Petrobras, in continuation to the material fact disclosed on March 15, 2017, informs that its Executive Board approved yesterday the composition of its new divestment portfolio, consisting of projects that will follow the revised divestment methodology proceedings since the beginning, in compliance with the decision of the Federal Accounting Court (TCU).

 

To build the new portfolio, following TCU decision, it is necessary to terminate ongoing projects for which purchase and sale contracts have not yet been signed, a measure that was also approved yesterday.

 

Petrobras is taking all the internal necessary measures for the approval of its new portfolio by the Executive Board. Within two weeks, the projects that compose the new portfolio and which are qualified to initiate the structuring stage will be promptly started, and subsequently disclosed to the market.

 

Petrobras further reports that the aforementioned measures do not interfere with the achievement of the US$ 21 billion target in partnerships and divestments defined in the Strategic Plan for the 2017/2018 biennium.

 

The tables below offer information on the divestment projects disclosed to the market since the second half of 2016 for which transaction closing has not yet occurred.

 

It should be noted that projects for which purchase and sale contracts have already been signed can advance to conclusion, and are detailed in table 2.

 

Terminated divestment projects which will be assessed to compose the new portfolio:

Project - Transfer of rights for a set of onshore fields

Stage - Process has already been suspended by injunction decision of the Federal Court of Sergipe, as disclosed in the material fact dated of 12/05/2016.

 

Project - Transfer of shallow water rights in the States of Sergipe and Ceará
