Summary of Corporate Governance Levels on Bovespa
(1) Not applicable (“n.a.”) due to the absence of preferred shares in “Novo Mercado” listing segment Source: “Novo Mercado”, “Nível 1” and “Nível 2” listing regulation by BM&FBovespa and Brazilian Corporate Law
Nova Lei das SAs
Status Quo
Of all companies listed in differentiated governance levels, 125 are at the “Novo Mercado”, 19 at“Nível 2” and 38 at “Nível 1”
27
(1) Due to the liquidity increase and the presence at the “Novo Mercado” listing segment of BM&FBovespa, other utility companies (listed at NM) have
in average 10 research analysts currently covering its shares . Comgás currently is covered by 4 active research analysts
Shares listed at the highest governance level of BM&FBovespa – acknowledge by investors as today’s market standards, same rights and transparency for all shareholders (only voting shares)
Better exposure to the banks' research analysts , and consequently increase in exposure to the general finance community(1) – possibility to access a more vast universe of investors, increasing the company’s
capability of accessing the Capital Markets
Potential for value uplift through a re-rating, as happened in past migrations to “Novo Mercado”
Increase in the share liquidity (one type of share), concentrating the liquidity of the current two types of shares into one type of share
New governance standards: i) guarantee of 20% of independent board members , ii) 100% tag along to all shareholders, iii) complete information of all corporate events to shareholders

Previous Migrations to “Novo Mercado”
“Studies conducted by the Company’s principal
shareholders and Management show that a
conversion at a ratio of one ordinary share to
each preferred share of the Company is in the
best interest of the Company and its shareholders.”4
