Petrobras est une compagnie pétrolière et gazière brésilienne intégrée verticalement, opérant dans l'exploration, la production, le raffinage, la distribution et la vente de produits pétroliers et gaziers.

L'instrument financier détaillé est une obligation émise par Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. (Petrobras), la compagnie pétrolière et gazière brésilienne contrôlée par l'État, qui représente un pilier majeur de l'économie brésilienne et un acteur prépondérant sur la scène énergétique mondiale, impliquée dans l'exploration, la production, le raffinage et la distribution de pétrole et de gaz naturel; cette obligation, identifiable par le code ISIN US71645WAS08 et le code CUSIP 71645WAS0, a été émise au Brésil et est actuellement cotée sur le marché secondaire à 98.73% de sa valeur nominale, un prix qui reflète les dynamiques de l'offre et de la demande ainsi que la perception du risque par les investisseurs; libellée en dollars américains (USD), elle offre un taux d'intérêt fixe (coupon) de 6.75%, avec des paiements d'intérêts effectués deux fois par an aux porteurs; sa date d'échéance est fixée au 26 janvier 2041, ce qui en fait un titre à longue maturité, influencé par les anticipations des taux d'intérêt à long terme et la prime de risque de duration; enfin, sa qualité de crédit est évaluée par les agences de notation financière, recevant une note "BB" de Standard & Poor's (S&P) et "Ba1" de Moody's, plaçant toutes deux cette obligation dans la catégorie des placements spéculatifs (non-investment grade), ce qui indique un risque de crédit plus élevé par rapport aux obligations de catégorie d'investissement, mais souvent compensé par un rendement potentiel supérieur.

prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus or any document incorporated by reference is accurate as of any date other than the date of the relevant document.
