NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

PETROBRAS

(Expressed in millions of US Dollars, unless otherwise indicated)

1.Basis of preparation
1.1.Statement of compliance and authorization of unaudited consolidated interim financial statements

These unaudited consolidated interim financial statements of Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. ("Petrobras" or "Company") have been prepared and presented in accordance with IAS 34 - "Interim Financial Reporting" as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). They present the significant changes in the period, avoiding repetition of certain notes to the annual consolidated financial statements previously reported. Hence, they should be read together with the Company's audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, which include the full set of notes (2021 Financial Statements).

These unaudited consolidated interim financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Company's Board of Directors in a meeting held on July 28, 2022.

2.Summary of significant accounting policies

The accounting policies and methods of computation followed in these unaudited consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those followed in the preparation of the annual financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The IFRS standards that became effective on January 1, 2022 resulted in no material effects on these unaudited consolidated interim financial statements.

Regarding the Interest Rate Benchmark Reform (IBOR Reform), in order to prepare for the transition to alternative reference rates, the Company continues to monitor the pronouncements of regulatory authorities, aimed at adapting its financial instruments to the new benchmark. The Company has debts indexed to Libor (London Interbank Offered Rate), corresponding to 33.7% of total finance debt (see note 23.4).

3.Cash and cash equivalents and Marketable securities
3.1.Cash and cash equivalents

They include cash, available bank deposits and short-term financial investments with high liquidity, which meet the definition of cash and cash equivalents.

Short-term financial investments abroad comprise time deposits that mature in three months or less from the date of their acquisition, highly-liquid automatic investment accounts, interest checking accounts and other short-term fixed income instruments.

Profit Sharing (PLR)

At December 29, 2020, the 17 unions representing onshore employees of Petrobras had signed the agreement for the PLR for 2021 and 2022, before the deadline determined by the Collective Labor Agreement (ACT). Among the offshore employees, only one union had signed the agreement within the period defined by the ACT.

The current agreement for the PLR provides that only employees without managerial functions will be entitled to receive profit sharing with individual limits according to their remuneration. In order for the PLR to be paid for 2021 and 2022, the following requirements must be met: (i) dividend distribution to shareholders approved at the Annual General Shareholders Meeting, (ii) net income for the year, and iii) achievement of the weighted average percentage of at least 80% of a set of indicators.

The maximum amount of PLR to be distributed is limited to 5% of Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure defined as net income plus net finance income (expense), income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, results in equity-accounted investments, impairment, cumulative foreign exchange adjustments reclassified to the income statement, results from disposal and write-offs of assets, foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from provisions for legal proceedings denominated in foreign currencies and results from the compensation of investments in bid areas), to 6.25% of net income and to 25% of dividends distributed to shareholders, in each year, whichever is lower.

In the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, the main changes related to the PLR were:

· payment of US$ 129relating to the PLR provisioned in 2021;
· provision of US$ 65for the PLR related to 2022, accounted for within other income and expenses.
12.2.Termination benefits

Termination benefits are employee benefits provided in exchange for the termination of labor contract as a result of either: i) the Company's decision to terminate the labor contract before the employee's normal retirement date; or ii) an employee's decision to accept an offer of benefits in exchange for the termination of their employment.

The Company has voluntary severance programs (PDV), specific for employees of the corporate segment and of divestment assets, which provide for the same legal and indemnity advantages.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

PETROBRAS

(Expressed in millions of US Dollars, unless otherwise indicated)

· Tax matters comprising: i) withholding income tax (IRRF), Contribution of Intervention in the Economic Domain (CIDE), Social Integration Program (PIS) and Contribution to Social Security Financing (COFINS) on remittances for payments of vessel charters; (ii) income from foreign subsidiaries and associates located outside Brazil not included in the computation of taxable income (IRPJ and CSLL); (iii) requests to compensate federal taxes disallowed by the Brazilian Federal Tax Authority; (iv) collection and crediting of ICMS by several states; (v) collection of social security contributions over payments of bonuses; and (vi) collection of customs taxes and fines related to imports under the Repetro regime in the Frade consortium.
· Labor matters comprising mainly actions requiring a review of the methodology by which the minimum compensation based on an employee's position and work schedule (Remuneração Mínima por Nível e Regime - RMNR) is calculated;
· Civil matters comprising mainly: (i) administrative and legal proceedings challenging an ANP order requiring Petrobras to pay additional special participation fees and royalties (production taxes) with respect to several fields; (ii) regulation agencies fines; and (iii) lawsuits related to contracts.
· Environmental matters comprising indemnities for damages and fines related to the Company operation.

In the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, the increase in the balance of contingent liabilities is mainly due to: (i) US$ 2,224relating to the notice of infraction for the collection, by joint liability, of customs taxes and fines arising from imports under the Repetro regime, for use in the Frade consortium; (ii) US$ 534in lawsuits in administrative and judicial stages discussing the difference in special interest and royalties in different fields, including unitization; (iii) US$ 403 lawsuits requesting a review of the methodology by which the minimum compensation based on an employee's position and work schedule (Remuneração Mínima por Nível e Regime - RMNR) is calculated; (iv) US$ 261 referring to CIDE and PIS/COFINS on the chartering of platforms; and (v) US$ 205referring to lawsuits involving ICMS collection on imports in operations with liquified petroleum gas derived from natural gas. These effects were partially offset by: (i) US$ 1,206 transferred to remote loss relating to tax on services provided offshore; (ii) US$ 295 for the write-off due to the conclusion of an agreement and review of amounts in lawsuits in which the state monopoly of piped gas services was discussed; and (iii) US$ 201 for the review of values and write-off, due to favorable decisions, in proceedings related to tax deductions taken that were subsequently challenged.

13.4.Minimum Compensation Based on Employee's Position and Work Schedule (Remuneração Mínima por Nível e Regime - RMNR)

As of June 30, 2022, there are lawsuits related to the Minimum Compensation Based on Employee's Position and Work Schedule (RMNR), with the objective of reviewing its calculation criteria.

The RMNR consists of a minimum remuneration guaranteed to employees, based on salary level, work schedule and geographic location. This policy was created and implemented by Petrobras in 2007 through collective bargaining with union representatives, and was approved at employee meetings, and started being the subject of lawsuits three years after its implementation.

In 2018, the Brazilian Superior Labor Court (TST) ruled against the Company, which filed extraordinary appeals against its decision. Therefore, the Brazilian Supreme Federal Court (STF) suspended the effects of the decision issued by the TST and determined the national suspension of the ongoing proceedings related to the RMNR.

On July 29, 2021, a monocratic decision was published in which the STF's Judge-Rapporteur granted an extraordinary appeal filed, accepting the Company's thesis and recognizing the validity of the collective bargaining agreement freely signed between Petrobras and the unions, reversing the decision of the TST.

In February 2022, the judgment of the appeals filed by the plaintiff and several amicus curiae was started. The judgment is currently underway in the First Panel of the Supreme Federal Court, with 3 votes in favor of the Company, confirming that there is an understanding of recognizing the merit of the collective bargaining agreement signed between Petrobras and the unions. Considering that the last minister to vote requested additional time for analysis, the trial was suspended, and is pending the presentation of the vote by this last minister.

As of June 30, 2022, the balance of provisioned proceedings regarding RMNR amounts to US$ 150, while the contingent liabilities amount to US$ 6,686.

13.5.Class action and related proceedings

On May 26, 2021, the District Court of Rotterdam decided that the class action against Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. - Petrobras, Petrobras International Braspetro B.V. (PIB BV), Petrobras Global Finance B.V. (PGF), Petrobras Oil & Gas B.V. (PO&G) and some former Petrobras managers must proceed and that the arbitration clause of Petrobras' bylaws does not prevent the Company's shareholders from having access to the Dutch Judiciary and being represented by the Stichting Petrobras Compensation Foundation ("Foundation"). However, investors who have already started arbitration against Petrobras or who are parties to legal proceedings in which the applicability of the arbitration clause has been definitively recognized are excluded from the action. The class action is in the merit discussion stage.

In relation to the arbitration in Argentina, the Argentine Supreme Court has not yet judged the appeal filed by the Consumidores Financieros Asociación Civil para su Defensa ("Association"). This arbitration discusses Petrobras' liability for an alleged loss of market value of Petrobras' shares in Argentina, as a result of the Lava Jato Operation.

Regarding criminal proceeding in Argentina related to an alleged fraudulent offer of securities, aggravated by the fact that Petrobras allegedly declared false data in its financial statements prior to 2015, the Court of Appeals revoked on October 21, 2021, the lower court decision that had recognized Petrobras' immunity from jurisdiction and recommended that the lower court judge take steps to certify whether the Company could be considered criminally immune in Argentina for further reassessment of the issue. Petrobras appealed against this decision, but on April 30, 2022 the appeal was not admitted by the Court of Cassation. The Court of Appeals recognized that the Association could not act as a representative of financial consumers, due to the loss of its registration with the competent Argentine bodies, which was also appealed, still pending judgment. Petrobras presented other procedural defenses, still subject to appeals before the Argentine Court of Appeals. This criminal action is being processed before the Economic Criminal Court No. 2 of the City of Buenos Aires.

As for the other criminal action for alleged non-compliance with the obligation to publish "press release" in the Argentine market about the existence of a class action filed by Consumidores Financieros Asociación Civil para su Defensa before the Commercial Court, there are no developments during the six-month period ended June 30, 2022.

13.6.Arbitrations in Brazil

In the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, there were no events that changed the assessment and information on arbitrations in Brazil.

13.7.Legal proceedings - Compulsory Loan - Eletrobrás

In the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, there were no events that changed the assessment on this proceeding.

13.8.Lawsuits brought by natural gas distributors and others

In the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, the Company obtained a favorable decision from the Superior Court of Justice (Superior Tribunal de Justiça - STJ) suspending the interim decision in favor of CEGÁS, which granted the extension of its gas supply contract for 6 months. The injunction that had been obtained by SC GÁS and that had extended, until April 2022, the price of the gas supply contract that was terminated on December 31, 2021, was revoked in a lower court judgement handed down on June 29, 2022.
