Material Fact

Light S.A. ("Light" or "Company") (B3: LIGT3; ADR I: LGSXY), in compliance with CVM Resolution 44, of August 23, 2021, hereby informs its shareholders and the market in general that the Company and its subsidiaries Light Serviços de Eletricidade S.A. and Light Energia S.A. had their credit risk ratings changed by Fitch Ratings.

On the national scale, the rating was downgraded to CCC (previously AA-); on the international scale, the rating was downgraded to CCC+ (previously BB-).

According to Fitch, the downgrade is due to the uncertainties arising from the announcement that the Company has hired Laplace Finanças with the purpose of improving its capital structure, as disclosed in the Notice to the Market of January 31, 2023, and the current more restrictive credit market.

The full report released by Fitch is available on the link below.

In line with the best corporate governance practices, the Company will keep the market and the public in general duly and timely updated on relevant information related to this matter.

Rio de Janeiro, February 2, 2023.
