Two Nominated to the Petrobras Board Were Considered Unfit for the Position in the State-Owned Company

The Petrobras board of directors did not approve the appointment of 2 of the 11 candidates for the state-owned company committee. These candidates are considered unfit to hold positions in companies that have had a direct relationship with Petrobras in the past three years. The assessment is conducted by the people committee and consists of members of the collegiate and independent experts. If elected, the two candidates will assume the position along with shareholders, which will be approved this Monday, the 12th, during the assembly.

In addition to rejecting the names of Márcio Andrade Weber and Pedro Rodriguez Galvão de Medeiros, the committee also presented a series of opinions on other candidates. The only individuals who can pass the evaluator list are the current chairman of the company’s board of directors Eduardo Bacellar Leal Ferreira, Cynthia Santana Silveira, Murilo Marroquim, and Leonardo Antonelli, who currently hold minority seats on the collegiate and may run for reelection.
