Eletrobras settles voting rights dispute with Brazilian government

Investing.com -- Brazilian energy company Eletrobras (ELET) has come to an agreement with the federal government of Brazil to resolve a dispute over voting rights. The main points of the agreement were initially shared in February, with the final details made public yesterday.

The agreement ensures a 10% voting right limit for Eletrobras shareholders.

Two significant elements of the agreement include the federal government’s appointment of three board members out of a total of ten, and an understanding that Eletrobras will no longer provide additional capital to its Eletronuclear subsidiary, which was a significant concern in the dispute.

Bank of America analysts have referred to this legal agreement as a crucial event that reduces risk for Eletrobras shares. The bank stated, "We see the legal compromise as a key de-risking event for ELET shares.

Political uncertainties regarding the federal government’s voting power have weighed on the shares since President Lula’s election given his administration’s scrutiny of the ELET privatization process. In our view, the agreement will allow investors to refocus on fundamentals."
