We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information or future events or for any other reason.

The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those expressed or forecast in any forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of assumptions and factors. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) failure to comply with laws or regulations, including fraudulent activity, corruption, and bribery; (ii) the outcome of ongoing corruption investigations and any new facts or information that may arise in relation to the “Lava Jato Operation”; (iii) the effectiveness of the Company’s risk management policies and procedures, including operational risk; and (iv) litigation, such as class actions or proceedings brought by governmental and regulatory agencies. A description of other factors can be found in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2016, and the Company’s other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

For the 4.875% Notes, the Principal Paying Agent will cause funds to be paid to The Bank of New York Depositary (Nominees) Limited, as common depositary for Clearstream and Euroclear, for further payment to its participants in the aggregate amount of €602,450,413.04, which constitutes the redemption price for the 4.875% Notes. The redemption price includes accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the 4.875% Notes from March 7, 2017 to (but not including) the Redemption Date in the amount of €8,199,902.13 and a make-whole premium of €20,473,510.91.

On the Redemption Date, the redemption prices, including accrued and unpaid interest, will become due and payable. Interest on the Notes will cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date. Upon the redemption, the 5.875% Notes will cease to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the 2.750% Notes and the 4.875% Notes will cease to be listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, and the Notes and the related guarantees by Petrobras will be cancelled and any obligation thereunder extinguished.

Because all of the Notes are held in book-entry form, payment of the redemption prices will be made directly to the registered holders.

PGF intends to fund the amounts necessary to redeem the Notes with the proceeds of its previously announced notes offering completed on May 22, 2017.
