Petrobras on partial award in arbitration

—

 

Rio de Janeiro, July 29, 2020 – Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. - Petrobras, due to the news published in the media yesterday, regarding the motion to vacate a partial arbitration award, clarifies that, differently from what was reported, there has not yet been a decision on the motion submitted by Petrobras. Despite recognizing, in theory, the appropriateness of judicial control over the arbitration award, the decision on the motion was postponed until after the defense has been presented by the defendants.

 

The order is not material and does not change the amount previously informed to the market, on July 21, 2020.

 

In compliance with the rules of the Market Arbitration Chamber, the motion is under seal, and the order is only communicated by Petrobras due to the violation of confidentiality and the consequent need to clarify the content of the published news.

 

Finally, Petrobras reiterates that it will continue to defend itself vigorously.
