For 24 consecutive years, Cemig has been part of DJSI World, since its creation in 1999.

 

Cemig remains as the only company in the electricity sector outside Europe to be part of the index, in its 2023/2024 edition, together with 7 European companies.

 

DJSI World is an index composed of shares from the largest companies in the world that, within their different economic sectors, stand out for their sustainability-driven performance and their adaptation to market trends, being capable of creating shareholder value in the medium and long term. The index composition is annually renewed and is a world reference for investors and international financial agencies that use the index to make socially responsible investment decisions. The new composition of DJSI World gathers 256 companies from several countries chosen among more than 3,000 pre-selected companies from different economic sectors.

 

The companies were evaluated based on a survey and public information. The selection was conducted by S&P Dow Jones Indices (“S&P DJI”), an institution specialized in asset management and offer of products and services related to sustainable investments, and the entire process is audited by Deloitte.

 

Remaining in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index for 24 consecutive years reiterates Cemig’s commitment to continue using sustainable practices in its relationship with employees and suppliers, creating value for its shareholders and contributing to the well-being of society.

 

Further details on the socio-environmental practices adopted by Cemig are available in the sustainability reports at www.cemig.com.br.

The redemption represented a reduction of R$1,823,400,000.00 (one billion, eight hundred and twenty-three million and four hundred thousand reais) in the Company’s gross debt, substantially reducing its exposure in U.S. dollars.

 

Thus, the outstanding balance of the Notes, maturing in December 2024, is now US$381,000,000.00 (three hundred and eighty-one million U.S. dollars).

 

This Material Fact is merely informative and shall not, under any circumstance, be construed as an offer to purchase or solicitation of an offer for the sale of the Notes in any jurisdiction in which an offer to purchase or solicitation of an offer for a sale is prohibited, under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction, including Brazil. The redemption was exclusively carried out to investors in the foreign market and shall not be registered with the CVM or offered in Brazil.

 

Cemig and Cemig GT reaffirm their commitment to keeping the market timely informed of the matter contained in this Material Fact, according to applicable law and regulation. Any communication to shareholders and the market in general relating to the Notes will be made on the websites of CVM (www.cvm.gov.br), B3 – Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão S.A.
