Companhia Paranaense de Energia (Copel) reports updated bylaws approved at its 212th Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders. The bylaws set the corporate purpose around researching, producing, transporting, distributing and trading energy, and related infrastructure and telecommunications activities, in Brazil and abroad. Share capital is described as R$12,831,618,938.25, divided into 2,982,810,590 common book-entry shares and 1 special class preferred share held by the State of Paraná.

The State of Paraná’s special preferred share grants veto power over specified matters, such as changes to the corporate name, headquarters location, voting caps, and minimum investment levels for the distribution subsidiary.
The bylaws also define dividend and interest-on-equity distribution of at least 25% of adjusted net income, conditions for capital increases up to 4,000,000,000 shares, rules for related-party approvals, and use of indemnity, insurance and legal defense for managers. They incorporate Novo Mercado requirements, including public tender offers in change-of-control situations and mandatory offers at premium prices if a shareholder or group surpasses 25% or 50% of voting capital, and adopt mandatory arbitration at the Market Arbitration Chamber for corporate disputes.
