Dear Investor Relations Officer,

Engie Brasil Energia (EGIE3.SA) is interested in the acquisition of the remaining 10% stake of Petrobras (PETR4.SA) in the gas pipeline company TAG and also has the financial capacity for the business, Eduardo Sattamini, the company's chief financial officer said this Thursday.

[...]

'Our cash flow shows we have enough cash on hand for the acquisition...TAG itself makes a quarterly payout of dividends which should also help the company cover this eventual disbursement', said Sattamini, during a video conference with investors and analysts.

  • 2. In this respect, we request the Company's confirmation as to the veracity of the report, and if in the affirmative, the explanation as to the reasons it was not considered necessary to disclose the information in the form of a material notice as well as to comment on other information considered important on the issue.

  • 3. The reply should be made through the Sistema Empresa.NET category: Announcement to the Market, type: Clarifications on inquiries from the CVM/B3, reference: Report Published in the Media, in which a transcription of the official letter must be included. The reply to this request with a declaration through an Announcement to the Market does not exempt an eventual investigation as to the responsibility for failure to disclose a Material Notice in a timely fashion pursuant to CVM Instruction 358/02.

  • 4. We would notify you that by order of the Superintendecy of Company Relations, in the use of its legal powers and pursuant to subsection II, Article 9 to Law 6.385/76, and CVM Instruction 608/19, a penalty fine in the amount of R$ 1,000.00 (one thousand Brazilian reais) shall be levied without prejudice to other administrative sanctions for non-compliance with the request in the official letter, sent exclusively by e-mail, by June 29, 2020

Company Response:

With respect to the above-mentioned report and published information, ENGIE Brasil Energia

("EBE", "ENGIE" or "Company") clarifies as follows:

1.

At a Board of Directors Meeting (BDM) held on May 14, 2020, approval was given for the participation in the process for the acquisition of a shareholding stake of 10% in the capital stock of Transportadora Associada de Gás S.A. ("TAG"), in partnership with another investor of the ENGIE Group together with third parties which make up the investor group ("Investor Group"), the minutes having been duly filed with the CVM and disclosed to the market on May 15, 2020;

  • 2. The financial capacity to acquire, jointly, 10% of TAG can be readily seen in the robustness of our account statements in relation to the estimated amount of the transaction for EBE, which would correspond to 29.25% of the total cost of the acquisition;

  • 3. As pointed out in the aforementioned conference call, the Company continues to pursue the acquisition process, which is currently part of the divestment program initiated by Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. - Petrobras on December 11, 2019, further noting that up to the present no binding contractual obligations exist in this context.

In the light of the foregoing, the information cannot be deemed as either new or material sufficient to require disclosure to the market and which has not already been published in the appropriate manner as required by the applicable legislation.

ENGIE reiterates its commitment to the highest degree of transparency and governance and remains ready to provide any further clarification which may be required.

Florianópolis, June 29, 2020
