Petrobras on health care benefits (AMS)
Rio de Janeiro, April 29, 2020 – Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. – Petrobras reports that its Board of Directors approved a new management model for AMS – Multidisciplinary Health Care, by establishing a new civil, non-profit association, maintaining the self-management modality.
The model change aims to provide greater corporate security with technology, governance and compliance, through a professional management and expertise in supplementary health care, enabling the quality improvement of services and assistance to beneficiaries, as well as greater transparency in its management, cost efficiency and risk segregation. It should be noted that there will be no change in the benefit or its scope after the transfer to the new management model.
Currently, the AMS management is carried out by the Human Resources department of the company, under a HR self-management model, and based on self-sustainability principles. In this model, there are no equity requirements enacted by the National Supplementary Health Agency (ANS), since the benefit management is internal, whereas in the operator’s self-management model – in this case, a civil association – it will be required to establish guarantees pursuant to the rules of such Agency.
The company will assess, within the framework of the transition plan and implementation of the new model, the possibilities to optimize the payment of contributions and guarantees required by the regulation for the appropriate planning of this expense.
The company will seek a present value of the potential savings in 10 years of at least R$ 6.2 billion.
The obligation to remeasure the post-employment liabilities in the sponsors’ financial statements on an annual basis will remain in the new approved management model, according to rules set forth in CVM 695/12 (CPC 33R1).
With the Board’s decision, the company will structure the implementation and transition plan through the upcoming months for a new internal approval at Petrobras.
Petrobras reinforces its commitment to transparency and respect for all its employees.
