BR acquires 70% of Targus shares

-

Rio de Janeiro, November 26th, 2020.

Petrobras Distribuidora SA (B3: BRDT3), in compliance with CVM Instruction No. 358, of January 3rd, 2002, as amended, it informs its shareholders and the general public that it has signed, in 11/25/2020, the Share Purchase and Sale Agreement of Targus Comercializadora de Energia Ltda and Targus Serviços de Energia Ltda ("Targus Energia") with the objective of operating in the electric energy commercialization segment throughout the Brazilian territory.

For the acquisition of interest in Targus Energia, BR will pay R$ 62.1 million between primary and secondary, over the next 4 (four) years. The transaction also provides for earn-out mechanisms and call and put options for the remaining 30%.

As a result of the acquisition, BR will operate in the purchase and sale of electricity to its customers, complementing its current product portfolio, as well as being able to capture new customers in the market, offering management services in the free market and distributed generation products.

The free market, where energy traders operate, currently represents just over 30% of the Brazilian energy consumption, with great growth potential for the coming years. The Company sees in this transaction the opportunity to offer electricity to its customer network, using its commercial capillarity and financial structure, combined with the expertise and execution capacity of Targus Energia's partners, who will remain in the operation.

Founded in 2017, Targus Energia has around 200 consumer units in its portfolio, having traded 3,900 gigawatt-hours (GWh) in 2019, with revenues close to R$ 900 million.

This decision is in line with our Portfolio Management initiative, capturing value and opening up new growth options, allowing BR to offer, within its competencies, the energy that a society demands, in the way it chooses.
