Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Centrais Elétricas Brasileiras S.A. – Eletrobras describes a proposal to migrate its listed vehicle AXIA Energia to B3’s Novo Mercado, Brazil’s highest corporate governance segment. Novo Mercado requires a single share class with full voting rights and stronger transparency standards.

The plan would convert Class A1 and B1 preferred shares (PNA1 and PNB1), which currently receive dividends at least 10% higher than common shares, into common shares at a proposed exchange of 1 preferred share for 1.1 common shares. The company highlights expected benefits such as unified voting (one share, one vote), potentially greater share liquidity, simplified capital structure, and the possibility of attracting new investors, while noting alternative scenarios if PNA1 holders do not approve conversion.

Insights

Eletrobras outlines a share-class conversion to support Novo Mercado migration.

Eletrobras presents a migration of AXIA Energia to B3’s Novo Mercado with a consolidation of share classes. PNA1 and PNB1 preferred shares, which today enjoy dividend priority and at least a 10% premium over common shares, would be converted into common at a 1.1 common for 1 preferred ratio.

This structure seeks to balance loss of dividend preference with improved political rights, since Novo Mercado operates on a one-share-one-vote basis. The company also notes current liquidity differences, with common and Class C preferred shares included in the Ibovespa index, while PNA has no liquidity and PNB has limited index weight.

The proposal is contingent on approvals at the Extraordinary General Meeting and the special preferred meetings. The material also shows an alternative in which PNA1 remains outstanding but gains voting rights under a B3 waiver, illustrating that final capital structure will depend on how each shareholder class votes at these meetings.

FAQ

What is Eletrobras (EBR) proposing in this 6-K regarding Novo Mercado?

Eletrobras describes a plan to migrate AXIA Energia to B3’s Novo Mercado segment. This involves unifying share classes, strengthening governance standards, and giving all shareholders full voting rights, subject to approvals at an Extraordinary General Meeting and special preferred shareholder meetings.

How will Eletrobras (EBR) convert PNA1 and PNB1 preferred shares into common shares?

The proposal converts each PNA1 or PNB1 preferred share into 1.1 common shares. This exchange ratio is designed to recognize preferred holders’ current dividend premium, who today receive at least 10% more dividends than common and Class C preferred shareholders under the existing capital structure.

What dividend rights do Eletrobras (EBR) preferred shares currently have?

PNA preferred shares carry an 8% annual priority dividend on that class’s capital, and PNB carries 6%, with both receiving at least 10% more dividends than common and Class C preferred shares. They also benefit from 100% tag-along protection under the current structure.

Why does Eletrobras (EBR) highlight B3’s Novo Mercado segment in this document?

Novo Mercado is described as B3’s highest corporate governance level, concentrating 55% of daily trading volume and 190 companies. Listing there requires a single voting share class, strict transparency rules, and is presented as a way to enhance liquidity and appeal to new investors.

What happens if Eletrobras PNA1 shareholders do not approve the conversion proposal?

If the special meeting of PNA1 shareholders does not approve conversion, PNA1 shares would remain in the capital structure. In that case, they would receive voting rights in line with a B3 waiver, rather than being converted into common shares under the proposed 1.1-for-1 structure.

What broader goals does Eletrobras (EBR) link to the Novo Mercado migration?

The company connects the migration to a trajectory of institutional evolution, citing advances in governance and management and changes in Brazil’s power and capital markets. It emphasizes simplified shareholding, greater liquidity, one-share-one-vote, and potential attraction of new investors after the restructuring.
