ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT

This document consists of two parts. The first part is this prospectus supplement, which describes the specific terms of the Notes that PGF is offering and certain other matters relating to PGF and Petrobras and Petrobras's financial condition. The second part, the accompanying prospectus, gives more general information about securities that PGF and Petrobras may offer from time to time. Generally, references to the prospectus mean this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus combined. If 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 supplement and in any related free-writing prospectus we prepare or authorize. PGF 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 PGF 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 consolidated subsidiaries taken as a whole, and references to "PGF" mean Petrobras Global Finance B.V., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Petrobras. Terms such as "we," "us" and "our" generally refer to both Petrobras and PGF, unless the context requires otherwise or as otherwise indicated.

References herein to "reais" or "R$" are to the lawful currency of Brazil. References herein to "U.S. dollars" or "U.S.$" are to the lawful currency of the United States.

Prohibition of sales to EEA and UK retail investors - For the purposes of this Prospectus Supplement, all references to Regulations or Directives include, in relation to the UK, those Regulations or Directives as they form part of UK domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 or have been implemented in UK domestic law, as appropriate. 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 the European Economic Area ("EEA") or in the United Kingdom ("UK"). 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 (as amended, "MiFID II"); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended, the "Insurance Distribution Directive"), 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 Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (as amended, the "Prospectus Regulation"). Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA or in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA or in the UK may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

MiFID II product governance - Any distributor subject to MiFID II subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Notes and determining the appropriate distribution channels for the purposes of the MiFID II product governance rules under Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 ("Delegated Directive"). Neither the Issuer nor any of the underwriters make any representations or warranties as to a Distributor's compliance with the Delegated Directive.

SUMMARY

This summary highlights key information described in greater detail elsewhere, or incorporated by reference, in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. This summary is not complete and does not contain all of the information you should consider before investing in the Notes.

PGF

PGF is a wholly-owned finance subsidiary of Petrobras, incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands as a private company with limited liability (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) on August 2, 2012. PGF is an indirect subsidiary of Petrobras, and all of PGF's shares are held by Petrobras's Dutch subsidiary Petrobras International Braspetro B.V. PGF's business is to raise financing to fund the operations of companies within the Petrobras group, including by issuing debt securities in the international capital markets. PGF does not currently have any operations, revenues or assets other than those related to the issuance, administration and repayment of its debt securities. All debt securities issued by PGF are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Petrobras. PGF was incorporated for an indefinite period of time.

Petrobras uses PGF as its main vehicle to issue securities in the international capital markets. PGF's first offering of notes fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Petrobras occurred in September 2012. In December 2014, PGF assumed the obligations of Petrobras's former finance subsidiary Petrobras International Finance Company S.A. ("PifCo") under all then outstanding notes originally issued by PifCo, which continue to benefit from Petrobras's full and unconditional guaranty.

PGF's registered office is located at Weena 762, 9th floor, room A, 3014 DA Rotterdam, the Netherlands, and our telephone number is +31 (0) 10 206-7000.
