Brasileiro S.A. – Petrobras announces that it has received R$ 360 million (US$ 65 million) last week related to the leniency
agreement executed by Samsung Heavy Industries. This cash arises from the first installment of the Samsung agreement of a total
amount of R$ 705.9 million that will be applied to the reimbursement for Petrobras.
With these values, Petrobras surpasses R$
5.3 billion in funds recovered through collaboration, leniency and repatriation agreements. In 2020, the company received R$ 797
million in reimbursement of amounts related to Car Wash Operation.
These reimbursements result from the condition

seeking the appropriate compensation for damages resulting from unlawful acts committed against the Company. Petrobras is co-plaintiff
