(Adds information on fading executive rebellion, shareholders’ meeting)
RIO DE JANEIRO, Feb 23 (Reuters) - The board of Brazilian state-run oil company Petrobras on Tuesday called an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting, a move that all but guarantees the exit of Chief Executive Roberto Castello Branco.
In a statement, Petroleo Brasileiro SA, as the company is officially known, said it had called the meeting in response to a request by the nation’s Mines and Energy Ministry.
At the meeting, shareholders are expected to formalize the replacement of Castello Branco with Joaquim Silva e Luna, a general picked by President Jair Bolsonaro.
