COMPANHIA ENERGÉTICA DE MINAS GERAIS - CEMIG LISTED COMPANY - CNPJ 17.155.730/0001-64 - NIRE 31300040127
In accordance with CVM Instruction 358 of January 3, 2002, as amended, Cemig (Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais), a listed company with securities traded on the stock exchanges of São Paulo, New York and Madrid, hereby reports to the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM), the São Paulo Stock Exchange (BM&F Bovespa S.A.) and the market in general as follows:
On today's date, Brazil's Federal Supreme Court (STF) granted an interim judgement in Application for Provisional Remedy No. 3980/DF brought against the Brazilian federal government by Cemig's wholly-owned subsidiary Cemig GT (Cemig Geração e Transmissão S.A.).
This Application seeks suspension of the effects of the judgement given by the First Section of the Higher Appeal Court which refused to grant the order of mandamus requested in Application for Mandamus No. 20.432/DF.
That application for mandamus had asked the court to uphold and maintain Cemig's possession of the concession to operate the Jaguara Hydroelectric Plant, under the initial terms of Concession Contract 007/97 until final judgement of the Ordinary Appeal in progress before the Supreme Court.
The interim judgement was given by Justice Dias Toffoli in the following terms: "Since the two preconditions required for grant of this measure are present, I grant the interim remedy that is applied for. The remedy that I now give suspends the effects of the judgment given by the first Section of the Higher Appeal Court which refused Application for Mandamus 20.432/DF. Thus this present order maintains Cemig in possession of ownership of the concession for the Jaguara Plant, on the basis of the initial terms of Concession Contract 007/97, until any decision to the contrary by this court".
Cemig also informs the public that the conciliation hearing scheduled by Justice Dias Toffoli to take place on December 15, 2015, was suspended at the request of the parties and rescheduled for February 16, 2016, due to "the complexity and importance of the arguments put forward in this case, and also the need to encourage voluntary settlement between parties in the courts".
The judgement given today (interim relief in Action for Provisional Remedy No. 3980/DF) is by its very nature temporary and not final: the company will keep its stockholders and the market opportunity and appropriately informed on the progress of this case.
