The chairman of Petrobras’ Board of Directors, Márcio Weber, decided to call a meeting for next Monday (7/18) at which the Extraordinary General Meeting should be called. At the meeting, shareholders will vote on the new members of the Board of Directors, including the future occupants of the seats that the federal government holds. Weber told the CNN that the meeting should be held for August 18.
The advance in the process of changes in the oil company’s top management is only possible because the Petrobras Eligibility Committee concluded at the beginning of the night of this Wednesday (13) the analysis of the names of the nominees.
There are nine candidates for the Board of Directors for seven seats at stake. Two now belong to minority shareholders and five to the federal government. The shareholders want to reappoint the already members of the collegiate, Juca Abdalla and Marcelo Gasparino.
The government has already indicated five new names and two of current councilors, which are seen as “room for manoeuvre”, in case one of the five is prevented from assuming the post during the process or gives up, as has already happened with other candidates in charge of Petrobras. .
The names of candidates for rookies are Jonathas Assunção Salvador Nery de Castro, number 2 of the Civil House Ministry; Gileno Barreto (also appointed as Chairman of the Board of Directors), president of Serpro; Ricardo Soriano de Alencar, Attorney General of the National Treasury; Iêda Cagni, Chairman of the Board of Banco do Brasil; and Edison Antônio Costa Britto Garcia, chairman of the Board of Directors of BRB, Banco de Brasília.
Márcio Weber, current chairman of the Board of Directors, and Ruy Schneider are the veterans appointed by the government.
Minutes of the Eligibility Committee meeting will be published at the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) within seven days with the result of the analysis and suggestions to minimize possible conflicts of interest of the nominees. THE CNN has already revealed that three of these five potential rookies nominated by the government had reservations pointed out during the background check process.
