Petrobras releases teaser for sale of its stakes in TBG and TSB

Rio de Janeiro, December 23, 2020 - Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. – Petrobras informs that it has started the opportunity disclosure stage (teaser), referring to the sale of its entire 51% stake in Transportadora Brasileira Gasoduto Bolivia-Brasil (TBG) and 25% in Transportadora Sulbrasileira de Gás S.A. (TSB).

The teaser, which includes key information about the opportunity, as well as the eligibility criteria for selection of potential participants, is available on the Petrobras website: https://www.investidorpetrobras.com.br/en/results-and-notices/teasers.

The main subsequent stages of the project will be reported to the market in due course.

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 with the improvement of the company’s capital allocation, increasingly concentrating its resources in deep and ultra-deep waters, where Petrobras has demonstrated great competitive edge over the years.
