REVISED TERMS OF THE PROPOSED MERGER OF DRAFT I PARTICIPAÇÕES INTO CPFL PIRATININGA

CPFL Energia S.A. ("CPFL Energia"), a Brazilian holding company that, through its subsidiaries, distributes, generates and commercializes electricity in Brazil, and Companhia Paulista de Força e Luz ("CPFL Paulista"), indirect and direct controlling shareholders of Companhia Piratininga de Força e Luz ("CPFL Piratininga"), respectively, plan to submit for approval at the General Shareholders Meetings of CPFL Piratininga and DRAFT I Participações S. A. ("Draft I") revised terms for the proposed merger of Draft I into CPFL Piratininga. The revised terms reflect the effects of the downward revision in CPFL Piratininga's tariff structure in connection with an official tariff revision process conducted by the Brazilian Electric Energy Agency ("ANEEL"), as first disclosed in the report on Form 6-K furnished to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on October 29, 2004. Draft I currently holds 97.41% of the capital stock of CPFL Piratininga. The proposed merger will streamline CPFL Energia's corporate structure and capture tax benefits. The principal, revised terms of the proposed merger are described below:

  1. The Merger will be effective as of November 30, 2004 (the "Date of Merger");
  2. Total net assets of Draft I are valued at R$716,317,456.71, of which R$191,743,376.06 corresponds to the amount of Draft I's equity stake in CPFL Piratininga. The net assets of Draft I were appraised by Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Auditores Independentes S/C on the basis of their book value on September 30, 2004 ;
  3. In accordance with Brazilian regulations, only 34% of the R$373,987,838.62 of total goodwill recorded in Draft I, which resulted from its acquisition of Piratininga, can be recognized after the merger. This amount is related to tax benefits, as described below.
  4. As a result of the Merger, the shares comprising the capital stock of DRAFT I will be extinguished. The shareholders' equity of CPFL Piratininga will increase by R$277,742,107.16 which represents the net assets of Draft I, excluding the value of Draft I's equity stake in CPFL Piratininga and the value of the goodwill that CPFL Piratininga cannot recognize (R$246,831,973.49). The increase in shareholders' equity is comprised of (1) an increase of R$150,586,242.03 in capital stock and (2) a tax benefit of R$127,155,865.13 resulting from goodwill, to be placed in a capital reserve account. The capital increase will not change the number of oustanding shares of CPFL Piratininga. After the Merger, the common and preferred shares of CPFL Piratininga previously held by DRAFT I will be attributed to CPFL Paulista;
  5. The merger proposal was approved by the Executive Officers of Draft I and by the Board of Directors of CPFL Piratininga as well as the National Electric Energy Agency in Brazil ( Agência Nacional de Energia Elétrica ), or ANEEL; and
  6. Costs of the merger are estimated at R$200,000.00, including legal and financial fees, appraisals, registration and the publication costs.
