Petrobras confirms the structure and timing mechanics of its sizable 3Q25 shareholder payout.

Petrobras restates a substantial shareholder remuneration of R$ 12.16 billion, or R$ 0.94320755 per share, tied to 3Q25, and clarifies that the Executive Board has defined how this amount will be distributed. This follows the Board of Directors’ earlier approval on November 6, 2025, so the main economic decision was already made previously.

The company explains that each installment will be adjusted by Brazil’s Selic rate from December 31, 2025 until the payment date, which can modestly increase the cash received in a higher-rate environment. It also highlights that portions characterized as interest on equity will be subject to income tax under current rules, affecting after-tax returns for some holders.

These distributions will be incorporated into the broader 2025 remuneration package to be presented at the 2026 Annual General Meeting. The announcement mainly provides operational clarity on payment form and indexation, rather than changing the underlying payout level or policy direction.
