Petrobras on pieces of news in the media

—

Rio de Janeiro, October 23, 2023 - Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. – Petrobras, regarding the pieces of news published in the media, and in follow-up to the release disclosed today about the call for an Extraordinary General Meeting to consider revisions to Petrobras' Bylaws, clarifies that the proposed change regarding the criteria for appointing members of the board of directors aims to align the Bylaws with the provisions of Law No. 13,303/2016, whatever the judicial decisions on the matter may be.

Currently, Petrobras' Bylaws refer, in article 21, to the requirements established by the State-Owned Companies Law.

The proposal to be deliberated at the EGM, which has yet to be called, maintains all the requirements set out in the State-Owned Companies Law for the appointment of board members, removing only the second paragraph of the same article 21 of the Bylaws, which reproduced the content of each of the items in article 17, second paragraph, of the aforementioned law.

Therefore, the aim is simply to keep Petrobras' Bylaws up to date, whatever the court rulings on the matter may be. There is no reduction in the requirements in relation to the Law on State-Owned Companies, as the Bylaws continue to establish full compliance with the Law on State-Owned Companies in the nominations, as established in its article 21.
