In October 2025, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement with J&F S.A. for the disposal of its entire interest in the associate Eletronuclear. The disposal transaction, once all conditions precedent have been fulfilled, requires the purchaser to assume the guarantees previously provided by AXIA Energia in favor of Eletronuclear. For further information, see Note 39. The guarantees provided to controlled investees are presented separately, as their related balances are already recorded under loans and financing payable. As of December 31, 2025, the amount guaranteed for controlled investees totaled R$29,005,780 (R$24,441,964 as of December 31, 2024), as presented in the table below: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | CONTROLLED COMPANIES | | Guarantor | | Enterprise/Project | | Guaranteed Debt Balance on 12/31/2025 | | Guarantee Termination (year) | | AXIA Energia | | Cash Reinforcement – AXIA Energia Norte | | 525,654 | | | 2026 | | AXIA Energia | | UHE Passo de São João – AXIA Energia Sul | | 10,170 | | | 2026 | | AXIA Energia | | Cash Reinforcement – AXIA Energia Sul | | 370,565 | | | 2026 | | AXIA Energia | | Cash Reinforcement – AXIA Energia Sul | | 325,822 | | | 2026 | | AXIA Energia | | Cash Reinforcement – AXIA Energia Sul | | 245,963 | | | 2026 | | AXIA Energia | | RS Energia – AXIA Energia Sul | | 4,576 | | | 2027 | | AXIA Energia | | RS Energia – AXIA Energia Sul | | 2,912 | | | 2027 | | AXIA Energia | | Cash Reinforcement – AXIA Energia Sul | | 423,089 | | | 2027 | | AXIA Energia | | Cash Reinforcement – AXIA Energia Sul | | 217,261 | | | 2027 | | AXIA Energia | | Cash Reinforcement – AXIA Energia Sul | | 218,001 | | | 2027 | | AXIA Energia | | Working Capital Strengthening – AXIA Energia Norte | | 735,063 | | | 2028 | | AXIA Energia | | Working Capital Strengthening – AXIA Energia Norte | | 88,164 | | | 2028 | | AXIA Energia | | Debenture Issuance – AXIA Energia Sul | | 406,076 | | | 2028 | | AXIA Energia | | Debenture Issuance – AXIA Energia Norte | | 139,154 | | | 2028 | | AXIA Energia | | Debenture Issuance – AXIA Energia Norte | | 238,550 | | | 2028 | | AXIA Energia | | Working Capital Strengthening – AXIA Energia Norte | | 487,040 | | | 2028 | | AXIA Energia | | Debenture Issuance – AXIA Energia Sul | | 263,776 | | | 2028 | | AXIA Energia | | UHE Mauá – AXIA Energia Sul | | 58,877 | | | 2028 | | AXIA Energia | | UHE São Domingos – AXIA Energia Sul | | 44,548 | | | 2028 | | AXIA Energia | | Debenture Issuance – AXIA Energia Nordeste | | 1,028,603 | | | 2029 | | AXIA Energia | | Debenture Issuance – AXIA Energia Nordeste | | 108,153 | | | 2029 | | AXIA Energia | | Corporate Projects – AXIA Energia Nordeste | | 23,669 | | | 2029 | | AXIA Energia | | Livramento Wind Complex – Entorno II – AXIA Energia Sul | | 136,307 | | | 2029 | | AXIA Energia | | Belo Monte Transmissora de Energia – AXIA Energia Norte | | 219,484 | | | 2029 | | AXIA Energia | | Debenture Issuance – AXIA Energia Sul | | 261,330 | | | 2029 | | AXIA Energia | | UHE Santo Antônio | | 322,770 | | | 2030 | | AXIA Energia | | Debenture Issuance – AXIA Energia Nordeste | | 4,930,464 | | | 2031 | | AXIA Energia | | Debenture Issuance – AXIA Energia Nordeste | | 1,982,795 | | | 2031 | | AXIA Energia | | Debenture Issuance – AXIA Energia Norte | | 1,988,177 | | | 2031 |

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded R$138,231 (R$143,925 as of December 31, 2024) under non‑current liabilities related to guarantee provisions. 24.3 – Assumed Obligations - Covenants The Company has restrictive clauses (covenants) in certain loan, financing and debenture agreements. The main covenants relate to: (i) net debt to EBITDA; (ii) debt service coverage ratio (DSCR); (iii) corporate guarantees; (iv) requirements relating to changes in ownership control; and (v) restrictions on the significant sale of assets. There were no covenant breaches for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Accounting Policy Loans, financing and debentures are initially recognized at fair value, which in these cases corresponds to the transaction amount, and are subsequently measured at amortized cost, updated for contractual charges (interest, monetary adjustments and foreign exchange differences) and repayments, except when they are designated under hedge accounting or the fair value option, in which case measurement is based on changes in fair value. The balances presented in the loan, financing and debenture tables reflect the measurement criteria applicable to each obligation. Note 37.3.2 presents the roll forward of debt instruments designated in hedge relationships, which are measured based on changes in fair value. To mitigate the risk of potential enforcement of guarantees provided by AXIA Energia for financing arrangements of non‑controlled entities, the Company records a provision ranging from 1% to 5% of the outstanding principal, depending on the assessed risk level, which is determined based on the historical execution of guarantees and the net working capital of the debtor entity.
