Potential Public Offering of Shares

COPEL (“Company”), a company that generates, transmits, distributes and trades energy, in compliance with article 157, paragraph 4, of Law no. 6.404, of December 15, 1976, as amended, and in the Resolution of the Comissão de Valores Mobiliários ("CVM") no. 44, of August 23, 2021, hereby informs its shareholders and the market in general, further to the Material Facts nos. 06/22, 07/22 and 10/22 and the Notice to the Market nos. 01/23 and 09/23, that it has started to structure a potential primary and/or secondary offering of common shares or units issued by the Company (the "Potential Offering"), in connection with the process of dispersion of the share capital of the Company.

The Company has engaged certain banks to act as coordinators in the structuring Potential Offering, pursuant to CVM Resolution No. 160, of July 13, 2022 as amended and other applicable rules.

To date, the State of Paraná and the Company have not determined if the Potential Offering will occur or its terms and conditions and, therefore, as of the date hereof, no public offering of securities is being made in Brazil, in the United States of America or in any other jurisdiction.

The implementation of the Potential Offering is subject to, among other factors, obtaining the applicable approvals (including corporate approvals), macroeconomic and market conditions in Brazil and abroad, the execution of definitive agreements and the procedures required to the implementation of public offerings in accordance with current regulations, which are factors beyond the Company's control.

This communication does not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities. Any offers, solicitations or sales of securities will be made in accordance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act and CVM Resolution No. 160, of July 13, 2022 as amended.

Curitiba, May 29, 2023.
