Petrobras on Petros Plan
—
Rio de Janeiro, November 30, 2022 - Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. –
Petrobras informs that it was disclosed by the Fundação Petrobras
de Seguridade Social (Petros) that its Deliberative Council
approved the Deficit Equalization Plan (PED) for the year 2021 of
the Renegotiated Petros Pension Plan (PPSP-R), because this plan
has exceeded the legal limit of tolerance to technical deficit.
The PED-2021 foresees the equating of the total value of the
deficit recorded in 2021, of R$ 7.7 billion, which will be updated
until December 2022. In September 2022, this value updated by the
actuarial target was R$ 8.4 billion.
According to Supplementary Laws 108/2001 and 109/2001, as well as
Resolution no. 30/2018 of the National Council for Suplementary
Pension (Conselho Nacional de Previdência Complementar - CNPC), the
deficit must be equated equally between the sponsors (Petrobras,
Vibra Energia, and Petros) and the PPSP-R participants and
pensioners. Therefore, Petrobras will be responsible for a total
amount of R$ 3.9 billion in September 2022.
The disbursement by the sponsors will be decreasing over the life
of the plan, and is estimated, for the first year, to be around R$
300 million for Petrobras.
The PPSP-R is a defined benefit plan and, according to Petros, this
deficit was directly impacted by the economic environment that
affected mainly the fixed income segment, especially because of the
marked-to-market public bonds, which suffered from the increase in
the interest rate curves.
The PED-2021 was considered on this date by Petrobras' Board of
Directors and will be forwarded to the Secretariat for Coordination
and Governance of State-Owned Companies (SEST). If there is a
favorable opinion from this body, the equalization plan will be
implemented by Petros with the start of charging extraordinary
contributions in April 2023, in addition to the normal and
extraordinary contributions already in effect.
The actuarial position of the PPSP-R plan was reflected in note
17.3 - Post-employment benefits in the financial statements of
12.31.2021 and, additionally, the effects of the implementation of
new extraordinary contributions by the PED-2021 will be considered
in the actuarial revaluation of 2022.
