CEMIG Geracão e Transmissão S.A. Announces Early Tender Date Results of its Cash Tender Offer for its 9.250% Senior Notes due 2024

BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil, July 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- CEMIG Geração e Transmissão S.A. ("CEMIG"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais ("CEMIG Holding"), today announced the early tender date results of its previously announced offer (the "Offer") to purchase for cash up to the Maximum Amount (as defined below) of its outstanding 9.250% Senior Notes due 2024 (the "Notes"). When used in this press release, the terms "we," "us" and "our" refer collectively to CEMIG and CEMIG Holding, in each case, unless the context otherwise requires.

The Offer is being made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated July 19, 2021 (the "Offer to Purchase"). This press release is qualified in its entirety by the Offer to Purchase.

As of 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on July 30, 2021 (the "Early Tender Date"), according to information received from D.F. King & Co., Inc., the information and tender agent for the Offer, U.S.$774,182,000, or approximately 51.61% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding, of the Notes was validly tendered, and not validly withdrawn.

The following table sets forth the principal amount of the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn, as well as the principal amount of Notes accepted after giving effect to the Maximum Amount and proration (as described below).

Since the purchase of all Notes validly tendered in the Offer on or prior to the Early Tender Date would cause CEMIG to purchase an aggregate principal amount of Notes in excess of the Maximum Amount, CEMIG will accept such tendered Notes on a prorated basis.

The Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on August 13, 2021, unless earlier terminated or extended by CEMIG (such time and date, as the same may be extended, the "Expiration Date"). However, the Maximum Amount has been reached in respect of tenders of Notes made on or prior to the Early Tender Date and, accordingly, CEMIG does not expect to accept for purchase any Notes that are validly tendered after the Early Tender Date in the Offer.

All Notes not accepted as a result of proration will be rejected from the Offer and promptly returned to the tendering Holder.

Holders who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw Notes in the Offer at or prior to the Early Tender Date will be eligible to receive the total consideration of U.S.$ 1,162.50 per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Notes tendered and accepted (the "Total Consideration"), which includes an early tender premium of U.S.$50.00 per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered and accepted.

In addition to the Total Consideration, holders whose Notes are validly tendered and accepted for purchase in the Offer will also receive accrued and unpaid interest from, and including, the last interest payment date to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date (as defined below).

The settlement date for the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn on or before the Early Tender Date and accepted for purchase (the "Early Settlement Date") is expected to be August 5, 2021.

The deadline for holders of Notes to validly withdraw tenders of Notes has passed. Accordingly, Notes tendered at or before the Early Tender Date may not be withdrawn or revoked, except as required by applicable law.

CEMIG's obligation to accept for purchase, and pay for, Notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, subject to proration, was conditioned upon the satisfaction or waiver by CEMIG of a number of conditions described in the Offer to Purchase, which have been satisfied.

CEMIG has the right, in its sole discretion, to amend or terminate the Offer at any time, subject to applicable law.

We have retained Banco Bradesco BBI S.A., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Santander Investment Securities Inc. to serve as dealer managers and D.F. King & Co., Inc. to serve as information and tender agent for the Offer. Requests for the Offer to Purchase and any related supplements may also be directed to D.F.
