21. Purposes and Strategies
of the Proposal to Readjust the Debt
On September 30, 2003 a proposal for the readjustment of the
profile of the indebtedness of Eletropaulo was presented to the
creditor banks, which aims at:
– Recovering its investment grade position
– Readjusting its cash generation to the schedule for the amortization of
the debts
– Mitigating the exchange risks, continuing with the strategy of of
converting the debt to Reais and making possible its return to having
access to the hedge market
The proposal allows for a significant unleveraging in the next 3-5
years
– No refinancing risk in the next 36 months
– Significant improvement in the credit indicators reducing thus the risk
insight
22. Creditors Involved in the
Debt Readjustment Proposal
The proposal for readjusting the debt with private creditors without guarantee
includes operations with individual creditor banks, bank syndicates and
working capital operations
– The amount to be renegotiated is approximately R$ 2,3 billion
Furthermore, exchange offers were made to holders of Commercial Papers in
the amount of US$ 49 million. And US$ 13 million, on the papers of November
6, 2003 and January 27, 2004 respectively.
The payment of interest will be maintained during negotiations, however
suspending the payment of the principal
The guaranteed debts or those with favorable term and rate conditions for the
company will not be included in this process and will be amortized according
to their original contracts. These are mainly as follows*:
– Rationing loan with BNDES – R$ 762 million
– Debentures – R$ 143 million
– Debts with the Cesp Foundation – R$ 1.4 billion

23. The Proposal to Banks
The proposal to creditor banks seeks to unify the debts to be
restructured under one sole lot of documents
– Isonomic treatment for creditor banks, with uniform rates, terms and
covenants
The Debt will be restructured in four tranches
– The proportioning of the tranches was based on the projections of
company’s liquidity
– The tranches allow flexibility to creditors in regard to the desired
exposure
– At the most, 30% of each tranche will be denominated in US$

– September 30, 2003: Proposal made to creditor banks
– October 21, 2003: Indications of adhesion (non-binding)
– December 22, 2003: Obtained 91% adhesion
