Before the items on the agenda of this meeting were put to debate and to the vote, the representative of the stockholder Southern Electric Brasil Participações Ltda. stated that the changes in the Bylaws made by the Extraordinary General Meeting of Stockholders of October 25, 1999, and also the subsequent alterations, were approved only by virtue of the suspension of the Stockholders Agreement, by decision of the Courts, and were thus provisional and precarious. He stated that hence the acts and operations practiced or submitted to approval by the management bodies of Cemig, supported by the said changes in the Bylaws made under the protection of the Court decision in force today, may, at any moment, be reviewed and withdrawn from the world of legal existence.
On this question, the representative of the stockholder State of Minas Gerais reminded the meeting that the decision which annulled the Stockholders Agreement signed between the State of Minas Gerais and Southern Electric Brasil Participações Ltda. no longer has an interim or provisional character. It is, he said, a decision on the merit and it is thus a case not of suspension but of annulment. He added that there is already in existence a decision on the merit that annuls the Stockholders Agreement, confirmed by the Appeal Court of the State of Minas Gerais.
He further explained that the decisions of this Meeting can only take into account what exists at the present moment, and that it would be irresponsible not to vote on matters, in expectation of Court decisions, since, in reality, the said Stockholders Agreement, by force of Court judgment, cannot produce any effect and the decisions taken are being taken within strict compliance with the Court decision.
Finally, he noted that the Extraordinary and Special Appeals brought by Southern Electric Brasil were not admitted by the Vice-chairman of the Minas Gerais Appeal Court, and that the Higher Appeal Court refused the interlocutory and special appeals brought by Southern Electric Brasil, thus underlining and reinforcing the legal situation already stated by the Minas Gerais Appeal Court, that is to say, the inefficacy of the Stockholders Agreement subject of the action.
Once again taking the floor, the representative of Southern Electric Brasil Participações Ltda. stated that the Interlocutory Appeal brought against the dispatch denying the Extraordinary Appeal is awaiting judgment in proceedings in the Federal Supreme Court.
Continuing with the business of the meeting, the Chairman requested the Secretary to proceed to reading of the Proposal of the Board of Directors, which deals with the matter that is on the agenda, the content of which document is as follows:
PROPOSAL BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
TO THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON FEBRUARY 9, 2009.

The Board of Directors of Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais Cemig,

PROPOSAL BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
TO THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON FEBRUARY 9, 2009.
To the Stockholder Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais Cemig:
Whereas
a) there is a need to change the composition of the Executive Board of Cemig, through the creation of the Office of the Chief Officer for the Gas Division, which will coordinate, for Cemig and for its wholly-owned and other subsidiaries and jointly-controlled companies, all the policies and processes for exploration, acquisition, storage, transport, transmission, distribution and sale of oil and gas or of sub-product and products derived directly or through third parties;
b) Cemig, as an energy company, should strengthen its business in gas and incorporate the development of alternative sources of energy, particularly oil;
c) on the orientation of the Board of Directors, Cemig participated in the most recent auction held by the National Oil and Gas Agency (ANP), and was the winning bidder for 6 (six) lots, namely 4 (four) for prospecting of gas and 2 (two) for prospecting of oil;
d) that the oil and gas businesses, when dealt with jointly, create and develop synergies in the process of research, prospecting, exploration and sale;
e) that Gasmig, as the only holder of a concession for distribution of gas in the State of Minas Gerais, and whose mission is to increase the supply of this energy source within the limits of its concession, has made efforts, with high investment, to promote the companys rapid growth;
f) that, presently the Chief New Business Officer is also responsible for the management of Gasmig, a company which is already established in the Brazilian market for gas and which is not characterized as a new business for Cemig, the management of which demands specific attention and focus due to the dimension and complexity of the gas sector;
g) that to bring together the areas of oil and gas in a single Chief Officers Department provides and imposes the focus and agility that are imperative for the growth of an activity which is in the process of maturing;
h) Clause 18, § 3 of the Bylaws of Cemig states as follows: Clause 18: § 3 The Directors shall exercise their positions as full-time occupations in the regime of exclusive dedication to the service of the Company. They may at the same time hold and exercise non-remunerated positions in the management of the wholly-owned and other subsidiaries, jointly-controlled companies or affiliated companies, at the option of the Board of Directors.

i) the sole sub-paragraphs of Clauses 13 of the Bylaws of Cemig D and of Cemig GT state as follows: Clause 13 ... § 1 The members of the Executive Board shall, obligatorily, be the respective members of the Executive Board of the sole stockholder, Cemig, and the post of Executive Officer without Specific Designation shall be occupied, also obligatorily, by the Chief Energy Generation and Transmission Officer of the sole stockholder, Cemig.;
j) that the financial limits for decisions by the Board of Directors and the Executive Board in relation to the sale or placement of a charge upon the companys assets, investment projects, signature of legal instruments, opening of administrative tender proceedings, filing of legal actions, etc., were stipulated in 1997, and have not been subsequently adjusted;
k) members of the Board have given orientation emphasizing the need to update the limits of approval exercised by the Executive Board and the Board of Directors; and
l) considering that the IGP-M (General Price Index (Market)) inflation index, produced by the Getúlio Vargas Foundation, is the best that has been used for monetary adjustment, since 1997, of the amounts of financial limits for decisions, as well being considered the indexor for electricity tariffs;
the Board of Directors proposes to submit the following to the Extraordinary General Meeting of Stockholders:
1 Creation of the Office of the Chief Officer for the Gas Division; and, consequently, alteration of the drafting of Clause 13 of the Bylaws, to the following.

PROPOSAL BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
TO THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON FEBRUARY 9, 2009.
To the Stockholder Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais Cemig:
Whereas
a) there is a need to change the composition of the Executive Board of Cemig, through the creation of the Office of the Chief Officer for the Gas Division, which will coordinate, for Cemig and for its wholly-owned and other subsidiaries and jointly-controlled companies, all the policies and processes for exploration, acquisition, storage, transport, transmission, distribution and sale of oil and gas or of sub-product and products derived directly or through third parties;
b) Cemig, as an energy company, should strengthen its business in gas and incorporate the development of alternative sources of energy, particularly oil;
c) on the orientation of the Board of Directors, Cemig participated in the most recent auction held by the National Oil and Gas Agency (ANP), and was the winning bidder for 6 (six) lots, namely 4 (four) for prospecting of gas and 2 (two) for prospecting of oil;
d) that the oil and gas businesses, when dealt with jointly, create and develop synergies in the process of research, prospecting, exploration and sale;
e) that Gasmig, as the only holder of a concession for distribution of gas in the State of Minas Gerais, and whose mission is to increase the supply of this energy source within the limits of its concession, has made efforts, with high investment, to promote the companys rapid growth;
f) that, presently the Chief New Business Officer is also responsible for the management of Gasmig, a company which is already established in the Brazilian market for gas and which is not characterized as a new business for Cemig, the management of which demands specific attention and focus due to the dimension and complexity of the gas sector;
g) that to bring together the areas of oil and gas in a single Chief Officers Department provides and imposes the focus and agility that are imperative for the growth of an activity which is in the process of maturing;
h) Clause 18, § 3 of the Bylaws of Cemig states as follows: Clause 18: § 3 The Directors shall exercise their positions as full-time occupations in the regime of exclusive dedication to the service of the Company. They may at the same time hold and exercise non-remunerated positions in the management of the wholly-owned and other subsidiaries, jointly-controlled companies or affiliated companies, at the option of the Board of Directors. They shall, however, obligatorily exercise the corresponding positions in the wholly-owned subsidiaries Cemig Distribuição S.A. and Cemig Geração e Transmissão S.A.;
i) the sole sub-paragraphs of Clauses 13 of the Bylaws of Cemig D and of Cemig GT state as follows: Clause 13 ... § 1 The members of the Executive Board shall, obligatorily, be the respective members of the Executive Board of the sole stockholder, Cemig, and the post of Executive Officer without Specific Designation shall be occupied, also obligatorily, by the Chief Energy Generation and Transmission Officer of the sole stockholder, Cemig.;
j) that the financial limits for decisions by the Board of Directors and the Executive Board in relation to the sale or placement of a charge upon the companys assets, investment projects, signature of legal instruments, opening of administrative tender proceedings, filing of legal actions, etc., were stipulated in 1997, and have not been subsequently adjusted;
k) members of the Board have given orientation emphasizing the need to update the limits of approval exercised by the Executive Board and the Board of Directors; and
l) considering that the IGP-M (General Price Index (Market)) inflation index, produced by the Getúlio Vargas Foundation, is the best that has been used for monetary adjustment, since 1997, of the amounts of financial limits for decisions, as well being considered the indexor for electricity tariffs;
the Board of Directors proposes to submit the following to the Extraordinary General Meeting of Stockholders:
1 Creation of the Office of the Chief Officer for the Gas Division; and, consequently, alteration of the drafting of Clause 13 of the Bylaws, to the following.
