 EIG Energy Fund XIV, L.P. and affiliates (“EIG”)
filed a lawsuit against Petrobras, before the District Court of Columbia, United States, to recover alleged losses related to its investment
in Sete Brasil Participações S.A. On August 8, 2022, the judge upheld EIG's claim as to Petrobras' responsibility for the
alleged losses (which was recorded in 2022 as provisions for legal proceedings) but denied the motion for summary judgment with respect
to damages, whereby the award of compensation will be subject to the proof of damages by EIG at a hearing and to the consideration of
the defenses by the Company. In the same decision, whose effects were recognized in the Company's financial statements in 2022, the judge
denied the request to dismiss the case based on Petrobras' immunity from jurisdiction, when an appeal was filed with the Federal Court
of Appeals for the District of Columbia, which was denied in June 2024. Petrobras then submitted a request to review the issue, which
was rejected on July 24, 2024. As a result, the process, which had been suspended by the lower court judge on October 26, 2022 due to
the filing of the appeal by Petrobras, resumed its course and the beginning of the trial hearing was scheduled for March 31, 2025.

On August 26, 2022, on another procedural front
initiated by the EIG, the District Court of Amsterdam granted a precautionary measure to block certain Petrobras assets in the Netherlands.
This granting was based on the decision of the District Court of Columbia, on August 8, 2022, and was intended to ensure the satisfaction
of EIG's claims contained in the aforementioned US lawsuit. For the purpose of this injunction, the District Court of Amsterdam limited
EIG's claims to a total of US$ 297.2 million, although the US Court ruled that any award of damages would depend on evidence of damages
by EIG at a trial hearing. There are some discussions about the scope of the assets blocked by EIG, but there is no related lawsuit pending
in the Netherlands. This precautionary block does not prevent Petrobras and its subsidiaries from complying with their obligations to
third parties.
