Petrobras Announces Global Bond Repurchase Offer of Up to $3 Billion

Petrobras Announced That Its Subsidiary Petrobras Global Finance BV Will Launch Two Global Bond Buyback Offers With Maturities Between 2021 and 2044

Petrobras is opening two buyback offers for bonds abroad, one of the “Any-and-all” type for the entire outstanding amount of certain bonds in euros and pounds with varying maturities; and another, the “Waterfall”, in dollars, up to the limit of US$ 3 billion less the total payment made in the first. The bonds are from Petrobras Global Finance B.V. – PGF.

If the amount offered by the bondholders causes the Waterfall Buyback Offer to exceed the limit of US$ 3 billion, the bonds validly delivered and accepted for repurchase will be repurchased following a priority order; less the payment made in the Any-and-all offer.
