Rio de Janeiro, March 9, 2020 - Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. - Petrobras reports that today it signed an agreement with Eagle Exploração de Óleo e Gás Ltda. (Eagle) for the sale of 100% of its stakes in four onshore fields, located in the Tucano Basin, in the countryside of the state of Bahia, for US$ 3.01 million.

The sale price will be paid in two installments: (i) US$ 602,000 as of today; and (ii) US$ 2,408,000 on the closing date of the transaction, subject to adjustments due.

The closing of the transaction is subject to the fulfillment of precedent conditions, such as approvals by the Administrative Council for Economic Defense (CADE) and by the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP).

This disclosure complies with Petrobras' divestment guidelines and with the provisions of the special procedure for transfer of rights of exploration, development and production of oil, natural gas and other fluid hydrocarbons, provided for in Decree 9,355/2018.
