Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Petrobras (PBR) filed a Form 6-K detailing plans to invest approximately R$33 billion (US$6.2 billion) in refining, petrochemical and decarbonisation projects in the state of Rio de Janeiro during the 2025-2029 business plan period.

The core initiative is the integration of the Boaventura Energy Complex with the REDUC refinery, budgeted at R$26 billion. Once completed, the complex is expected to boost S-10 diesel output by 76 kbpd (56 kbpd via quality improvement, 20 kbpd via new capacity), raise jet-fuel capacity by 20 kbpd and add 12 kbpd of Group II lubricants.

Boaventura will house a dedicated bio-jet/HVO unit (19 kbpd) and two gas-fired power plants that will compete in Brazil’s capacity-reserve auctions, leveraging existing natural-gas infrastructure. At REDUC, Petrobras has trialed co-processing to produce SAF with 1.2% renewable content and targets commercial output of up to 10 kbpd in the coming months. The refinery already markets Diesel R5 (5% bio-content) and will test Diesel R7 (7%).

Additional spend includes R$860 million for a new high-efficiency thermal power plant at REDUC and up to R$2.4 billion for major maintenance shutdowns between 2025-2029, with key outages in 2026. A lubricant re-refining project (6.3 kbpd) is under evaluation, supporting a circular-economy approach.

In petrochemicals, Petrobras is studying acetic-acid and mono-ethylene-glycol production—products currently imported by Brazil—while affiliate Braskem considers a R$4 billion expansion that would add 230 kt/yr of polyethylene capacity, contingent on internal approvals.

The programme aims to modernise downstream operations, improve fuel quality, expand low-carbon offerings and reduce reliance on imports, but entails significant capital outlays and execution risk.

Positive

• R$33 billion investment earmarked, indicating strong commitment to downstream expansion and modernization.
• Projected +76 kbpd S-10 diesel and +20 kbpd jet fuel increase, likely boosting margins and reducing imports.
• Introduction of 19 kbpd renewable HVO/SAF capacity and advancement of Diesel R7 support ESG positioning.
• Braskem’s planned R$4 billion polyethylene expansion could capture gas synergies and grow petrochemical earnings.

Negative

• Large CAPEX outlay heightens execution and cost-overrun risk, potentially straining free cash flow.
• Scheduled major shutdowns in 2026 could temporarily cut refinery throughput and earnings.
• Several projects remain subject to regulatory and internal approvals, adding uncertainty to timelines.
• Renewable fuels still represent a small share of total output, limiting near-term decarbonisation impact.

Insights

Refining & Downstream Analyst

TL;DR: Petrobras commits R$33 bn to expand and decarbonise Rio refineries, materially lifting clean-fuel capacity but increasing capex burden.

The Boaventura/REDUC integration meaningfully scales Petrobras’ high-value diesel and jet output, supporting margin capture once the clean-fuel specs tighten in Brazil and Latin America. Added 76 kbpd of S-10 diesel alone equates to roughly 7% of the company’s current domestic diesel sales, reducing imports and improving utilisation. Bio-jet and Group II lubes diversify revenue and position Petrobras for higher-margin, low-carbon products. CAPEX is already embedded in the 2025-2029 plan, but R$26 bn on a single hub heightens execution and cost-overrun risk, especially during concurrent maintenance shutdowns. Near-term cash flows could be pressured by the R$2.4 bn of turnarounds scheduled, particularly the 2026 coker/hydrotreater outage that may temporarily reduce diesel supply.

ESG & Energy-Transition Specialist

TL;DR: Project advances Petrobras’ decarbonisation—biofuels, re-refining, efficiency—but renewable share remains modest.

Dedicated HVO/SAF capacity (19 kbpd) plus co-processing at REDUC accelerate Petrobras’ shift toward sustainable fuels, aligning with global aviation mandates and Brazil’s RenovaBio framework. Circular-economy initiatives—used-oil re-refining and Diesel R7—signal incremental yet tangible ESG progress. However, renewable volumes represent a small fraction of the 2 mm bpd refining system, limiting immediate carbon-intensity reduction. Success depends on timely ANP approvals and competitive results in power-capacity auctions. Overall impact is positive, demonstrating strategy execution without materially altering risk profile.

(Bloomberg Symbol: “META”) The Class A common stock of Alphabet Inc. (Bloomberg Symbol: “GOOGL”) The common stock of NVIDIA Corporation (Bloomberg Symbol "NVDA") TERMS Contingent Interest Rate: 5.175% per quarter (approximately 20.70% per annum), if payable. Call Level: With respect to each Reference Asset, 100% of its Initial Level Trigger Level: With respect to each Reference Asset, 70% of its Initial Level Coupon Barrier Level: With respect to each Reference Asset, 70% of its Initial Level CUSIP 06369N3W9 Please see the following page for additional information about the terms included on this cover page, and how your investment ma y be impacted. Any capitalized term not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the preliminary pricing supplement to which the term sheet relates (se e h yperlink below). 1 SEC File No. 333 - 285508 | July 03, 2025 TERMS CONTINUED Contingent Coupons: If the closing level of each Reference Asset on an Observation Date is greater than or equal to its Coupon Barrier Level, on the corresponding Contingent Coupon Payment Date you will receive ( i ) a Contingent Coupon (calculated at the Contingent Interest Rate) in respect of that Observation Date and (ii) any previously unpaid Contingent Coupons in respect of any prior Observation Dates pursuant to the Memory Coupon Feature. Please see page 2 hereof for the Contingent Coupon Payment Dates and Observation Dates. Memory Coupon Feature: If a Contingent Coupon is not paid on a Coupon Payment Date (other than the Maturity Date) because the closing level of a Reference Asset is less than its Coupon Barrier Level on the related Observation Date, such Contingent Coupon will be paid on a later Contingent Coupon Payment Date if the closing level of each Reference Asset is greater than or equal to its Coupon Barrier Level on the relevant Observation Date. Automatic Redemption: Beginning on October 14, 2025, if, on any Observation Date, the closing level of each Reference Asset is greater than or equal to its Call Level, the notes will be automatically redeemed. No further amounts will be owed to you under the Notes. Call Settlement Date: If the notes are automatically redeemed, the Contingent Coupon Payment Date immediately following the relevant Observation Date. Trigger Event: A Trigger Event will be deemed to occur if the Final Level of any Reference Asset is less than its Trigger Level on the Valuation Date. Payment Upon Automatic Redemption : If the notes are automatically redeemed, then, on the Call Settlement Date, for each $5,000 principal amount, investors will receive $5,000 plus any Contingent Coupon otherwise due. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE The objective of the notes is to provide clients the potential to earn periodic income, subject to an automatic redemption, while offering limited downside protection against a slight to moderate decline in the Reference Assets over the term of the notes. As such, the notes may be suitable for investors with a moderately bullish view of the Reference Assets over the term of the notes. The performance of the notes may not be consistent with the investment objective. This term sheet, which gives a brief summary of the terms of the notes, relates to, and should be read in conjunction with, t he pricing supplement dated July 03, 2025, the Product Supplement dated March 25, 2025, the Prospectus Supplement dated March 25, 2025, and to the Prospectus dated March 25, 2025. CITIGROUP GLOBAL MARKETS INC.

2 Observation Dates : Three trading days prior to each scheduled Contingent Coupon Payment Date. Contingent Coupon Payment Dates Interest, if payable, will be paid on the 17th day of each October, January, April, and July (or, if such day is not a business day, the next following business day), beginning on October 17, 2025 and ending on the Maturity Date, subject to the automatic redemption feature. Payment at Maturity (if held to the Maturity Date): If the notes are not automatically redeemed, the payment at maturity for the notes is based on the performance of the Reference Assets. You will receive $5,000 for each $5,000 in principal amount of the note, unless a Trigger Event has occurred. If a Trigger Event has occurred, you will receive at maturity, for each $5,000 in principal amount of your notes, a number of shares equal to the Physical Delivery Amount (or, at our election the Cash Delivery Amount). Fractional shares will be paid in cash. The Physical Delivery Amount will be less than the principal amount of your notes, and may be zero. You will also receive any Contingent Coupons (including any Contingent Coupons due pursuant to the Memory Coupon Feature) otherwise due. Least Performing Reference Asset: The Reference Asset that has the lowest Percentage Change. Percentage Change: The Percentage Change of each Reference Asset, expressed as a percentage, is calculated using the following formula: (Final Level – Initial Level) / Initial Level Initial Level: With respect to each Reference Asset, the closing level of such Reference Asset on the Pricing Date. Final Level: With respect to each Reference Asset, the closing level of such Reference Asset on the Valuation Date. Physical Delivery Amount: The number of shares of the Least Performing Reference Asset equal to $5,000 divided by the Initial Level. Any fractional shares will be paid in cash. Cash Delivery Amount: The amount in cash equal to the product of (1) the Physical Delivery Amount and (2) the Final Level of the Least Performing Reference Asset. Principal at Risk: Investors in these notes could lose all or a substantial portion of their investment at maturity if there has been a decline in the market value of any Reference Asset and the Final Level of any Reference Asset is less than its Trigger Level. We urge you to carefully review the documents described in “Additional Information” below, including the risk factors set forth and incorporated by reference therein, prior to making an investment decision. Secondary Market: The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. Although not obligated to do so, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“Citigroup”) or one of our or their affiliates, plans to maintain a secondary market in the notes after the Settlement Date. Proceeds from a sale of notes prior to maturity may be less than the principal amount initially invested.

3 Selected Risk Considerations: The risks summarized below are some of the most important factors to be considered prior to any purchase of the notes. Investors are urged to read all the risk factors related to the notes in the pricing supplement and the product supplement to which this term sheet relates. • You could lose up to the entire principal amount of your notes, and your potential return on the notes is limited to any Contingent Coupon payments, if any. If the notes are not automatically redeemed and if a Trigger Event has occurred with respect to any Reference Asset, and if the Final Level of any Reference Asset is less than its Initial Level, you will lose 1% of the principal amount for each 1% that the Final Level of the Least Performing Reference Asset is less than its Initial Level. • You may not receive any Contingent Coupons with respect to your notes. • Your notes are subject to automatic early redemption. If the notes are so redeemed, you will not receive any additional Contingent Coupons, and you may not be able to invest the proceeds in a security with a similar return. • Your return on the notes is limited to the Contingent Coupons, if any, regardless of any increase in the level of any Reference Asset. • Whether you receive any Contingent Coupons and your payment at maturity may be determined solely by reference to the Least Performing Reference Asset, even if any other Reference Assets perform better. • The payments on the notes will be determined by reference to each Reference Asset individually, not to a basket, and the payments on the notes will be based on the performance of the least performing Reference Asset. • Any decline in the closing level of the Least Performing Reference Asset from the Valuation Date to the Maturity Date will reduce the value of the Physical Delivery Amount. • A higher Contingent Interest Rate or lower Trigger Levels or Coupon Barrier Levels may reflect greater expected volatility of the Reference Assets, and greater expected volatility generally indicates an increased risk of loss at maturity. • Your return on the notes may be lower than the return on a conventional debt security of comparable maturity. • The notes are unsecured debt obligations of the Issuer and your investment is subject to the credit risk of the Issuer. • Our , Citigroup’s or one or more of our or their affiliates’ activities may conflict with your interests and may also adversely affect the value of the notes. • Our initial estimated value of the notes will be lower than the price to public, does not represent any future value of the notes, and may also differ from the estimated value of any other party. • The terms of the notes are not determined by reference to the credit spreads for our conventional fixed - rate debt. • The inclusion of the hedging profits, if any, in the initial price to public of the notes, as well as our hedging costs, is likely to adversely affect the price at which you can sell your notes. • Owning the notes is not the same as owning shares of the Reference Assets or a security directly linked to the Reference Assets. • You will not have any shareholder rights and will have no right to receive any securities represented by the Reference Assets at maturity. • Your notes are subject to single equity risk. • You must rely on your own evaluation of the merits of an investment linked to the Reference Assets. • The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. We, Citigroup or one or more of our or their affiliates may offer to purchase the notes in the secondary market, but none of us, Citigroup or any of our or their affiliates is required to do so. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the notes easily. • We, Citigroup, or any of our or their affiliates have carried out or may carry out hedging and trading activities related to the notes that could adversely affect the payment on the notes.

4 Hypothetical Calculations for the Payment at Maturity: Examples of the Hypothetical Payment at Maturity for a $5,000 Investment in the notes The following table illustrates the hypothetical payments on a note at maturity, assuming that the notes are not automaticall y redeemed. The hypothetical payments are based on a $5,000 investment in the note, a hypothetical Initial Level of $100.00, a hypothetical Trigger Level of $70.00 for each Reference Asset (70.00% of the hypothetical Initial Level), a hypothetical Ca ll Level of $100.00 (100.00% of the hypothetical Initial Level), a range of hypothetical Final Levels and the effect on the payment at maturity. The hypothetical examples shown below are intended to help you understand the terms of the notes. If the notes are not automatically redeemed, the actual amount of cash or shares that you will receive at maturity will depend upon the Final Level of the Least Performing Reference Asset. If the notes are automatically redeemed prior to maturity, the hypothetical examples below will not be relevant, and you will receive on the applicable Call Settlement Date, for each $5,000 principal amount, the principal amount plus any Contingent Coupons otherwise due. These examples do not give effect to any U.S. federal tax payments or brokerage commissions that you may be required to pay in connection with your purchase of the notes. * Represents the cash value of the Physical Delivery Amount on the Valuation Date. We may elect to deliver either the Physical Delivery Amount or the Cash Delivery Amount. If we elect to deliver the Physical Delivery Amount, the actual value received and your total return on the notes on the Maturity Date will depend on the value of the Reference Asset on the Maturity Date.
