EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
PRESENTATION TO SHAREHOLDERS
ITEM I
Disposal of 100% (one hundred percent) of the shares held by Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. -PETROBRAS, of Liquigás Distribuidora S.A., to Companhia Ultragaz S.A., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ultrapar Participações S.A.
According to the notice by the Company, on 11/17/2016, the Board of Directors -Conselho de Administração (“CA”), at meeting held on that date, approved the call of an Extraordinary General Meeting of PETROBRAS to resolve on the disposal of 100% (one hundred percent) of the shares held by Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. – PETROBRAS of Liquigás Distribuidora S.A. à Companhia Ultragaz S.A. (“Ultragaz”) for the amount of BRL 2.666 billion.
Liquigás is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PETROBRAS acting in the bottling, distribution and marketing of liquefied petroleum gas (“LPG”). The company is present in almost all the Brazilian states, has 23 operational centers, 19 warehouses, a road-railroad storage and loading base and a network of approximately 4,800 authorized resellers.
The fundamental objectives of the Business and Management Plan -Plano de Negócios e Gestão (“PNG”) 2015-2019, approved by the Board of Directors, on 06/26/2015, were deleveraging the Company and generating value for shareholders, setting forth a divestment amount for the period between 2015 and 2016 of US$ 15.1 billion. The Strategic Plan and the PNG 2017-2021, approved on 09/19/2016 by the Board of Directors -CA, set forth a divestment target of US$ 19.5 billion for the two-year period 2017-2018. This amount is complementary to the target of the biennium 2015-2016.
In addition, the Strategic Plan and the PNG 2017-2021 defined as one of their business portfolio optimization objectives, to cease the distribution of LPG in its entirety.

The sale of entire interest of PETROBRAS in Liquigás Liquigás, therefore, is strategically in line with the Strategic Plan and PNG 2017-2021.
Sale process
PETROBRAS structured a disposal procedure, which relied on the participation of strategic investors from the LPG and the Natural-Gas industries and financial investors.
From the 46 companies that received the teaser, 19 executed a confidentiality agreement to continue throughout the process and receive the detailed Information Memorandum of the asset for sale, which contains aspects such as financial forecasts and sector analysis.
After receiving non-binding offers, 6 (six) companies qualified for the first stage and were invited to conduct the due diligence, and submit binding offers together with the alterations proposed in the standard draft of the Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement -Contrato de Compra e Venda de Ações (“CCVA”).
At the end of the due diligence process, 3 (three) binding offers were received, with different commercial conditions, and that of Ultragaz, containing the best price and contractual conditions, was considered the most advantageous by Petrobras.
Execution of the CCVA.
After the process of negotiation with Ultragaz and the internal process of approval of the operation by PETROBRAS’ Executive Office and Board of Directors were finalized on 11/17/2016, PETROBRAS and Ultragaz signed the Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement and Other Covenants (“CCVA”), in the capacities of Seller and Buyer, and Liquigás and Ultrapar, in the capacity of intervening parties, with a conditions precedent clause imposing, among others, the suspensive condition of subsequent approval by the competent corporate authorities from both parties (“Extraordinary General Meeting” [Assembleia Geral Extraordinária] or “AGE”) and the approval of the Transaction by the Administrative Council for Economic Defense [Conselho Administrativo de Defesa Econômica] (“CADE”).
Acquisition Price
The acquisition price is BRL 2,665,569,000.00 (two billion, six hundred and sixty-five million, five hundred and sixty-nine thousand reais) (“Base Acquisition Price”), which shall be adjusted by the variation of the average daily rate for interbank

deposits of 1 (one) day, calculated and published by the Securities Custody and Settlement Clearing House [Central de Custódia e Liquidação Financeira de Títulos] – CETIP and expressed as a percentage per year (for a year of 252 business days) (“CDI”) between the date of execution of the CCVA and the closing date of the Transaction (“Closing Date” and “Acquisition Price”). Such Base Acquisition Price corresponds to an enterprise value of BRL 2,800,000,000.00 (two billion and eight hundred million reais), which is increased by the value of the Plot of Land in Osasco (which may be excluded from the business by the Closing Date) and deducting the net debt of Liquigás, on December 31, 2015, in the amount of BRL 196,031,000.00 (one hundred and ninety-six million and thirty-one thousand reais).
Adjustments to the Acquisition Price
The Acquisition Price is subject to upward or downward adjustments, resulting from variations of working capital and from the position of the net debt of Liquigás between December 31, 2015 and the Closing Date, to be calculated after the Closing Date.
Suspensive and dissolving conditions
The completion of the Transaction is subject to certain suspensive conditions, which are usual in businesses of this nature, among which, are emphasized (i) approval by CADE; (ii) approval by the Extraordinary General Meeting of shareholders of Ultrapar, pursuant to the terms of article 256 of Law No. 6.404/76; and (iii) approval by the AGE of shareholders of PETROBRAS, pursuant to the terms of its Bylaws.
Summary of the representations and warranties made by PETROBRAS
The representations and warranties made by PETROBRAS are (i) organization and existence of PETROBRAS and of Liquigás pursuant to the terms of the Brazilian Law; (ii) capacity of PETROBRAS and of Liquigás to execute the CCVA, comply with the obligations assumed therein and conclude the transaction thereof; (iii) absence of violation of law, of corporate documents of PETROBRAS or of Liquigás and of any instrument executed by PETROBRAS or by Liquigás, resulting from the execution of the CCVA; (iv) title to the shares encompassed by the Acquisition by PETROBRAS and absence of encumbrances; (v) compliance and adequacy of the financial statements of Liquigás of December 31, 2015 and of its books of accounts and tax records with Brazilian accounting principles and the applicable law (vi) conducting of the business of Liquigás in its normal course from December 31, 2015 until the date of execution of the CCVA; (vii) absence of material proceedings (as defined in the CCVA) involving Liquigás; (viii) property or

possession, by Liquigás, of the assets which are necessary for continuity of the normal course of its business, free from encumbrances; (ix) maintenance of insurance policies at an adequate amount by Liquigás; (x) tax aspects; (xi) labor aspects; (xii) anti-corruption aspects; (xiii) competition aspects; (xiv) intellectual property held by Liquigás or which is used by it; (xv) compliance with the laws by Liquigás; (xvi) absence of third parties entitled to receive payment as a consequence of the Acquisition (except for the financial advisor of PETROBRAS, whose commission shall be paid by PETROBRAS); and (xvii) absence of payments or bonuses resulting from the acquisition (including to employees and administrators of Liquigás).
Summary of the representations and warranties made by Ultragaz
The representations and warranties made by Ultragaz are (i) the organization and existence of the buyer pursuant to the terms of Brazilian Law; ((ii) capacity of Ultragaz to execute the CCVA, comply with the obligations assumed therein and consummate the transaction set forth in same; (iii) absence of violation of law, of the corporate documents of Ultragaz and of any other instrument executed by Ultragaz, resulting from the execution of the CCVA; (iv) availability of funds, own, or upon financing by first class financial institution, to comply with the obligations of the CCVA; (v) absence of any fee or commission of broker, intermediary or other similar fee or commission in respect of the transaction, except by Banco Bradesco BBI S.A.; (vi) Ultragaz had access to information on Liquigás during the negotiation phase through technical visits, questions and answers (“Q&A”) and consultation of the documentation made available in the Data Room.
Rules on indemnification by PETROBRAS
PETROBRAS shall indemnify Ultragaz, Liquigás (after the closing date of the transaction), its affiliates and respective administrators for any losses, obligations, lawsuits or liabilities, as well as fines, interest, penalties, costs or expenses, including procedural costs, reasonable attorney fees and the fees of other specialists (“Losses”), effectively and directly sustained or incurred by such persons resulting from: (i) any imprecision, violation or omission of any representation or warranty provided by PETROBRAS in the CCV; (ii) of partial or total failure to comply with any obligation, duty or agreement assumed by PETROBRAS in the CCV; (iii) of noncompliance with anti-corruption laws in conducting the administration and/or business and activities of Liquigás; and/or
(iv) of the Osasco plot of land, if has been sold by Liquigás to third parties before the closing date of the transaction.

12


LOGO

Certain limitations apply to the obligation to pay indemnification, which vary depending on the nature of the loss. Losses specifically related to fraud, willful misconduct or bad faith by PETROBRAS, to noncompliance with the anti­corruption laws in conducting the administration and/or business and activities of Liquigás shall be subject to indemnification within a period of up to 5 years counting from the closing date of the transaction, limited to the value of the acquisition price.
Rules on indemnification by Ultragaz
Ultragaz shall indemnify PETROBRAS and Liquigás (before the date of closing of the transaction), their affiliates and respective administrators for (i) losses effectively sustained or incurred resulting from any violation or omission of any representation or warranty provided; (ii) partial or total noncompliance, with any obligation, duty or agreement assumed in the CCVA.
Necessary government approvals
The Acquisition is subject to approval by CADE.
Having in view that Liquigás leases certain areas located in port terminals, ANTAQ’s must also be obtained by PETROBRAS in the scope of compliance with the conditions precedent to the closing, to prevent termination of the relevant contracts.
Guarantees granted
Ultragaz submitted the Bank Guarantee Letter No. 2.076.299-3 issued by Banco Bradesco S.A., and valid until 02.14.2018, which is intended to guarantee (i) the payment of the Acquisition Price, (ii) the payment of the adjustment to the Acquisition Price (it is due by Ultragaz pursuant to the terms of the CCVA) and (iii) the payment of a penalty in case of the complete rejection of the transaction by CADE or in case of the extraordinary general meeting of Ultrapar does not approve the acquisition transaction.
Inapplicability of article 253 of the Brazilian Corporations Law -LSA
It must be stressed, moreover, that based on Circular Official Letter /CVM/SEP/No. 02/2016 and on article 253 of Law No. 6.404/76 it does not apply in this case, considering the current positioning of the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission -Comissão de Valores Mobiliários (“CVM”) on the subject, to the effect that such provision would only be applicable if Liquigás had become a wholly-owned subsidiary through a transaction of acquisition of shares, which
12

 

13


LOGO

was not the case, as Liquigás started to integrate the PETROBRAS System after a stock acquisition and sale transaction.
Legal Actions and the Federal Court of Accounts -TCU
Finally, in relation to the provisional decision of the Federal Court of Accounts ­Tribunal de Contas da União (TCU), as disclosed on 12/8/2016, and to the legal proceedings being processed at the Judiciary dealing with transactions of divestments by PETROBRAS, with respect to the disposal of the shares of Liquigás, to date such disposal was not suspended by injunctions filed in the scope of popular actions and of public civil actions, and there is no impediment for PETROBRAS to continue to comply with the conditions precedent set forth in the CCVA.
There is also decision TC-013.056/2016-6 pronounced by the Full Court of the TCU, which gave PETROBRAS permission to conclude five deals, in addition to the disposal of the shares of Liquigás, whose contractual instruments relative to the Transaction had already been signed.
Economic valuations
Economic internal (buyer’s perspective) and external (market perspective) valuations were made, in compliance with the Methodology for Divestment of Assets and Companies of the PETROBRAS System. The final value of the transaction exceeded corporate valuation scenarios; and it was considered reasonable by the fairness opinions on the transactions issued by Itaú BBA and by Banco Crédit Agricóle Brasil S.A.
In view of the above, the Board of Directors of PETROBRAS submits to the esteemed appreciation and resolution of the General Meeting, the proposal for disposal of 100% (one hundred percent) of the shares held by Petróleo Brasileiro
S.A. – PETROBRAS of Liquigás Distribuidora S.A. to Companhia Ultragaz S.A. for the amount of BRL 2.666 billion.

To the Board of Directors of Petróleo Brasileiro S.A.
November 4th, 2016
Petróleo Brasileiro S.A.
Av . República do Chile, 65
Rio de Janeiro 20031-912
Brazil
Dear Sirs:
We understand that Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. (“Petrobras”) is negotiating the sale of Liquigás Distribuidora S.A. (“Liquigás “ or the “Company”), to Companhia Ultragaz S.A. (“Buyer”), which shall include 100% of the share capital of the Company (the “Proposed Acquisition”).
On October 21st, 2016 Petrobras made available to us the final version of the stock purchase agreement (“SPA”) and the Binding Offer (“BO”) containing the final terms of the Proposed Acquisition, with an offer price of BRL 2,800,000,000.00 (two billion and eight hundred million Reais) in a cash and debt free basis, including three minority stakes that Liquigás holds in other companies but excluding a non-operational real estate asset (“Enterprise Value” or “Offer Price”).
The Proposed Acquisition is to be effected by the transfer of 100% (one hundred percent) of Liquigás shares to the Buyer, whereby Petrobras will receive 100% of the Enterprise Value at the closing adjusted by the CDI interest rate between the signing of the SPA and the closing date, minus the Company’s net debt at closing plus the working capital variation between December 31st, 2015 and the closing date plus BRL 61,600,000.00 (sixty one million and six hundred thousand Reais) for the real estate asset (“Real Estate Asset Price”) if Petrobras is not able to sell the asset before the closing date.
We have been requested by Petrobras to give an opinion with respect to the fairness to Petrobras, from a financial point of view, of the Offer Price to be paid by the Buyer in the context of the Proposed Acquisition (the “Opinion”).
In arriving at our Opinion, we have reviewed certain business information related to Liquigás provided to us by Petrobras, including the respective operational, financial and prices forecasts of the Company, the business plan, and the audited financial statements, when available.
We have considered certain financial and stock market data , up to October 21st, 2016, of publicly-held companies with businesses which we deemed relatively similar to those of the Company. We have also considered other information such as managerial reports, financial studies, analyses and investigations and financial, economic and market criteria which we deemed relevant.
We have also assumed that all the relevant contracts and the business plans that have been provided by Petrobras and its financial advisor in the virtual data roam are in force, updated and represent the Company’s management views as of the date hereof.
In addition, we have held discussions with members of Petrobras’ acquisitions and divestments team , regarding their views for the existing business of the Company and its future perspectives.
In connection with our review, we have not assumed any responsibility for lndependent verification of any of the foregoing information and have relied on its being complete and accurate in all material respects.

We have also assumed that the Proposed Acquisition will be consummated in accordance with its current financial terms described herein , in the BO and in the SPA , without waiver , modification or amendment of any material term, condition or agreement therein .
In addition we have not been requested to make, and have not made, an independent evaluation or appraisal of the contingent or off-balance assets and liabilities of the Company and its affiliates.
Our Opinion addresses only the fairness, from a financial point of view, to Petrobras of the Offer Price and does not address any other aspect or implication of the Proposed Acquisition, including the Real Estate Asset Price, or any other agreement or understanding entered into in connection with the Proposed Acquisition or otherwise. Our Opinion is necessarily based upon information made available to us on the date hereof and upon financial, economic, market and other conditions as they exist and can be evaluated on the date hereof.

We are not expressing any opinion as to what the future value of the ordinary shares of Liquigás or Petrobras actually will be pursuant to the Proposed Acquisition.
We will receive a fee from Petrobras for the delivery of this Opinion, which is not dependent on the completion of the Proposed Acquisition. lf, notwithstanding the terms of this letter, Petrobras does rely upon this Opinion, it will do so entirely at its own account and responsibility . In addition, Petrobras has agreed to indemnify and hold us harmless against any liabilities and other items arising out of our engagement.

Executive Summary
• Crédit Agricole CIB has been retained by Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. (“Petrobras” or “Seller”) to provide a fairness opinion regarding the disposal of 100% of Liquigás Distribuidora S.A. (“Liquigás” or the “Company”), a Brazilian Liquefied Petroleum Gas (“LPG”) distribution company:
• Petrobras performed a competitive process for the sale of 100% of Liquigás Distribuidora S.A. and is currently negotiating with the winning bidder (“Proposed Acquisition”), the oil & gas company Companhia Ultragaz S.A. (“Buyer”)
• On October 21st , 2016, Petrobras made available to us the final version of the stock purchase agreement (“SPA”) and the Binding Offer (“BO”) containing the final terms of the Proposed Acquisition, with an offer price of BRL 2,800,000,000.00 for 100% of Liquigás (the “Offer Price”)
• The Offer Price is in a cash and debt free basis, includes three minority stakes that Liquigás holds in other companies but excludes a non-operational real estate asset
• The Offer Price will be adjusted by CDI interest rate between the signing of the SPA and the closing of the Proposed Acquisition
• Liquigás operates in the bottling, distribution and sale of LPG and is a leading player in the LPG distribution sector in Brazil, with presence in 23 out of 26 States and leading positions in all regions
• The present document has been prepared by Crédit Agricole CIB in order to determine the fairness for Petrobras from a financial perspective of the Offer Price
• To carry out a comprehensive valuation for Liquigás (“Valuation”), four valuation references have been selected:
• The Discounted Cash Flow (“DCF”) methodology based on Liquigás’ 2016-2030 business plan provided by Petrobras and its financial advisor
• Precedent transactions multiples based on comparable transactions in the Brazilian LPG distribution industry
• Comparable listed companies trading multiples of global LPG companies
• The shareholders’ equity method

 

27


LOGO

Executive Summary
• When applying the aforementioned methodologies for this specific case, it is important to notice the following:
• The DCF methodology was based in managerial information and projections provided to us by Petrobras and its financial advisor. Should those information and projections be not accurate the value of the Company could significantly change
• Both trading multiple and transaction multiple valuation do not take into account specific business plans and projects of the companies, being less relevant for our analysis
• The shareholders’ equity method does not capture Company’s perspectives and projections, therefore is less relevant in this specific case as well
• The base date of the Valuation is December 31st , 2015 as requested by Petrobras
• The total enterprise values derived from the selected methodologies are the following, as of December 31st , 2015 :
• DCF: BRL 2,156 – 2,350 MM, representing respectively 7.5x and 8.2x 2017E Liquigás EBITDA
• Trading: BRL 2,082 – 2,301 MM, representing respectively 7.3x and 8.0x 2017E Liquigás EBITDA
• Transaction: BRL 2,259 – 2,497 MM, representing respectively 7.9x and 8.7x 2017E Liquigás EBITDA
• Shareholders’ Equity Method: BRL 1,057 MM, representing 4.0x 2017E Liquigás EBITDA
• Our Valuation does not address the merits of the underlying decision by Petrobras to enter into any agreement regarding the Company, neither shall be deemed to be an assurance or guarantee as to the expected results of the Proposed Acquisition, and does not constitute an opinion or recommendation to any shareholders’ meetings to be held in connection with this Proposed Acquisition

The most common way of promoting the product is through 13kg bottles (popularly called cooking gas) targeting domestic use
LPG is the most versatile form of energy for cooking food and heating water, being the second most used energy source by the country’s commercial sectors
Branded distributors are the most common distribution channel to sell the product to end users
The bulk market is characterized by the distribution of LPG through tanker trucks and also customized to the needs of each client
Unlike the distribution of gas for domestic use (bottled) in which there is an exchange of the container, the distribution of the bulk gas is performed on site, wherein the container can be stationary (fixed) or transportable and receives the LPG in liquid form

• The DCF method, which reflects the intrinsic value of the company, was used to value Liquigás, as we believe it to be the most relevant method
• The DCF model was based on Liquigás business plan without synergies
• Sensitivities run on WACC and perpetuity growth rate
• WACC calculated at 12.55% in nominal terms (in BRL) and perpetual growth rate is estimated at 0.0% (real terms) or 4.4% (nominal terms)
BENCHMARK
RETAINED
• This method allows a direct comparison between the valuation of a company and its listed peers
• Peers in LPG distribution business were selected
• Relevant metric: EBITDA
• There is no listed Brazilian LPG pure player, most of the Companies are located in other markets and also engages in other activities affecting its multiples, therefore we consider this parameter to be less relevant in this case
• Only transactions in the LPG Brazilian market were analyzed due to the specific characteristics of the market (high penetration, low competition of natural gas and Petrobras role as sole supplier)
• Based on the limited number of transactions in Brazil and considering undisclosed expected synergies from comparables, we consider this parameter to be less relevant
• Based on the company’s shareholders’ equity
• This method is usually employed for companies in sectors with strong asset bases such as utilities. It does not capture profitability and future perspectives

Inapplicability of article 253 of Brazilian Corporations Law -LSA
Let it also be stressed that article 253 of Law No. 6.404/76 does not apply to this case, considering the current position of the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission -Comissão de Valores Mobiliários (“CVM”) on the subject, to the effect that such provision would only apply in the event of PetroquímicaSuape and CITEPE having become wholly-owned subsidiaries by acquisition of shares, which was not the case.
Legal Actions and the Federal Court of Accounts -TCU
Finally, in relation to the provisional decision of Tribunal de Contas da União (TCU) – Federal Court of Accounts, as disclosed on 12/08/2016, and the injunctive decisions of the Judiciary on the subject of divestment transactions by PETROBRAS, with respect to the disposal of the shares of PetroquímicaSuape and CITEPE, such disposal has not been suspended to date by judicial injunctive measures filed in the scope of popular actions and of public civil actions, and there is not impediment to PETROBRAS proceeding to comply with the conditions precedent set forth in the CCVA.
There is also decision TC-013.056/2016-6 pronounced by the Full Court of the TCU, which gave PETROBRAS permission to conclude five deals, among them, disposal of the shares of PetroquímicaSuape and CITEPE.
Economic valuations
Economic internal (buyer’s perspective) and external (market perspective) valuations were made, in compliance with the Methodology for Divestment of Assets and Companies of the PETROBRAS System. The final value of the transaction exceeded the internal and external assessment scenarios, and it was also considered fair by the external fairness opinions issued by G5 Evercore and by the bank Crédit Agricole.
In view of the above, the Board of Directors of PETROBRAS submits to the esteemed appreciation and deliberation of the General Meeting the proposal of disposal of 100% (one hundred percent) of the shares held by Petróleo Brasileiro
S.A. – PETROBRAS in PetroquímicaSuape and CITEPE for the amount equivalent to US$ 385,000,000.00 (three hundred eighty-five million dollars), adjusted by the positive cumulative change in the United States inflation rate, between the base date (12/31/2015) and the closing date of the operation, using the exchange rate of 3 business days prior to the closing operation date.

Dear Sirs:
We understand that Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. (“Petrobras”) is negotiating the sale of Liquigás Distribuidora S.A. (“Liquigás “ or the “Company”), to Companhia Ultragaz S.A. (“Buyer”), which shall include 100% of the share capital of the Company (the “Proposed Acquisition”).
On October 21st, 2016 Petrobras made available to us the final version of the stock purchase agreement (“SPA”) and the Binding Offer (“BO”) containing the final terms of the Proposed Acquisition, with an offer price of BRL 2,800,000,000.00 (two billion and eight hundred million Reais) in a cash and debt free basis, including three minority stakes that Liquigás holds in other companies but excluding a non-operational real estate asset (“Enterprise Value” or “Offer Price”).
The Proposed Acquisition is to be effected by the transfer of 100% (one hundred percent) of Liquigás shares to the Buyer, whereby Petrobras will receive 100% of the Enterprise Value at the closing adjusted by the CDI interest rate between the signing of the SPA and the closing date, minus the Company’s net debt at closing plus the working capital variation between December 31st, 2015 and the closing date plus BRL 61,600,000.00 (sixty one million and six hundred thousand Reais) for the real estate asset (“Real Estate Asset Price”) if Petrobras is not able to sell the asset before the closing date.
We have been requested by Petrobras to give an opinion with respect to the fairness to Petrobras, from a financial point of view, of the Offer Price to be paid by the Buyer in the context of the Proposed Acquisition (the “Opinion”).
In arriving at our Opinion, we have reviewed certain business information related to Liquigás provided to us by Petrobras, including the respective operational, financial and prices forecasts of the Company, the business plan, and the audited financial statements, when available.
We have considered certain financial and stock market data , up to October 21st, 2016, of publicly-held companies with businesses which we deemed relatively similar to those of the Company. We have also considered other information such as managerial reports, financial studies, analyses and investigations and financial, economic and market criteria which we deemed relevant.
We have also assumed that all the relevant contracts and the business plans that have been provided by Petrobras and its financial advisor in the virtual data roam are in force, updated and represent the Company’s management views as of the date hereof.
In addition, we have held discussions with members of Petrobras’ acquisitions and divestments team , regarding their views for the existing business of the Company and its future perspectives.

Petróleo Brasileiro S.A Avenida República do Chile, 65 -22nd Floor 20031-912 Rio de Janeiro -RJ -Brazil
Dear Sirs,
We understand that Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. (“Company” or “Petrobras”) received a binding offer dated August, 31 2016 (“Binding Offer” or “The Offer”) to sell 100% of both Companhia Petroquímia de Pernambuco (“PetroquímicaSuape” or “Suape”) and Companhia Integrada Têxtil de Pernambuco (“Citepe”) (altogether “Targets” or ‘‘PQS’’) (“Transaction”), for the amount of USD380 million (the “Consideration”), assuming a balance sheet free of cash and debt. The Offer was submitted by Grupo Petrotemex, S.A. de c.v. (“Petrotemex”) and DAK: Americas Exterior, S.L. (“DAK” and, jointly with Petrotemex, the “Purchasers” or “Aquirers”), both comprising the Alpek Group (“Alpek”), together with mark-ups to a previously provided Stock Purchase Agreement (“SPA”).
Petrobras has asked us whether, in our opinion, on December 31, 2015 (base date of the Offer) the Transaction were fair, from a financial point of view.
In connection with rendering our opinion, we have, among other things:
(i) Developed, as requested by Petrobras, a Valuation Memorandum (‘‘Valuation Memorandum”) with base date on December 31, 2015 (“Base Date”). As a result of that, all projections were assumed to start thereafter, including WACC calculation, trading analysis and macroeconomic data;
(ii) As indicated in the draft and preliminary versions of the Share Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) that Petrobras shared with us, the Transaction’s final purchase price would take into consideration certain adjustments to the Purchase Price originally defined in the Offer, counted from the Base Date until the Transaction closing date (“Closing”). Since we did not have access to the final SPA, in order to assess the nature and form of calculation of these adjustments, we did not assume, infer or otherwise estimate them, but rather construed our Valuation Memorandum based upon December 31 2015 audited financial figures, as provided by Petrobras and PQS, as well as, among others: the Confidential Information Memorandum (dated November 2015), teaser on the Transaction (dated October 2015), Management Presentation (dated March 2016), Business Plan (document entitled “PNG 2016-2025 Premissas e Resultados” dated October 17, 2016), conference calls held with Petrobras about PQS, Binding Offer (dated August 31, 2016) and publicly available information about PQS, the Purchasers and the markets in which PQS operates. For the avoidance of doubt, G5 Evercore was told to have accessed the same non-public information base that was provided to all potential acquirers of PQS, which participated in a broad sales process coordinated by the sell side financial advisor Credit Agricole S.A. (“Credit Agricole”) (please refer to item “xi” below). The only

adjustment to December 31, 2015 audited financials carried out in our Valuation Memorandum reflected a condition precedent for Closing (as indicated in the Binding Offer and also in the draft versions of the SPA, that we were provided), which was that PQS’ outstanding debt were prepaid in full by Petrobras (“cash free and debt free basis”);
(iii) Reviewed certain publicly available business and financial information relating to the industry that we deemed to be relevant;
(iv) Reviewed certain non-public internal financial statements, other non-¬public financial and operating data relating to the Target, that were prepared and furnished to us by the management of the Target as well;
(v) Reviewed certain financial projections related to the Target, that were provided to us by the Management of the Target as well;
(vi) Discussed the past and current operations, financial projections, current financial condition and prospects of the Target with certain members of Senior Management of the Company and the Target as well;
(vii) Reviewed draft agreements of the SPA between Petrobras and the Purchasers related to the acquisition of the Target;
(viii) Reviewed the financial terms of certain publicly available transactions that we deemed to be relevant;
(IX) Reviewed certain research analyst reports estimates of the future market environment in which the Target is part that we deemed to be relevant;
(x) Reviewed with the financial advisors to the Company (Credit Agricole) in this Transaction the scope and results of the transaction process to date conducted on behalf of the Company;
(xi) Been informed by Petrobras that Credit Agricole has performed a broad and competitive sales process for PQS, the result of which was that Alpek’s Offer was considered the most competitive for the consummation of the Transaction
(xii) Performed such other analyses and examinations and considered such other factors that we deemed appropriate.
For purposes of our analysis and opinion, we have assumed and relied upon, without undertaking responsibility for independently verifying the accuracy and completeness of the information reviewed by us or reviewed for us. We have also assumed that the process that led to the Transaction undertaken by the Company was appropriate and negotiated on an arm’s length basis. With respect to the financial projections of the Target which were furnished to us, we have assumed that such financial projections have been reasonably prepared by the Company and the Target as well, on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and good faith judgments of the future competitive, operating and regulatory environments and related financial

performance of the Target. We express no View as to any such financial projections or the assumptions on which they are based.
We have assumed, that all governmental, regulatory or other consents, approvals or releases necessary for the consummation of the Transaction will be obtained without any delay, limitation, restriction or condition that would have an adverse effect on the Company or the consummation of the Transaction.
Our opinion is necessarily based on economic, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to us as of, the date hereof. Additionally, our valuation assumes that the Target will operate on a standalone basis without potential synergies or operational gains from the Acquirers. Furthermore, please be advised that our valuation methodologies are detailed in the presentation named ‘‘Valuation Memorandum of PetroquímicaSuape and Citepe (PQS)”, which should be understood as part of this document. Please also be informed that subsequent developments may affect this opinion and that we do not have any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm this opinion.
We have not been asked to consider, and/or express any opinion with respect to any matter other than the fairness, from a financial point of view, as of the Base Date. Our opinion does not address the relative merits of the Transaction as compared to other business or financial strategies that might be available to the Target, nor does it address the underlying business decision of the Company to engage in the Transaction, be it in its current or in any other format. We are not legal, regulatory, accounting or tax experts and have assumed the accuracy and completeness of assessments by the Company and its advisors with respect to legal, regulatory, accounting and tax matters. In this respect, we have also not judged or made any inference regarding the appropriateness, accuracy, nature or rationale for the impairment tests applied to Suape and Citepe, which results led to significant losses in the latter’s financial statements as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015.
We have been engaged as financial advisor to the Company solely for the purpose of rendering this opinion and will receive a fee in connection with the delivery of this opinion. In addition, the Company has agreed to reimburse certain of our expenses and to indemnify us against certain liabilities arising out of our engagement. In addition, we and our affiliates may have in the past provided, may be currently providing and in the future may provide, other financial advisory services to the Company, or their respective affiliates, for which we have received, and would expect to receive, compensation.
It is understood that this opinion is solely for the information of the Company in connection with and for the purposes of its evaluation of the Transaction, and may not be disclosed to any third party or used for any other purpose without our prior written consent, except that a copy of this opinion may be included in any filing the Company is required to make with the Comissão de Valores Mobiliários (“CVM”) or any other disclosure required by law in connection with the Transaction if such inclusion is required by applicable law, provided that the opinion is reproduced in full in such filing and any description of or reference to us or summary of this opinion and the related analyses in such filing is in a form reasonably acceptable to us and our counsel. Our opinion does not constitute a recommendation to any holder of Company shares to agree or not in the Transaction.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that, on the Base Date, the Consideration to be paid by the Company for the Transaction, as stated in the Binding Offer, is fair, from a financial point of view.

• As requested by Petrobras, G5/Evercore’s Valuation Memorandum was construed based on a Company with no debt (nor financial expenses), starting on Jan 1, 2016, and based on prevailing market conditions on December 31, 2015. As a result of that:
• Enterprise Value ended up having the same economic meaning of Equity Value in this Valuation Memorandum
• The latter’s base date was December 31, 2015 and all projections were assumed to start thereafter, including WACC calculation, trading analysis and macro economic data

Executive Summary
Proposed Transaction – Key Considerations
• This Valuation Memorandum also considered the Company as a stand-alone entity, i.e.:
• It excluded any potential benefits, impacts, synergies or disynergies that PQS might have with the buyer, be them of an operating, financial, tax, environmental or any other nature, after the conclusion of the acquisition
• Since PQS is still in the ramp up stage (negative EBITDA), it consequently has limited capacity in the short term to access bank facilities without a Corporate Guarantee (no longer to be provided by Petrobras)
• This Valuation Memorandum did not assess the merits or the appropriateness of this debt prepayment, or the Transaction as a whole
• All assumptions applied to the DCF valuation were provided by Petrobras and PQS’ Management teams, which we assumed to be true, accurate, and/or reflective of both companies’ best assumptions. We also did not evaluate PQS’ business plan, that was provided to G5 Evercore
• The latest draft SPA that G5 Evercore had access allowed us to acknowledge that the Transaction’s final purchase price should be subject to certain future price adjustments (at and after Closing Date)
• However, the methodology for such calculation is still under negotiation between Petrobras and Alpek
• As such, no such potential adjustments were considered either in this Valuation Memorandum or in the Fairness Opinion Letter provided to Petrobras together with the former
• Our conclusion’ was that, on December 31, 2015 the Binding Offer Consideration for PQS was fair from a financial point of view, since it implied 12% and 57% premiums, respectively, to the mid-points of our valuation ranges respectively for Suape and Citepe (30% premium for the entire Offer)
• Offer for Suape: US$200 mm / Mid-point of G5/Evercore’s valuation for Suape: US$179 mm (equity value)
• Offer for Citepe: US$180 mm / Mid-point of G5/Evercore’s valuation for Citepe: US$114 mm (equity value)
Note: (1) As detailed in the Fairness Opinion Letter provided to Petrobras on this same date pursuant to this transaction, which, among other things, considered Petrobras’ Management’s information that a broad and competitive sales process was run for PQS, the result of which was that Alpek’s Offer was considered the most competitive for the consummation of the Transaction.

Executive Summary
Valuation Methodologies
• G5 Evercore prepared this Valuation Memorandum based on information provided by PQS and Petrobras, using the following methodologies to derive the Company’s equity value range:
• Discounted Cash Flow (“DCF”) Analysis
• Peer Group Trading Multiple (“Trading”) Analysis
• Peer Group Acquisition Multiple (“M&A Comps”) Analysis
• The DCF was considered the only valuation methodology that fully captures PQS’ ramp-up stage of operations. The absence of international traded peers of equivalent size and scope of operations undermined the quality of the results from the Trading and M&A Comps methodologies. The latter is shown in the next slide just for reference, not being reflected in the Fairness Opinion Letter
• Although the Acquisition Multiple derived valuation had the merit of considering only mid-sized EV companies that manufactured primarily PTA, PET and/or DTY (like PQS), its drawback was that the companies acquired had more mature businesses than PQS (higher utilization capacity) and more product diversification. As such, this methodology did not yield results as reliable as the DCF
•The Trading Multiple analysis was considered to be the weakest valuation methodology for PQS. Despite being part of the same broad global sector, the listed polyester companies have larger scale than the latter, more mature businesses, more product diversification, and cover a larger target market. As such, they should trade with a premium to PQS’ fundamental (DCF-based) value
• The DCF-derived Equity Value for PQS was determined to be between US$275 million and US$316 million (please refer to the next slide for a quantitative analysis), split as:
• Suape: US$168 million to US$193 million
• Citepe: US$107 million to US$123 million

Analysis
Based upon the multiples observed in strategic transactions
involving petrochemical producers and especially those
primarily focused on the production of PTA, PET and/or DTY
As past transaction manufacturers were though not always
limited to PTA, PET and/or DTY, their median multiple range
resulted overstated to evaluate PQS
It reflects prices paid in M&A transactions for assets in the
Company’s sector globally, considering the lack of
comparable domestic transactions
PQS’ projected 2020 EBITDA was considered (maturity of
operations), discounted by WACC to 2017, which was
compared to PQS’ EV in that year(1)
Based on the peer group trading multiples of global
companies acting in petrochemicals (PTA, PET and DTY)
The companies identified, though, had a larger scale of
operations, higher capacity utilization (in the initial years),
broader product diversification and covered a large Market
spectrum than PQS
Multiples based on the average of equity research analysts’
projections for 2017
It reflects the multiples of publicly-traded companies
No adjustments to reflect control premium or liquidity
PQS’ projected 2020 EBITDA was considered (maturity of
operations), discounted by WACC to 2017, which was
compared to PQS’ EV in that year (1)
Discounted cash flow analysis was considered to be the only methodology that fully captures PQS’ fundamental equity value, in light
of the ongoing ramp-up of its operations and the lack of international traded peers of equivalent size and scope of operations

Overview of Polyester Production Chain
Overview Product Descriptions
Purified Terephthalic acid (“PTA”) is obtained from the oxidation of
paraxylene with acetic acid, and is used primarily in the manufacture of
polyester (either resin called PET, fiber or film)
PET resin is clear, shatter resistant polyester resin mainly used in
packaging. Although it differs in terms of the final processing and enduse
applications, the production process is similar to that of polyester
fibers
Polyester Fibers are polymers made from PTA and Ethylene Glycol
(“MEG”) (Continuous Process) or Dimethyl Terephthalate (“DMT”) and
MEG (Discontinuous Process), further processed into textile fibers.
Polyester is the most used synthetic fiber in the world due to its low
production cost and large range of uses
Raw material of textile polyester, PET and resins for several types of
packaging, in addition to industrial fibers used in manufacturing tires, materials
and equipment for the electrical, automotive and petroleum industries.
Partially Oriented Yarn (“POY”) is the first yarn in the production of a polyester
filament, mainly used as a raw material for the production of others Polyester
Fibers, such as DTY
Draw Textured Yarn (“DTY”) processed POY which yields volume. Widely
used in the clothing segment
Fully Drawn Yarn (“FDY”) possesses production process similar to POY.

Overview Global Polyester Production Growth (mm ton)
• Global PTA production has witnessed strong growth in the period following the 2008 financial crisis with operating rates peaking above
90% levels. The global oversupply of PTA is expected by Petrobras’
Management to be narrowed to a non-meaningful level over time
• PET is forecasted to grow at approximately 4% per year throughout the next decade as the resin continues to gain ground in the food packaging and bottles industries, replacing other packaging formats
• World consumption is expected to maintain 6% annual growth as polyester fibers (namely DTY) continue to gain market share

Overview Brazilian Polyester Market Demand Growth (‘000 tpy)
• Demand for PTA, PET and DTY continues to grow in the Brazilian market, with growth rates projected to accelerate in the 2020-2024 period
• The only local PTA producer installed in Brazil, PQS quickly assumed leadership in market share for the product, with the remaining demand satisfied by imports (mainly from Mexico, as a result of no import tariffs)
• In the PET space, Italian Mossi & Ghisolfi (M&G), also present in the Port of Suape, leads with 76% market share in 2015
• Local DTY demand continues to be met in large part by imports

Petrobras’ strategic decision to
foster the revamp of the local textile industry (DTY, 2010), through a competitive vertically integrated operation.

Overview of PQS
Overview
•Founded in 2006 and originally included in the Growth Acceleration Program (“PAC”), launched by Federal Government, PQS is South America’s only integrated (PTA-PET) polyester producer and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Petrobras
• PQS in turn is composed of two companies located in the Suape port in Pernambuco: Petroquímica Suape, which encompasses PQS’ terephthalic acid (“PTA”) production, and Companhia Integrada Têxtil de Pernambuco (“Citepe”), which manufactures polyethylene terephthalate (“PET”) and drawn textured yarn (“DTY”)
• Across its three industrial production units, PQS possesses installed capacities of 700 ktpy for PTA, 450 ktpy for PET and 90 ktpy for DTY
• PQS was envisioned, together with Petrobras’ original partner, the Companhia Industrial Têxtil do Nordeste (Citene), as a means to stimulate the development of the polyester value chain in Brazil, initiating with the production of polyester for clothing (DTY) and subsequently integrating it backwards with PTA operations. Petrobras later acquired Citene’s 50% stake in PetroquímicaSuape and a 60% stake in Citepe

• The PQS complex began operations in 2011 with the start-up of the DTY unit. PTA operations began at the beginning of 2013, with PET line C and B starting up in mid 2014 and 2015, respectively
• The PET industrial facility possesses lines “B”, and “C”, which are operational
• DTY: Line “A” is at approximately 45% completion1 , but according to Petrobras management, it will not be concluded. The absence of line A will prevent the Company from realizing the full vertical integration originally envisioned at the time of projects’ planning (see slide 19)
• This explains the difference in pattern of capacity utilization forecast for PTA and DTY facilities (see graphs below)

• With the expansion of M&G’s Corpus Christi, Texas – based unit by year-end 2016, Mexican PTA exports currently destined to both the American and Brazilian markets will likely be absorbed by the former, leaving M&G Brazil more dependent on PQS’s domestically produced PTA
• Prices for PTA exports destined for DAK Argentina’s Zarate facility are expected to become competitive in 2018, supporting in ternational volumes
• M&G’s share in the PET business should be eroded up to a certain point, as local clients avoid overdependance upon a single PET supplier. This should drive PTA demand

Summary Projections for Citepe
Projected DTY Volumes and Average Prices
DTY Volume Projections (‘000 tons)
• Moderation of DTY volumes due to: (i) challenging pressure from lower-cost exports originating in Asia; (ii) originally planned price-efficient production method will not be achieved, since the vertical integration with the PTA production will not be completed. As a result, Citepe should keep importing POY (see slide 19), which basically eliminates Citepe’s competitive advantage on DTY

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis
Initial
Methodology
 Discounted cash flow methodology
 Projection of the Company’s future cash flows, in real US$ terms, based on the assumptions provided by PQS and Petrobras
 Projection of unlevered cash flows (FCFF), discounted by the weighted average cost of capital to calculate the net present value
─ Explicit projection period (up until 2040) in addition to terminal value
 Valuation considering the Company as a stand-alone entity, i.e. excluding any potential benefits or impacts, be them of an operating, financial, tax, environmental, or any other nature, if any, after the conclusion of the acquisition
Discounted Cash Flow
 Currency: United States Dollars (US$)
 Valuation date base: December 31, 2015
 Explicit period of projection: 25 years (December 31, 2015 to December 31, 2040)
 Operating assumptions: Base case and guidance provided by Management
 Cash flow: Midpoint of each period (“mid-year convention”) and
discounted in real US$ terms
 Weighted Average Cost of Capital: 11.03% in real US$ terms
 Terminal Value: Perpetuity calculation based on the Gordon Method. No real growth assumed
in perpetuity, as no further expansion in installed capacity is forecasted
Considerations
 Slight improvement in technical indexes of chemical inputs across all three product groups (PTA, PET, DTY)
 Approximately 50% market share in PET in Brazil by the end of 2018, in conformity with the identifiable strategic commercial opportunities associated to the expiry of significant PET supply contracts currently held by competitor M&G
 Continuity of DTY business
 Projections assume:
 The Brazilian PET market would not be sizeable enough to absorb an additional player1, while the developed economies in South America’s Pacific Coast (Chile, Colombia, and Peru) are efficiently served by Asian imports
 The main entry barriers for the polyester market in Brazil are: (i) scale (if scale is capped by market size/potential, on the other hand a minimal scale2 is required to yield a profitable textile operation); (ii) product approvals (particularly for PET) and potential clients’ own internal approval processes, which were informed to be restrictive and long lasting
Notes: (1) Current Brazilian market demand is estimated by Petrobras’ management to be equivalent to approximately 520 ktpy. PQS, which holds only 19% market share (see slide 18), possesses 450 ktpy of installed capacity; (2) Not yet achieved by PQS.

Main Assumptions
Main Fiscal Benefits
Repequim
 Company pays reduced PIS/Cofins rates applicable to acquisition of Paraxylene (PX) (1% until 2015 end, 3% in 2016, 5% in 2017 and 5.6% from 2018 on) and receives a tax credit of 9.25%
 Company can compensate its credits receiving cash or other tax deductions (IRPJ, IRRF, CSLL, PIS/COFINS and IPI)
Prodepe
 Company receives credit for ICMS every year based on a percentage of its ICMS payables according to the table below:
 Suape, 2023 and 2024 and 70% of tax credit
 Citepe, until 2022 and 85% of tax credit
Sudene
 Company has the right to use SUDENE tax benefit, which grants a 75% reduction over Company’s Income Rate. In order to use this benefit, PQS should file a request until 31/12/2018 (benefit’s term is 10 years)
General Assumptions
Sales and Pricing
 Sales and production volume assumptions were based on management guidance through 2025, and subsequently held constant;
 Pricing methodology was based on management guidance, with the exception of FX rate projections, which was considered based
on current Brazilian Central Bank estimates;
Capex
 Minimum capex, no facility modification / capex for improvements, only essential repairs associated to planned production stops
Working Capital
 Accounts receivable, payable and inventories cycles, as per management guidance and in line with historical figures;
Corporate Tax and NOLs
 PQS has a large stock of Accumulated Losses in its Balance Sheet, which, according to the Brazilian Law, is deductible for tax purpose

Appendix – Financing Cost
Rating Overview Expected Cost of Debt for PQS (USD)
• Additionally to 8.5% (USD), was assumed some adjusments to reflect the current leverage capabilities of PQS:
• +0.5% due to rating downgrade to benchmark Petrobras (i.e.: “B” area)
• +0.5% new issuer premium (first time accessing Debt Capital Markets)
• +1.0% size and illiquidity premium (issuance below US$ 500mn)
• + 0.5% no rating for PQS (issuance estimated to be an unrated privated placement)
• Final cost of debt: 11.0% (USD) area
• Based on this estimated long term marginal cost of debt, and the forecasted positive EBIT for Suape (starting in 2021) and Citepe (starting in 2018), we estimate that PQS could raise new debt, in the future (not in the short term), on the basis of its own balance sheet. This results in 10% of debt in the target capital structure.
