NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

PETROBRAS

This interim financial information should be read together with the Company’s audited annual financial statements

(Expressed in millions of reais, unless otherwise indicated)

Basis of preparation

These interim financial statements present the significant changes in the period, avoiding repetition of certain notes to the financial statements previously reported, and present the consolidated information, considering Management’s understanding that it provides a comprehensive view of the Company’s financial position and operational performance, complemented by certain information of the Parent Company. Hence, this interim financial information should be read together with the Company’s audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, which include the full set of notes.

The interim consolidated and separate financial statements (Parent Company) have been prepared and are presented in accordance with IAS 34 – “Interim Financial Reporting” as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), and with the pronouncement CPC 21 (R1) – Demonstrações Intermediárias as issued by the Brazilian Accounting Pronouncements Committee (Comitê de Pronunciamentos Contábeis - CPC) and released by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (Comissão de Valores Mobiliários – CVM). All financial statements relevant information is being evidenced and corresponds to the ones used by the Company’s Management.

In July 2019, after the additional sale of its interest in Petrobras Distribuidora S/A (BR) through a secondary public offering of shares (follow on), Petrobras’ interest was reduced to 37.50% of the share capital, ceasing to be a Petrobras subsidiary. This operation was characterized as a “discontinued operation”. Thus, the consolidated statements of income and cash flow, for the compared period ended September 30, 2019, present the results and cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities in separate lines, as net income of discontinued operations. The statements of added value for the compared period ended September 30, 2019 also show the total added value to be distributed and the total added value distributed from discontinued operations, separately. The opening of the effects on the results for the period and cash flows of September 30, 2019, related to the discontinued operation are presented in note 7 of the Quarterly Information of September 30, 2019.

These interim financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors in a meeting held on October 28, 2020.

Summary of significant accounting policies

The same accounting policies and methods of computation were followed in these consolidated interim financial statements as those followed in the preparation of the annual financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Context, resilience measures and impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic

3.1 Context

In January 2020, China reported having identified a new variant of coronavirus, causing the disease COVID-19, which was spreading quickly in its population. On March 11, 2020, COVID-19 was a declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). Social isolation measures arising from this pandemic affected the global economic environment, reducing the demand for oil and its oil products and triggering a shock in the oil and gas industry.

In early April, members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC +) and other countries announced a new agreement providing for the reduction of their combined production by 9.7 million barrels per day (bpd) for May and June 2020. In July 2020, at a new meeting, OPEC decided not to change the planned schedule for implementing the combined production cuts, maintaining for July the reduction of 9.7 MM bpd (barrels of oil day) and 7.7 MM bpd as of August, remaining at this level until December 2020. In September 2020, the entity decided not to change the schedule planned for implementation of combined production cuts, maintaining reduction in 7.7 MM bpd. This agreement provides for a predefined cut schedule by the end of 2021.

The adversity in the global scenario caused the company to revise its top metric of indebtedness contained in the Strategic Plan 2020-2024, replacing the indicator of net debt / EBITDA by the indicator of gross debt. The approved gross debt target for 2020 was US$ 87 billion, the same level as that of 2019, being overtaken in the third quarter of 2020, mainly by prepaying loans and repurchasing and redeeming securities in the international capital market.

The company's projections indicate that the price of Brent oil converges to US$ 50 per barrel in the long run. This price assumption has not been modified for the preparation of the financial statements of September 30, 2020, in relation to those practiced in the first and second quarters of 2020. In addition, the company also regularly monitors the projection of its reference price assumptions of the short-term, compared to realized prices, with no change compared to those used in previous quarters.

3.2 Resilience measures

The Company, in line with the recommendations of the WHO and the Ministry of Health, announced measures to preserve the health of its employees and support the prevention of contagion in its administrative and operational areas home office, reduced work shifts in operational areas to minimize the number of workers commuting, rigorous cleaning of workplaces, distribution of PPE, testing of suspected cases, measuring body temperature and fast testing on pre-shipment for oil platforms, medical monitoring and access to telemedicine services.

The Brazilian governmental authorities, in turn, implemented a series of measures to face the collateral economic effects imposed by the current pandemic, at the time of growing and still uncertain dimensions, thus helping the productive sector, among which we highlight: Federal Government measures - (i) PIS and Cofins and Social Security-Companies’ Contribution - had the due amounts of competencies from March to May 2020 deferred for collection in August, October and November 2020, respectively; (ii) FGTS - had the collection of the amounts from March to May deferred in six equal installments to be paid from July to December 2020; (iii) System S (employer contributions to social entities that train and support employees) - 50% reduction in rates from April to June 2020; (iv) IOF - reduction from 3% to zero in certain operations carried out from April 3 to December 31 2020; and State of Pernambuco - (v) VAT tax rate on import of fuel (from April 9 to December 31 2020) - deferral of up to 30 days.

As a result of the abrupt reduction on the demand and prices of oil and fuel, the Company adopted a set of measures aiming at reducing costs, postponing cash outflows and optimizing its working capital, in order to ensure its financial strength and resilience of its businesses. The main measures are:

disbursement of committed credit lines (Revolving Credit Lines) in the total amount of US$ 8 billion, as well as two new lines of R$ 3.5 billion. In the third quarter of 2020, there was a total prepayment of credit lines committed abroad in the amount of US$ 7.6 billion (note 26). With the prepayment, these resources were available for new withdrawals;

postponement of the payment of the remaining dividends based on the annual result of 2019 (note 28);

postponement of judicial deposits to 2021, in particular of a tax nature;

reduction and postponement of expenses with human resources, with emphasis on: (i) postponement of payment for the 2019 Performance Award Program (note 13.1); (ii) postponement of the payment of 30% of the total monthly remuneration of the Board of Directors, President, Executive Officers and upper management, and between 10% to 30% of the monthly remuneration of lower management and consultants, from April to June 2020, settled in September 2020; and (iii) temporary change from shift and alert systems to administrative regime until December 31, 2020, being reassessed monthly or earlier according to the return to operational work;

reduction of capital expenditures scheduled for 2020 from US$ 12 billion to US$ 8.5 billion, mainly due to the postponement of exploratory activities of interconnection of wells and construction of production, refining facilities and the depreciation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar;

reduction of 200 thousand bpd (barrels of oil per day) of oil production from April 2020 (included the reduction of 100 thousands bpd announced in the end of March 2020), and a reduction in the utilization factor of refineries from 79% to 60% that contributed to the maintenance of reasonable clearance in the storage capacity, consequently avoiding the adoption of costly measures such as the chartering of ships to store liquids. However, with the evolution of the demand for our products performing better than expected, the Company opted for the gradual return to the previous level of average oil production, accompanied by an increase in the utilization factor of the refining facilities;

reduction in operating expenses with an additional decrease of US$ 2 billion, mainly through: (i) hibernation of platforms operating in shallow waters, with higher lifting costs per barrel, and for which, due to the drop in oil prices, the Company estimates negative cash flows; (ii) lower expenses with stoppages in wells and optimization of production logistics; and (iii) postponement of new relevant contracts for a period of 90 days, between April 1 and June 30, 2020;

negotiation efforts with suppliers resulted in a postponement of disbursements and reductions in the amount of R$ 7.3 billion in 2020, including agreements/order cancellations, scope reduction and price reduction. Deferred payments will be paid throughout 2021 and may include financial charges, according to individual negotiations with suppliers;

as a result of the structural reduction in the demand for natural gas in the entire Brazilian market, the company, according to the contractual provision, notified a declaration of force majeure resulting from the pandemic in the natural gas purchase agreement related to the Campo de Manati (GSA). The company maintained negotiations with the other agents in the natural gas chain with the same aim of reducing the effects resulting from the pandemic, remaining in constant monitoring of the current scenario and its developments on

the gas market. Accordingly, Petrobras worked together with the sellers of the natural gas purchase agreement for the Campo de Manati to seek to mitigate the effects of Force Majeure in this agreement and reduce potential controversies. In this sense, in view of the recovery of natural gas consumption with the mitigation of the effects of the pandemic, Petrobras signed an agreement with the Sellers that resulted in the reduction of potential controversies from June 2020 and reduce potential controversies.

Despite the challenging context imposed by COVID-19, the company achieved the following results in the period from January to September 2020: (i) increase in the average production of oil, NGL and natural gas; (ii) monthly production records reached in Búzios; (iii) increased oil exports; (iv) increased sales and production of oil products.

As a result of the implementation of the aforementioned measures, the Company, after simulating several stress scenarios, estimates that will be able to balance its financing and its cash flows. Thus, management believes that it has adequate resources to continue its operations in the short-term and, therefore, the going concern assumption is applied in the preparation of these interim financial statements.

3.3

Effects on these interim financial statements

The impacts of COVID-19 pandemic on the economic environment were considered in the preparation of these interim financial statements. Information on key estimates and judgments that require a high level of judgment and complexity in their applications and that could materially affect the Company's financial condition and results, were disclosed in the financial statements of December 31, 2019 and revised for this interim financial statements, in order to determine possible changes in assumptions and judgments arising from current market conditions.

The results of the revision of these assumptions and others came from COVID-19 are presented below:

the oil price and expectations for the growth of the world economy suffered a consistent decline throughout the 1st half of 2020, especially from the end of the 1st quarter of 2020. With the economic impacts, the global demand for oil products was also severely affected in that period. In this context, short, medium and long-term planning scenarios for macroeconomic and price assumptions were no longer compatible with those approved in the 2020-2024 Strategic Plan (SP), which meant that the company anticipated approval of a new set of premises. As a result, impairment losses on assets were recognized in the 1st quarter of 2020 in the amount of R$ 65 billion (note 20);

expected export values and consequently highly probable export values were impacted by the effects of the oil price war and COVID-19. Thus, the values of exports whose exchange variations were designated in hedge relationships for the months of April to December / 2020 and August to December / 2021 were no longer foreseen and there was a significant increase in the company's dollar x Real exchange exposure on 30 September 2020. As a result, the amount of R$ 2.6 billion was reclassified from shareholders’ equity to the statement of income, mainly in the first quarter of 2020 (note 30.2);

inventories adjusted to net realizable value, mainly from the first quarter of 2020, of R$ 1.5 billion (note 11);

the recognition of expected credit losses (PCE) in financial assets that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss maintained the criterion applied in recent quarters, due to the company's expectations of a prolongation of the current economic effects generated by combating COVID-19. For financial assets whose counterparties had ratings published by risk agencies, where the notes already reflected the effects of the pandemic, the information disclosed by such agencies was used to calculate the PCE. For other financial assets, in general, the expected effects of COVID-19 were incorporated into the PCE by identifying the deterioration in the probability of default based on observable data that considered the stratification of the debtor by area of operation, type of product and region. No relevant effects have been identified;

deferred tax credits were recognized based on the projected taxable profit for subsequent years (note 12.2);

reserve volume estimates are prepared reflecting, in an integrated manner, the projects in the company's Strategic Planning portfolio, technical uncertainties and assumptions such as prices and costs. The current estimates of the provision for the dismantling of the company's areas largely reflect liabilities that will be realized in the medium and long terms. Such assumptions used for the estimates are supported by the company's Strategic Planning and reserve estimates cycle, processes that express long-term views. In this context, the company evaluated, up to the third quarter of 2020, the main assumptions that form the cost of dismantling areas vis-à-vis the temporal formation structure of its abandonment liabilities and concluded that there are no relevant effects, so far, which impact the update of the provision set up in the annual financial statements for 2019. Additionally, in the third quarter of 2020, the company defined macro guidelines for the deployment of Strategic Planning 2021/2025 of E&P projects, which resulted in the recognition of loss as a result of the devaluation the Camarupim field, due to the decision not to continue its operations;

there were no changes in assumptions in the recognition of revenue contracts with customers. The expectation of the customer's completion of the obligation remains at the maturity of each transaction, classified as highly probable, subject only to the fulfillment of the precedent conditions contained in the sales contracts. Customers did not indicate their intention to breach or revise the contractual terms and conditions signed;

in the scope of the company's legal litigation, there are no cases related to COVID-19 with a risk of financial disbursement that directly impact the financial statements on September 30, 2020. However, the company became aware of some public civil actions in the labor field brought by unions, whose objects are related to the COVID-19 Crisis and to the Resilience Plan to reduce expenses. Such actions represent obligations to do and are divided into three groups, basically questioning: (i) two measures to contain personnel expenses contained in the Resilience Plan; (ii) sufficiency of preventive measures against the spread of COVID-19 and criterion for removing people from the risk group; and (iii) the union's participation in the Organizational Response Structure (Estrutura Organizacional de Resposta - EOR). The company is taking the appropriate legal measures for each case and the best estimate at the moment, when there is still no decision on the merits at first instance, is that the likelihood of loss is not probable;

In the second and third quarters of 2020, the Company accounted for R$ 1,262 within other income and expenses, as a result of the reduction in the level of activity, of which R$ 495 in the second quarter related to the lower processed feedstock at the refineries, and effect in the gas and energy plants, being R$ 330 in the third quarter and R$ 437 in the second quarter, due to rigs and platforms without programming.

Exclusion of VAT tax from PIS and COFINS tax basis

In June 2020, the company obtained a favorable and definitive court decision on the exclusion of VAT Tax from the calculation basis of PIS and Cofins contributions and recognized the amount of R$ 16,925, recorded in current assets as taxes and contributions. The credits refer to amounts unduly paid in competencies between the months of October 2001 and August 2020, which included dates that preceded the validity and mandatory of the electronic invoice and digital fiscal bookkeeping (SPED), causing greater complexity in the calculation of values. In this context, the amount of R $ 16,925 represents Management's best estimate based on prevailing calculation assumptions and available documents.

The net gain in the result, registered in the second quarter of 2020, was R$ 10,887, of which R$ 7,675 was recovered from taxes on other operating income, R$ 9,250 from monetary restatement in the financial result, partially offset by R$ 430 of tax expenses and R$ 5,608 of expenses with income tax and social contribution.

As of September 30, 2020, the amount monetarily restated by the Brazilian basic interest rate (Selic) is R$ 16,950, whose use of the credit will be made by offsetting it with federal taxes. The company enabled part of these credits related to PIS, of which R$ 2,371 were used in October 2020, while the portion of Cofins is pending for qualification, which is expected to be used in up to 12 months.

12.2 Tax amnesty programs – State Tax (Programas de Anistias Estaduais)

State of Rio de Janeiro

Petrobras, based on the management of risks associated with litigation and in line with the strategy of generating value through contingency management, decided to seek an agreement aiming at the payment of infraction notices and the carrying out of spontaneous denunciation with the state of Rio de Janeiro. The agreement, signed on the basis of VAT Tax Agreement 51/2020 and Law RJ 9,041/2020, allows a reduction of 90% of the amounts due as a fine and interest, resulting in a disbursement of approximately R$ 1,803.

The aforementioned agreement will allow the closing of contingencies related to the collection of VAT Tax and fines in the internal consumption operations of diesel oil used by the maritime units chartered by the company, considering the approval, in the same legal provision, of a reduction of the VAT Tax calculation base for 4.5% in internal supplies of marine diesel oil, instead of the previously required rate of 12%, thus reaching a definitive solution to the cause of these contingencies. The disbursement will occur in installments, 50% in cash and the remainder in installments until December 2020.

State of Espírito Santo

In the case of adhesion to the remission and amnesty program with the State of Espírito Santo, entered into under the terms of the VAT Tax Agreement 146/2019 and Decree 4.709-R / 2020, upon payment of R$ 197 in October 2020, tax debts will be terminated arising from differences in the appropriation of VAT Tax credits on property, plant and equipment and from differences in VAT Tax in oil and oil products operations. Additionally, the presumed VAT Tax credit system will be implemented, based on VAT Tax Agreement 146/2019, providing a definitive solution to the origin of this contingency.

The summary of the agreements signed with the states is presented below:

State	State Law/Decree	Benefits received	Outstanding debt (*)	Reduction Benefit	Amount considering benefit
RJ	Law 9,041/2020	90% reduction in interest and 90% in fines related to tax credits	3,110	(1,307)	1,803
ES	VAT Tax Decree 4,709-R/2020	Remission of 50% of the Tax due, 90% of the fine and interest due	783	(586)	197
			3,893	(1,893)	2,000

(*) R$ 3,188 billion of debts were classified as possible loss, and R$ 705 refers to spontaneous reporting.

Accordingly, on September 30, 2020, a provision of R$ 2,000 was recognized in current liabilities, as a counterpart to tax expense (R$ 1,931) and net finance income (expense) (R$ 69).

(*) Deferred income taxes on the remeasurement of the remaining interest in BR Distribuidora, as set out in note 30 to the audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2019.

The company conducts annual studies to determine the recognition of deferred tax credits in the financial statements. Exceptionally, due to COVID-19 and the impacts observed on the company's operations, this study was reviewed quarterly in 2020, based on the main assumptions such as the price of brent oil and the exchange rate approved by the Board of Directors. These quarterly reviews of the study confirmed the existence of future taxable income to support the maintenance of the balances of tax losses and deferred income and social contribution taxes recorded in assets, with realization expected to occur in the period from 2021 to 2027.

The increase in deferred tax credits in the period from January to September 2020 is mainly due to the exchange rate variation on the debt recorded for the most part in other comprehensive income in the amount of R$ 35,257, loss adjustments in the amount of recovery of assets of R$ 18,877 and constitution of tax losses in the amount of R$ 7,908, offset by R$ 4,493 of deferred income tax / social contribution referring to fixed assets.

Variable compensation

Performance Award Program

In the first quarter of 2020, the company paid, in advance, the amount of R$ 655 referring to the variable remuneration program obtained on the goals achieved for the year 2019, whose final payment is expected to occur until December 2020.

On April 28, 2020, the Board of Directors approved the program for 2020 that will be effective if the company presents a net income in the year 2020, associated with the fulfillment of the company's performance metrics and the individual performance of employees and results of the areas.

In the current scenario, where the company does not present net income from the period of January to September 2020, there was no provision for variable remuneration for the year 2020.

13.2

Voluntary Severance Programs

As of September 30, 2020, the company has four voluntary severance programs (PDV) and incentive retirement programs (PAI) that provide for the same legal and indemnity benefits whose registration deadlines ended between June and September 2020, totaling an average of 11,005 adhesions, including 505 from Transpetro:

i. PDV 2019 for retirees by the Social Security until promulgation of the Pension Reform;

ii. Specific PDV for employees working in assets/units in the process of divestment;

iii. Exclusive PDV for employees working in the company's corporate segment;

iv. PAI for employees entitled to retirement valid after promulgation of the Pension Reform; and

v. PDV for employees of Transpetro's sea and land staff.

The changes in the provision as of September 30, 2020 are shown below:

Closing Balance	5,247	565
Current	3,425	394
Non-current	1,822	171

On April 7, 2020, the Board of Directors approved adjustments to the current severance programs that generated an additional provision of R$ 1,290 in the second quarter of 2020, referring to the enrolled and already dismissed public, as well as approving the creation of the Incentive Retirement Program (PAI), a severance program with an enrollment period between May 6, 2020 and July 31, 2020, aimed at employees entitled to retirement who, after the promulgation of the Pension Reform, were unable to participate in the 2019 PDV.

The recognition of the provision for expenses on retirement programs occurred as employees joined them.

The expected impact of the indemnities on the company's cash will be diluted over the next three years, according to the expected dismissal date. In addition, the company chose to defer the payment of severance payments in two installments, one at the time of dismissal and the other in July 2021 or one year after the dismissal, whichever is greater.

Pension and medical benefits

On December 27, 2019, the Previc authorized the split of PPSP-R and PPSP-NR plans, aiming to gather participants of “Pre-70 group” in “PPSP-R Pre-70” and “PPSP-NR Pre-70”.

On March 18, 2020, the Petros Foundation's Deliberative Council approved the financial statements for 2019 with accumulated deficits of R$ 2,309 and R$ 1,093 for the Petrobras System Renegotiated (PPSP –R) and Petrobras System Non-Renegotiated (PPSP-NR) plans, respectively, in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil applicable to entities regulated by the Conselho Nacional de Previdência Complementar (CNPC).

The deficits determined by Petros have been calculated annually by an independent actuary and are already recognized in Petrobras' financial statements for 2019, in accordance with the technical pronouncements issued by the Comitê de Pronunciamentos Contábeis (CPC), approved by the Comissão de Valores Mobiliários (Brazilian Securities Commission) (CVM).

The main differences in accounting practices adopted in Brazil (CNPC and CVM) between Pension Fund and Sponsor to calculate the actuarial commitment, are shown below:


		2019
	PPSP-R	PPSP-NR

New deficit settlement plan (New PED)

On April 28, 2020, the new Deficit Equation Plan (New PED) of the Petros plans of the Petrobras Renegotiated and Non-Renegotiated System (PPSP-R and PPSP-NR), as well as the changes in the regulation referring to the reduction of the lump sum death benefit and others were approved by the Secretariat for Coordination and Governance of State-owned Companies (Secretaria de Coordenação e Governança das Empresas Estatais) (Sest) and, on May 5, 2020, by the National Superintendence of Supplementary Pension Plans (Superintendência Nacional de Previdência Complementar) (Previc).

The New PED, which covers deficits from 2015 to 2018 and incorporates 2019 results, was valued at R$ 33,700 on December 31, 2019. Of the total amount, the amount of R$ 15,620 will be borne by Petrobras in compliance with the principle of the contributory parity provided for in Constitutional Amendment No. 20/1998, of which R$ 13,566 through extraordinary contributions throughout the existence of the plans and R$ 2,054 from contributory contributions in 20 years as a counterpart of the company for the reduction of the lump sum death benefit.

The remaining deficit will be borne by the other sponsors and participants in the PPSP-R and PPSP-NR plans.

The current model differs from that applied in PED-2015 and aimed to reduce the extraordinary contributions to the monthly budget of most of the participants by: (i) extending the collection time to a lifetime, replacing 18 years; (ii) adoption of a single rate for assets and another for assisted; (iii) institution of an annual contribution of 30% on the 13th benefit; and (iv) reduction in the amount of the lump sum death benefit.

The New PED includes changes to some rights and changes in the regulations of the PPSP-R and PPSP-NR in accordance with Resolution 25 of CGPAR (Interministerial Commission for Corporate Governance and Administration of Corporate Participation of the Union), of December 6, 2018, which establishes guidelines and parameters for federal state companies regarding the sponsorship of pension plans.

The main changes in the regulation were: (i) establishment of a new criterion for calculating the amount of lump sum death benefit; (ii) disconnection from the Social Security, (iii) calculation of the benefit and (iv) readjustment by the IPCA. Since, except for item (i), these changes are only applicable to active participants without acquired rights (assets that did not retire by the Social Security before the regulation was amended).

Mid-term review of PPSP-R and PPSP-NR plans

In May 2020, with the approval of the New PED that included the amendment of the regulations, in addition to the contributory contribution obligation, the liability of the PPSP-R and PPSP-NR pension benefit plans decreased by R$ 1,479, with recognition of:

(i) R$ 51 of net gain in net income (loss), referring to the cost of the past service, of which R$ 2,430 of gain due to the reduction of the lump sum death benefit, R$ 325 of expenses due to other changes in regulations and R$ 2,054 of expenses due to the assumption the contributory contribution obligation; and

(ii) R$ 1,428 of net gain in other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity, referring mainly to the increase in the discount rate, partially offset by the loss in guarantee assets and by the recalculation of extraordinary contributions.

The value of the cost of past service calculated is the result of changes in the plan's regulations, mainly due to the reduction of the lump sum death benefit and the disconnection of the Social Security and the establishment of a reference unit of the plan (UR), which sets a single value, of R$ 4 thousand, adjusted annually by the IPCA, necessary to determine the value of Petros supplementation, replacing the value of the Social Security estimated, the active participants not granted.

The disconnection from the Social Security provides that the Petros benefit is granted to the participant regardless of retirement by Social Security.

The average duration of the actuarial liabilities of the PPSP-R and PPSP-NR plans, on May 31, 2020, is 13.14 years and 12.34 years, respectively (13.78 years and 11.05 years on December 31, 2019, respectively).

a) Debt instrument

The company entered into an obligation with Petros under the New PED in the amount of R$ 2,054, calculated based on the Previc rules, referring to the contributory contribution, equivalent to the revision of the lump sum death benefit for solving the deficit, provided for in the rules of the New PED. This contribution differs from the R$ 2,430 reduction in actuarial liabilities, calculated in accordance with CVM rules, basically due to the difference in the discount rate.

The debt instrument will be paid in 40 semiannual installments for a period of up to 20 years and updated based on the fixed actuarial goal of the plans, which is reviewed annually. In December 2019, the rate was 4.43% + IPCA for PPSP-R and 4.37% + IPCA for PPSP-NR.

As of September 30, 2020, the balance of the updated Debt Instrument totaled R$ 2,115.

b) Pension plan assets - PPSP-R and PPSP-NR plans

The balance of guaranteeing assets, considered in the mid-term review, positioned on May 31, 2020, of the PPSP-R and PPSP-NR plans, in the amount of R$ 38,431 and R$ 9,945, respectively (R$ 43,081 and R$ 10,847 in 2019), had a reduction in relation to the year of 2019 due to the devaluation of investments linked to the index of the Brazilian stock exchange (Ibovespa) and those linked to the index of federal government bonds indexed to inflation (IMAB5 +).

The assets are basically represented by investments in fixed income and variable income, according to the allocation limit provided for in the current regulation.

c) Update of liabilities of other plans - Petros 2, AMS and others

In view of the mid-term review of the PPSP-R and PPSP-NR plans, the company assessed the need to update the liabilities, net of guarantee assets, positioned in May 2020, of the other pension and health plans with the new discount rate calculated, given its representativeness in the value of the obligation, in order to obtain uniformity between the plans, using the sensitivity analysis of the year of 2019 (effect of the rate variation on the obligation) as a parameter for registration, as well as the guaranteeing assets positioned in May 2020. This update resulted in a reduction in liabilities and gains in other comprehensive income in shareholders' equity of R$ 7,647 mainly due to the increase in the discount rate.

d) Actuarial assumptions

The actuarial assumptions used to carry out the interim actuarial valuation of May 2020, compared with those adopted in the actuarial valuation of December 2019 were revisited and have not changed, except for the discount rate assumption presented below:

				09.30.2020				12.31.2019
	PPSP-R	PPSP-NR	PP2	AMS	PPSP-R	PPSP-NR	PP2	AMS
Real discount rate	4.18%	4.12%	4.56%	4.34%	3.40%	3.37%	3.56%	3.46%

The net actuarial gain of R$ 9,242 in the financial hypothesis is due to the increase in the discount rate on the actuarial liability in the amount of R$ 16,900, partially offset by the loss in the return on guarantee assets of R$ 7,658, mainly in the PPSP-R plans and PPSP-NR.

Total	196,967	200,183

The main contingent liabilities are:

Civil matters comprising: (i) litigations regarding Sete Brasil; (ii) administrative proceedings challenging an ANP order requiring Petrobras to pay additional special participation fees and royalties (production taxes) with respect to several fields; (iii) a public civil action that discusses the alleged illegality of the gas supply made by the Company to its Nitrogen Fertilizer Production Unit; and (iv) fines from regulatory agencies.

Environmental lawsuits, with emphasis on indemnities for collective material and moral damages to the environment and environmental fines related to the company's operation.

In the period from January to September 2020, in addition to the increase resulting from the monetary restatement of the amounts, there were reductions related to the following events: i) R$ 3,645 in civil litigation involving contractual issues; ii) R$ 2,447 reclassified to remote loss, related to differences in VAT tax rates on jet fuel sales made based on State Law 4,181 / 2003, of Rio de Janeiro, which was declared unconstitutional by the Federal Supreme Court, but later remitted by state legislation, in accordance with VAT tax Agreement 190/2017; (iii) R$ 2,381 reclassified to remote loss of assessment notices on VAT tax payment on natural gas imports from Bolivia; and (iv) R$ 3,188 of tax assessment notices on VAT Tax payment to the states of Rio de Janeiro and Espírito Santo for adhering to the amnesty program according to Note 12.2.

15.4

Legal proceedings arising from divestments

As of September 30, 2020, Petrobras is responsible for certain legal proceedings classified as possible loss in the amount of R$ 4,049 (R$ 2,470 on December 31, 2019) arising from the sale of 90% of the interest in Transportadora Associada de Gás ( TAG) in April 2019 and in the amount of R$ 296 (R$ 9 on December 31, 2019) arising from the sale of shares of Companhia Petroquímica de Pernambuco (PetroquímicaSuape) and Companhia Integrada Têxtil de Pernambuco (Citepe). The increase in the period is mainly due to the receipt of administrative procedures, pending by the Federal Revenue of Brazil, which question the partial approval of federal tax offset declarations.

15.5

Class action and related proceedings

With regard to collective action in the Netherlands, on January 29, 2020, the Court determined that shareholders who understand Portuguese and / or who bought shares through intermediaries or other agents who understand that language, among other shareholders, are subject to the clause of arbitration provided for in the company's Bylaws, remaining out of the collective action proposed by the Foundation. The Court also considered the binding effect of the agreement signed to close the United States' class action. In this way, the Foundation needs to demonstrate that it represents a sufficient number of investors to justify pursuing collective action in the Netherlands. The Foundation answered some of the questions raised by the Court on May 6, 2020 and Petrobras submitted its statement in relation to such responses on August 11, 2020.

In Argentina's arbitration, described in item 19.4.4 of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, the appeal filed by the Association has not yet been judged by the Argentine Supreme Court.

Regarding the criminal actions in Argentina, detailed in item 19.5 of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, it should be noted that, in the context of the action related to the alleged fraudulent offer of securities, the judge accepted the company's defense on September 14, 2020 and decided that Petrobras cannot be sued in a criminal action before the Argentine Justice. The Association appealed against this decision, and the appeal is pending judgment.

Petrobras responds to six arbitrations instituted before the Market Arbitration Chamber (CAM), linked to B3 - Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão. Five of these arbitrations were initiated by multiple national and foreign investors. The other, established by an association that is not a shareholder of the company, intends to be collective, through representation of all minority shareholders of Petrobras that acquired shares in B3 between January 22, 2010 and July 28, 2015. Investors intend that the company indemnify them for the alleged financial losses caused by the decrease in the price of Petrobras shares listed on the stock exchange in Brazil, resulting from the acts revealed by Operation Lava Jato.

These arbitrations involve very complex issues, which are subject to substantial uncertainties and which depend on factors such as: unprecedented legal theses, schedules yet to be defined by the Arbitral Courts, the obtaining of evidence in the hands of third parties or opponents and expert analysis.

Furthermore, the claims made are broad and span several years. The uncertainties inherent in all of these issues affect the amount and timing of the final decision on these arbitrations. As a result, the company is unable to produce a reliable estimate of the potential loss in these arbitrations.

Depending on the outcome of all these cases, the company may have to pay substantial amounts, which could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, consolidated results or consolidated cash flow in a given period. However, Petrobras does not acknowledge responsibility for the supposed losses alleged by investors in these arbitrations, nor is it appropriate for collective arbitration.

Most of these arbitrations are still far from an outcome, either in preliminary stages or beginning the evidence production phase, so that there is no provision for the judgment of the respective arbitral courts. However, in one of the arbitrations, proposed by two institutional investors, on May 26, 2020, a partial arbitral award was issued that indicates the company's responsibility, but does not determine the payment of amounts by Petrobras, nor does it end the procedure. This arbitration is confidential, as well as the others in progress, and the partial award - which does not represent a CAM position, but only the three arbitrators that make up this arbitration panel - does not extend to the other existing arbitrations.

On July 20, 2020, Petrobras filed a lawsuit for the annulment of this partial arbitration award, as it understands that it contains serious flaws and improprieties. This lawsuit is still pending and has not yet been judged. In compliance with CAM rules, the lawsuit is pending in secret. Petrobras reiterates that it will continue to defend itself vigorously, out of respect for its current shareholders, in all arbitrations to which it is a party.

The review of the key assumptions in the company's planning, when preparing the financial statements of March 31, 2020, impacted by the effects of COVID-19 and the supply and demand crisis in the oil and gas industry, did not result in material changes in the provision for decommissioning costs, given its formation, for the most part, long term, and composition of its cost structure, basically in dollars. This position has not been changed for the preparation of the financial statements of September 30, 2020.

The “Lava Jato (Car Wash) Operation” and its effects on the Company

The Company has monitored the progress of investigations under the “Lava Jato” Operation and, in the preparation of these unaudited interim financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2020, did not identify any additional information that would affect the adopted calculation methodology to write off, in the third quarter of 2014, amounts overpaid for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment. The Company will continue to monitor these investigations for additional information in order to assess their potential impact on the adjustment made.

During the period from January to September 2020, it was recognized, as a result of leniency agreements and collaboration and repatriation agreements, the reimbursement of R$ 515. These funds are presented as other operating income and add up to the amount of R$ 4,151 recognized in previous periods, aiming at the accumulated position.

17.1

U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission – CFTC

On May 30, 2019, Petrobras was contacted by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission - CFTC with requests for information on the trading activities that are the subject of investigation in Operation Lava Jato. Petrobras will continue to cooperate with the authorities, including the CFTC, with respect to any investigation.

17.2

Order of civil inquiry - Brazilian Public Prosecutor’s Office

On December 15, 2015, the State of São Paulo Public Prosecutor’s Office issued the Order of Civil Inquiry 01/2015, establishing a civil proceeding to investigate the existence of potential damages caused by Petrobras to investors in the Brazilian stock market. The Brazilian Attorney General’s Office (Procuradoria Geral da República) assessed this civil proceeding and determined that the São Paulo Public Prosecutor’s Office has no authority over this matter, which must be presided over by the Brazilian Public Prosecutor’s Office. The Company has provided all relevant information.

Expenses and Volumes Equalization Agreements

Petrobras has Production Individualization Agreements (AIP) signed in Brazil with partner companies (Shell, Petrogal, Repsol and Total) in E&P consortia. These agreements will result in equalizations payable or receivable for expenses and production volumes related to the Tupi, Sépia, Atapu, Berbigão, Sururu, Albacora Leste and others fieldands.

Tupi, Sépia and Atapu

On April 30, 2020, Petrobras and partner companies in the shared deposits of Tupi, Sépia and Atapu signed the Expenses and Volumes Equalization Agreements (AEGV) from which Petrobras received R$ 2,347 on May 29 2020, due to the equalization as a result of the increase in participation in the three deposits, of which R$ 3,860 is recorded in other operating income and R$ 1,513 is recorded in property, plant and equipment.

On May 1, 2020, as a result of these Agreements, PNBV, a Petrobras subsidiary, signed Share Purchase Agreements for the additional 2.589% interest in Tupi BV (Tupi), for the amount of R$ 509 (US$ 84 million), and an additional 47.613% interest in Iara BV (Atapu) for R$ 4,525 (US$ 805 million), subject to price adjustments. The allocation of the acquisition price of the participations was based on the relative fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, generating an increase in the amount of R$ 5,034 (US$ 889 million), mainly in property, plant and equipment.

On September 15, 2020, a price adjustment occurred, resulting in additional payments on the acquisition of interest in Tupi BV and Iara BV, in the amount of R$ 73 (US$ 13 million), impacting property, plant and equipment.

Equalization provisions: Berbigão, Sururu, Albacora Leste and others

As of September 30, 2020, Petrobras has an estimated amount to pay for the execution of the AIPs submitted to the ANP for approval of R$ 281 (R$ 456 on December 31, 2019). In the period from January to September 2020, these agreements resulted in payments and recognition of additions and write-offs in fixed assets, in addition to other net expenses of R$ 119, reflecting the best available estimate of the assumptions used in calculating the calculation base. In the third quarter of 2020, the revision of estimates of amounts payable of deposits, mainly Berbigão, resulted in R$ 733 in other operating expenses.

18.2

Capitalization rate used to determine the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalization

The capitalization rate used to determine the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalization was the weighted average of the borrowing costs applicable to the borrowings that were outstanding during the period, other than borrowings made specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020, the capitalization rate was 6.05% p.a. (6.30% p.a. for the same period of 2019).

All agreements whose signature bonuses were paid in the last quarter of 2019, were signed with the regulatory authorities in the first quarter of 2020.

In the third quarter of 2020, a write-off of R$ 800 was recognized related to the Peroba exploratory block.

Impairment

The Company annually tests its assets for impairment or when there is an indication that their carrying amount may not be recoverable.

In the period from January to September 2020, two events occurred, concentrated in the first quarter, with significant and adverse effects on the oil and oil products market: (i) the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, with an abrupt reduction in the circulation of people, causing a double supply and demand shock with retraction in world activity and (ii) failure in negotiations between members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and other producers, led by Russia, to define production quotas, which contributed to the increase global oil supply and price reduction in early March.

These events led the company to adopt a series of measures aimed at preserving cash generation, in order to reinforce its financial strength and resilience of its businesses, as well as to review, and approve in the Board of Directors, some of its key premises planning, such as Brent price, exchange rate, derivative spreads, among others. It should be noted that this set of assumptions remains the same, with no changes until the third quarter. Additionally, in order to monitor relevant fluctuations between its planning cycles, the company controls the projection of its short-term reference price assumptions, compared to realized prices, without identifying effects that would result in the modification of the assumptions used in previous quarters.

Reserve volume estimates are prepared reflecting, in an integrated manner, the projects in the company's Strategic Planning portfolio, technical uncertainties and assumptions such as prices and costs. As of September 30, 2020, there was no change in the company's portfolio of projects, except the one mentioned in Note 3.3, or in the reserve volumes that impacted the quarterly financial statements.

In this scenario, the company assessed the economic recoverability of its assets and in the period from January to September 2020, impairment losses of R$ 65,229 were recognized, fully concentrated in the first quarter of 2020, with emphasis on:

i) the effect of a new set of planning assumptions on the recoverable amount of several E&P fields, mainly in the CGUs Roncador, Marlim Sul; Polo Norte, Albacora Leste, Polo Berbigão-Sururu, Polo CVIT, and Mexilhão;

ii) hibernation of fields and platforms in shallow waters, affecting the CGUs Polo Norte, Polo Ceará-Mar, Polo Ubarana and the Caioba, Guaricema and Camorim fields.

The indicative assessments conducted by the company during the third quarter of 2020 pointed to the need for additional registrations of losses for devaluation in the Camarupim oil and gas production field in the amount of R$ 258, due to the cancellation of the project highlighted in the note 3.3. This loss was offset by reversals of impairment that occurred in shallow water fields and onshore fields, reclassified to the group of assets held for sale, in the amount of R$ 188 and in FAFEN SE and BA, reflecting the lease agreements started in the third quarter of 2020, in the amount of R$ 117.

In the period from January to September 2019, property, plant and equipment, intangible and assets held for sale recorded net losses in their recoverable amounts in the amount of R$ 2,491, as highlighted in note 20.1.3.

The following is the total impairment loss on assets, net of reversal, by nature of assets or CGUs, recognized in the income for the year:

20.1

Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets

20.1.1. Review of Cash Generating Units:

From January to September 2020, the company identified and assessed changes in CGU Polo Norte (E&P Segment):

i) Polo Norte: exclusion of the PCH-1, PCH-2 and PNA-2 platforms and of the fields of Anequim, Bagre, Cherne, Congro, Garoupa, Malhado, Namorado, Parati and Viola, which had their productions hibernated and without forecast of resumed. The CGU Polo Norte starts to be formed by the Marlim, Albacora and Voador fields and remaining platforms;

ii) Polo Fazenda Alegre: exclusion of Campo Grande, Córrego Cedro Norte, Córrego Cedro Norte Sul, Córrego Dourado, Fazenda São Jorge, Inhambu, Jacutinga, Lagoa Bonita, Seriema and Tabuiaiá fields. The CGU Polo Fazenda Alegre is now formed by the Cancã and Fazenda Alegre fields.

20.1.2. Planning assumptions used in Impairment tests:

On March 31, 2020, the company's Board of Directors approved a new set of planning assumptions. The estimates of the key assumptions used in the cash flow projections to determine the value in use of the CGUs, for the tests carried out on March 31, 2020, were:

	2020	2021	2022	2023	2024	Long term Average
Average Brent (US$/bbl)	25	30	35	40	45	50
Average Brazilian Real (excluding inflation) - Real /U.S. dollar exchange rate (2019 prices)	5.09	5.04	4.69	4.46	4.28	3.78

At December 31, 2019, average Brent prices and Brazilian real/U.S. dollar average exchange rates used were:

	2020	2021	2022	2023	2024	Long term Average
Average Brent (US$/bbl)	65	65	65	65	65	65
Average Brazilian Real (excluding inflation) - Real /U.S. dollar exchange rate (2018 prices)	3.85	3.79	3.75	3.72	3.70	3.60

The company changed its set of macroeconomic planning assumptions, presented in the table above, as it considers, among other factors, that there will be a slow recovery in demand, with a moderate change in habits in developed economies, in which it is believed that long-term equilibrium occurs at a lower level of demand. This assessment considers that:

structural change in the world economy, with permanent effects arising from this economic shock, including changes observed in consumer habits, which tend to be permanent;

increased world oil inventories, slowing down the rebalancing of supply and demand; and

oil consuming industries, given the new scenario, will not keep their previously projected demands in the long-term, reducing consumption levels.

20.1.3. Main results of the tests for impairment of assets:

From January to September 2020, information on the main impairment losses on property, plant and equipment or on intangible assets, concentrated in the first quarter of 2020, is presented below:

a) Producing properties in Brazil – Jan-Sep/2020

Our valuations of assets linked to oil and gas production fields in Brazil resulted in the recognition of net losses in the amount of R$ 64,502 (losses of R$ 258 in the period from July to September 2020). The post-tax discount rate in constant currency, applied in the recoverability tests of March 31, 2020, to the exploration and production sector in Brazil, was 7.3% p.a (6.7% p.a. on December 31, 2019). This amount was mainly due to:

Losses in the amount of R$ 57,877 (loss of R$ 258 in the period from July to September 2020), mainly related to the CGUs and corporate assets that provide services in the fields below, reflecting the new set of key planning assumptions for the medium and long term vision, in particular, a drop in Brent price, devaluation of the Real against the Dollar and retractions in GDP and demand. The main losses were:

CGU	Basin	Area	Impairment
Roncador	Campos Basin	Post-Salt	(16,650)
Marlim Sul	Campos Basin	Post-Salt	(11,717)
Polo Norte	Campos Basin	Post-Salt	(9,952)
Albacora Leste	Campos Basin	Post-Salt	(3,033)
Polo Berbigão-Sururu	Santos Basin	Pre-Salt	(2,195)
Polo CVIT	Espírito Santo Basin	Post-Salt	(1,556)
Mexilhão	Santos Basin	Post-Salt	(1,009)
Polo Parque das Baleias	Campos Basin	Post-Salt	(913)
Polo Sapinhoá	Santos Basin	Pre-Salt	(704)
Papa-Terra	Campos Basin	Post-Salt	(687)
Araçás	Reconcavo Basin	Land and Shallow Waters	(599)
Carmópolis	Sergipe Basin	Land and Shallow Waters	(586)
Polo Uruguá	Santos Basin	Post-Salt	(506)
Others			(7,770)
Total			(57,877)

For these CGUs, the impairment assessment carried out on December 31, 2019 for Polo CVIT, Papa-Terra and Polo Uruguá resulted in the recognition of losses, while Roncador, Mexilhão and Araçás presented recoverable values close to the respective book values.

Derivatives not designated for hedge accounting
Future contracts and forward contracts (swap)	Crude oil and oil products - price changes	−	(119)	(237)

⁽*⁾ The probable scenarios were calculated considering the following variations for risks: Oil and Derivatives Prices: fair value as of September 30, 2020 / Real x Dollar - 6% appreciation of the real. Source: Focus. Reasonably possible and remote scenarios consider 25% and 50% deterioration in the associated risk variables, respectively.

30.1

Risk management of crude oil and oil products prices

Petrobras has a preference for exposure to the price cycle to the systematic protection of transactions for the purchase or sale of goods, whose objective is to meet its operational needs, using derivative financial instruments. However, subject to the analysis of the business environment and the prospects for carrying out the Strategic Plan, the execution of an occasional hedging strategy with derivatives may be applicable.

a)Crude oil

In March 2020, in order to preserve the Company's liquidity, Petrobras approved a protection strategy for systemic oil operations in order to protect the revenue flows arising from these transactions against uncertainties in the prices of exports of oil feedstock already loaded, but not priced, due to the high volatility of the current context, generated both by the effects of falling oil prices and by the effects of COVID-19 on world consumption of oil and oil products.

As a result of this strategy, forward and swap transactions were carried out between April and May 2020, with effects on the result between April and August this year. Swap transactions do not require an initial disbursement, whereas future transactions require margin deposits, depending on the volume contracted.

b)Protection Strategy adopted in 2019

For more information on these operations, see note 36.1 of Petrobras financial statements of December 31, 2019.

c)Other commodity derivative transactions

Petrobras, using its assets, positions and proprietary and market knowledge from its operations in Brazil and abroad, seeks to capture market opportunities through the purchase and sale of oil and oil products, which can occasionally be optimized with the use of commodity derivative instruments to manage price risk in a safe and controlled manner.

30.2 Foreign exchange risk management

a)Cash Flow Hedge involving the Company’s future exports

The carrying amounts, the fair value as of September 30, 2020, and a schedule of expected reclassifications to the statement of income of cumulative losses recognized in other comprehensive income (shareholders’ equity) based on a US$ 1.00 / R$ 5.6407 exchange rate are set out below:

				Present value of hedging instrument notional value at September 30, 2020
Hedging Instrument	Hedged Transactions	Nature of the Risk	Maturity Date	US$ million		R$
Foreign exchange gains and losses on proportion of non-derivative financial instruments cash flows	Foreign exchange gains and losses on a portion of highly probable future monthly exports revenues	Foreign Currency – Real vs U.S. Dollar Spot Rate	From out/2020 to sep/2030		51,824	292,323

Changes in the present value of hedging instrument notional value	US$ millon	R$
Amounts designated as of December 31, 2019	87,651	353,295
Additional hedging relationships designated, designations revoked and hedging instruments re-designated	(5,102)	(31,670)
Exports affecting the statement of income	(10,564)	(51,282)
Principal repayments / amortization	(20,161)	(100,119)
Foreign exchange variation	−	122,099

Nominal value of hedging instrument (finance debt and lease liability) on September 30, 2020	57,246	322,907

From January to September of 2020, the expected export values and consequently the highly probable export values were impacted by the effects of the oil price war and the COVID-19.

Thus, the value of exports designated for hedge relationships are no longer considered highly probable, but are still expected to occur, and as a consequence the hedge relationships were revoked at March 31, 2020, in the amount of US$ 35,774 (R$ 185,982). The foreign exchange variation accounted for these operations within other comprehensive income up to the end of the quarter remains in shareholders' equity, and will be reclassified to the statement of income when exports occur. These revocations were responsible for the relevant increase in Dollar/Real exposure, which on September 30, 2020 was negative by R$ 229,960, according to the table 30.2 c - “Sensitivity analysis for foreign exchange risk on financial instruments”.

In addition to the impacts reported above, exports whose exchange variations were designated in hedge relationships for the months of April to December / 2020 and August to December / 2021 are no longer foreseen, and were reclassified from shareholders’ equity to the statement of income for the period from January to September 2020, in the amount of R$ 2,570, mainly in March 2020.

In the period from January to September 2020, the Company also recognized a R$ 5 loss within foreign exchange gains (losses) due to ineffectiveness (a R$ 18 loss in the first half of 2019).

The ratio of future exports for which cash flow hedge accounting was designated to the highly probable future exports is 100% (91.2% on December 31, 2019).

A roll-forward schedule of cumulative foreign exchange losses recognized in other comprehensive income as of September 30, 2020 is set out below:

	Exchange rate	Tax effect	Total
Balance at January 1,2019	(50,414)	17,141	(33,273)
Recognized in shareholders' equity	(13,469)	4,580	(8,889)
Reclassified to the statement of income - occurred exports	12,397	(4,215)	8,182
Balance at December 31, 2019	(51,486)	17,506	(33,980)
Recognized in shareholders' equity	(122,100)	41,514	(80,586)
Reclassified to the statement of income - occurred exports	15,604	(5,305)	10,299
Reclassified to the statement of income - exports no longer expected to occur	2,570	(874)	1,696
Balance at September 30, 2020	(155,412)	52,841	(102,571)

Changes in expectations regarding the realization of export prices and volumes in future revisions of the business plans may determine the need for additional reclassifications of the exchange variation accumulated in shareholders' equity to results. A sensitivity analysis with an average Brent oil price of US$ 10/barrel lower than in the last review of the 2020-2024 Strategic Plan, it would indicate the need to reclassify the deferred exchange variation and registered in shareholders' equity for exports from October 2020 to December 2023, in the amount of R$ 4.3 billion.

A schedule of expected reclassification of cumulative foreign exchange losses recognized in other comprehensive income to the statement of income as of September 30, 2020 is set out below:

b) Information about open contracts

As of September 30, 2020, the company has outstanding swap contracts - IPCA x CDI and CDI x Dollar, swap - Pound sterling x Dollar and Non Deliverable Forward (NDF) - Pound sterling x Dollar.

Cross currency swap –IPCA x CDI and CDI x dollar

Changes in future interest rate curves (CDI) may have an impact on the company's results, due to the market value of these swap contracts. A sensitivity analysis on future interest rate curves (CDI) with a constant increase (parallel shock) of 100 basis points, keeping all other variables constant, would result in a positive impact on the result of approximately R$ 21, while a constant reduction (parallel shock) of 100 basis points, keeping all other variables constant, would result in a negative impact of approximately R$ 15.

For more information on such contracts, see note 36.2 to Petrobras' financial statements of December 31, 2019.

c)Sensitivity analysis for foreign exchange risk on financial instruments

A sensitivity analysis is set out below, showing the probable scenario for foreign exchange risk on financial instruments, computed based on external data along with stressed scenarios (a 25% and a 50% change in the foreign exchange rates), except for assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries, when transacted in a currency equivalent to their respective functional currencies.

30.3 Interest rate risk management

The table below informs, in the probable scenario, the amount to be disbursed by Petrobras with the payment of interest related to the debts with floating interest rate on September 30, 2020. The possible and remote scenarios express a sensitivity analysis in which there is an increase of 25% and 50%, respectively, in the interest rates of these debts (Libor, TJLP, CDI, TR and IPCA). The results presented for the probable scenario and the sensitivity scenarios are associated with a period of 12 months.

		Consolidated
Operations	Risk	Probable Scenario (*)	Possible Scenario (∆ of 25%)	Remote Scenario (∆ of 50%)
Financing	Floating Rates	4,228	4,913	5,598
(*) The probable scenario was calculated considering the quotations of currencies and floating rates to which the debts are indexed.

30.4

Liquidity risk

The company regularly evaluates market conditions and can carry out repurchase transactions for its securities or its subsidiaries in the international capital market, by various means, including tender offers, securities redemptions and / or open market operations, provided they are in line with the company's liabilities management strategy, which aims to improve the amortization profile and the cost of debt.

Measures to protect the Company's liquidity

As a result of the abrupt reduction on the demand and prices of oil and fuel, caused by the impact of the escalation of the COVID-19 all over the world, in the same time of an increase in oil supply, the Company adopted a set of measures to reduce cash outflows and cash preservation in a scenario of uncertainty, in order to ensure its financial strength and the resilience of its businesses.

The measures adopted by the Company to protect liquidity are described in note 3.

31.7

Petroleum and alcohol account - receivables from the Brazilian Government

On March 11, 2020, the Federal Union filed a Challenge to the Compliance with the Judgment and was determined to Petrobras to express its opinion on this challenge.

After the company's statement, through which Petrobras recognized the excess of execution, the judge partially accepted the Union's challenge, only with regard to the update (interest and monetary correction) of the principal amount, since June 30, 2004. Other federal claims, such as compensation and prescription, were rejected.

On June 23, 2020, the judge approved the calculations presented by the Federal Union on the base date of February 2020 and with which Petrobras agreed. However, the Union filed an appeal for a declaration embargo, which was largely dismissed on August 31, 2020.

On September 14, 2020, the Union petitioned agreeing with the content of the decision rendered and, at the same time, requested that the National Treasury manifest itself in order to comply with the Legal Process Business signed between Petrobras and the National Treasury.

On September 22, 2020, Petrobras indicated the tax foreclosures for which the amounts relating to the precatory to be issued will be allocated. Petrobras is awaiting final settlement by the Federal Court and the final decision of the process.

As of September 30, 2020, the amount to be reimbursed by the Federal Government, plus interest and adjusted by the TR rate, is R$ 1,239 (R$ 1,226 on December 31, 2019), and is classified in long-term accounts receivable. The update regarding the IPCA-E claimed by the company remains classified as a contingent asset and totals R$ 1,203 on September 30, 2020.

Subsequent events

Petros 3 Plan (PP-3)

On October 1, 2020, the Board of Directors approved the submission of the PP-3 for analysis by the Secretariat for Coordination and Governance of State-owned Companies (Secretaria de Coordenação e Governança das Empresas Estatais - SEST) and to the National Superintendence of Private Pension Plans (Superintendência Nacional de Previdência Complementar - PREVIC), after adjustments to the Plan's regulations.

PP-3 will be an exclusive pension plan option for voluntary and punctual migration of participants and assisted by the PPSP-R and PPSP-NR plans, both post-70.

Before being effectively created, the new plan will also undergo a technical and administrative feasibility study, which can only be completed after defining the mass of participants who have opted for PP-3. If the viability is not confirmed, the participants who have opted for the migration will continue on the plan of origin.

Sale of Petrobras Uruguay Distribución S.A. (PUDSA)

On October 2, 2020, Petrobras Uruguay Sociedad Anónima de Inversiones (PUSAI) signed with DISA Corporación Petrolífera S.A. (Disa), a contract for the sale of its entire stake in Petrobras Uruguay Distribución S.A. (PUDSA), in Uruguay.

The transaction amounted to US$ 61.70 million, to be paid in two installments: (a) US$ 6.17 million paid upon signing the contract; and (b) US$ 55.53 million at the close of the transaction. The final amount of the transaction is subject to adjustments until the closing date of the transaction.

The conclusion of the transaction is subject to the fulfillment of precedent conditions.

Global bond pricing and repurchase offer

On October 13, 2020, Petrobras announced the pricing of the new bond issue through the reopening of the PGF 5.60% Global Notes maturing in January 2031, in the total volume of US$ 1 billion, through its wholly owned subsidiary Petrobras Global Finance BV (PGF). On the same date, Petrobras announced an offer to repurchase securities in the international capital market, by PGF, in the limit of US$ 2 billion.

The global bond repurchase offer made by PGF was completed on October 22, 2020 and the principal volume delivered by investors was US$ 1,666 million equivalent, with a total payment of US$ 1,943 million according to the conditions proposed in the offer, excluding capitalized and unpaid interest.

Acquisition of FPSO P-71

On October 27, 2020, after discussions with its partners in the BM-S-11 Consortium (Tupi field), the company signed a commitment to purchase the FPSO P-71 (Floating Production Storage and Off-Take), under construction, through its subsidiary Petrobras Netherlands BV - PNBV, subject to the fulfillment of precedent conditions. Then, the estimated disbursement of Petrobras will be US$ 353 million, equivalent to the share of the partners' participation in the Consortium. The P-71 will have a production capacity of 150 mbpd and will be allocated in the Itapu field.

Review of the Shareholder Remuneration Policy

On October 27, 2020, the Board of Directors approved the revision of the Shareholder Remuneration Policy, in order to allow Management to propose the payment of dividends compatible with the company's cash generation, even in years when it is not determined accounting income.

With the changes approved, in the scenario in which the company's gross indebtedness is above US$ 60 billion, the proposal for the distribution of dividends may be presented, without accounting income, when there is a reduction of net debt in the previous twelve-month period, in case Management believes that the company's financial sustainability will be preserved. The distribution proposal should be limited to reducing net debt.

The company may also, in exceptional cases, propose the payment of extraordinary dividends, exceeding the mandatory minimum legal dividend or the annual amount determined from the formula (Remuneration = 60% x (Operating cash flow - capital expenditure (CAPEX)) , when its gross indebtedness is less than US$ 60 billion, even in the event of non-verification of accounting income.

In all cases, the distribution of dividends must comply with the provisions of the applicable legislation, including article 201 of the Brazilian Corporation Law (Law No. 6,404/1976).

Report on the review of quarterly information - ITR

(A free translation of the original report in Portuguese, as filed with the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM), prepared in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil, rules of the CVM and of the International Financial Reporting Standards - IFRS)

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. - Petrobras

Rio de Janeiro - RJ

Introduction

We have reviewed the interim accounting information, individual and consolidated, of Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. - Petrobras (“the Company”), identified as Parent Company and Consolidated, respectively, included in the quarterly information form - ITR for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, which comprises the balance sheet as of September 30, 2020 and the respective statements of income and comprehensive income for the three-months and six-months period then, and statements of changes in shareholders' equity and of cash flows for the nine-months period then ended, including the explanatory notes.

The Company`s Management is responsible for the preparation of these interim accounting information in accordance with the CPC 21(R1) and the IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board - IASB, as well as the presentation of these information in accordance with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission, applicable to the preparation of quarterly information - ITR. Our responsibility is to express our conclusion on this interim accounting information based on our review.

Scope of the review

We conducted our review in accordance with Brazilian and International Interim Information Review Standards (NBC TR 2410 - Revisão de Informações Intermediárias Executada pelo Auditor da Entidade and ISRE 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, respectively). A review of interim information consists of making inquiries primarily of the management responsible for financial and accounting matters and applying analytical procedures and other review procedures. The scope of a review is significantly less than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards and, accordingly, it did not enable us to obtain assurance that we were aware of all the material matters that would have been identified in an audit. Therefore, we do not express an audit opinion.

KPMG Auditores Independentes, uma sociedade simples brasileira e firma-membro da rede KPMG de firmas-membro independentes e afiliadas à KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”), uma entidade suíça.

KPMG Auditores Independentes, a Brazilian entity and a member firm of the KPMG network of independent member firms affiliated with KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”), a Swiss entity.

Conclusion on the individual and consolidated interim accounting information

Based on our review, we are not aware of any fact that might lead us to believe that the individual and consolidated interim accounting information included in the aforementioned quarterly information was not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with CPC 21(R1) and IAS 34, issued by the IASB, applicable to the preparation of the quarterly review - ITR, and presented in accordance with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission.

Other matters - Statements of added value

The individual and consolidated statements of value added for the nine-months period ended September 30, 2020, prepared under the responsibility of the Company's management, and presented as supplementary information for the purposes of IAS 34, were submitted to the same review procedures followed together with the review of the Company's interim financial information. In order to form our conclusion, we evaluated whether these statements were reconciliated to the interim financial information and to the accounting records, as applicable, and whether their form and content are in accordance with the criteria set on Technical Pronouncement CPC 09 - Statement of Value Added. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying statements of value added were not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the individual and consolidated interim financial information taken as a whole.
