The Company hereby informs its shareholders and the market in general that received, on June 20, 2016, the Official Letters of the Comissão de Valores Mobiliários ("CVM") No. 271/2016/CVM/SEP/GEA-1 and No. 272/2016/CVM/SEP/GEA-1, requesting clarification regarding the news released, respectively, on Radar Online column of Veja magazine, under the title "Eletrobras paid nearly 200 million by corruption investigations", and the column of Ricardo Boechat, on Isto é Magazine, under the title: "Energy: short circuit", as transcribed by the end Market Announcement.

In response to the Official Letters in question, the Company clarifies the following:

  1. The value of Hogan' Lovells contract, mentioned by "Veja magazine" is a reference to the maximum value of the contract of the independent investigation service, being conducted by that law firm, previously published in the Official Gazette, as all other services hired by Eletrobras, according to Law 8,666/93. The actual amount to be paid to the mentioned office shall be determined in light of the work that may be performed under the final scope of the ongoing investigation.

  2. Regarding the matter disclosed by "Isto é Magazine", the Company clarifies that does not know any value that may be ascertained at this time, given that the independent investigation of the Belo Monte project is ongoing, on a confidential basis, without issuing any report, heretofore, regarding values;

    Thus, there is no new fact that should be disclosed to the market, since the information regarding the hiring of Hogan Lovells to carry out the independent investigation, as well as the hiring of members of the Independent Commission for Investigation Management, have been the subject of several Market Announcements previously disclosed by the Company.
