Clarification about news: Princing Policy
Rio de Janeiro, December 4th, 2013 – Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. – Petrobras, in compliance with the request made by the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM) to clarify the parameters of the pricing policy disclosed on November 29th 2013 in comparison to those announced on October 30th, informs:
The pricing methodology for diesel and gasoline applied as of November 29th, 2013 contains parameters based on variables, such as oil products price in international markets, foreign exchange rate and weighing associated with the origin of the product sold, whether it is refined in Brazil or imported.
The price readjustments will not be automatic, as a direct consequence of the pricing formula. The methodology establishes readjustment ranges and determines that the Executive Board has discretional power in light of the dynamics of the domestic and international markets.
Regarding speculations about the exit of President Maria das Graças Silva Foster, Petrobras refutes any affirmation of this kind.
