The agreement involves the recovery of credits by Breitener Tambaqui and Breitener Jaraqui, against Amazonas Energia S/A, in the amount of approximately R$ 436 million, updated up to January 18, 2021, related to 7 lawsuits, which will be suspended until the full settlement of the negotiated credits.

The signing of the agreement will generate a positive effect on the consolidated result of Petrobras in the 2nd quarter of 2021 of R$ 328 million, net of tax effects.
