States, other than any QIB and those persons, if any, retained to advise such non-U.S. person or QIB, is prohibited.

iv

PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA RETAIL INVESTORS  The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or
otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in EEA. For
these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article
4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU ("MiFID II"); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive 2002/92/EC ("IMD"), where
that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a
qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Directive.
MIFID II PRODUCT GOVERNANCE / PROFESSIONAL INVESTORS AND ECPS ONLY TARGET MARKET
Solely for the purposes of each manufacturer's product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the Notes
has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Notes is eligible counterparties and professional clients only, each
as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Notes to eligible counterparties and professional clients are
appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a "distributor") should take into
consideration the manufacturers' target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for
undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the manufacturers' target
market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.
SERVICE OF PROCESS AND ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
The Republic has agreed that any claim, dispute or difference of whatever nature arising under, out of or in connection with
the Notes (including a claim, dispute or difference regarding its existence, termination or validity or any non-contractual
obligations arising out of or in connection with the Notes) (a "Dispute"), shall be referred to and finally settled by arbitration
in accordance with the LCIA Rules (the "Rules"), with the seat of arbitration being in London, England, and the language of
arbitration being English. However, the Republic has also agreed that at any time before any Noteholder has nominated an
arbitrator to resolve any Dispute or Disputes pursuant to the above (i.e., through Arbitration), the Noteholders, at their sole
option, may elect by notice in writing (an "Election Notice") to the Republic that such Dispute(s) shall instead be resolved in
the courts as stated below. Following any such election, no arbitral tribunal shall have jurisdiction in respect of such
Dispute(s).
The Republic has further agreed for the benefit of the Noteholders that in the event that any of the Noteholders serves an
Election Notice in respect of any Dispute(s) pursuant to the above, the English courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear
and determine any such Dispute(s) arising from or connected with the Notes (the "Proceedings") and that the Republic may
not commence proceedings for the determination of any such Dispute(s) in any other jurisdiction. The Republic has agreed
that if any of the Noteholders serves an Election Notice, the courts of England shall be the most appropriate and convenient
courts to settle a dispute and, accordingly, that it will not argue to the contrary. Further, the Republic has agreed that
following the service of an Election Notice by the Noteholders, nothing in the above shall (or shall be construed so as to)
limit the right of the Noteholders to bring Proceedings for the determination of any Dispute(s) in the courts of England or in
any other court of competent jurisdiction, nor shall the bringing of such Proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions
preclude the bringing of Proceedings by the Noteholders in any other jurisdiction (whether concurrently or not) if and to the
extent permitted by law. The Republic has appointed Sociedade Nacional De Combustiveis De Angola Ltd. ("Sonangol
UK") of Merevale House, Brompton Place, London, SW3 1QE, as its agent on whom process may be served in any action
arising out of or based on the Notes in an English court and has further undertaken that, in the event of Sonangol UK ceasing
so to act or ceasing to be located in England, it will appoint another person as its agent for service of process in England in
respect of any Proceedings. Angolan courts have exclusive jurisdiction to resolve any dispute in connection with property
located in Angola. If the enforcement proceedings involve seizure of the Republic's assets located in Angola, such
proceedings must be brought before Angolan courts. If proceedings in relation to the Notes are commenced in Angola, any
process must be served on the Republic's Attorney General.
Article 41 of the Angolan Civil Code provides that the creation, perfection and enforcement of contracts between the parties,
as well as the contractual liability arising from such contracts are governed by the law chosen by the parties, provided that
such election has an effective link with a relevant element of the contract or is otherwise supported by a bona fide interest of
the parties. However, Article 22 of the Angolan Civil Code provides that a foreign law elected in accordance with those rules
will not be upheld if it involves a violation of a fundamental principle of Angolan public order or breaches a mandatory
Angolan principle or rule, even if the foreign law is validly chosen. The capacity, powers and authority to enter into an
agreement and bind the Angolan parties, as well as any related mandatory approvals, authorizations and permits, are subject
to Angolan law. The Angolan conflict of law provisions also determine that the creation, assignment and cancellation of
rights of possession, ownership and other related rights, including guarantees, over movable or immovable property are
governed by the lex rei sitae. In view of the above, the choice of the laws of England to govern the Notes may be deemed
valid, binding and enforceable against the Republic and in any proceeding for the enforcement of its obligations under the
Notes in Angola, the Angolan courts would give effect thereto, subject to the compliance with the above requirements.

v

The Republic is a sovereign state. To the extent that the Republic may in any jurisdiction claim for itself or its assets or
revenues immunity from suit, execution, attachment (whether in aid of execution, before judgment or otherwise) or other
legal process in respect of any Proceedings and to the extent that such immunity (whether or not claimed) may be attributed
in any such jurisdiction to the Republic or its assets or revenues, the Republic has agreed not to claim and has irrevocably
waived such immunity to the full extent permitted by the laws of such jurisdiction (and consented generally for the purposes
of the United Kingdom State Immunity Act 1978 to the giving of any relief or the issue of any process in connection with any
Proceeding). The execution, offer, issue and delivery of the Notes and the execution and delivery of the Fiscal Agency
Agreement and of the Deed of Covenant (as defined herein) of each Series of Notes, and the performance by the Republic of
its obligations thereunder and the exercise of its rights thereunder constitute private and commercial acts rather than
governmental or public acts. The waiver shall otherwise constitute a limited and specific waiver for the purposes of the Fiscal
Agency Agreement and the Deed of Covenant of each Series of Notes and the Notes. Furthermore, certain issues relating to
the authorization and issuance of the Notes have involved exercise by the Angolan authorities of their sovereign or legislative
powers. As a matter of Angolan law, the Republic cannot, and does not, waive its rights to interpret, inter alia, decrees of the
National Assembly or Government authorizing issuance of the Notes, the Fiscal Agency Agreement or the Deed of Covenant
of each Series of Notes. Further, under the Terms and Conditions of either Series of Notes, the Republic has not waived
immunity from execution or attachment in respect of: (a) assets that have been expressly recognized as belonging to the
public domain of the Republic (domínio publico), which may not be sold, encumbered or pledged in any way in accordance
with the laws of the Republic; (b) assets which constitute private domain assets expressly assigned to a public purpose
(domínio privado indisponível do Estado) in accordance with Article 823 of the Angolan Civil Procedure Code (Codígo de
Processo Civil) and Law 18/10 of 6 August - the Public Assets Law, which are not available for enforcement unless the same
is in respect of a debt guaranteed by a registrable security; (c) military assets belonging to the Republic and assets or property
under the control of a military authority or defense agency of the Republic; (d) assets belonging to any diplomatic mission or
consulate of the Republic that do not otherwise belong to the public domain (domínio publico) or fall under article 823 of the
Angolan Civil Procedure Code (Codígo de Processo Civil) and Law 18/10 of 6 August - the Public Assets Law; (e) assets of
the National Bank or other monetary authority of the Republic which are assigned to a public purpose; (f) properties
belonging to the cultural heritage of the Republic or which are a part of its archives and are not intended for sale; or (g) assets
that form part of an exhibition of scientific, cultural or historical interest and which are not intended for sale. Furthermore,
the Republic has not consented to service or waived sovereign immunity with respect to actions brought against it under the
U.S. federal securities laws or any state securities laws. In the absence of a waiver of immunity by the Republic with respect
to such actions, it may not be possible to obtain a judgement in such an action brought in a U.S. court against the Republic
unless such court were to determine that the Republic is not entitled under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 of
the United States to sovereign immunity with respect to such action.
In respect of foreign arbitral awards, in 2016, the Republic of Angola approved, by means of Resolution No. 38/2016, of 12
August 2016, its accession to the New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards
(the "NY Convention"), and the instrument of accession to the NY Convention was deposited and, therefore, the NY
Convention entered into force for Angola on 4 June 2017. Therefore, any foreign arbitral awards against the Republic in
relation to the Fiscal Agency Agreement, the Deed of Covenant of each Series of Notes or the Notes will be recognised and
enforced by the Angolan courts provided that the requirements imposed by applicable laws of the Republic of Angola are
satisfied, and that:
· within the framework of the reciprocity principle, the arbitral award has been made in the territory of another
contracting party to the NY Convention (as it is the case of England) and which is recognized by Angola;
· the party applying for recognition and enforcement submits its application together with a duly authenticated
original award or a duly certified copy thereof and the original or duly certified copy of the written agreement
between the parties undertaking to submit to arbitration;
· the above documents are translated into Portuguese language by a certified translator and legalised at the
Angolan Embassy in the country where the award was made; and

vi

· after the recognition by the Angolan Supreme Court, the enforcement request is submitted and conducted by the
common jurisdiction courts following the proceedings set out in the Civil Procedure Code.
Any judgment against the Republic in relation to the Fiscal Agency Agreement, the Deed of Covenant of each Series of
Notes or the Notes in the English courts will only be recognized and enforced in Angola after such judgment has been
validated and recognized by the Angolan Supreme Court. Enforcement of foreign court judgments in Angola is subject to the
following conditions:
· the foreign judgment must be legible and genuine on its face;
· the foreign judgment must be final, non-appealable and conclusive in accordance with relevant laws;
· the Angolan courts must have no jurisdiction to hear the dispute, and the foreign court which rendered the
judgment must have such jurisdiction;
· the foreign proceedings were conducted in accordance with the applicable procedures and the parties to the
dispute had been duly notified and properly represented in the proceedings;
· no concurrent proceedings are pending in an Angolan court;
· the foreign judgment does not conflict with a prior Angolan or foreign judgment in the same matter;
· the foreign judgment is not contrary to the public policy of Angola or to the Angolan conflict of laws; and
· where a foreign judgment is handed down against an Angolan citizen, the same must not offend provisions of
Angolan private law when the decision should have been determined under Angolan law pursuant Angolan
conflict of law rules.
Angola is not party to the Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents.
Therefore, as a matter of Angolan law, any document executed by the Republic outside Angola must be notarized, translated
into Portuguese language and legalized at the Angolan Embassy in the country of execution to be entirely enforceable before
Angolan courts. Likewise, any document executed by the Republic in Angola must be notarized and legalized in Angola in
order to be enforceable outside Angola. Each of the Fiscal Agency Agreement, Deed of Covenant of each Series of Notes and
Notes have been translated into Portuguese, notarized and legalized. Physical copies of these documents in English are
available to holders of the Notes from the Fiscal Agent.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Prospectus contains statements that may be considered to be "forward-looking statements". These forward-looking
statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms "believes", "estimates",
"projects", "expects", "intends", "may", "will", "seeks" or "should" or, in each case, their negative or other variations or
comparable terminology or in relation to discussions of strategy, plans, objectives, goals, future events or intentions.
Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts, including statements about the Republic's beliefs and
expectations. These statements are based on current plans, estimates and projections and, therefore, undue reliance should not
be placed on them. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Although the Republic believes that
beliefs and expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, no assurance can be given that such
beliefs and expectations will prove to have been correct.
Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. A number of important factors could cause actual results
to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. The information contained in this Prospectus
identifies important factors that could cause such differences, including, but not limited, to the following:
· Adverse external factors, such as:
· changes in international commodity prices, particularly oil, or prevailing interest rates, which could
adversely affect Angola's balance of payments, external reserves and budgetary expenditures;
· changes in the monetary policy applicable to the members of the International Monetary Fund which
could affect inflation and/or growth rates;
· recession or low economic growth in Angola's trading partners or changes in the terms on which
international financial institutions provide financial assistance to Angola or fund new or existing projects,
which could decrease exports, adversely affect Angola's economy and, indirectly, reduce tax and other
public sector revenues, so adversely affecting Angola's budget;
· the impact of changes in the credit rating of Angola;
· civil strife, wars, insurrections, and terrorism; or
· adverse events in other emerging market countries, which could dampen foreign investment or adversely
affect the trading price of the Notes.
· Adverse domestic factors, such as:
· a decline in foreign direct investment, increases in domestic inflation, high domestic interest rates,
exchange rate volatility or an increase in the level of domestic and external debt, which could lead to
lower economic growth or a decrease in Angola's international reserves; or
· trade and political disputes between Angola and its trading partners and other political factors in Angola,
which could affect the timing and structure of economic reforms, the climate for foreign direct investment
and the pace, scale and timing of privatizations.
The sections of this Prospectus entitled "Risk Factors", "The Republic of Angola" and "The Economy" contain a more
complete discussion of the factors that could adversely affect the Republic. In light of these risks, uncertainties and
assumptions, the forward-looking events described in this Prospectus may not occur.
The Republic does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of
new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by law or applicable regulations. All subsequent
written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Republic or to persons acting on its behalf are expressly
qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements referred to above and contained elsewhere in this Prospectus.

PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL AND OTHER INFORMATION
Annual information presented in this Prospectus is based upon 1 January to 31 December periods (which is the fiscal year for
the Republic), unless otherwise indicated. Certain figures included in this Prospectus have been subject to rounding
adjustments; accordingly, figures shown for the same category presented in different tables may vary slightly and figures
shown as totals in certain tables may not be the sum of the figures which precede them.
Statistical Information
Statistical information reported herein has been derived from official publications of, and information supplied by, a number
of agencies and ministries of the Republic including by the Banco Nacional de Angola (the "BNA"), the Ministry of
Economy and Planning, the Ministry of Mineral Resources and Petroleum, the Ministry of Finance, Sociedade Nacional de
Combustiveis de Angola ("Sonangol") and the Angolan National Institute of Statistics. Some statistical information has also
been derived from information made publicly available by the International Monetary Fund (the "IMF"), the International
Bank for Reconstruction and Development (the "World Bank"), the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries
("OPEC") and other third parties. Where information has been so sourced, the source is stated where it appears in this
Prospectus. The Republic confirms that such information has been accurately reproduced and that, so far as it is aware, and is
able to ascertain from information published by such third parties, no facts have been omitted which would render the
reproduced information inaccurate or misleading. Similar statistics may be obtainable from other sources, but the date of
publication, underlying assumptions, methodology and, consequently, the resulting data may vary from source to source. In
addition, statistics and data produced by a ministry or an agency of the Republic may differ from similar statistics and data
produced by other agencies or ministries due to differing underlying assumptions or methodology. For example, the
Republic's official gross domestic product ("GDP") data presented in this Prospectus for 2016, 2017 and 2018 is produced
by the Ministry of Economy and Planning and the Republic's official GDP data for 2015 and prior years is produced by the
Angolan National Institute of Statistics, though the BNA from time to time includes GDP data in its publications that are
based on its own underlying assumptions and methodologies that differ from those used by the Ministry of Economy and
Planning. Certain historical statistical information contained herein is provisional or otherwise based on estimates that the
Republic and/or its agencies believe to be based on reasonable assumptions. Executed and approved statistical information
for the 2017 fiscal performance indicators presented in this Prospectus is expected to be approved once the 2019 National
Budget is approved. The Republic's official financial and economic statistics are subject to internal review as part of a
regular confirmation process. Accordingly, financial and economic information may be subsequently adjusted or revised and
such adjustments or revisions will not be reflected in this Prospectus. While the Republic does not expect revisions to be
material, no assurance can be given that material changes will not be made. See "Risk Factors Statistics published by
Angola and appearing in this Prospectus may be more limited in scope and published less frequently and differ from those
produced by other sources" and " Estimated and projected financial and statistical data may be based on imprecise or
incorrect assumptions and, along with historical financial statistical data, are subject to period review and revision".
The IMF's General Data Dissemination Standards
Angola participates in the IMF's General Data Dissemination System ("GDDS") which is designed to guide all member
countries in the provision of their economic and financial data to the public. Data covered includes the real, fiscal, financial
and the external sectors as well as socio-demographic data.
By participating in the GDDS, Angola has undertaken to:
· use the GDDS as a framework for statistical development;
· designate a country coordinator; and
· provide metadata to the IMF describing the current practices and plans for short- and long-term improvements in
these practices.
A summary of the methodology under which Angola prepares its metadata is found on the internet under the IMF's
Dissemination Standards Bulletin Board. Angola's metadata may be found on the IMF's website at
http://dsbb.imf.org/Pages/GDDS/CtyCtgList.aspx?ctycode=AGO. Information obtained from the above mentioned website is
not incorporated by reference in this Prospectus, and is therefore not part of this Prospectus.
Unless otherwise specified, all references in this Prospectus to (i) "Angolan Kwanza", "Kwanza" and "AOA" are to the
currency of the Republic, (ii) "U.S. dollars", "USD" and "U.S.$" are to the currency of the United States of America, and

ix

(iii) "euro", "Euro" "EUR" or "" are the currency introduced at the start of the third stage of European economic and
monetary union pursuant to the Treaty establishing the European Community, as amended.

The BNA's end of period foreign exchange reference rate for U.S. dollars on 6 April 2018 was AOA 218.249 = U.S.$1.00
and the BNA's end of period foreign exchange reference rate for euro on 6 April 2018 was AOA 267.094 = 1.00.
All references in this Prospectus to GDP are to nominal GDP, unless otherwise stated. Nominal GDP figures are based on
current prices. All references in this Prospectus to GDP growth are to real GDP growth, unless otherwise stated. Real GDP
and expenditure numbers relating to the Republic in this Prospectus are based on 2002 constant prices.
The Republic's GDP for any given year in this Prospectus is calculated at market prices which includes indirect taxes on
products. Sectoral contribution to GDP, whether expressed as percentage contribution to GDP of a sector of the economy or
real GDP growth of such sector, is calculated at factor cost which excludes indirect taxes on products, unless otherwise
stated. Comparison of statistical information calculated in accordance with different methodologies may not be possible.
The language of this Prospectus is English. Certain legislative references and technical terms have been cited in their original
language in order that the correct technical meaning may be ascribed to them under applicable law.
