AXIA Energia S.A. - Form 6-K Filing Regarding PNC Redemption

AXIA Energia S.A. has issued a Form 6-K detailing the tax treatment for the redemption of its class "C" preferred shares (PNC). The redemption price is set at R$52.00 per share, based on the closing price of common shares on June 12, 2026. Payment will be made in Brazilian currency on July 7, 2026, with a subsequent payment for ADR holders on July 16, 2026. For Brazilian resident investors, any gains from the redemption may be subject to income tax and other applicable taxes, and they are responsible for consulting their own advisors. For non-resident investors, the Company may withhold Withholding Income Tax (WHT) on capital gains. The capital gain is calculated as the difference between the redemption amount and the acquisition cost. WHT rates vary from 15% to 25%, depending on the investor's tax residency. Non-resident investors must submit specific documentation by June 23, 2026, to determine their tax liability. Failure to comply may result in a zero acquisition cost or the application of the highest WHT rate.
