The issuance of US$ 3.25 billion in Petrobras bonds carried out yesterday (28) is expected to pave the way for other companies and banks in the country to seek funds in the international financial market.

Even with the strong impact of the virus in the US and Brazil at this moment, the demand for Petrobras bonds, which exceeded US$ 15 billion, was surprising.

The amount above US$ 10 billion had not been seen for a long time in the fundraising efforts by Brazilian issuers.

The bonds have a value of US$ 1.5 billion, maturing on January 3, 2031, with a coupon of 5.6% per annum (pa) and an issuance price of 99.993%, while the maturity on June 3, 2050 has a value of US$ 1.75 billion, a coupon of 6.75% pa, an issuance price of 98.110%, and a yield to the investor of 6.9% pa.

According to the state company, the subsidiary intends to use the funds for corporate purposes. The operation was led by BNP Paribas, Itau BBA, J.P. Morgan, Scotia Capital, and SMBC Nikko Securities Americas.
