On March 18, 2015, at 9:00 a.m., convened by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Benedito Pinto Ferreira Braga Junior, extraordinarily, in accordance with Article 12 of the Bylaws, in the conference room of the Company’s headquarters, located at Rua Costa Carvalho n° 300, São Paulo, there was a meeting of the members of the Board of Directors of Companhia de Saneamento Básico do Estado de São Paulo (SABESP) named and signed below. Opening the meeting, Dr. Benedito Braga Junior greeted everyone, stating that the Board Members Jerônimo Antunes and Francisco Luna were participating via conference call, and justifying the absence of Board Member Sidnei Franco da Rocha. Immediately thereafter, he gave the floor to the Chief Financial Officer and Investor Relations Officer, Rui de Britto Álvares Affonso, to the Head of Accounting Marcelo Miyagui, and to the Advisor to the Financial and Investor Relations Office, Flavio Fernandes Naccache, to present item 1 on the agenda – the Agreement between the State of São Paulo, Companhia de Saneamento Básico do Estado de São Paulo and the Department of Water and Electricity (DAEE) (Time: 60’), which was based on the proposal of the Board of Directors, of March 17, 2015, the Executive Board Resolution 0041/2015, of March 17, 2015, Internal Communications 06/2015, of March 13, 2015, and 07/2015, of March 17, 2015, Legal Opinion 125/2015, of March 15, 2015, Legal Opinion 126/2015, of March 17, 2015, the PowerPoint presentation made by the Financial Office and Investor Relations Office, and the draft Agreement, which has been filed with the Secretary of the Company. The Chief Financial Officer and Investors Relations Officer Rui Affonso presented the main points and the context of the Agreement, after which Advisor Flavio Naccache explained that the total amount of Sabesp’s financial credit with the State, related to the portion of the Undisputed Amount that would be paid off with the transfer of the ownership of the Taiaçupeba, Jundiaí, Biritiba, Paraitinga and Ponte Nova reservoirs of the Alto Tietê System (Reservoirs), under the terms of the “Third Amendment of the Term of Recognition and Consolidation of Obligations, Payment Commitment and Other Covenants”, of November 17, 2008, updated to February 2015, is one billion, twelve million, three hundred and ten thousand and ninety-five reais and sixteen centavos (R$1,012,310,095.16), composed of:

 

(A) the Principle Amount of six hundred and ninety-six million, two hundred and eighty-three thousand, four hundred and sixty-five reais and forty-nine centavos (R$696,283,465.49); and

(B) a Monetary Adjustment Credit of three hundred and sixteen million, twenty-six thousand, six hundred and twenty-nine reais and sixty-seven centavos (R$316,026,629.67).

The agreement also allows that, in the event of a final judgement in the case challenging the transfer of the Reservoirs:

(ii) if the decision prevents the transfer of the Reservoirs, after the payment of the final installment of the Principal Amount, the Monetary Adjustment Credit will be adjusted in accordance with the IPCA, and the State will pay Sabesp in sixty (60) installments; the individual amounts of the installments will be updated in accordance with the IPCA, plus interest of 0.5% per month.

The proposal was discussed and put to a vote, in accordance with section XIII of Article 13 of the Company’s Bylaws, with unanimous approval for the Agreement between the State of São Paulo, Companhia de Saneamento Básico do Estado de São Paulo and the Department of Water and Electricity (DAEE).
