The merger will have a positive impact on the involved companies resulting from the optimization of assets and synergies, and will reduce financial, operational and administrative costs through concentration of existing administrative structures, while improving options for use of available funds.
The proposal will be submitted to decision by stockholders at an Extraordinary General Meeting to be called on an appropriate date and time (subject to the terms specified by the law and the by-laws).
To take effect, the merger will need also to be submitted, separately, to Cemigs Audit Committee, pursuant Sub-item III of Article 163 of Law 6404/1976.
Considering that the proposed transaction involves the merger of a wholly-owned subsidiary, there will be no capital increase, nor issuance of new shares. The shares of CemigTelecom will be canceled and the necessary accounting records will be made.
Cemig reiterates its commitment to keep stockholders and the market timely informed in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

As a result of the Merger, all the shares issued by CemigTelecom (100% held by Cemig) will be canceled. Therefore, as there will be no delivery of shares issued by Cemig to stockholders of CemigTelecom, a comparison of the rights and advantages between the shares of the two companies is unnecessary.
d. Is there any need for approval by debenture holders or other creditors?
Not in relation to Cemig.
In relation to CemigTelecom, the Merger will be submitted to the approval of the General Meeting of Debenture Holders, which will state whether or not they are favorable to the Merger. Any of the holders of debentures of CemigTelecom that is dissident or be absent to the General Meeting of Debenture Holders shall have the right to redeem its debentures, under Article 231, §1, of the Corporate Law, for a period of six months from the date of publication of the minutes of the General Meetings relating to the Merger.
e. Any asset or liability elements that will form each portion of the equity, in the event of a split.
Not applicable.
f. Whether the resulting companies have any intention to be listed as issuers of securities.
Not applicable.
4. Plans to conduct of the companies businesses, particularly in relation to the specific corporate events that are planned.
After completion of the Merger, Cemig will continue to dedicate itself to the activities covered by its corporate purpose, keeping its registry as a listed company, and to succeeding the rights and obligations of CemigTelecom.
5. Analysis of the following aspects of the transaction:
a. Description of the principal benefits expected, including:
i. Synergies
With the merger, the Company will seek to achieve gains from optimization of assets and synergies, and reduce financial, operational and administrative costs through concentration of existing administrative structures, which will expand the means for Cemig to make use of available resources.
ii. Tax benefits
The Companys management sees no tax benefits arising from the Merger.
iii. Strategic advantages
One of the important strategic advantages inherent in the Merger is simplification of the current corporate structure and expansion of the means for Cemig to make use of available resources.
b. Costs
The managements of both companies estimate that there will be no additional costs as a result of the Merger. CemigTelecom is today a wholly-owned subsidiary, and all its costs are 100% consolidated by Cemig.

c. Risk factors
One of the goals of the Merger is to integrate the businesses of the companies and improve the use of the synergies obtained from the combination of the businesses of Cemig and CemigTelecom. This process of integration could result in difficulties of operational, regulatory, commercial, financial and contractual nature, which may prevent the expected synergies to be achieved or result in unforeseen losses or expenses.
d. If this is a transaction with a related party, indicate alternatives that could have been used to reach the same objectives, indicating the reasons why those alternatives were discarded.
No alternative structure to the Merger could result in the simplification and integration of the businesses of both companies, with the termination of one of the legal entities and its succession by the remaining company, as it is intended. Additionally, because this case involves the merger of a wholly-owned subsidiary by its parent company, the present question loses its relevance.
e. Exchange ratio
Not applicable, CemigTelecom is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cemig and thus the Merger will not result in an increase in the net equity of Cemig.
f. For a transaction involving parent companies, subsidiaries or companies under joint control, please provide:
(i) | The share exchange ratio calculated in accordance with Article 264 of Law 6404 of 1976. |
(ii) | Detailed description of the process of negotiation of the exchange ratio and other terms and conditions of the transaction. |
(iii) | If the transaction was preceded, in the last 12 (twelve) months, by an acquisition of control or acquisition of participation in a controlling stockholding block: |
(a) | Comparative analysis of the exchange ratio and the price paid in acquisition of control; |
(b) | Reasons justifying any differences of valuation in the different transactions; |
(iv) | Justification of why the exchange ratio is commutative, with description of the procedures and criteria adopted to guarantee the commutability of the transaction or, if the exchange ratio is not commutative, detailing of the payment or equivalent measures adopted to ensure adequate compensation. |
Cemig is the holder of 100% of the share capital of CemigTelecom, so that the transaction does not result in an increase of capital in Cemig, nor any alteration in the participation of its stockholders. Therefore, there is no need to consider any exchange ratio.
6. Copy of the minutes of all the meetings of the Board of Directors, Auditing Board and special committees in which the transaction was discussed, including any dissident votes.
The Opinion of the Auditing Board of Cemig is attached hereto as Appendix IV.
7. Copy of studies, presentations, reports, opinions, professional opinions or valuation reposts of the companies involved in the transaction that have been placed at the disposal of the controlling stockholder at any stage of the transaction.
The Valuation Report is attached hereto as Appendix V.

With the cancelation of the shares issued by CemigTelecom, the value of the investment recorded in the assets of Cemig will be replaced by the equity value of CemigTelecom, as valued by the experts.
The Merger will not result in a change in the net equity of Cemig since the net equity value of CemigTelecom is already reflected in its entirety in the Stockholders equity of Cemig, due to application of the equity method accounting. Consequently there will be no increase in the share capital of Cemig, nor any issue of new shares.
15. | Since this is a merger of a wholly-owned subsidiary into its parent company, with no other stockholders of CemigTelecom, and since there will be no increase of the corporate capital of the Cemig, there is no need to establish parameters for an exchange ratio, and there is no additional information to be made available to the stockholders of Cemig. |

FINAL PROVISIONS
16. | Approval of this Protocol by the stockholders of CemigTelecom and by the stockholders of Cemig will result in the termination of CemigTelecom on the Effective Date of the Merger, with the cancellation of all the shares issued by CemigTelecom. The management of Cemig will be responsible for filing all the corporate documents required for the registry of the Merger with the relevant entities. |
17. | With the Merger coming into effect on the Effective Date, all the goods and assets, rights, receivables, obligations and liabilities of CemigTelecom will automatically become part of the assets and liabilities of Cemig, which will succeed CemigTelecom in all its rights and obligation, regardless of any formalities other than those specified by law. |

(ii) | in relation to Cemig: there is no provision of law or in the by-laws of the company that grants a withdraw right to any dissenting stockholder. |
19. | Under Article 231 of the Corporate Law, the Merger will be conditional upon: |
(i) | the approval by the holders of debentures issued by CemigTelecom, in a General Meeting called specifically to approve the Merger; and |

36
CemigTelecom was incorporated on January 13, 1999, with the following purposes: to provide telecommunication services, through an integrated system consisting of fiber optic cables, coaxial cables, and electronic and related equipment for transmission, emission and reception of symbols, characters, signals, written material, images, sound and information of any type, and to operate telecommunications systems as an alternative provider of carriage of signal and other services to companies holding concession, permission or authorization to provide telecommunications services.
3. PURPOSE OF THE VALUATION; BASE DATE
The objective of the valuation of the net equity of CemigTelecom, at book value, on the base date of November 30, 2017, is the merger of its total net assets and liabilities into its parent company Cemig, in accordance with Articles 226 and 227 of Law 6404/76.
4. SCOPE OF THE WORK
To ensure accuracy of the accounting values of the asset and liability elements that comprise the balance sheet of CemigTelecom on November 30, 2017, we adopted the following procedures:
Ø | Reading of the Financial Statements at December 31, 2016. |
Ø | Reading of the Report by the Independent Auditor, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Auditores Independentes, issued on April 6, 2017 on the Financial Statements, without qualification in relation to the Balance Sheet of December 31, 2016. |
Ø | Interim Accounting Statements of September 30, 2017, accompanied by the Report of the external auditor, Ernst & Young Auditores Independentes, issued on November 10, 2017 on the review of the quarterly information, without qualification. |
Ø | Analytical review of the movement of balances of assets and liabilities in the period between September 30, 2017 and November 30, 2017. |
On September 30, 2017 the accounting records of CemigTelecom were in compliance with the pertinent legal formalities and are written in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil.
The experts used historic information and data audited by third parties and data supplied by the management of CemigTelecom, via email or through its website. We, thus, assume that the data and information obtained for this Opinion is true.
This Report was prepared for use solely and exclusively by Cemig, for the purpose mentioned in Item 3.
5. PRESENTATION OF THE BALANCE SHEET
The Balance Sheet of November 30, 2017 was prepared in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil. The experts verified that the assets and liabilities of CemigTelecom are properly accounted in accordance with the Plan of Accounts of the Telecommunications Sector.

6. COMPOSITION OF NET ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
6.1. Accounting Valuation and base date:
The components of net equity of CemigTelecom on November 30, 2017 are represented, in summary, by the following account lines:
ASSETS |
In Reais (R$) | |||
Current and non-current assets |
363,453,288.20 | |||
LIABILITIES |
||||
Current and non-current liabilities |
117,691,874.84 | |||
TOTAL OF STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY |
245,761,413.36 |
6.2. Net equity at market price
Since both the companies involved in the transaction, are listed companies, valuation at market price or any other economic-financial valuation technique is not justified, as specified by Article 264 of Law 6404/76, since this is a case of merger of a wholly-owned subsidiary into its parent company, and there is no determination of an exchange ratio that could be the subject to comparison and/or right to withdraw by dissenting shareholders. In other words, there will be no change in the net equity of Cemig, and consequently, no issuance of new shares, for which reason valuation at market price is not applicable.
6.3. Treatment of subsequent variations in the value of equity
Under Article 224, Sub-item III of Law 6404/76, the variations in equity that take place between the base date of this Opinion and the date of the merger of CemigTelecom into Cemig will be appropriated directly by Cemig, and at the time of the actual merger, the balances of existing account lines in the analytical interim balance sheet of CemigTelecom will be reflected, line by line, into Cemigs balance sheet.
7. CONCLUSION
As a result of the procedures and analyses effected, we conclude that the value of the stockholders equity of CemigTelecom, on November 30, 2017 is R$ 245,761,413.36 (two hundred forty five million seven hundred sixty one thousand four hundred thirteen Reais and thirty six centavos).

Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais (Cemig, also herein the Company, Parent company or Holding company) is a listed corporation registered in the Brazilian Registry of Corporate Taxpayers (CNPJ) under number 17.155.730/0001-64, with shares traded on the BM&F Bovespa (Bovespa) at Corporate Governance Level 1; on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE); and on the stock exchange of Madrid (Latibex). It is domiciled in Brazil, with head office at Avenida Barbacena 1200, Belo Horizonte, capital of the state of Minas Gerais. It operates exclusively as a holding company, with interests in subsidiaries or jointly controlled entities, which are engaged in the activities of the construction and operation of systems for generation, transformation, transmission, distribution and sale of electricity, and also activities in the various fields of energy, for the purpose of commercial operation.
In order to finance the capital expenditures needed to meet long-term growth objectives, CEMIG have incurred a substantial amount of debt. As of December 31, 2016, the CEMIGs Current Liabilities exceeded Current Assets by R$3,162. As of December 31, 2016, the CEMIG total short-term and long-term loans, financing and debentures are R$4,837 and R$10,342, maturing in the first, second, third and fourth quarters of 2017, in the amounts of R$783, R$1,017, R$579 and R$2,458, respectively. Those CEMIG had positive operating cash flows in the amounts of R$1,213, R$3,007 and R$3,733 in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
CEMIG Hs substantial debt could adversely affect the business, financial condition, and results of operations. Specifically, CEMIG is subject to certain restrictions on its ability to raise funds from third parties, which might prevent it from entering into new contracts for financing of its operations, or for the re-financing of its existing obligations, including the following:
◾ | The by-laws of CEMIG express the obligation for the consolidated figures of the group to maintain certain financial indicators, related to factors including debt and Capital Expenditures, within certain limits, and this could affect its operational flexibility. In the years 2015 and 2016, certain limits and financial ratios specified in the bylaws of CEMIG were exceeded, under approval by the General Meeting of Stockholders. CEMIG has obtained its stockholders to exceed these limits and financial ratios applicable for 2017. |
52
◾ | In relation to loans from outside parties: (i) as a state-controlled company, CEMIG is subject to rules and limits relating to the level of credit applicable to the public sector, including rules established by the National Monetary Council (Conselho Monetário Nacional, or CMN), and by the Brazilian Central Bank; (ii) CEMIG operates in the electricity sector, it is subject to the rules and limits established by Aneel which deal with indebtedness for companies of the electricity sector and (iii) state-controlled companies may use funds arising from transactions with commercial banks only for refinancing of financial obligations, or in transactions guaranteed by duplicate trade bills. |
◾ | The National Treasury Department (part of the Finance Ministry) and by the Central Bank would need to approve certain international financial transactions; this approval is usually given only if the purpose of the transaction is to finance importation of goods or to roll over external debt. These rules have the effect of placing limits on the CEMIG Hs capacity for indebtedness. |
◾ | CEMIG is subject to certain contractual conditions under existing debt instruments. In the event of non-compliance with an obligation under that financing contract, the CEMIG will be required to strengthen the guarantees for the financing, on penalty of early maturity of the contract. Any default event in our financial instruments might lead creditors to cause all the amounts relating to that debt to become payable immediately. Acceleration of debts might cause significant negative effects on the CEMIG Hs financial situation, and might also cause activation of cross-default clauses in other financial instruments. In the event of a default, CEMIG Hs cash flow might be insufficient to completely settle the debts, or to comply with the servicing of such debts. |
◾ | The credit risk rating agencies attribute a rating to Brazil, the Company and its debt securities on a Brazilian basis, and also a rating for the Company on the global basis. If ratings are downgraded due to any external factor, operational performance or high levels of debt, it may increase the cost of capital. |
In order to amortize scheduled debt maturities, CEMIG will need to raise significant amounts of debt capital from a broad range of funding sources. To service CEMIG debt after meeting our capital expenditure targets, CEMIG have relied upon, and may continue to rely upon, a combination of cash flows provided by our operations, drawdowns under our available credit facilities, our cash and short-term financial investments balance and the incurrence of additional indebtedness.
CEMIG has several initiatives designed to increase liquidity through entering into new contracts for financing or for the re-financing of its existing obligations and potential divestitures of non-core assets. In 2016, CEMIG introduced a divestment program that contemplates the sale of assets for the period of 20172018, with the goal of improving our short-term liquidity position by increasing our cash balance and reducing indebtedness.
53
Although the CEMIG is significantly leveraged, it expects that the current cash balances, liquidity from its revolving credit facility, cash generated from the initiatives described above, and from operations should be sufficient to meet working capital, capital expenditure, debt service, and other cash needs for the next year. Management believes that they will be successful in their plans.
If, for any reason, CEMIG are faced with continued difficulties in accessing debt financing, this could hamper our ability to make capital expenditures in the amounts needed to maintain our current level of investments or our long-term targets and could impair our ability to timely meet our principal and interest payment obligations with our creditors, as our cash flow from operations is currently insufficient to fund such both planned capital expenditures and all of our debt service obligations. A reduction in our capital expenditure program or the sale of assets could significantly affect our results of operations.

2.7 | Principal accounting policies |
The accounting policies described in detail below have been applied consistently to all the periods presented in these consolidated financial statements, in accordance with the rules and regulations described in item 2.1 Statement of compliance.
The accounting policies relating to the Companys present operations that require judgment and the use of specific valuation criteria are the following:
a) | Financial instruments |
Financial liabilities relating to put options The options to sell units in FIP Melbourne and FIP Malbec (the SAAG Put) and the options to sell shares in RME and Lepsa (the Parati PUT) were valued at fair value using the Black-Scholes-Merton (BSM) method. Both the options were calculated using the discounted cash flow method: for the SAAG Put option, up to the third quarter of 2016; and for the Parati Put option, up to the first quarter of 2016. The method used was changed, in the fourth and second quarters, respectively, to the BSM model. The Company calculated the fair value of these options having as a reference their respective prices obtained by the BSM model, valued on the closing date of the financial statements for the 2016 business year.
Share capital: The rights to minimum dividends as established for the preferred shares are described in Note 24 to the financial statements.
Financial instruments available for sale: As from December 31, 2012, assets in this category include the financial assets of the transmission and distribution concession that were covered by Law 12783 (of January 11, 2013). They are measured at New Replacement Value (Valor Novo de Reposição, or VNR), equivalent to fair value on the date of these financial statements. The Company recognizes a financial asset resulting from a concession contract when it has an unconditional contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset from, or under the direction of, the Concession-granting power for the services of construction or improvement provided.
Loans and receivables The category includes: Cash equivalents; Consumers and traders; Power transport concession holders; Financial assets of the concession not covered by Law 12783; the CVA Account (for compensation of changes in Portion A costs) and Other financial components of tariff adjustments; Escrow deposits; and Traders Free Energy transactions.
64
Cash and cash equivalents includes: Balances of cash; Bank deposits; and cash investments with original maturity of three months or less from the date of contracting, which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained for the purpose of meeting cash commitments in the short term and not for investment or other purposes.
b) | Consumers and traders; Power transport concession holders; and Traders transactions in Free Energy |
Accounts receivable from Consumers and traders, and from power transport concession holders, are initially recorded at value, whether already invoiced or not, and measured by amortized cost. They include any direct taxes for which the company has the tax responsibility, less taxes withheld at source, which are considered to be tax credits.
The provision for doubtful receivables, for low and medium voltage consumers, is recorded based on estimates by Management, in an amount sufficient to cover probable losses. The principal criteria set by the company are: (i) For consumers with significant balances, the balance receivable is analyzed in the light of the history of the debt, negotiations in progress, and real guarantees. (ii) For other consumers, the following are provisioned: Debts from residential consumers more than 90 days past due; debts from commercial consumers more than 180 days past due; and debts more than 360 days past due from other consumers. These criteria are the same as those established by Aneel.
For large consumers an individual analysis is made of the debtors and of the actions in progress for receipt of the credits.
c) | Investments |
The Companys investments include the intangible concession assets identified on acquisitions, net of any accumulated losses by impairment.
d) | Assets linked to the concessions |
Electricity distribution activity: The portion of the assets of the concession that will be totally amortized during the concession period is recorded as intangible and is completely amortized during the concession agreement period.
The amortization reflects the pattern of consumption of the rights acquired. It is calculated on the balance of the assets linked to the concession, by the straight-line method, based on the application of the rates set by Aneel for the electricity distribution activity.
The Company calculates the value of the assets which will not be fully amortized by the end of the concession agreement period, and reports this amount as a financial asset because it is an unconditional right to receive cash or other financial asset directly from the grantor.
Company has measured the parcel of the assets that will be completely amortized by the end of the concession, assuming extension of its concession agreement for a further 30 years, as described in more detail in Note 4.
New assets are recorded initially in Intangible assets, valued at acquisition cost, including capitalized borrowing costs. When the assets start operation they are split into financial assets and intangible assets, according to the criterion mentioned in the previous paragraphs: The portion of the assets that is recorded in financial assets is valued based on the new replacement cost, having as a reference the amounts homologated by Aneel for the Asset Base for Remuneration in the processes of tariff review.
When an asset is replaced, the net book value of the asset is written down as an expense in the Statement of income.
Transmission activity: For the new transmission concessions, granted after the year 2000, the costs related to construction of the infrastructure are recorded in the Statement of income as and when they are calculated, and a Construction Revenue is recorded based on the stage of conclusion of the assets, including the taxes applicable to the revenue and any profit margin.
65
Since the transmission contracts determine that the concession holders have an unconditional right to receive cash or another financial asset directly from, or in the name of, the Concession-granting power, for the new transmission concessions the Company records a financial asset, during the period of construction of lines, the transmission revenue to be received during the whole period of the concession, at fair value.
Of the invoiced amounts of Permitted Annual Revenue (RAP), the portion relating to the fair value of the operation and maintenance of the assets is recorded as revenue in the Statement of income, and the portion relating to the construction revenue, originally recorded at the time of the formation of the assets, is used to recover the financial assets.
Additional expenditures incurred for purposes of capital expansion and improvements to the transmission assets generate additional cash flow, and hence this new cash flow is capitalized into the financial asset balance.
In counterpart to acceptance of the terms of renewal of the old transmission concessions, as described in more detail in Note 4, the greater part of the transmission assets of the old concessions will be the subject of indemnity by the Concession-granting power, having already been written off on December 31, 2012, and an item in Accounts receivable having been posted corresponding to the estimated indemnity to be received.
Gas distribution activity: The portion of the assets of the concession that will be amortized in full during the concession is recorded as an Intangible asset and fully amortized over the period of the concession contract.
The amortization is calculated on the balance of the assets linked to the concession by the straight line method, applying amortization rates that reflect the estimated useful life of the assets.
The Company calculates the value of the assets which will not be fully amortized by the end of the concession agreement period, and reports this amount as a financial asset, because it is an unconditional right to receive cash or other financial asset directly from the grantor.
New assets are recorded initially in Intangible assets, valued at acquisition cost, including capitalized borrowing costs. When they start operation they are divided into a financial asset and an intangible asset, in accordance with a criterion mentioned in the previous paragraphs. When an asset is replaced, the net book value of the asset is written down as an expense in the Statement of income.
e) | Intangible assets |
Intangible assets comprise assets relating to: service concession contracts, and software. These are measured at total acquisition cost, less expenses of amortization.
Interest and other financing charges incurred on financings linked to works in progress are appropriated to Intangible assets in progress, and Consortia, during the period of construction.
For borrowings raised for the construction of a specific PP&E asset, the Company allocates all of the financial costs related to the borrowings directly to the respective assets being financed. For other borrowings raised that are not linked directly to a specific PP&E asset, a weighted average rate is established for the capitalization of the costs of those loans.
For intangible assets linked to the concession, the accounting practices described in the item Assets linked to the concession above are applied.
66
f) | Property, plant and equipment |
Depreciation and amortization: These are calculated on the balance of property, plant and equipment in service and investments in consortia, on a straight-line basis, using the rates determined by Aneel for the assets related to electricity activities, which reflect the estimated useful life of the assets.
The depreciation rates applied to the Companys property, plant and equipment assets are shown in Note 16 to the financial statements.
Assets not fully depreciated by the end of the concession will be reverted to the Concession-granting power and this non-depreciated portion will be indemnified.
Interest and other financing charges incurred on financings linked to works in progress are appropriated to PP&E assets in progress, and Consortia, during the period of construction.
For borrowings raised for the construction of a specific PP&E asset, the Company capitalizes all of the financial costs related to the borrowings directly to the respective assets being financed. For other borrowings raised that are not linked directly to a specific PP&E asset, a weighted average rate is established for the capitalization of the costs of those loans.
The residual value is the balance remaining of the asset at the end of the concession, thus, as established in a contract signed between the Company and the federal government, at the end of the concession the assets will be reverted to the federal government which, in turn, will indemnify the Company for those assets that have not yet been totally depreciated. In cases where there is no indemnity at the end of the concession, no residual value is recognized, and the depreciation rates are adjusted so that all the assets are depreciated within the concession period. See more details in Note 14.
g) | Impairment |
In assessing impairment, the Company uses historic trends of the probability of default, timing of recoveries and the amount of loss incurred, adjusted for managements judgment as to whether current economic and credit conditions are such that the actual losses are likely to be greater or less than suggested by historical trends.
h) | Benefits to employees |
For the Companys retirement benefit pension plan obligations, the liability recorded in the statement of financial position is the greater of: (a) the debt agreed upon with the foundation for amortization of the actuarial obligations, and (b) the present value of the actuarial obligation, as calculated by a qualified actuary, less the fair value of the plans assets, and adjusted for unrecognized actuarial gains and losses. In the business years presented, the expenses related to the debt agreed upon with the pension fund were registered in Financial revenue (expenses), because they represent interest and monetary updating. The other expenses on the pension fund were recorded as operational expenses.
Short-term benefits to employees: Employees profit shares specified in the Companys by-laws are accrued for in accordance with the collective agreement established with the employee unions and recorded in Employees and managers profit shares in the Statement of income.
i) | Income and Social Contribution taxes |
Deferred income tax and Social Contribution tax assets are reviewed at each financial position date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.
j) | Operational revenue |
In general, for the Companys business in the electricity, gas, telecommunications and other sectors, revenues are recognized when there is persuasive evidence of agreements, when delivery of merchandise takes place or when the services are provided, the prices are fixed or determinable, and receipt is reasonably assured, independently of whether the money has actually been received.
67
Revenues from sale of electricity are recorded based on the electricity delivered and the tariffs specified in the terms of the contract or in effect in the market. Revenues from retail supply of electricity to final consumers are recorded when the delivery has taken place. The billing is carried out monthly. Unbilled retail supply of electricity, from the period between the last billing and the end of each month, is estimated based on the billing from the previous month and is accrued for at the end of the month. The differences between the estimated amounts accrued and the actual revenues realized are recorded in the following month.
Revenue from the supply of electricity to the Brazilian grid system is recorded when the delivery has taken place and is invoiced to consumers on a monthly basis, in accordance with the payment schedules specified in the concession agreement.
For the older transmission concessions, granted before 2000, the fair value of the operation and maintenance of the transmission lines and the remuneration of the financial asset are recorded as revenue in the Statement of income for each period.
The services provided include charges for connection and other related services; the revenues are accounted when the services are provided.
The Portion A revenue and the Other financial items related to tariff adjustments are recognized in the statement of income when the costs effectively incurred are different from those incorporated into the electricity distribution tariff. For more details, see Note 14.
The gain on adjustment of expectation of cash flow from the indemnifiable financial asset of the distribution concession arising from the variation in the fair value of the Remuneration Asset Base is presented as operational revenue, together with the other revenues related to the Companys end-activity.
k) | Financial revenue and expenses |
Financial revenue includes interest income on funds invested, fee income for consumer payments made late, interest income on financial assets of the concession, and interest income on other financial assets. Interest income is recognized in the Statement of income using the effective interest method.
Financial expenses include: interest expense on borrowings; and foreign exchange and monetary variation on borrowing cost of debt, financings and debentures. Interest expense on the Companys borrowings that is not capitalized is recognized in the Statement of income using the effective interest method.
l) | Segment reporting |
The operating results of all operating segments for which discrete financial information is available are reviewed regularly by the Companys CEO, to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment, and to assess its performance.
Segment results that are reported to the CEO include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise mainly corporate assets (primarily the Companys headquarters) and head office expenses.
Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the year to acquire: the Financial assets of the concession; Property, plant and equipment; and Intangible assets other than Goodwill.
m) | Determination of the adjustment to present value |
The Company has applied adjustment to present value to certain concession contracts held for consideration, and also to the balance of debentures issued by the Company. Discount rates were used that are compatible with the cost of funding in transactions with the same maturity on the date of the transactions. These rates are: 12.50% for the small hydro plants and 5.10% for the conventional hydroelectric plants.
68
2.8 | Restatement of the Income Statement for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 |
The Company, in order to more adequately present its financial and operational performance, concluded that the adjustment related to the expectation of cash flow from the indemnifiable financial asset of the distribution concession should be presented as an operating revenue, instead of financial revenue, under net financial revenue (expenses), as originally presented, in order to be presented together with the other revenues related to its core business. This classification results in a more adequate presentation of the energy distribution business performance and provides a better presentation of the companys performance.
This conclusion is based in the following facts:
i. | Investing in infrastructure is an inherent activity of the energy distribution business, which business model is supported by the construction, maintenance and operation of this infrastructure; |
ii. | Part of the energy distribution industry, as well as the energy transmission industry, already adopts this classification, hence the Company will be increasing the comparability of its financial statements with others; |
iii. | As a result of the inflation increase in the past years faced by the country, which directly impacted the increase in the financial asset of the concession, impacted the importance of this revenue in the income statement. |
In accordance with the requirements of IAS 8Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, the Company changed the accounting policy previously adopted to an accounting policy that better presents its business performance (as described in the above mentioned topics). Therefore, the corresponding figures in the financial statements relating to the consolidated income statement for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, presented for purposes of comparison, were retrospectively reclassified and are being restated for purposes of comparison. The reclassification does not change the total consolidated assets, consolidated equity, net income, statements of comprehensive income and cash flow.

a) | Subsidiaries and jointly-controlled entities |
The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements as from the date on which the control starts until the date on which the control ceases to exist. The assets, liabilities and profit (loss) of the subsidiaries were consolidated using full consolidation. The accounting policies of the subsidiaries and jointly-controlled entities are aligned with the policies adopted by the Company. The financial information of the jointly-controlled entities is recognized by the equity method of accounting.
b) | Consortia |
The assets, liabilities, and profits (losses) of a consortium are recorded in accordance with the percentage interest held in the consortium, since these investments are considered to be joint operations in accordance with the requirements of IFRS11.
72
c) | Transactions eliminated in consolidation |
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealized gains arising from transactions with investee companies recorded by the equity method are eliminated against the investment in proportion to the Companys equity interests in the investee. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains are eliminated, but only up to the point at which there is no evidence of impairment.
The financial statements of Transchile, for the purposes of calculations by the equity method, are converted from US dollars (the functional currency of Transchile) to Reais based on the exchange rate at last quoted day of the year, since Cemigs functional currency is the Real. Foreign currency differences are recognized in Other comprehensive income and presented in equity up to the date of the sale of the interest in Transchile. After conclusion of the sale, the amount recognized in Other comprehensive income, in Equity, was transferred in full to the Income statement. In 2016, the whole of Cemigs interest in Transchile was sold to Ferrovial Transco Chile SpA., a company controlled by Ferrovial S.A. For fuller details please see Note 15.
The consolidated financial statements include the balances and transactions of the investment funds in which the Company and its subsidiaries and jointly-held subsidies are the sole unit holders. These funds comprise public securities, private securities and debentures of companies which have low risk classification, ensuring high liquidity.
These investment funds, the financial statements of which are regularly reviewed/audited, are subject to limited obligations, namely payment for services provided by the administrators of the assets, attributed to the operation of the investments, such as charges for custody, auditing and other expenses, and there are no significant financial obligations, nor are there assets of the unit holders to guarantee those obligations.

Generation concessions
In the generation business, the Company sells electricity: (1) through auctions to distributors to meet the demands of their captive markets; and (2) to Free Consumers in the Free Market (Ambiente de Contratação Livre, or ACL). In the Free Market, electricity is traded by generation concession holders, Small Hydro Plants (SHPs), self-producers, traders, and importers of electricity.
Free Consumers are those that have demand of more than 3MW at a voltage of 69kV or higher, or at any voltage if their supply began after July 1995.
74
A consumer that has opted for the Free Market may return to the regulated system only if it gives its distributor five years prior notice. The purpose of this period of notice is to ensure that if necessary the distributor will be able to buy additional electricity to supply the re-entry of Free Consumers into the Regulated Market. The state-controlled generators can sell electricity to Free Consumers but, unlike the private generators they are obligated to do so through an auction process.
Auctions of electricity generation concessions
In November 2015, Cemig GT took part in Auction 12/2015 and won the concessions for Lot D. This was for 18 plants shown below for five of which the concession had been previously held by Furnas S.A.:

Renewal of the concessions of the Jaguara, São Simão and Miranda Hydroelectric Plants
The company believes that it has the right to completion of periods of these concessions, based on the original terms of the Concession Contracts, and is currently arguing this in the courts.
The Jaguara hydroelectric plant
As specified in the Concession Contract for the Jaguara Plant, the Company applied for the extension of the concession. The Mining and Energy Ministry (MME) refused the Companys application, on the grounds that the application was made outside the time limits set by Law 12783/13.
On June 20, 2013, Cemig GT obtained an interim injunction in its application to the Higher Appeal Court (Superior Tribunal de Justiça, or STJ) for order of mandamus No. 20.432/2013, against the decision of the MME not to entertain the application for extension of the period of concession of the Jaguara plant (424MW capacity, with average 336 MW assured offtake), which had an expiration date on August 28, 2013. The interim remedy, given by Reporting Justice Sérgio Kukina, ensured that Cemig GT would continue to operate the concession for the Jaguara plant until final judgment in the action. On August 23, 2013, Reporting Justice Sérgio Kukina ruled that the application for mandamus had failed.
On August 30, 2013 the STJ granted an interim order, published on September 3, 2013, in a new application for mandamus in the STJ, against the decision by the Mining and Energy Ministry which, in a dispatch published on August 23, 2013, refused, on its merits, the application by Cemig GT for extension of the concession of the Jaguara Plant under its Concession Agreement. This interim order gave Cemig GT the right to remain in control of the Jaguara Plant, commercially operating the public service concession granted to it, until final judgment of the case.
On June 24, 2015 the judgment on the application for mandamus brought by Cemig GT was completed. With all the votes given by the Justices of the first Section of the STJ, the applications made by Cemig GT were defeated by six judgment votes to 2.
On September 22, 2015, Cemig GT filed a further action, for Provisional Remedy, with the Federal Supreme Court (Supremo Tribunal Federal, or STF), to maintain ownership of the concession for the Jaguara plant, on the initial bases of the concession agreement.
On November 3, 2015, the Reporting Justice of the Federal Supreme Court published a Dispatch requesting a position from the parties on their interest in holding a reconciliation hearing, due to the complexity and importance of the debate on the subject in the action for Provisional Remedy. On November 4, 2015, Cemig filed a statement with the Court stating its interest in such a hearing.
On December 21, 2015, Supreme Court Justice Dias Toffoli, rapporteur of the case, granted the application for interim injunction made by the Company, to suspend the effects of the judgment of the First Section of the STJ, and keep Cemig GT in possession of the concession to operate the Jaguara plant, on the initial bases of the concession agreement, until such time as the Supreme Court might make a decision to the contrary. On February 1, 2016, the decision granting the application for interim injunction applied for was published.
76
On February 15, 2016 the Panel Judgment of the STJ was published, containing the decision of the First Section of that Court, which refused to grant mandamus and refused the Special Appeal.
On February 22, 2016, in the STF, the Reporting Justice issued a Dispatch extending continuity of the Reconciliation Hearing between Cemig GT and the federal government; the parties are currently awaiting a further dispatch to set a new date for continuation of that hearing, begun on December 15, 2015.
On March 1, 2016 the Company filed an Ordinary Appeal with the STJ against the panel judgment of February 15, 2016, and on April 11, 2016 the Justice Deputy Chair of the STJ issued a decision accepting that this Ordinary Appeal should be heard, and ordered it to be submitted to the STF.
On March 21, 2017 the Federal Supreme Court revoked the interim order given in the case in which Cemig GT is requesting suspension, until final judgment on the Ordinary Appeal by the Supreme Court, of the effects of the judgment of the First Section of the Supreme Court which refused to grant an order to maintain Cemig GTs ownership of the concession for the Jaguara Plant on the initial bases of Concession Contract 007/97. The judgment remitted the case records to the office of the Procurator-General of the Republic (PGR), for that body to state its opinion.
On December 31, 2016 the asset, at book value of R$ 41, is posted in PP&E, and in 2016 the Company recognized the plants revenues from sales of power supply, and operational costs, since it remained in control of the asset during this period.
On March 29, 2017 Cemig GT filed an Internal Appeal against the decision that repealed the remedy, requesting a revision of judgment, to allow cognizance to be taken of a Special Appeal.
The São Simão hydroelectric plant
On June 3, 2014, the Company filed a request for extension of the concession of the São Simão Hydroelectric Plant, since it believes that the concession contract for this plant is not subject to the new rules created by Provisional Measure 579 (which became Law 12783/2013).
On August 5, 2014, the Council of Aneel decided to recommend to the Mining and Energy Ministry (MME) that renewal of the concession for the São Simão plant should be refused.
On August 29, 2014, the Mining and Energy Minister decided to refuse the request for extension of the period of concession of the São Simão plant, based on Opinion 559/2014/CONJURMME/CGU/AGU.
77
On September 10, 2014, Cemig GT filed a Hierarchy Appeal with the MME, with request for reconsideration, for the Mining and Energy Minister to reconsider his decision and to grant the Companys request based only on the Concession Contract; and, successively, that the appeal should be sent to the President of the Republic, so that the President should issue a decision in favor of the Companys request in the same terms. This appeal is still pending, awaiting consideration by the MME.
Notwithstanding this, on December 15, 2014 Cemig GT filed an application for mandamus (No. 21465/DF), with the Higher Appeal Court (STJ), requesting interim relief, against an illegal act by the Mining and Energy Minister, violating net and certain right of the plaintiff, for the purpose of obtaining extension of the period of concession of the São Simão plant, based on the Concession Contract.
On December 17, 2014, Justice Mauro Campbell granted an interim order (published on December 19, 2014) that Cemig GT should remain in control of the plant, commercially operating the public service concession conceded to it, until the final judgment on application for mandamus governing the Jaguara plant, or until a re-examination of the remedy just refused.
When the judgment in the application for mandamus governing the Jaguara plant was concluded, with rejection of the application, the Reporting Justice revoked the interim remedy given in the Application for mandamus relating to the São Simão plant, the decision on which was published on June 30, 2015.
On July 3, 2015, Cemig GT filed a Special Appeal for retraction of the decision by the Reporting Justice, or, if the court should not be of that opinion, that the appeal referred to should be submitted to consideration by the First Section of the STJ, for an interim remedy ordering that the Company should continue to hold the concession for the São Simão Plant, on the initial bases of the Concession Contract.
On July 10, 2015, the Energy Planning and Development Department (Secretaria de Planejamento e Desenvolvimento Energético) sent an official letter to Cemig GT requiring it to state whether the Company would be interested in remaining in possession of the São Simão Plant, on the new bases of Law 12783/13, until its assumption by the winner of a new tender to be held, in view of the repeal of the interim remedy.
In response to this new event, on July 22, 2015 Cemig GT filed a petition with the Chair of the STJ requesting the application for retraction made within the Special Appeal, in such a way that, through reconsideration of the decision appealed against, an interim remedy should be granted, to keep the Company as holder of the concession of the São Simão Plant, on the initial basis of the Concession Agreement, until final judgment be given on this application for mandamus, or, subsidiarily, that, at least, suspension effect should be attributed to the Special Appeal.
78
On August 20, 2015 it was stated that the MME would take the necessary measures to designate Cemig GT as provider of electricity generation service through the São Simão plant, under the quota regime, on the basis that the revocation of the interim order given in the application for mandamus had immediate enforceability.
In response, Cemig GT stated interest in remaining responsible for the provision of the electricity generation service of the São Simão plant, but pointed out that there are doubts as to the type, and legal security, of this provision of services, since the matter was still pending court and administrative decisions.
The MME, by Ministerial Order 432/2015, published on September 15, 2015, designated Cemig GT as the party responsible for provision of electricity generation service through the São Simão plant, under the quota regime (being responsible for the operation and maintenance of the plant without, however, having the right to its output of electricity, which will be allocated to the Guaranteed Power Offtake Auctions) until the taking over of the concession by the winner of the auction.
Further, in the judiciary, Cemig GT filed a further application for mandamus, to Justice Mauro Campbell Marques, requesting an annulment of the act of coercion, and assertion of the interim remedy that authorized the applicant to remain in possession and operation of the concession of the São Simão plant, on the initial bases of the contract, until final judgment was given on the application for mandamus governing the São Simão plant or, subsidiarily, until the merit of the Special Appeal would be considered.
On September 8, 2015, the decision of the Reporting Justice (Justice Herman Benjamin) was published, refusing the application for interim remedy applied for by the Company.
Also on September 8, 2015, a Special Appeal was filed against the decision of Justice Herman Benjamin that refused the application for interim remedy that had been made. During the Session of the Special Court of the STJ, on November 4, 2015, the Special Appeal was unanimously refused, in the terms of the judgment of the Reporting Justice.
On November 25, 2015, the Special Appeal filed by Cemig GT against the decision that overturned the interim remedy, in application for mandamus N° 21.465/DF, was, unanimously, refused by the first Section of the STJ, the said Appeal Court Judgment being published on December 1, 2015, the judgment on the merits of this application for mandamus remaining to be heard.
On March 6, 2017 the STJ granted an interim remedy maintaining Cemig GT in possession of the concession to operate the São Simão plant on the initial terms of its Concession Contract 007/1997, until conclusion of the judgment of the Companys application for mandamus.
79
On March 28, 2017 the interim remedy was revoked in the case in which Cemig GT seeks, in the STJ, annulment of the decision of the Mining and Energy Ministry (MME) which refused, on its merits, the application by Cemig GT for extension of the period of concession of the São Simão hydro Plant, in the terms of its Concession Contract.
Considering the present status of the legal dispute, the Company:
◾ | recognized, up to the date of September 15, 2015, the operational revenues from sales of power supply and costs of this plant, in accordance with current accounting practices, in view of the fact that it remained in control of the asset up to that date; |
◾ | considering the requirements of Ministerial Order 432/2015, as from September 16, 2015, ceased to recognize the expenses of depreciation on the São Simão plant, and began to recognize revenues relating to the provision of services of operation and maintenance of the plant, in accordance with the regime of quotas; |
◾ | transferred, on September 16, 2015, the amount of R$ 220 from its PP&E to the account line Other long term assets, considering that it is still under decision in the Courts. Based on the terms of the concession agreement, this asset is considered as having a recovery value higher than the value at which it is recorded. |
Concession of the Miranda Hydroelectric Plant
On June 10, 2016, Cemig Geração e Transmissão filed application to the regulator, Aneel, to extend the period of the concession for the Miranda Hydroelectric Plant for 20 years. On July 12, 2016, Aneel, complying with the judgment vote of the Reporting Council Member in the case, José Jurhosa Junior, decided to submit the case to the Mining and Energy Ministry with the recommendation not to give cognizance to the request by Cemig Geração e Transmissão S.A. Cemig GT for extension of the period of concession of the Miranda Hydroelectric Plant, since that request was made outside the period stipulated by Law 12783/2013.
Cemig GT filed a request with the Concession-granting power requesting extension of the concession for the Miranda Hydroelectric Plant under Concession Contract 007/1997 this plant had a period of the concession expiring on December 23, 2016.
Considering that this request was not accepted by the Mining and Energy Ministry, Cemig GT applied to the Higher Appeal Court (STJ) for an interim remedy. This was granted on December 22, 2016, ordering that control of the Miranda hydroelectric plant should remain with the Company, on the initial bases of Concession Contract 007/1997, until completion of the judgment in the application for Mandamus made by the Company.
On December 31, 2016 the asset, with book value of R$ 756, is posted in PP&E, and in 2016 the Company recognized the revenue from sales of power supply, and operational costs, of this plant, since it remained in control of the asset during that period.
80
On March 29, 2017, the interim remedy (injunction) given in application for mandamus number 23.042/DF, before the Higher Appeal Court (STJ), brought by the Company to annul the decision by the Mining and Energy Ministry (MME) which refused, on merits Cemig GTs request for ratification of the extension of its concession for the Miranda Hydroelectric Plant, under its Concession Contract, number 007/97, was revoked.
Administrative proceedings Material Announcement of February 21, 2017
Subsidiarily to its request for extension for 20 years of the concessions of the Jaguara, São Simão and Miranda Hydroelectric Plants, the Company requested opening of an Administrative Proceeding under Paragraph 1-C of Article 8 of Law 12783/2013, in benefit of Cemig GT.
Paragraph 1-C was added to Article 8 of Law 12783, of 2013, by Law 13360, of November 17, 2016, and enables the federal government to grant a concession contract for electricity generation for a period of 30 (thirty) years when there is transfer of control of a legal entity that is already providing this service (in this case, one of the subsidiaries of Cemig GT), and is under direct or indirect control of an individual State, or the Federal District, or the municipality, provided that:
I the tender, which may be by auction or by competitive bidding, is held by the controlling shareholder on or before February 28, 2018; and
II the transfer of control takes place by June 30, 2018.
The subsidiary request was made on the grounds of the spirit of conciliation and cooperation that should govern the relationship between a concession holder and the concession-granting power, and the constant quest, at all times, for alternatives that present the best solution for consumers, for the country and for the shareholders of the Company who in this case include the people of the state of Minas Gerais.
Thus, in the event that the Ministry decides to maintain its position, and if all the court judgments that have determined that Law 12783/2013 should prevail to the detriment of the provisions of the Second Subclause of Clause 4 of Contract CEMIG 007 of 1997 are maintained, Cemig GT has requested, for the benefit of one of its subsidiaries, application of the rule that is now contained in §1-C of Article 8 of Law 12783 of 2013.
We would point out that the presentation of the Subsidiary Request does not result in any waiver by Cemig GT of its right which is the subject of the legal actions that it currently has in progress against the federal government that is to say its right to guaranteed extension of the concessions as specified in Clause 4 of Concession Contract 007/1997.
81
On the same date the Company filed with the MME a response to the formal question as to its interest in remaining as provider of electricity generation service after the ending of the concession period of the Volta Grande Hydroelectric Plant, which took place on February 23, 2017. In this response, and adding a request of its own, the Company stated its interest in remaining responsible for the provision of electricity generation service by this hydroelectric plant, and also requested opening of an administrative proceeding for the purposes of §1-C of Article 8 of Law 12783/2013, also to the benefit of one of the service providing subsidiaries of Cemig GT.
Management continues to be confident of its right in relation to the Jaguara, São Simão and Miranda plants, supported by a contractual clause, by the legislation in force, and by opinions issued by renowned jurists. The Companys internal and external legal advisers have categorized the chance of success in the court dispute as possible.
Transmission concessions
Under its transmission concession contracts, the Company is authorized to charge the Tariff for Use of the Transmission System (Tarifa de Uso do Sistema de Transmissão, or TUST). Tariffs are adjusted annually on the same date as the adjustments of the Permitted Annual Revenue (Receitas Anuais Permitidas, or RAP) of the holders of transmission concessions. This tariff period starts on July 1 of the year of publication of the tariffs and runs until June 30 of the subsequent year.
The service of transport of large quantities of electricity for long distances, in Brazil, is provided by a network of transmission lines and substations operating at a voltage of 230kV or higher, referred to technically as the Basic Grid (Rede Básica), or National Grid.
Any agent of the electricity sector that produces or consumes electricity has the right to use the National Grid, as does the consumer, provided certain technical and legal requirements are met. This is referred to as Open Access, and in Brazil is guaranteed by law and by the regulator, Aneel.
The payment for use of transmission service also applies to generation provided by Itaipu Binacional. However, due to the legal characteristics of that plant, the corresponding charges are assumed by a number of holders of distribution concessions that hold quotas of its output.
For the newer transmission concessions granted after the year 2000 the portion of the assets that will not be used up during the concession is recorded as a financial asset, because there is an unconditional right to receive cash or other financial assets directly from the grantor at the end of the concession agreement period.
82
For the older transmission concessions, granted before the year 2000, renewals have been applied for as from January 1, 2013 in accordance with Law 12783, under which the assets are the property of the Concession-granting Power, and the Company is remunerated, as from 2013, for the operation and maintenance of these assets.
Distribution of electricity concessions
Cemig D has the concession from Aneel for commercial exploration of the activity of distribution of electricity in the greater part of the State of Minas Gerais, expiring in December 2045.
As determined by the concession contract, all assets and facilities that are linked to the provision of the distribution service and which have been created by the concession holder are considered reversible and part of the assets of the related concession. These assets are automatically reverted to the Grantor at the end of the contract, and are then valued to determine the amount of the indemnity payable to the concession holder, subject to the amounts and the dates on which they were incorporated into the electricity system.
The Company does not have obligations to make payment in compensation for commercial operation of the distribution concessions, but is required to comply with requirements related to quality, and investments made, in accordance with the concession contract.
The concession contracts, and the Brazilian legislation, establish a mechanism of maximum prices that allows for three types of adjustment to tariffs: (i) an annual tariff adjustment; (ii) periodic review of tariffs; and (iii) extraordinary reviews.
Each year the Company has the right to request the annual adjustment, the purpose of which is to compensate for the effects of inflation on the tariffs, and to allow for certain changes in costs that are outside the Companys control to be passed through to clients for example the cost of electricity purchased for resale, and sector charges, including charges for the use of the transmission and distribution facilities.
Also, Aneel makes a Periodic Review of tariffs every five years, which aims to identify changes in the Companys costs, and to establish a factor based on scale gains, which will be applied in the annual tariff adjustments, for the purpose of sharing such gains with the Companys consumers.
The Company also has the right to request an extraordinary review of tariffs, in the event that any unforeseen development significantly alters the economic-financial equilibrium of the concession. The Periodic Review and the Extraordinary Review are subject, to a certain degree, to the discretion of Aneel, although there are pre-established rules for each cycle of revision. When the Company requests an annual tariff adjustment, it becomes necessary to prove the resulting financial impact of these events on operations.
83
Under the distribution concession contracts, the Company is authorized to charge consumers a tariff consisting of two components: (i) One part relating to electricity purchased for resale, charges for use of the transmission grid and charges for use of the distribution system that are not under its control (Portion A costs); and (ii) a portion relating to operating costs (Portion B costs).
Renewal of concessions
On December 21, 2015 the Company signed, with the Mining and Energy Ministry, the Fifth Amendment to its concession contracts, extending its electricity distribution concessions for a further 30 years, as from January 1, 2016.
The principal characteristics and terms of the Amendment are as follows:
◾ | The annual tariff adjustment will take place on May 28 of each year, the first to be in 2016. For this first adjustment the rules specified in the previous concession contract will be applied. For the subsequent tariff adjustments the rules in Clause 6 of the Amendment will be applied. |
◾ | Limitation of distribution of dividends and/or payment of Interest on Equity to the minimum established by law, if there is non-compliance with the annual indicators for outages for two consecutive years, or for three in any five years, until the regulatory parameters are restored. |
◾ | Requirement for injections of capital from the controlling shareholder in an amount sufficient to meet the minimum conditions for economic and financial sustainability. |
◾ | Subject to the right to full defense and right of reply, for the concession to be maintained, compliance is required with efficiency criteria for continuity of supply and for economic and financial management, as follows: (i) for five years from January 1, 2016, any non-compliance for two consecutive years, or non-compliance with any of the conditions at the end of five years, will result in extinction of the concession; (ii) as from January 1, 2021, any non-compliance for three consecutive years with the criteria of efficiency in continuity of supply, or for two consecutive years with the criteria of efficiency in economic and financial management, will result in proceedings to establish expiration of the concession. |
Distribution of gas concessions
The concessions for distribution of natural gas are given by Brazilian states, and in the state of Minas Gerais the tariffs for natural gas are set by the regulatory body, the States Economic Development Secretariat, by market segment. The tariffs comprise a portion for the cost of gas and a portion for the distribution of gas. Every quarter the tariffs are adjusted to pass through the cost of gas, and once a year they are adjusted to update the portion allocated to cover the costs relating to the provision of the distribution service remuneration of invested capital and to cover all the operating, commercial and administrative expenses of the concession holder.
In addition to these adjustments, in April 2015 the Economic Development Secretariat sent Gasmig Official Letter SEDE/GAB/Nº303/2014 stating the timetable set for the first Tariff Review cycle. The decision process is still in progress; the latest estimated date for its completion is the beginning of the second half of 2017. These reviews occur every five years, to evaluate the changes in the costs of the Company, and to adapt the tariffs. The Concession Contract also specifies the possibility of an extraordinary review of tariffs if any event occurs that puts the economic-financial balance of the Concession at risk.
On December 26, 2014 the Second Amendment to the Concession Contract was signed by Gasmig and the Minas Gerais State Government, extending by 30 years the period of concession in which Gasmig may commercially operate the services of industrial, commercial, institutional and residential piped gas in the state of Minas Gerais. The expiration date of the contract is thus now extended from January 10, 2023 to January 10, 2053.

5. | OPERATING SEGMENTS |
The operating segments of Cemig reflect the structure of the regulatory framework for the Brazilian electricity sector, with different legislation for the sectors of generation, transmission and distribution of electricity. The Company also operates in gas, telecommunications, and other businesses, which have a smaller impact on the results from its operations.
These segments are reflected in the Companys management, organizational structure, and monitoring of results. In accordance with the regulatory framework of the Brazilian electricity sector, there is no segmentation by geographical area.
