14.4 Class action and related proceedings

14.4.1 Class action in the Netherlands

On January 23, 2017, Stichting Petrobras Compensation
Foundation ("Foundation") filed a class action in the Netherlands, at the District Court of Rotterdam, 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. The Foundation alleges that it represents the interests of an unidentified
group of investors and asserts that, based on the facts revealed by the Lava-Jato Operation, the defendants acted illegally before the
investors. On May 26, 2021, the District Court of Rotterdam decided that the class action should proceed, and that the arbitration clause
of Petrobras' bylaws does not prevent the Company's shareholders from having access to the Dutch Judiciary and have their interests represented
by the “Foundation”. However, the interests of 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
scope of the action.

On July 26, 2023, the Court issued an intermediary
decision on the merits which provided the following understanding: (i) the requests made against PIB BV, PO&G and certain former members
of the Company’s management were rejected; (ii) the Court declared that Petrobras and the PGF acted illegally in relation to their
investors, although the Court expressed it does not consider itself sufficiently informed about relevant aspects of Brazilian, Argentine
and Luxembourger laws to definitively decide on the merits of the action; and
