Petrobras informs on Board of Directors' Statement on dividend distribution

Petrobras informs that the Company's Board of Directors, at a meeting held today, in continuity with its process of clarification on the destination of the remaining profit for the 2023 financial year and the possibility of distributing extraordinary dividends, during the presentation to monitor the execution of the 2024-2028+ Strategic Plan, took note of the explanations and data presented by the Finance and Investor Relations Executive Office.

Considering dynamic scenarios, such as the evolution of Brent, the exchange rate and other factors, the Board of Directors considered, by majority vote, that the clarifications and updates on the Company's financing in the short, medium and long term and the preservation of governance were satisfactory, so that: (i) any decision by the Annual General Meeting (AGM), scheduled for April 25, 2024, other than the Management proposal of March 7, 2024, to distribute, as extraordinary dividends, up to 50% of the remaining net income (after allocations to legal reserves and the payment of ordinary dividends), would not compromise the Company's financial sustainability; (ii) any distribution of the remaining 50% by the Company, as interim dividends, will be evaluated by the Board of Directors during the current fiscal year.

Finally, the Company clarifies that this statement does not constitute a change to the management proposal published on March 7, 2024, which remains valid and in force.
