Petrobras on agreement with Amazonas Energia
—
Rio de Janeiro, April 7, 2021 – Petróleo
Brasileiro S.A. – Petrobras informs that it has signed, together with its indirect subsidiaries Breitener Tambaqui S.A. and Breitener
Jaraqui S.A., a legal agreement for the receipt of amounts that they claim against Amazonas Energia S/A (debtor) and Centrais Elétricas
Brasileiras S.A. - Eletrobras (jointly responsible). Also part of the agreement is the payment by Amazonas Energia to Petrobras of overdue
amounts remaining from thermal contracts billing.
The agreement involves the recovery of credits by
Breitener Tambaqui and Breitener Jaraqui, against Amazonas Energia S/A, in the amount of approximately R$ 436 million, updated up to January
18, 2021, related to 7 lawsuits, which will be suspended until the full settlement of the negotiated credits. The amount transacted will
be settled by the debtor (Amazonas Energia S/A) in 60 installments, calculated using the constant amortization system - CAS, updated based
on 124.75% of the CDI, from January 18, 2021 until full settlement.
The agreement also included the recovery of a credit
from Petrobras, in the amount of about R$ 3.2 million related to a 2018 fiscal year invoice, issued in September 2019, which will be settled
by Amazonas Energia S/A in cash, within 15 days from the signing of the agreement.
The signing of the agreement will generate a positive
effect on the consolidated result of Petrobras in the 2nd quarter of 2021 of R$ 328 million, net of tax effects. The information regarding
the amounts receivable from related parties, which includes receivables from the Eletrobras group, is presented in notes 14.1. of Petrobras'
2020 financial statements.
Petrobras understands that this agreement will anticipate
the receipt of the receivable, reduce the costs associated with the continuation of these disputes and terminate related controversies.
Petrobras holds a 93.66% interest in Breitener Energética
S.A., the latter being the full parent company of Breitener Tambaqui and Breitener Jaraqui.
