Petrobras informs that today it signed a contract with São Francisco Energia S.A., a subsidiary of Global Participações em Energia S.A., for the sale of three fuel oil-powered thermoelectric plants, located in Camaçari, in the state of Bahia (Camaçari Cluster UTEs).

The sale price is R$ 95 million and does not take into account the adjustments foreseen in the contract until the closing of the transaction, which is subject to the fulfillment of precedent conditions, such as the approvals of the Administrative Council for Economic Defense (CADE) and the National Agency for Electrical Energy (ANEEL).

It is worth clarifying that the divestment project of UTE Canoas, located in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, remains in progress and the subsequent steps will be disclosed to the market in due course.

This disclosure to the market is in accordance with Petrobras' internal rules and with the special regime for divestment of assets by federal mixed economy companies, provided for in Decree 9,188/2017.

This operation is aligned with the company's portfolio optimization strategy and capital allocation improvement, aiming to maximize value for its shareholders.
