Petrobras about the Distance Voting Ballot

—

Rio de Janeiro, March 18, 2021 - Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. – Petrobras informs that it has re-submitted today the Distance Voting ballots for its Extraordinary General Meetings of April 12 (EGM) and Annual General Meetings of April 14 (AGM) with the following changes:

Distance Voting ballot – EGM of April 12

(i) Inclusion of Pedro Rodrigues Galvão de Medeiros, as a candidate appointed by minority shareholders in the election of the Board of Directors members, with the adoption of the multiple voting process.

Distance Voting ballot – AGM of April 14

(ii) Inclusion of candidates Patricia Valente Stierli and Robert Juenemann, appointed by minority shareholders holding common shares, for the positions of member and alternate in the separate election for the Fiscal Council.

The resubmission of the ballots does not affect any of the proposals previously provided for in the ballots and the votes contained in the ballots that may have already been sent to the Company will be considered valid. Shareholders who want to send a new ballot to replace previous ones, must do so observing the original deadline of 7 (seven) days before the meeting, that is, until April 5 for the EGM and April 7 for the AGM.

To prevent conflicting voting instructions, the Company recommends that shareholders who have already sent their ballots, to forward their eventual new voting instructions through the same channel previously used.
