CPFL Energia S.A. ("Company") (BOVESPA: CPFE3, NYSE: CPL) informs its shareholders and the market that, at its meeting on October 27, 2010, the Board of Directors approved the hiring of Banco do Brasil S.A. ("Banco do Brasil") as the registrar bank for its shares and the shares of its subsidiaries Companhia Paulista de Força e Luz (“CPFL Paulista”), Companhia Piratininga de Força e Luz (“CPFL Piratininga”), CPFL Geração de Energia S.A.

Service to shareholders will continue to be provided by Banco Bradesco S.A. until December 31, 2010, and from January 01, 2011, the shareholder services will be provided in all branches of the Banco do Brasil located in the country.

 

Shareholders will receive correspondence from the Banco do Brasil communicating the registration of shares on their behalf, transferred to the custody of that institution, which does not entail any modification of their rights.

 

To receive any payouts, only those stockholders whose shares are under the custody of the registrar bank should appear at a branch of the Banco do Brasil and speak with the manager, in order to sign the receipt option, which indicates the bank, current account and bank agency for depositing the credits, and to become cognizant of the conditions of the type of credit involved (DOC/TED/CASH).

 

Stockholders with shares already held in custody by the Companhia Brasileira de Liquidação e Custódia (“CBLC”) shall continue to be serviced normally by their respective custodial agents (Stock Brokerages or Custodial Institutions).

 

Holders of bearer shares issued by CPFL Paulista, also from January 1, 2011, should go to any Banco do Brasil branch bearing an original ID card, individual taxpayer’s ID (CPF), proof of residence, income, bank account and the relevant certificates and/or vouchers, to be converted to the nominative form of CPFL Energia's shares and registered in the Company's Stock Registration System for subsequent receipt of rights.
