(“PGF”). The Notes will be unsecured obligations of PGF and will be fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by Petrobras. Closing is expected to occur on September 13, 2024.

 

The terms of the 6.000% Global Notes due 2035 are as follows:

 

  · Issue: 6.000% Global Notes due 2035
  · Amount: US$1,000,000,000

  · Issue price: 98.128%
  · Yield to Investors: 6.250%
  · Maturity: January 13, 2035

 

PGF intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes to repurchase its 5.093% Global Notes due January 2030, 5.600% Global Notes due January 2031, 5.500% Global Notes due June 2051, 5.625% Global Notes due May 2043, 6.750% Global Notes due June 2050 and 6.900% Global Notes due March 2049, in each case that PGF accepts for purchase in the tender offers announced concurrently with the offering of the Notes, and to use any remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes.

 

This announcement is for informational purposes only, and does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to purchase any securities.

 

There shall be no sale of the Notes in any jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. PGF and Petrobras have filed a registration statement, including a prospectus with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. These documents are available to the public over the Internet at the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov.

 

The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area (“EEA”). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, “MiFID II”); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended, the “Insurance Distribution Directive”), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (as amended, the “Prospectus Regulation”); and the expression “offer” includes the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the Notes to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe the Notes. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the “PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and the Notes will not be offered or sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the EEA.
