ANNOUNCEMENT TO THE MARKET
TRACTEBEL ENERGIA S.A., a publicly listed company with
registered offices in the city of Florianópolis in the state
of Santa Catarina at Rua Paschoal Apóstolo Pítsica, 5064,
enrolled in the corporate tax register (CNPJ) under number
02.474.103/0001-19 ("Tractebel"), and pursuant to the
provisions of CVM Instruction 358/2002, wishes to notify its
shareholders and the market at large that through an
announcement to the press ("Announcement"), published on
April 16, 2012 by its indirect controlling company, GDF SUEZ
S.A. ("GDF SUEZ"), the offer price to acquire the 30% stake
it does not already own in International Power plc
("International Power") was revised to 418 pence sterling per
share and the offer has been unanimously approved by the
International Power independent board members. This amount
is, therefore, higher than the 390 (three hundred and ninety)
pence sterling per share offered in the Indicative Proposal
announced to the market by Tractebel on March 30,
2012.
According to the GDF SUEZ, the transaction will be structured
as a "Scheme of Arrangement" under the UK regulatory
framework, which facilitates a shorter timetable with a
targeted closing date mid-July 2012. In case of a favorable
vote from International Power minority shareholders, GDF SUEZ
will own 100% of International Power shares after the
transaction closing.
