Petrobras, Continuing the Announcement of 10/31/2018, Informs That It Has Completed Today the Sale to Petrovida Holding B.V. (Petrovida) of the 50% Equity Stake Held by Petrobras International Braspetro BV (PIBBV) in Petrobras Oil & Gas B.V. (PO&GBV).

The transaction involved a total value of US$ 1.530 billion, which was adjusted to US$ 1.454 billion, reflecting interest on the purchase price and the deduction of the portion due to Petrobras from the payment of fees for the transaction’s approval by the Nigerian Government. Of the total US$ 1.454 billion, Petrobras received US$ 1.030 billion in the form of dividends paid by PO&GBV since the transaction’s base date (01/01/2018) and is receiving US$ 276 million today, with US$ 123 million remaining to be received, subject to adjustment, as soon as the redetermination process of the Abgami field is implemented; and US$ 25 million by 06/30/2020.

The distribution of dividends by PO&GBV is in line with the strategy of advancing the monetization of the asset and was made possible due to operational generation and the increase of PO&GBV’s gross debt, which rose from US$ 800 million on 12/31/2017 to US$ 1.825 billion on 12/31/2019.
With the closing of this transaction, Petrobras completely concludes its operational activities in Africa.

The operation is aligned with the portfolio optimization and improved capital allocation of the company, aiming to generate value for its shareholders.
