Rio de Janeiro, October 2, 2020

  • Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. - Petrobras, following up on the release disclosed on February 4, 2020, informs that its indirect controlled company, Petrobras Uruguay Sociedad Anónima de Inversiones (PUSAI), signed today with DISA Corporación Petrolífera S.A. (Disa), a contract for the sale of its entire stake in Petrobras Uruguay Distribuición S.A. (PUDSA), in Uruguay.

The value of the sale was US$ 61.70 million, to be paid in two installments: (a) US$ 6.17 million at the signing of the contract; and (b) US$ 55.53 million at the closing of the transaction, without considering the adjustments due.

The closing of the transaction is subject to the fulfillment of previous conditions, such as approval by the Uruguayan Competition Authority.

This disclosure complies with Petrobras internal rules and the special regime of asset divestment by federal mixed capital companies, provided for in Decree 9,188/2017.

This transaction is in line with the portfolio optimization strategy and the improvement of the company’s capital allocation, increasingly concentrating its resources in world-class assets in deep and ultra-deep waters, where Petrobras has demonstrated great competitive edge over the years.
