(Petrobras, 26.Mar.2020) — Petrobras informs that its Board of Directors, in a meeting held yesterday, approved the change in the date of payment of the remaining remuneration to the shareholders in the form of dividends for the year 2019, which was subject to the resolution of the Annual General Meeting, from 05/20/2020 to 12/15/2020.
The Board of Directors also approved the change of the date of the Annual General Meeting from 04/22/2020 to 04/27/2020.

Shareholders will be entitled to this dividend as follows:
1. The record date for owners of Petrobras shares traded on the B3 will be the day of the Annual General Meeting, that is, 04/27/2020, and for holders of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) traded on the New York Stock Exchange – NYSE will be 04/29/2020.
2. Petrobras shares will be traded ex-dividends on B3 and NYSE as of 04/28/2020. All values will be updated by the Selic rate variation from 12/31/2019 until the payment date.
