    Vitor Sousa's questions to BRAZILIAN ELECTRIC POWER (EBR) leadership • Q1 2025

    Question

    Vitor Sousa inquired about the company's preference between share buybacks and dividends and asked if the proceeds from the thermal plant sale would be specifically allocated to dividend payouts.

    Answer

    Executive Elio de Meirelles Wolff stated that while he personally prefers buybacks, the company will utilize both methods as part of a broader 5-year capital allocation plan. He clarified that the cash from the thermal plant sale was already factored into the company's financial planning, which supported the recent decision to pay an additional BRL 1.8 billion in dividends. Executive Ivan de Souza Monteiro reinforced that the company built a strong liquidity position in 2024 to support both investments and shareholder returns.
