BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
TO THE
EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON
APRIL 30, 2015
Dear Stockholders:
The Board of Directors of Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais (Cemig)
whereas:
a) | in its management of the Company and in the exercise of the right to vote in the wholly-owned subsidiaries, subsidiaries, affiliated companies and consortia, the Board of Directors and the Executive Board are required at all times faithfully to comply with certain targets, as stated in Clause 11, § 7, of the Companys by-laws: |
| to keep the Companys consolidated indebtedness less than or equal to 2 (two) times the Companys Ebitda (profit before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization); and |
| to keep Consolidated (Net debt) / (Net debt + Stockholders equity) within an upper limit of 40%; |
| to limit the consolidated amount of funds allocated to capital investment and acquisition of any assets in each business year to the equivalent of 40% of Ebitda (profit before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization); |
b) | under Clause 11, § 9 of the by-laws, targets for indicators may be exceeded for reasons related to temporarily prevailing conditions, upon prior justification by grounds and specific approval by the Board of Directors, up to the following limits: |
| Consolidated indebtedness less than or equal to 2.5 times Ebitda (profit before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization); and |
| Consolidated (Net debt) / (Net debt + Stockholders equity): maximum of 50%; |
c) | above these limits, including the case of limitation of (Consolidated funds allocated to capital investment and acquisition of any assets) to 40% of Ebitda (profit before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), the targets may be exceeded upon prior justification with grounds and specific approval by the stockholders in a General Meeting of Stockholders; |
d) | in 2014, the Company took opportunities that arose for expansion of its activities and invested approximately R$ 4.3 billion, principally through Cemig Geração e Transmissão S.A., among which the subscription of capital totaling R$ 1.5 billion in Renova Energia S.A. was of special importance; |
e) | to finance this volume of investments and the expenses budget, and with, among other reasons, the increase in the cost of electricity purchased, the Company increased its indebtedness by approximately R$ 4.1 billion, to R$ 13.5 billion at the end of 2014; |

7
f) | in relation to 2014, the Board of Directors decided to ratify exceeding of the limit for the consolidated debt ratio represented by (Net debt / (Net debt + Stockholders equity)) specified in Subclause b of § 7 of Clause 11, limited to 43%, as per Board Spending Decision (CRCA) 021/2014, of March 28, 2014; |
g) | further, in relation to 2014, the Board of Directors authorized exceeding of the limit contained in Subclause b of § 7 of Clause 7 of Article 11 of the Companys bylaws, limited to 45.7%, as per Board Spending Decision (CRCA) 099/2014, of November 10, 2014; |
h) | in 2014, the consolidated ratio of Net debt / (Net debt + Stockholders equity) was 50.75%, and thus above the percentage contained in the said CRCA 021/2014; |
i) | it is thus the competency of the Extraordinary General Meeting of Stockholders to decide on exceeding of the consolidated debt ratio (Net Debt / (Net debt + Stockholders equity)), since in 2014 it was above 50%; |
do now propose to you as follows:
Ratification of the limit contained in Subclause b of Paragraph 7 of Article 11 of the by-laws being exceeded in 2014, with a consolidated debt ratio, calculated as Net debt / (Net debt + Stockholders equity) of 50.75%.
As can be seen, the objective of this proposal is to meet legitimate interests of the stockholders and of the Company, and as a result it is the hope of the Board of Directors that it will be approved by the Stockholders.

PROPOSAL
BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
TO THE
EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON
APRIL 30, 2015
Dear Stockholders:
The Board of Directors of Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais (Cemig)
whereas:
a) | in its management of the Company and in the exercise of the right to vote in the wholly-owned subsidiaries, subsidiaries, affiliated companies and consortia, the Board of Directors and the Executive Board are required at all times faithfully to comply with certain targets, as stated in Clause 11, § 7, of the Companys by-laws: |
| to keep the Companys consolidated indebtedness less than or equal to 2 (two) times the Companys Ebitda (profit before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization); and |
| to keep Consolidated (Net debt) / (Net debt + Stockholders equity) within an upper limit of 40%; |
| to limit the consolidated amount of funds allocated to capital investment and acquisition of any assets in each business year to the equivalent of 40% of Ebitda (profit before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization); |
b) | under Clause 11, § 9 of the by-laws, targets for indicators may be exceeded for reasons related to temporarily prevailing conditions, upon prior justification by grounds and specific approval by the Board of Directors, up to the following limits: |
| Consolidated indebtedness less than or equal to 2.5 times Ebitda (profit before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization); and |
| Consolidated (Net debt) / (Net debt + Stockholders equity): maximum of 50%; |
c) | above these limits, including the case of limitation of (Consolidated funds allocated to capital investment and acquisition of any assets) to 40% of Ebitda (profit before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), the targets may be exceeded upon prior justification with grounds and specific approval by the stockholders in a General Meeting of Stockholders; |
d) | in 2014, the Company took opportunities that arose for expansion of its activities and invested approximately R$ 4.3 billion, principally through Cemig Geração e Transmissão S.A., among which the subscription of capital totaling R$ 1.5 billion in Renova Energia S.A. was of special importance; |
e) | to finance this volume of investments and the expenses budget, and with, among other reasons, the increase in the cost of electricity purchased, the Company increased its indebtedness by approximately R$ 4.1 billion, to R$ 13.5 billion at the end of 2014; |
f) | in relation to 2014, the Board of Directors decided to ratify exceeding of the limit for the consolidated debt ratio represented by (Net debt / (Net debt + Stockholders equity)) specified in Subclause b of § 7 of Clause 11, limited to 43%, as per Board Spending Decision (CRCA) 021/2014, of March 28, 2014; |

g) | further, in relation to 2014, the Board of Directors authorized exceeding of the limit contained in Subclause b of § 7 of Clause 7 of Article 11 of the Companys bylaws, limited to 45.7%, as per Board Spending Decision (CRCA) 099/2014, of November 10, 2014; |
h) | in 2014, the consolidated ratio of Net debt / (Net debt + Stockholders equity) was 50.75%, and thus above the percentage contained in the said CRCA 021/2014; |
i) | it is thus the competency of the Extraordinary General Meeting of Stockholders to decide on exceeding of the consolidated debt ratio (Net Debt / (Net debt + Stockholders equity)), since in 2014 it was above 50%; |
now proposes to you as follows:
Ratification of the limit contained in Subclause b of Paragraph 7 of Article 11 of the by-laws being exceeded in 2014, with a consolidated debt ratio, calculated as Net debt / (Net debt + Stockholders equity) of 50.75%.
As can be seen, the objective of this proposal is to meet legitimate interests of the stockholders and of the Company, and as a result it is the hope of the Board of Directors that it will be approved by the Stockholders.

c) | it is the competency of the Board of Directors to make a proposal to the Annual General Meeting for allocation of the Companys net profit; |
d) | Paragraph 4 of Article 202 of Law 6404/1976 specifies, in relation to the dividend specified in the by-laws, that it |
shall not be obligatory in a business year in which the Companys management bodies inform the Annual Ordinary General Meeting of Stockholders that it would be incompatible with the companys financial situation. The Audit Board, if constituted, must give an opinion on this information and, in a listed company, its managers must submit a statement to the CVM within five days from the General Meeting of Stockholders, justifying the information transmitted to the General Meeting of Stockholders;
e) | Paragraph 5 of Article 202 of Law 6404/1976 specifies that |
profits that are, under Paragraph 4 of this Article, not distributed, shall be held and reported in a special Reserve and, if not absorbed by losses in subsequent business years, must be paid as a dividend as soon as the companys financial situation permits;
f) | the forecasts of cash flow for 2015 indicate the limitation of the Companys funds in terms of payment in 2015 of the minimum obligatory dividends for 2014 specified in the by-laws; |
g) | CVM Decision 207/1996 establishes that Interest on Equity paid or credited may only be imputed against the minimum obligatory dividend at its value net of withholding income tax; |

i) | there is not enough time for the Company to raise funds in the financial market through a debt instrument, for settlement of the obligations specified in the budget; |

ii) | to approve declarations of vote in the General Meetings of Stockholders, and orientations of vote in the meetings of the boards of directors, of the wholly-owned subsidiaries, subsidiaries, affiliated companies and of the consortia in which this company participates, when they involve ownership in the share capital of other companies or consortia, and such decisions must, in any event and not only in matters relating to ownership of an interest in the capital of other companies or consortia, obey the provisions of these by-laws, the Long-Term Strategic Plan, and the Multi-Year Strategic Implementation Plan, as specified, respectively, in subclauses e and p of Article 17 of the by-laws of Cemig. |
o) | under Article 163, III of Law 6404/1976, the Audit Board should give opinion on any proposals by the management bodies that are submitted to the General Meeting of Stockholders in relation to change of the share capital; |
p) | it is not possible to wait for a General Meeting of Stockholders of Cemig D to be held, since it is essential that Cemig should immediately transfer to Cemig D the R$ 100,000,000.00 (one hundred million Reais), by means of Advance against Future Capital Increase (AFAC); |

2 | R$ 567,317,000 as dividends for 2014, to be paid by December 30, 2015, depending on availability of cash and at the discretion of the Executive Board, to stockholders whose names were on the Companys Nominal Share registry on the date on which the Ordinary Annual General Meeting is held; |
b) | R$ 797,317,000 to be held in Stockholders equity in the Reserve for obligatory dividend not distributed, to be paid as and when the Companys financial situation permits; |

After carefully analyzing the said proposals and further taking into account that the applicable rules governing the
matters have been complied with, it is opinion of the members of the Audit Board that they should be approved by the said General Meetings of Stockholders.
Belo Horizonte, March 26, 2015.

Aristóteles Luiz Menezes Vasconcellos Drummond, | Bruno Gonçalves Siqueira, | Lauro Sander, | ||

The Chair then placed the Proposal by the Board of Directors in relation to items 2, 3, 7 and 8 of the Convocation in debate. It was, subsequently, put to a vote and approved by a majority of votes.

The Chair stated that under §1 of Subclause b of Clause 28 of the by-laws, 50% of the Net profit is to be distributed as minimum obligatory dividend to the Companys stockholders, subject to the other provisions of the by-laws and the applicable legislation, but that the proposal by the Board of Directors, approved, states that, of the Net profit for 2014, in the amount of R$ 3,136,639,000, the amount of R$ 797,317,000 shall be allocated for payment of dividends, corresponding to 25% of the Net profit of the year.
He pointed out that payment of the dividends specified in the by-laws would not be compatible with the present financial situation of the Company, due mainly to the low level of water in the electricity reservoirs, which could lead to a significant reduction in the energy available for sale by the hydroelectric plants of the Cemig Group in 2015, affecting the Companys revenues and cash position. He further said that a lower rate of growth of economic activity is expected in Brazil in 2015, and that, due to the significant increases in electricity tariffs in the first quarter of the current year, it is not yet possible to measure the effects in relation to the levels of default by the consumer clients of companies in the Cemig Group: that these factors, in isolation or combined, may impact the Companys cash position, as a result of the increase in expenses or reduction in revenues, and could adversely affect liquidity, increase the cost of raising funds and the level of Cemigs indebtedness.
This being so, the Chair continued, Management has stated in its Proposal to these Meetings that it believes it to be more prudent at the present moment not to allocate a part of the minimum obligatory dividend as calculated for payment in the 2015 business year, corresponding to 25% of the Net profit for the business year 2014, until a fuller analysis is possible of the Brazilian macroeconomic scenario and the outlook for the electricity sector this year and its effects on the Companys cash flow.
The amounts not distributed as obligatory dividends, corresponding to 25% of the Net profit for the business year 2014, in the amount of R$ 797,316,00, he said, will be held in Stockholders equity in the Reserve for Obligatory Dividends not distributed, to be paid as soon as the financial situation so permits, under Paragraph 5 of Article 202 of Law 6404/1976.
Continuing with the agenda, the Chair informed the meeting that the period of office of the members of the Audit Board ended with this present meeting, and that a new election should thus be held for that Board, with a period of office of (one) year, that is to say, up to the Ordinary General Meeting of Stockholders to be held in 2016. The Chair said that this election would be carried out with separate voting, in the case of candidates indicated by holders of preferred shares and by minority stockholders of common shares.
The Chair thus placed the election of the sitting and substitute members of the Audit Board in debate.
The floor was then requested, as holders of preferred shares, by the stockholders represented by Mr. Luís Gustavo Frantz and Ms. Bethsaida de Oliveira Pena, and by the stockholder Norges Bank, represented by Ms. Talita Car Vidotto, who put forward the following names for membership of the Audit Board:

Asking for the floor, and having in mind the decision of the CVM (the Brazilian Securities Commission) in response to Consultation on Regulation No. 3649/2002, the stockholder Alexandre de Queiroz Rodrigues asked whether any of the minority stockholders present had any interest in dismissing any of the present members of the Board of Directors, that had been elected by separate vote in the Extraordinary General Meeting of Stockholders held on April 30, 2014.

13. NOTICE TO STOCKHOLDERS PART OF DIVIDENDS FOR 2014 RETAINED IN STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY

LISTED COMPANY CNPJ 17.155.730/0001-64 NIRE 31300040127
NOTICE TO STOCKHOLDERS
Part of dividends for 2014 retained in Stockholders equity
The by-laws of Cemig specify, in §1 of Subclause b of Clause 28, a payment of 50% of the Net profit to be distributed as minimum obligatory dividend to the Companys stockholders, subject to the other provisions of the by-laws and the applicable legislation.
The General Meeting of Stockholders held on April 30, 2015 approved a proposal by the Board of Directors that, of the Net profit for 2014, which totals R$ 3,136,639,000, the amount of R$ 797,317,000, which is equal to 25% of the Net profit for 2014, should be paid in dividends.
In the proposal by the Board of Directors, it was noted that the payment of dividends specified in the by-laws, of 50% of the Net profit for the business year, would not be compatible with the present financial situation of the Company, due mainly to the low level of water in the electricity reservoirs, which could lead to a significant reduction in the energy available for sale by the Companys hydroelectric plants in 2015, affecting the Companys revenues and cash position.
It was also stated to the meeting that a lower rate of growth of economic activity is expected in Brazil in 2015, and that having in mind also the significant increases in electricity tariffs in the first quarter of the current year, it is not yet possible to measure the effects in relation to levels of default; and that these factors, in isolation or combined, may impact the Companys cash position, as a result of the increase in expenses or reduction in revenues. These situations could also adversely affect liquidity, and/or increase the cost of raising finance and/or the level of indebtedness.
This being so, Management stated in its Proposal that it believes it to be more prudent, at the present moment, not to allocate a part of the minimum obligatory dividend, as calculated, for payment in the 2015 business year, until a fuller analysis can be made of the Brazilian macroeconomic scenario and the outlook for the electricity sector this year and its effects on the Companys cash flow.
The amounts not distributed as obligatory dividends, corresponding to 25% of the Net profit for the business year 2014, in the amount of R$ 797,316,000, will be held in Stockholders equity in the Reserve for Obligatory Dividends not distributed, to be paid as soon as the financial situation so permits, in accordance with Paragraph 5 of Article 202 of Law 6404/1976.
