Summary of events:

 

 

 

I -

 

The Chairman told the meeting:

 

 

 

 

 

a)

that the Extraordinary General Meeting of stockholders, reopened on January 12, 2006, at 2 p.m., the purpose of which was homologation of the Fourth Amendment to the Contract to Assign the Outstanding Balance on the CRC (Results Compensation) Account signed between the state of Minas Gerais and Cemig had been adjourned, so that a new version of that document produced on the basis of the suggestions presented by members of the Board and various stockholders, to improve the bases of the renegotiation in accordance with the company’s Long-Term Strategic Plan and agreed between the stockholder State of Minas Gerais and minority stockholders of the company, could be submitted to consideration and decision by this Board; and

 

 

 

 

 

b)

that the payment of extraordinary dividends in fact has no relationship with the desire or needs of the stockholder State of Minas Gerais, which has a surplus in its accounts, and does not need such payment to meet budget demands, and is in no way pressing for the declaration of the extraordinary dividend, pointing out that the payment of such dividends was approved directly by this Board on a proposal from Cemig’s management. However, in view of the contrary statements of opinion presented by some of the members of the Board at the time of approval of this matter, he asked the Board members if they would agree that the subject should be submitted to a new decision, and all those present stated themselves to be in favor of his suggestion.

 

 

 

 

II —

 

The Board approved the minutes of that meeting.

 

 

 

 

III —

 

The Board ratified the declaration of extraordinary dividends approved by the meeting held on December 7, 2005, in the amount of R$ 897 million, authorizing the payment to be made in a single installment on January 27, 2006, it being the duty of the Executive Board to comply with this, and to determine the place and processes of the payment, which shall be payable to stockholders who are on the company’s Nominal Share Register on January 16, 2006; the validity of the declaration of dividends being conditional upon homologation by the General Meeting of Stockholders of the decision of the Board of Directors concerning the signature of the new version of the Fourth Amendment to the Contract to Assign the Outstanding Balance on the CRC (Results Compensation) Account between Cemig and the State of Minas Gerais. The assignment of the CRC credits to the Credit Receivables Investment Fund (IDC) has been authorized in accordance with the

 

3



 

 

proposal relating to the Fourth Amendment re-examined and approved by this Board on the date of this meeting.

 

 

 

 

IV —

 

The Board re-ratified CRCA-073/2005, authorizing the signature of the new version of the Fourth Amendment to the Contract to Assign the Outstanding Balance on the CRC (Results Compensation) Account, and also submitted to the Extraordinary General Meeting of Stockholders a proposal for the homologation of the authorization to enter into the new version of this Fourth Amendment.

 

 

 

 

V —

 

The Board member Alexandre Heringer Lisboa abstained from voting on the matter relating to the declaration of extraordinary dividends mentioned in item III above.
