PROPOSAL BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS TO BE HELD ON 16 SEPTEMBER 2004
Dear Stockholders:
Whereas:
a) For Cemig to adapt to the new model for the electricity sector, established by Law 10848 of 15 March 2004, a stockholding restructuring is necessary;
b) the stockholding reorganization currently in progress provides for the constitution of two wholly-owned subsidiaries, one for Generation and Transmission, and one for Distribution, with Cemig maintaining the role of holding company, and stockholding control of the two companies to be created;
c) for the transfer of assets to the wholly-owned subsidiaries which will be constituted it is necessary to contract a technical expert or specialized company for the preparation of a Statement of Valuation, which states reasons, of all the assets of Cemig, related to the activities of generation, transmission and distribution of electricity;
d) since Cemig is a company with mixed private-public-sector stockholdings, this contracting was preceded by a tender process, in view of Law 8666/93, and the Executive Officers were authorized to start the administrative process of tender, and to contract services of Valuation of Assets and Physical-Accounting Reconciliation of the Assets of Cemig for the purpose of the process of “unbundling” (“de-verticalization”) of the Company;
e) the company Serviços Técnicos de Avaliações do Patrimônio e Engenharia S/C Ltda. was declared winner of the said tender; and
f) in conformity with Article 8 of Law 6404/76, as amended, the company specialized in valuation of assets must be appointed by the General Meeting of Stockholders;
The Board of Directors proposes to submit to the approval of the Extraordinary General Meeting of Stockholders a proposal for appointment of the company Setape – Serviços Técnicos de Avaliações do Patrimônio e Engenharia S/C Ltda. to provide services of Valuation of Assets and Physical-Accounting Reconciliation of the Assets of Cemig, as provided for by Law 6404/76, as amended, and the valuation assessment to be produced by the company will be used in the transfer of the assets to the wholly-owned subsidiaries which will be constituted to effect the stockholding reorganization of the Company.
As can be seen, the objective of this proposal is to serve the legitimate interests of the stockholders of the Company, for which reason the Board of Directors expects that it will be approved by you, the stockholders.
Belo Horizonte, 26 August 2004.
