the information in this prospectus supplement differs from the information in the accompanying prospectus, the information in this prospectus supplement supersedes the
information in the accompanying prospectus.
We are responsible for the information contained and incorporated by reference in this prospectus and in any related free-writing prospectus we prepare or authorize.
PifCo and Petrobras have not authorized anyone to give you any other information, and we take no responsibility for any other information that others may give you.
Neither PifCo nor Petrobras is making an offer to sell the notes in any jurisdiction where the offer is not permitted. You should not assume that the information in this
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.
In this prospectus supplement, unless the context otherwise requires or as otherwise indicated, references to "Petrobras" mean Petróleo Brasileiro S.A.-Petrobras and its

otherwise indicated.
