Rio de Janeiro, December 11 , 2020 - Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. – Petrobras, following up on the release disclosed on 01/03/20, informs that it signed today with Energizzi Energias do Brasil Ltda a contract for the sale of its entire stake in the onshore field of Rabo Branco, located in the Sergipe-Alagoas Basin, in the State of Sergipe.

The sale value is US$ 1.5 million, paid in a single installment in the contract signature. The closing of the transaction is subject to the fulfillment of previous conditions, such as the non-exercise of preferential rights by the current consortium Petrom Produção de Óleo e Gás Ltda.

This disclosure is in accordance with Petrobras' internal rules and with the provisions of the special procedure for assignment of rights on exploration, development and production of oil, natural gas and other fluid hydrocarbons, provided for in Decree 9,355/2018.

This transaction is in line with the strategy of portfolio optimization and improvement of the company's capital allocation, focusing its resources increasingly on deep and ultra-deep waters, where Petrobras has shown great competitive edge over the years.
