—
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.

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

its resources in world-class assets in deep and ultra-deep waters, where Petrobras has demonstrated great competitive edge over
the years.
