the following explanatory information:
Downstream is a limited liability company with fully subscribed and paid-up capital in the amount of R$ 6,319,501,326.85
(six billion, three hundred and nineteen million, five hundred and one thousand, three hundred and twenty-six reais and eighty-five centavos), whose representative quotas are wholly owned by Petrobras.
The incorporation of Downstream by Petrobras is part of reorganization and optimization scenario of Company’s shareholding portfolio, seeking to rationalize costs through the
consolidation of corporate activities.

relevant synergies in the conduct of matters of Company’s interest.
Considering that the company holds 100% (one hundred percent) of the quotas representing
Downstream’s capital stock, the proposed Incorporation will not imply any change in PETROBRAS’ capital stock, insofar as PETROBRAS’ financial statements already consolidate DOWNSTREAM accounting records.
Therefore, the incorporation aims to transfer the total assets, rights and obligations of Downstream to Company and is part of a corporate reorganization process designed to
simplify the corporate structure, reduce costs and achieve more efficient assets management.
Accordingly, the Board of Directors hereby submits to the
Extraordinary General Meeting for appraisal and decision, relying on the favorable opinion of the Fiscal Council, the proposal for
the incorporation of Downstream by Petrobras, pursuant to the Protocol and Justification entered between the Company and Downstream, the
respective Valuation Report and other provisions included as item I of the Agenda as disclosed in the Call Notice.

net worth, for the purposes of corresponding accounting entries in PETROBRAS, was made at book value by expert company UHY MOREIRA - AUDITORES, referred to in section 2.1, on such base date set up in section 2.2 of this Protocol and Justification,

1.5. Justification of Operation. The boards of the Companies involved in the Operation have

increased operating costs, while losing relevant synergies in the conduct of matters of interest;
1.5.1. The Incorporation aims to transfer the total assets,
rights and obligations of DOWNSTREAM to PETROBRAS and is part of a corporate reorganization process designed to simplify the corporate structure, rationalize PETROBRAS activities, reduce costs and achieve more efficient management of the assets
involved.
1.5.2. Considering that PETROBRAS holds 100% (one hundred percent) of the shares representing DOWNSTREAM’s capital stock, the
proposed Incorporation will not imply any change in PETROBRAS’ capital stock, insofar as PETROBRAS’ financial statements consolidate DOWNSTREAM accounting records.
1.6. DOWNSTREAM assets, rights and obligations making up DOWNSTREAM’s net worth to be transferred to PETROBRAS are detailed in the valuation report, at book value.
CLAUSE TWO - VALUATION OF DOWNSTREAM NET WORTH AND VALUATION BASE DATE

appointment of such expert company UHY MOREIRA - AUDITORES to carry out of preparing the accounting valuation report on the Incorporated company’s shareholders’ equity to be transferred to PETROBRAS (“Accounting Valuation
Report”), shall be ratified by DOWNSTREAM Partners Meeting and by PETROBRAS Extraordinary General Meeting, pursuant to article
227 of Law 6,404/76.
2.2. UHY MOREIRA - AUDITORES is a company specializing in accounting valuations and has, at the request of the management of the PARTIES, (i) valuated
DOWNSTREAM’s net worth at book value, based on the elements provided by the DOWNSTREAM Balance Sheet ascertained on 8/31/2017, (“Incorporation Base Date”), thereby calculating the value of the shareholders’ equity to be
transferred to PETROBRAS, and (ii) prepared the Accounting Valuation Report, attached hereto as Exhibit I, and such values shall be submitted to previous analysis and approval of PETROBRAS shareholders, under the terms of the law.
2.3. The preparation of financial statements audited by a CVM accredited independent auditor, pursuant to article 6 of CVM Instruction 565, of June 15,

CLAUSE THREE – SHAREHOLDERS ‘EQUITY GLOBAL AMOUNT TO BE INCORPORATED
3.1. According to the valuation performed as embodied in the Accounting Valuation Report, the book value of DOWNSTREAM’s shareholders’ equity to be transferred to

CLAUSE FIVE – EXTINCTION OF DOWNSTREAM QUOTAS
5.1. For the purposes of the Incorporation
proposed in this Protocol and Justification, no PETROBRAS shares shall be assigned to DOWNSTREAM quotaholders, since PETROBRAS holds the totality of the quotas issued by the Incorporated.

The summary Balance Sheet as of August 31, 2017 and
the summary of the main accounting practices adopted by the Company are described in Exhibits I and II to this report.
4. Scope of Work and Responsibility of the
Independent Auditor
Our responsibility is to express a condusion on the book value of Downstream’s owners’ equity as of August 31, 2017, based on the
work carried out in accordance with Technical Notice 2014/CTA20 (R1), approved by the Federal Accounting Council and published in the Federal Official Gazette on April 15, 2014, which provides for guidance to independent auditors on the technical
and professional standards to be observed by the independent auditor, appointed as an expert or specialized company, to issue a valuation report of net assets at book value or adjusted accounting net assets at market prices. Accordingly, we audited
said balance sheet in accordance with Brazilian and international auditing standards, which require compliance with ethical requirements by the auditor and that the audit is planned and performed in order to obtain reasonable assurance that the
accounting owners’ equity calculated to prepare our valuation report is free of material misstatement.
An audit involves the performance of procedures selected to obtain evidence regarding the amounts recorded. The procedures selected
depend on the auditor’s discretion, including the assessment of risks of material misstatement of the owners’ equity, whether due to fraud or error. In this risk assessment, the auditor considers the internai Controls relevant to preparing
the balance sheet of Downstream to plan the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of these internai Controls of Downstream. An audit also indudes evaluating
the adequacy of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the management. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to substantiate our condusion.
Our valuation was prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principies, and in accordance with the criteria established in Brazilian Corporate Law, Law 6404/76, as
amended by Law 11638/07.

ANNEX VI
Form 20-A, according CVM Instruction
nº 481/09
INFORMATION RELATED TO THE INCORPORATION OF
DOWNSTREAM PARTICIPAÇÕES LTDA.
as INCORPORATED, by
PETRÓLEO BRASILEIRO S.A. – PETROBRAS
as INCORPORATOR
(According to Exhibit 20-A of CVM Instruction 481, of December 17, 2009)
Rio
de Janeiro, October 03rd , 2017
1. Protocol and justification of the operation, pursuant to articles 224 and 225 of Law 6404, dated December 15, 1976 (“Brazilian
Corporation Law”).
Protocol and Justification of Incorporation of DOWNSTREAM PARTICIPAÇÕES LTDA. (“INCORPORATED”) by PETRÓLEO
BRASILEIRO S.A. – PETROBRAS (“INCORPORATOR”), hereinafter collectively referred to as “PARTIES”, or any of them, individually, as “PARTY”, is set out in Exhibit I - Protocol and Justification of the Merger.
2. Other agreements, contracts and pre-contracts to regulate the exercise of voting rights or the transfer of shares issued by companies subsisting or resulting
from the transaction, filed at the company’s headquarters or of which the company’s controlling shareholder is a party.
There are no agreements,
contracts or pre-contracts to regulate the exercise of voting rights or the transfer of shares issued by the INCORPORATOR, filed at its headquarters or of which its controlling shareholder is a party.
3. Description of operation, including: (a) Terms and conditions
The incorporation of
DOWNSTREAM PARTICIPAÇÕES LTDA by PETRÓLEO BRASILEIRO S.A. – PETROBRAS (“Incorporation”) aims to rationalize costs through the consolidation of its activities, keeping in mind that the maintenance of several
administrative structures leads to an increase in its operating costs, while at the same time implying the loss of relevant synergies in the address of the subjects of interest.
The Incorporation will bring advantages to both PARTIES and their shareholders, providing greater administrative effectiveness, reducing
operating costs and more efficiently managing the assets involved.
The appraisal of the equity of the INCORPORATED, for the purposes of the respective accounting
entries in the INCORPORATOR, was carried out at book value, based on the elements included in the Balance Sheet, by the specialized company UHY MOREIRA - AUDITORES (“Appraiser”), on 08/31/2017 (“Base Date”), as determined in the
Valuation Report included in Exhibit II - Valuation Report.
Pursuant to the Valuation Report prepared by the Appraiser, the book value of the INCORPORATED’s
equity on the Base Date corresponds to six billion, three hundred and forty-one million, five hundred and twelve thousand, four hundred and seventy-six reais and ninety-one cents (BRL 6,341,512,476.91).
Considering the INCORPORATOR holds 100% (one hundred percent) of the shares representing the capital stock of the INCORPORATED, the Incorporation will not imply any change to the
capital of the INCORPORATOR, insofar as its financial statements already consolidate the accounting records of the INCORPORATED.
The replacement of the
INCORPORATOR’s investments in the INCORPORATED by the assets and liabilities contained in the INCORPORATED’s Balance Sheet shall not imply a change in the equity and capital of the INCORPORATOR, nor the issuance of new shares or any
modification to the voting rights, dividends or any other political or patrimonial rights conferred to the present shareholders of the INCORPORATOR.
The balances
of the INCORPORATED’s creditor and debtor accounts will be transferred to the INCORPORATOR’s accounting records, making the necessary adjustments.
The assets, rights and obligations of the INCORPORATED, which make up the shareholders’ equity to be transferred to the
INCORPORATOR, are those detailed in the Valuation Report, at book value.
The approval of the Incorporation will entail the extinction of the INCORPORATED, for all
legal purposes, so the INCORPORATOR will succeed the INCORPORATED universally in all its rights and obligations, pursuant to Article 227 of Law 6.404/76.
(b)
Obligations to indemnify: (i) the managers of any of the companies involved; and (ii) if the transaction does not materialize
There are no obligations to indemnify
as a result of the Incorporation.
(c) Comparative table of the rights, advantages and restrictions of the quotas and shares of the companies involved or resulting,
before and after the operation
There will be no changes in the rights, advantages and restrictions of the
INCORPORATOR’s shares as a result of the Incorporation.
(d) Possible need for approval by
debenture holders or other creditors
There is no need to approve the Incorporation by creditors of the PARTIES.
(e) Active and passive elements that will form each part of the equity, in the event of a spin-off
Not applicable.
(f) Intention of companies resulting from obtaining registration of an issuer
of securities
Not applicable.
4. Plans for carrying out social business, especially regarding specific corporate events that are intended to be promoted.
There are no specific corporate events to be promoted after the Incorporation.
5. Analysis of
the following aspects of the operation:
(a) Description of key expected benefits, including: (i) synergies, (ii) tax benefits, and (iii) strategic advantages.
The Incorporation will bring considerable administrative, economic and financial benefits to the PARTIES and their shareholders, insofar as:
(i) the operational integration of the PARTIES will allow a better use of existing synergies, rationalization of costs, through the consolidation of its activities, and is
therefore, beneficial to the social interests of the PARTIES;
(ii) the gathering of the business resources and assets of the PARTIES will allow better management
of operations, assets and cash flows, resulting in the optimization of the use of operational and financial resources and, consequently, in obtaining greater benefits for the social activities carried out by the PARTIES, which would not be possible
if another type of corporate operation were adopted; and
(iii) it will result in the rationalization and simplification of the corporate structure, and,
consequently, in the consolidation and reduction of operating expenses.
(b) Costs
The PARTIES estimate that the total
costs and expenses for the realization and execution of the Incorporation, including the costs for conducting and publishing the corporate acts, and the expenses with the fees of appraisers and other contracted professionals, shall not exceed the
amount of BRL 794,000, 00 (seven hundred and ninety-four thousand reais).
(c) Risk Factors
The risk factors are detailed in item 11 a.
(d) In the case of a related-party transaction,
possible alternatives that could have been used to achieve the same objectives, indicating the reasons why these alternatives were disregarded
There are no
possible alternatives since the purpose of the PARTIES is to simplify the corporate structure of the PETROBRAS System and to extinguish the INCORPORATED, which could only be obtained through the incorporation of companies.
(e) Replacement ratio
The Incorporation will be carried out without a replacement ratio of the
quotas issued by the INCORPORATED, considering that: (i) the INCORPORATOR owns all the shares representing the capital stock of the INCORPORATED, and there are no non-controlling shareholders that should migrate to the INCORPORATOR; (ii) all the
shares issued by the INCORPORATED and owned by the INCORPORATOR will be extinguished at the time of the Incorporation; (iii) the Incorporation will not result in an increase in the capital stock of the INCORPORATOR; and (iv) the Incorporation will
not imply issuance of new shares by the INCORPORATOR.
(f) In operations involving controlling companies, controlled companies or companies under common control: (i) stock exchange ratio
calculated in accordance with article 264 of Law 6.404, of 1976; (ii) a detailed description of the process of trading the replacement ratio and other terms and conditions of the operation; (iii) if the transaction was preceded, in the last 12
(twelve) months, by a control acquisition: a comparative analysis of the replacement ratio and the price paid on the acquisition of control, and reasons which justify any valuation differences in the different operations; and (iv) justification of
why the substitution relationship is commutative, with a description of the procedures and criteria adopted to guarantee the interchangeability of the operation or if the substitution ratio is not interchangeable, payment detail or equivalent
measures adopted to ensure adequate compensation.
The Incorporation will be carried out without any substitution ratio of the shares issued by the INCORPORATED,
since the entire capital stock of the INCORPORATED is held by the INCORPORATOR.
6. Copy of minutes of all meetings of the board of directors, Board of Auditors and
special committees in which the operation was discussed, including any dissenting votes
The minutes from the meetings of the Board of Directors, the Fiscal Council
and the Financial Committee, in which the Incorporation was discussed, can be found in Exhibit III - Meeting Minutes.
7. Copy of studies, presentations, reports,
opinions or Valuation Reports from the companies involved in the operation made available to the controlling shareholder at any stage of the transaction
The
Valuation Report prepared by UHY MOREIRA - AUDITORES is available in
Exhibit II - Valuation Report.
7.1. Identification of possible conflicts of interest between financial institutions, companies and professionals who have prepared the
documents mentioned in item 7, and the companies involved in the operation
The Appraiser stated in the Valuation Report that: (i) there is no actual or potential
conflict of interest with the Companies, or, moreover, with respect to the Incorporation; and (ii) the Companies, their partners or managers have not directed, limited, impeded or practiced any acts or omissions that have or may have compromised the
access, use or knowledge of information, assets, documents or work methodologies relevant to the quality of its conclusions. (iii) by the appraisal service, the net fixed remuneration, in national currency, in the amount of BRL 24,000.00
(twenty-four thousand reais) and (iv) noted that in the Independent Auditor’s Report on the Financial Statements issued on 3/17/2017 by Price Waterhouse Coopers - Independent Auditors (PWC), no explanatory note was included in the intention of
the partial spin-off of the net assets of Petrobras Distribuidora SA and also the incorporation of Downstream’s net assets into Petróleo Brasileiro SA - Petrobras;
(b) Regarding observation 7.1 (iv), we clarify that, on 12/31/2016, the partial spin-off of Petróleo Distribuidora S/A with version of the spun-off portion of Downstream
Participações Ltda. had not been identified by the managers of the companies involved, nor by the joint parent company of those companies, Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. – PETROBRAS The aforementioned transaction was only resolved by
the partners of Downstream Participations in Downstream Partners Meeting held on 08/31/2017.
8. Statutory draft or statutory changes of the companies resulting
from the operation
As the Incorporation will be carried out without cancellation or issuance of new quotas by the INCORPORATOR, without alteration of its capital,
there will be no change in the INCORPORATOR’s Articles of Incorporation.
9. Financial statements used for the transaction, pursuant to the specific rule
The financial statements of the INCORPORATED and the INCORPORATOR for the period ended 08/31/2017 are available in Exhibit IV - Financial Statements.
10. Pro forma financial statements prepared for the transaction, pursuant to the specific rule
It is not necessary to prepare the pro forma financial statements required under Article 7 of CVM Instruction 565 of June 15, 2015, since the effects of the
Incorporation follow the provisions of Article 10, caput, of said Instruction.
11. Document containing information on directly involved companies other than
publicly-held companies (in this case, the INCORPORATED), including:
(a) Risk factors, in terms of items 4.1 and 4.2 of the reference form
Default risk of Debt Acknowledgement Agreements (CCDs) signed with companies of the Eletrobrás System.
The INCORPORATED holds approximately BRL 6.3 billion in credits arising
from the incorporation
of the spun-off portion of Petrobras Distribuidora S.A. (BR). The credits are mostly derived from Debt Acknowledgement Agreements (CCDs) entered into between BR and Eletrobrás System companies in March
2013 and December 2014. The CCD balance is adjusted by the SELIC rate and
96% of the debt is
guaranteed by a pledge of credits from the Energy
Development Account (“CDE”) and 4% by Eletrobrás corporate guarantee.
There is no way to guarantee that these companies will bear their financial obligations to the INCORPORATED or that Eletrobrás and CDE will bear the amount that they have
guaranteed, which could adversely affect their financial results.
Operations with related parties may not be properly identified and handled.
Operations such as the incorporation of Downstream by Petrobras and the transfer of receivables from Petrobras Distribuidora (BR) through a contribution in BR by Petrobras are
transactions with related parties. Such transactions must follow market standards and be conducted interchangeably, objective and documented decision-making processes, compliance with the rules of competition and adequate disclosure of information,
in accordance with the applicable legislation and as determined by CVM and SEC. Any failure to identify and handle such situations in accordance with current legislation may adversely affect the Company’s economic and financial condition, as
well as a result in assessments by regulatory agencies and/or judicial inquiries by Petrobras shareholders.
(b) Description of the main changes in the risk factors occurred in the previous year and expectations regarding the reduction or
increase in the exposure to risks as a result of the operation, pursuant to item 5.4 of the reference form
On August 31, 2017, the INCORPORATED absorbed the
portion spun-off by BR, composed, for the most part, of credits arising from Debt Acknowledgement Agreements (CCDs) entered into by BR and Eletrobrás System companies in March 2013 and December 2014. The transaction changed the risk factors of
the INCORPORATED relating to the previous year.
No reduction or increase in the exposure to risks of the INCORPORATED is identified as a result from the
incorporation operation.
| (c) | Description of its activities, pursuant to items 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 and 7.4 of the reference form |

Report to the Board
of Directors meeting of 09/27/2017 on the
54th and 55th meetings of the Financial Committee (COFIN).
On September 20, 2017, the Financial Committee (COFIN) held its 54th and 55th meetings, when the points summarized below were discussed.
8. Subject matter to CA - DFINRI - FINANCIAL- “MERGER OF DOWNSTREAM PARTICIPAÇÕES LTDA. INTO PETROBRAS AND CAPITAL SUBSCRIPTION OF PETROBRAS IN DOWNSTREAM
PARTICIPAÇÕES LTDA. “
The General Manager of Loans and Financing Management of the Financial unit Larry Carris Cardoso submitted the proposals to:
(i) authorize and submit to the final deliberation of the Petrobras General Meeting the proposed merger of Downstream Participações Ltda. (Downstream) by Petróleo Brasileiro SA (Petrobras), and; (ii) authorize the capital subscription
of Petrobras in Downstream Participações Ltda. in the amount of up to BRL 63 million (sixty-three million reais), in order to pay the taxes levied on the financial revenues arising from the receivables from the spun-off portion of
Petrobras Distribuidora SA - BR, incorporated into the capital of Downstream Participações Ltda. Petróleo Brasileiro S/A - Petrobras.
Currently,
Downstream is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Petrobras, not carrying out any operating activities. In addition, despite its corporate purpose, Downstream currently holds only one shareholding, of 0.01% of the capital of 5283 Participações
Ltda., a company that also owns Petrobras, with a 99.99% interest.
Therefore, there are no economic reasons for maintaining Downstream’s existence. The
benefits of Downstream’s merger include the elimination of Downstream’s annual cost of maintenance of approximately BRL 300 thousand/year, the optimization of the Petrobras System’s corporate structure, and the possibility of
utilization by Petrobras of tax credits accrued by Downstream about BRL 2.4 million.
Downstream incorporated a spun-off portion of BR Distribuidora, comprised of
CCDs entered with the Eletrobrás System. The debtors’ balance of the CCDs is subject to monthly update by SELIC, which generates financial income resulting from the update of the securities that will be computed on the calculation basis of
IRPJ/CSLL (34%) and taxed by PIS/COFINS (4.65%). The amount of this taxation is estimated at BRL 22 million per month. Although the monthly amounts to be received by Downstream as a result of the payment of the CCD installments generate cash.
Historically, there is a delay in the payment of these installments. As Downstream has no excess cash available, if there is a delay in the payment of CCD installments, the company will not have enough funds to pay the taxes due.
The members of COFIN recommend to CA the approval of the proposals submitted, requesting it be complemented by the material to be provided to the Executive Board, and submitted in
the text of proposal “1”: “To approve the realization of capital subscriptions of Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. at Downstream Participações S.A., in the amount of up to 63 million, through one or more operations, to be
effected in accordance with the company’s cash requirements, and with authorization from the Financial and Investor Relations Executive Officer.”
