Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 6-K filing by Companhia Paranaense de Energia (Copel) covers the month of June 2026. The document certifies the minutes of the 267th Extraordinary Meeting of the Board of Directors held on June 15, 2026, regarding strategic capital allocation decisions involving Dona Francisca Energética S.A. (DFESA).
Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide specific financial metrics such as revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity figures for the reporting period. The document focuses exclusively on a corporate governance resolution regarding an equity divestiture.
Material Changes and Strategic Actions
- Divestiture of DFESA Stake: The Board unanimously resolved to divest Copel's equity interest in Dona Francisca Energética S.A. (DFESA) to Gerdau S.A.
- Non-Exercise of Preemptive Rights: Copel decided not to exercise its preemptive rights to acquire shares in DFESA currently held by Centrais Elétricas de Santa Catarina (Celesc).
- Rationale: Management determined that acquiring additional shares in DFESA does not meet Copel's minimum profitability criteria or capital allocation guidelines. Conversely, the sale to Gerdau was justified by a binding proposal leveraging a market window of high energy prices and the buyer's benefit from self-generation.
- Transaction Terms: The divestment will proceed under the same terms as the agreement reached between Gerdau and Celesc, based on the binding offer formalized by Gerdau.

No specific quantitative guidance or updated outlook was provided in this specific document.
