“Mr President Director,

In greeting to Your Excellency, and in reference to the execution process of the extrajudicial title n.º 13.814/2004, originating from the 4th Court of the Public Treasury of Curitiba (NPU 0003888-08.2004.8.16.0004), now in the stage of an extraordinary appeal before the Federal Supreme Court (ARE 1,291,514), which discusses the attachment of common shares owned by the State of Paraná in that company to guarantee the execution of a contract entered into between the public entity and Banco do Estado do Paraná S/A – Banestado ( succeeded by Banco Unibanco S/A), I inform you that:

On yesterday's date, April 10, 2023, Itaú Unibanco S.A. and the State of Paraná entered into an agreement for the release, by Itaú Unibanco S.A, of the encumbrance of the shares issued by COPEL held by the State of Paraná under the terms described in the composition now notified, by decision of Federal Supreme Court Justice Ricardo Lewandowski, rapporteur of the proceeding, subject to homologation by the plenary of the Federal Supreme Court. It is clarified that the agreement signed will determine the necessary actions to carry out, during the year 2023, a possible public offering of secondary distribution related to the transformation of COPEL into a company with dispersed capital and without a controlling shareholder.

Therefore, I request that the content of this official letter be communicated to the Company's internal governance bodies and that disclosure to the market be made in accordance with the applicable legislation.

Yours sincerely,

João Carlos Ortega

Civil House Chief"
