Petrobras informs about tax ruling

-

Rio de Janeiro, May 21, 2024 - Petróleo Brasileiro S.A - Petrobras informs that, on today's date, the STJ dismissed the Company's appeal against the collection of CIDE-Combustibles, in the approximate amount of R$ 987 million.

The case involves compliance with court injunctions, granted in favor of distributors and gas stations, by which Petrobras was prevented from withholding the contribution, levied on the sale of oil derivatives, from March 2002 to October 2003. With the revocation of these court decisions, Petrobras was assessed for the respective tax credit.

The company is evaluating whether an appeal can be lodged against today's decision.

Material facts will be disclosed to the market in due course.
