Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Exchange Offer Documents, PGF expects that it will issue approximately U.S.$4,109,583,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.093% global notes due 2030 (the “New Notes”), and that it will pay U.S.$2,782,440,087.68 in cash, as consideration for the Old Notes expected to be accepted in the Exchange Offers, without taking into account additional New Notes that may be issued and additional cash that may be paid, in exchange for Old Notes reflected in notices of guaranteed delivery received by PGF at or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on September 17, 2019 (the “Guaranteed Delivery Date”) pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures described in the Offering Memorandum (the “Guaranteed Delivery Procedures”). The pricing terms of the New Notes were announced by Petrobras on September 13, 2019.

In addition to the applicable exchange consideration, eligible holders whose Old Notes are accepted for exchange will be paid, in cash, accrued and unpaid interest on such Old Notes to, but not including, the Settlement Date. Interest will cease to accrue on the Settlement Date for all Old Notes accepted in the Exchange Offers, including those tendered through the Guaranteed Delivery Procedures. The total amount of accrued and unpaid interest to be paid by PGF, together with the total amount of cash to be paid by PGF in lieu of fractional amounts of New Notes, will be approximately U.S.$71,246,761.93 (excluding amounts payable in respect of Old Notes that may be tendered pursuant to the Guaranteed Delivery Procedures).


The actual aggregate principal amounts of New Notes that will be issued, and the total amount of cash , including accrued and unpaid interest, that will be paid, on the Settlement Date, are subject to change based on deliveries under the Guaranteed Delivery Procedures and final validation of tenders. PGF will not receive any cash proceeds from the Exchange Offers.

Given the amount of New Notes expected to be issued on the Settlement Date, the condition to consummate the Exchange Offers relating to the minimum issue requirement described in the Offering Memorandum, along with the condition relating to the settlement of the Cash Offers, are expected to be satisfied on the Settlement Date. All the other conditions for the consummation of the Exchange Offers were satisfied on the Expiration Date.

The New Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or any state securities laws. Therefore, the New Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws. PGF will enter into a registration rights agreement with respect to the New Notes.

Only holders who had duly completed and returned an eligibility letter certifying that they were either (1) “qualified institutional buyers” (“QIBs”) as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act or (2) non-“U.S. persons” (as defined in Rule 902 under the Securities Act) located outside of the United States were authorized to receive the Offering Memorandum and to participate in the Exchange Offers.
