<P STYLE="font: 11pt Petrobras Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #75787B"><B>Rio de Janeiro, December 19, 2024 </B>&ndash;
Petr&oacute;leo Brasileiro S.A. - Petrobras informs that it has begun operation of the atmospheric emissions reduction unit (SNOX) at
the Abreu e Lima refinery (RNEST), located in the city of Ipojuca, in the Brazilian state of Pernambuco. The emissions reduction will
allow the refinery to increase its current processing by 27,000 barrels per day (bpd), in compliance with the emissions limit set by the
local environmental authority, from 88,000 bpd to 115,000 bpd.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Petrobras Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #75787B">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Petrobras Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #75787B">The SNOX is the first emissions reduction
unit in refining, both in Brazil and in the Americas, with the capability to transform sulfur oxide (SOx) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) into
sulfuric acid, thus adding a new product to the company's portfolio. The produced acid, among other uses, is an important input for the
treatment and generation of drinking water.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Petrobras Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #75787B">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Petrobras Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #75787B">In the process of eliminating SOx, the
unit also produces energy in the form of steam, which will be used in the refinery facilities, reducing the consumption of gas for energy
production and contributing to making RNEST more energy efficient.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Petrobras Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #75787B">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Petrobras Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #75787B"><B>Expansion of RNEST</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Petrobras Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #75787B">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Petrobras Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #75787B">Preparations are also underway to begin
the Revamp (expansion) works of Train 1, which will increase the refinery&rsquo;s capacity by 15,000 bpd, improve the flow of light products,
and enhance the processing capacity of pre-salt oil. The Revamp works of Train 1 are expected to be completed in the first quarter of
2025. Petrobras will also begin the procurement process to complete the works of Train 2, which will add 130,000 bpd to RNEST&rsquo;s
capacity.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Petrobras Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #75787B">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Petrobras Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #75787B">Among all Brazilian refineries, RNEST
has the highest conversion rate of crude oil to diesel (70%). With the completion of the RNEST scope (SNOX, Revamp Train 1, and Train
2), the refinery will have the capacity to process 260,000 barrels of oil per day, with an increase in national S-10 diesel production
of approximately 13 million liters per day.</P>
