16-1 Publicly Held Company

MATERIAL FACT Light S.A. (Company), in accordance with CVM Instruction 358 of January 3, 2002, announces to shareholders and the market that the Companys management received correspondence from its controlling shareholder Rio Minas Energia Participaes S.A. (RME) informing that, in accordance with item 9.1 of the Shareholders Agreement of RME executed on March 23, 2006, an ownership restructuring of RME will be implemented so that afterwards each shareholder will hold a direct interest in the capital of the Company in the same proportion as the interests they currently hold in the capital of RME.

The interests of the controlling shareholders in the Company are held indirectly through RME, which in turn holds 49.39% of the shares issued by the Company and 100% of the membership interests in the capital of Lidil Comercial Ltda. (Lidil), which in turn holds 2.74% of the shares issued by the Company. Accordingly, RME is the controlling shareholder of the Company, holding 52.13% of its capital. RME will merge Lidil and then RME will be split up into three parts. The interests split off will be merged by Andrade Gutierrez Concesses S.A., Companhia Energtica de Minas Gerais (CEMIG) and, in the case of the interest related to Luce Brasil Fundo de Investimento em Participaes, by a company to be incorporated/acquired by this fund. Equatorial Energia S.A. will remain the sole shareholder of RME.

The planned operation will not result in any change in the control of the Company or in any changes in the interests held by the other shareholders of the Company. The current shareholders agreement of RME will be replaced by a new Shareholders Agreement signed by the four shareholders in Light, which will reproduce the same rights and obligations provided for by the current shareholders agreement.

The objective of the ownership restructuring of RME by its shareholders is to fulfill the Shareholders Agreement and simplify the ownership structure by eliminating the holding company RME, whose sole function is ownership of the interest in the Company.

In view of the fact that RMEs capital is held exclusively by its four shareholders, with each holding 25% of the shares issued by RME, the planned merger of the split off interests will not result in a capital increase by the merging companies, and will also not result in any substitution of the shares held by shareholders that are not part of the controlling block of shareholders of the merged company in exchange for shares issued by the merging companies.

The shareholders meetings and/or the meetings of the board of directors of RME and of its shareholders to examine the proposal for the ownership restructuring announced herein will be called in accordance with the legal periods and those established in the bylaws.
