Federative Republic of Brazil Launches Offer to Purchase

BRASÍLIA, Brazil, Oct. 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The Federative Republic of Brazil ("Brazil") announced today that it has commenced an offer to purchase for cash (the "Offer") any and all of its outstanding bonds of the series set forth in the table below (collectively, the "Old Bonds" and each, a "series" of Old Bonds) in an aggregate principal amount for each Series of Old Bonds that will not result in an aggregate Purchase Price for such series that exceeds an amount determined by Brazil in its sole discretion (the "Maximum Purchase Amount").  The Offer is made subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Offer to Purchase, dated October 3, 2017 (the "Offer to Purchase"), including the pricing, but not the closing, of the issue of Brazil's Global Bonds due 2028 (the "New Bonds", and the offering of such New Bonds, the "New Bond Offering") in an amount and on terms and conditions acceptable to Brazil, which is expected to occur today.  Brazil expects to use a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the New Bonds to (i) purchase the Old Bonds from the Billing and Delivering Bank pursuant to the Offer, and (ii) redeem part or all of its outstanding 5.875% Global Notes due March 2019. All capitalized terms used but not defined under the heading "Offer" in this communication have the respective meanings specified in the Offer to Purchase.

The Tender Offer will commence at or around 7:15 a.m. on Tuesday, October 3, 2017. Unless extended or earlier terminated, the Offer to Purchase expires at (i) 12:00 noon, New York time, that same day for Non-Preferred Tenders (as defined below) (the "Non-Preferred Tender Period"), and (ii) 4:00 p.m., New York time, that same day for Preferred Tenders (as defined below) (the "Preferred Tender Period").  

Brazil expects to announce the Maximum Purchase Amount for each series, the aggregate principal amount of Preferred and Non-Preferred Tenders of each series of the Old Bonds that have been accepted and whether any proration has occurred at or around 9:00 a.m. New York City time on Wednesday, October 4, 2017.  The settlement of the Offer is scheduled to occur on Tuesday, October 10, 2017 (the "Offer Settlement Date") and is subject to change without notice.

The purchase price for the Fixed Price Old Bonds (as defined below) that are accepted pursuant to the Offer will be the fixed price identified for the Fixed Price Old Bonds set forth in the table below.  Holders of the Fixed Price Old Bonds will also receive an amount in cash equal to any accrued and unpaid interest on their Fixed Price Old Bonds up to (but excluding) the Offer Settlement Date.  The Purchase Price for Old Bonds other than the Fixed Price of each series that are tendered and accepted pursuant to the Offer will be determined, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Offer to Purchase, based on (i) the U.S. Treasury Rate (as defined herein) for such series, which is a yield to maturity based on the price of the Reference U.S. Treasury Security identified for such series in the table below and (ii) the Fixed Spread for such series set forth in the table below.  Holders of Old Bonds other than the Fixed Price Old Bonds participating in the Offer will also receive an amount in cash equal to any accrued and unpaid interest on their Old Bonds up to (but excluding) the Settlement Date.  Brazil will announce the price to be paid for each series of Old Bonds at or around 4:30 p.m., New York City time, on Tuesday, October 3, 2017 or as soon as possible thereafter. 

Table 1: Fixed Price Old Bonds

Table 2: Old Bonds other than the Fixed Price Old Bonds

A holder of Old Bonds may place orders to tender Old Bonds ("Tender Orders") only through any of Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Itau BBA USA Securities, Inc. or Santander Investment Securities Inc. (each a "Dealer Manager" and collectively, the "Dealer Managers").  If a holder does not have an account with a Dealer Manager, and desires to tender its Old Bonds, it may do so through a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, other financial institution or other custodian, that has an account with a Dealer Manager.  Holders will NOT be able to submit tenders through Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., Clearstream Banking, société anonyme or the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") system.  Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. as the billing and delivering bank for the Offer (in such capacity, the "Billing and Delivering Bank") will consolidate all Tender Orders and accept Old Bonds for purchase pursuant to the terms and conditions in the Offer to Purchase on behalf of Brazil, subject to proration as described in the Offer to Purchase, at or around 9:00 a.m., New York time, on Wednesday, October 4, 2017 or as soon as possible thereafter.  Failure to deliver Old Bonds on time may result, in Brazil's sole discretion, in any of the following: (i) the cancellation of your tender and your becoming liable for any damages resulting from that failure, and/or (ii) the delivery of a buy-in notice for the purchase of such Old Bonds, executed in accordance with customary brokerage practices for corporate fixed income securities, and/or (iii) in the case of Preferred Tenders, your continuing to be obligated to purchase your allocation of New Bonds in respect of your related Indication of Interest (and to be liable for any breach of that obligation), notwithstanding the fact that your tender may be cancelled.  Brazil may subject each series of Old Bonds to different amounts of proration in its sole discretion. 

To the extent proration occurs, with respect to any series of Old Bonds, the Billing and Delivering Bank will accept Old Bonds of such series with appropriate adjustments to avoid purchase of Old Bonds in principal amounts other than Permitted Tender Amounts.  Each holder submitting an Indication of Interest and tendering Old Bonds of any series shall be deemed to represent to Brazil, the Dealer Managers and the Billing and Delivering Bank that such holder held, from the time of its submission of its Tender Order through the expiration of the Non-Preferred Tender Period or Preferred Tender Period, as applicable, at least the amount of Old Bonds of each such series as are being tendered.

All Old Bonds that are tendered pursuant to Tender Orders and are accepted by Brazil will be purchased by the Billing and Delivering Bank on behalf of Brazil.  Only the Billing and Delivering Bank will be liable for the payment of the Purchase Price and amount in cash equal to any accrued and unpaid interest for Old Bonds validly tendered and accepted as instructed by Brazil.  Brazil will not be liable under any circumstances for the payment of the Purchase Price and amount in cash equal to any accrued and unpaid interest for any Old Bonds tendered in the Tender Offer by any holder. 

There is no letter of transmittal for the Offer.  Old Bonds held through DTC must be delivered for settlement no later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Offer Settlement Date.  If a holder holds Old Bonds through Euroclear or Clearstream, the latest process it can use to deliver its Old Bonds is the overnight process, one day prior to the Settlement Date; holders may not use the optional daylight process.  Holders will not have withdrawal rights with respect to any tenders of Old Bonds in the Offer.  Old Bonds accepted for purchase will be settled on a delivery versus payment basis in accordance with customary brokerage practices for corporate fixed income securities.

Brazil may, but is not required to, issue and sell New Bonds to holders who validly tender their Old Bonds pursuant to the Offer and place firm orders for New Bonds during the Preferred Tender Period (as well as investors that are not participating in the Offer).  If Brazil determines to issue and sell New Bonds to such holders, such issuance and sale is expected to occur on Friday, October 13, 2017, the scheduled settlement date of the New Bonds (the "Offering Settlement Date").  Any New Bonds issued to tendering holders in the Offer as described above will be consolidated and form a single series with, and be fully fungible with, the other New Bonds of the same series, to be issued and sold pursuant to the offering of New Bonds on the Offering Settlement Date.

The Offer is subject to Brazil's right, at its sole discretion and subject to applicable law, to extend, terminate, withdraw, or amend the Offer at any time.  Each of the Dealer Managers and Brazil reserves the right, in the sole discretion of each of them, not to accept tenders for any reason.

The distribution of materials relating to the New Bonds Offering and the Tender Offer and the transactions contemplated by the New Bonds Offering and the Tender Offer may be restricted by law in certain jurisdictions.  Each of the New Bonds Offering and the Tender Offer is void in all jurisdictions where it is prohibited.  If materials relating to the New Bonds Offering or the Tender Offer come into your possession, you are required by Brazil to inform yourself of and to observe all of these restrictions.  The materials relating to the New Bonds Offering or the Tender Offer, including this communication, do not constitute, and may not be used in connection with, an offer or solicitation in any place where offers or solicitations are not permitted by law.  If a jurisdiction requires that the New Bonds Offering or the Tender Offer be made by a licensed broker or dealer and a Dealer Manager or any affiliate of a Dealer Manager is a licensed broker or dealer in that jurisdiction, the New Bonds Offering or the Tender Offer, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be made by the Dealer Manager or such affiliate on behalf of Brazil in that jurisdiction.  Owners who may lawfully participate in the Tender Offer in accordance with the terms thereof are referred to as "holders."

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities nor will there be any sale of these securities in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or other jurisdiction.  The offering of these securities will be made only by means of the preliminary prospectus and the accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus.

In Belgium, the New Bonds Offering and the Tender Offer are not directly or indirectly, being made to, or for the account of, any person other than to qualified investors (gekwalificeerde beleggers/investisseurs qualifiés) within the meaning of Article 10, §1 of the Belgian Law of June 16, 2006 on the public offering of investment instruments and the admission of investment instruments to trading on a regulated market (Wet op de openbare aanbieding van beleggingsinstrumenten en de toelating van beleggingsinstrumenten tot de verhandeling op een gereglementeerde markt/Loi relative aux offres publiques d'instruments de placement et aux admissions d'instruments de placement à la négociation sur des marchés réglementés), as amended or replaced from time to time (Belgian Qualified Investor), that do not qualify as consumers (consumenten/consommateurs) within the meaning of Article I.1, 2° of the Belgian Code of Economic Law of February 28, 2013 (Wetboek van economisch recht/Code de droit économique), as amended or replaced from time to time (Consumers). A Consumer within the meaning of Article I.1, 2° of the Belgian Code of Economic Law is any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside their trade, business, craft or profession.

Belgian Qualified Investors are professional clients and eligible counterparties as referred to in Annex A and Article 3, § 1 of the Belgian Royal Decree of June 3, 2007 containing detailed rules implementing the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive ("MiFID") and the Commission Directive 2006/73/EC implementing MiFID as regards organizational requirements and operating conditions for investment firms and defined terms for the purposes of that Directive (Koninklijk besluit tot bepaling van nadere regels tot omzetting van de richtlijn betreffende markten voor financiële instrumenten/Arrêté royal portant les règles et modalités visant à transposer la directive concernant les marchés d'instruments financiers), as amended or replaced from time to time.

As a result, the New Bonds Offering and the Tender Offer do not constitute a public takeover bid pursuant to Articles 3, §1, 1° and 6, § 1 of the Belgian law of April 1, 2007 on public takeover bids (Wet op de openbare overnamebiedingen/Loi relative aux offres publiques d'acquisition), as amended or replaced from time to time.

Consequently, the New Bonds Offering and the Tender Offer and any material relating thereto have not been and will not be, notified or submitted to, nor approved by the Belgian Financial Services and Markets Authority (Autoriteit voor Financiële Diensten en Markten/Autorité des Services et Marchés Financiers) pursuant to the Belgian laws and regulations applicable to the public offering or tendering of securities.

The New Bonds Offering and the Tender Offer as well as any materials relating thereto may not be advertised, nor distributed, directly or indirectly, to any person in Belgium other than Belgian Qualified Investors acting for their own account who are not Consumers, and may not be used in connection with any offering in Belgium except as may otherwise be permitted by law.

The New Bonds Offering cannot be considered to be a regulated investment service such as investment advice as listed under Annex I to the European Directive 2004/39/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 April 2004 on MiFID, as amended or replaced from time to time.

The New Bonds and the Old Bonds will not be registered under Law 18,045, as amended, of Chile with the SVS and, accordingly, the New Bonds and the Old Bonds cannot and will not be offered or sold to persons in Chile except in circumstances which have not resulted and will not result in a public offering under Chilean law, and in compliance with Norma de Carácter General (Rule) No. 336, dated June 27, 2012, issued by the Superintendencia de Valores y Seguros de Chile (Superintendency of Securities and Insurance of Chile).

In relation to each member state of the European Economic Area which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a "Relevant Member State"), no offer to the public of the New Bonds may be made in that Relevant Member State other than under the following exemptions under the Prospectus Directive, if they have been implemented in that Relevant Member State:

1. to any legal entity which is a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Directive;
2. to fewer than 150 natural or legal persons (other than qualified investors as defined in the Prospectus Directive) per Relevant Member State, subject to obtaining the prior consent of the Dealer Managers for any such offer; or
3. in any other circumstances falling within Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive,

provided that no such offer of the New Bonds shall result in a requirement to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive or a prospectus supplement pursuant to Article 16 of the Prospectus Directive.

For the purposes of this provision, the expression "offer to the public of the New Bonds" in relation to any New Bonds in any Relevant Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the New Bonds to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe the New Bonds, as the same may be varied in that Relevant Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Relevant Member State; the expression "Prospectus Directive" means Directive 2003/71/EC (as amended, including by Directive 2010/73/EU), and includes any relevant implementing measure in the Relevant Member State.

The Tender Offer is made in Germany to existing holders of the Old Bonds only.

The prospectus supplement does not constitute a Prospectus Directive-compliant prospectus in accordance with the German Securities Prospectus Act (Wertpapierprospektgesetz) and does therefore not allow any public offering in the Federal Republic of Germany ("Germany") or any other member state of the European Economic Area which has implemented the Prospectus Directive pursuant to § 17 and § 18 of the German Securities Prospectus Act. No action has been or will be taken in the Federal Republic of Germany that would permit a public offering of the New Bonds, or distribution of a prospectus, a prospectus supplement or any other offering material relating to the New Bonds and that, in particular, no securities prospectus (Wertpapierprospekt) within the meaning of the German Securities Prospectus Act or any other applicable laws of Germany has been or will be published within the Federal Republic of Germany, nor has the prospectus supplement been filed with or approved by the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht) for publication within the Federal Republic of Germany. Accordingly, any offer or sale of the New Bonds or any distribution of offering material within the Federal Republic of Germany may violate the provisions of the German Securities Prospectus Act.

There has been no offer, sale or delivery and there will be no offer, sale or delivery of any bonds in Germany other than in accordance with provisions of the German Securities Prospectus Act; and any offering material relating to the New Bonds will be distributed in the Federal Republic of Germany only under circumstances that will result in compliance with the applicable rules and regulations of the Federal Republic of Germany. The prospectus supplement is strictly for use of the person who has received it. It may not be forwarded to other persons or published in Germany.

The New Bonds have not been offered or sold and will not be offered or sold in Hong Kong by means of any document other than (a) in circumstances which do not constitute an offer to the public within the meaning of the Companies (Winding Up and Miscellaneous Provisions) Ordinance (Cap. 32, Laws of Hong Kong) (the "CWUMPO"), or (b) to "professional investors" as defined in the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571, Laws of Hong Kong) (the "SFO") and any rules made thereunder, or (c) in other circumstances which do not result in the document being a "prospectus" as defined in the CWUMPO.

No advertisement, invitation or document relating to the New Bonds has been or will be issued, or has been or will be in the possession of any person for the purpose of issue (in each case whether in Hong Kong or elsewhere), which is directed at, or the contents of which are likely to be accessed or read by, the public in Hong Kong (except if permitted to do so under the securities laws of Hong Kong) other than with respect to the New Bonds which are or are intended to be disposed of only to persons outside Hong Kong or only to "professional investors" as defined in the SFO and any rules made thereunder.

In Luxembourg, this announcement has been prepared on the basis that the offer of the New Bonds, the Tender Offer and the potential exchange offer will be made pursuant to an exemption under Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive from the requirement to produce a prospectus for offers of securities.
