Petrobras announces that its wholly-owned subsidiary Petrobras Global Finance B.V. (“PGF”), plans to offer additional notes of its 8.375% Global Notes due 2021 and 8.750% Global Notes due 2026 , subject to market and other conditions. The Notes will be unsecured obligations of PGF and will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Petrobras.
