(Petrobras, 16.Dec.2021) — Petrobras’ Board of Directors approved the model for the sale of up to 100% of the preferred shares it holds in Braskem S.A. to be conducted through secondary public offering(s) of shares (follow-on), together with Novonor S.A. – In Judicial Recovery and NSP Investimentos S.A. – In Judicial Recovery (both referred to as Novonor), called the Offer.

Petrobras also informs that signed a Term Sheet with Novonor that, in addition to formalizing their commitment to making the Offer, establishes guidelines with the objective of migrating Braskem to the Novo Mercado, the highest level of corporate governance of B3 S.A. – Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão.

As a first step in this direction, Petrobras and Novonor, in addition to the request already submitted by Novonor, will request that Braskem conduct the studies and analyses required for migration, which should include certain actions, including the necessary governance adaptations and the respective corporate approvals. With the migration there will be the negotiation and signing of a new Shareholders’ Agreement.

Through the Term Sheet, Petrobras and Novonor manifest their interest in selling their respective remaining stakes (common shares) in Braskem after the migration to the Novo Mercado.

Also as part of the commitments assumed in the Term Sheet, Petrobras and Novonor also signed an amendment to Braskem’s current Shareholders’ Agreement, providing for a future change in the discipline of Braskem’s preemptive rights in new businesses in the petrochemical sector.

All the acts necessary to make this Offering, including with regard to the structure(s) necessary to materialize it, will be subject to the approval of Petrobras’ internal bodies, notably with regard to the price and effective percentage of the shares to be offered, as well as the analysis and approval of the respective regulatory bodies, under the terms of the applicable legislation. This communication does not constitute the effective migration of Braskem to the Novo Mercado and should not be considered as an announcement of a securities offering for sale in Brazil or in any other market abroad, which will depend on favorable market conditions.
