Calculation of Interest Amount:

 

 

For the purposes of the calculation of the Interest Amount payable for any Interest Period, there shall be no adjustment pursuant to the Business Day Convention.

As soon as practicable and in accordance with the procedure specified herein, the Calculation Agent will determine the Reference Rate (as defined below) and calculate the Interest Amount with respect to each minimum Authorized Denomination for the relevant Interest Period.

The Interest Amount with respect to any Interest Period shall be a USD amount calculated using the Reference Rate determined as of the relevant Rate Fixing Date (as defined below) as follows:

 

 

BRL 401 per minimum Authorized Denomination

     divided by

the Reference Rate

(and rounding, if necessary, the entire resulting figure to the nearest two decimal places, with USD 0.005 being rounded upwards).

"Brazil Business Day" means a day (other than a Saturday or a Sunday) on which banks and foreign exchange markets are open for business in Rio de Janeiro, Brasilia and São Paulo.

"PTAX Rate" means, in respect of a Rate Fixing Date, the closing BRL/USD offered rate for USD, expressed as the number of BRL per one USD, as reported by Banco Central do Brasil on its website (www.bcb.gov.br; see "Cotações e boletins"), or any succeeding rate source, by approximately 1:15 p.m. São Paulo time on such Rate Fixing Date and as published on Reuters Screen "BRLUSDPTAX= CBBR" Page (or such other page or services as may replace that page to be used for the purpose of obtaining the reference rate), provided that in the event of any inconsistency between such rate on Banco Central do Brasil's website and such rate on Reuters Screen "BRLUSDPTAX= CBBR" Page, the closing BRL/USD offered rate published on Banco Central do Brasil's website shall prevail.

"Rate Fixing Date" for any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date or date on which an amount is payable means the fifth Valuation Business Day prior to such date.

"Reference Rate" means, in respect of a Rate Fixing Date:

(a) the PTAX Rate; or

(b) in the event that the PTAX Rate is not available or an Exchange Rate Divergence has occurred and is continuing on the first Brazil Business Day following the relevant Rate Fixing Date, the Calculation Agent shall determine that a "Price Source Disruption" has occurred, and shall promptly inform the Bank, the Noteholders and the Global Agent of such occurrence.  For the purposes of obtaining a Reference Rate, the Applicable Disruption Fallbacks will apply.

"Valuation Business Day" means a day on which commercial banks are open for general business (including dealing in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits) in Rio de Janeiro, Brasilia, São Paulo and New York.

Applicable Disruption Fallbacks (in order of application):

1.  Valuation Postponement.  For purposes of obtaining a Reference Rate, the Reference Rate will be determined on the Valuation Business Day first succeeding the day on which the Price Source Disruption ceases to exist, unless the Price Source Disruption continues to exist (measured from the date, that, but for the occurrence of the Price Source Disruption, would have been the Rate Fixing Date) for a consecutive number of calendar days equal to the Maximum Days of Postponement.  In such event, the Reference Rate will be determined on the next Valuation Business Day after the Maximum Days of Postponement in accordance with the next Applicable Disruption Fallback.

2.  Calculation Agent Determination of the Reference Rate.  For purposes of obtaining a Reference Rate, the Calculation Agent will determine the Reference Rate (or a method for determining the Reference Rate) in its sole discretion, acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the total number of consecutive calendar days during which either (i) valuation is deferred due to an Unscheduled Holiday, or (ii) a Valuation Postponement shall occur (or any combination of (i) and (ii)), exceed 30 consecutive calendar days in the aggregate.  Accordingly, (x) if, upon the lapse of any such 30 day period, an Unscheduled Holiday shall have occurred or be continuing on the day following such period, then such day shall be deemed to be a Rate Fixing Date, and (y) if, upon the lapse of any such 30 day period, a Price Source Disruption shall have occurred or be continuing on the day following such period, then the Valuation Postponement shall not apply and the Reference Rate shall be determined in accordance with the next Applicable Disruption Fallback (i.e., Calculation Agent Determination of the Reference Rate).

"EMTA BRL Exchange Rate Divergence Procedures" means the EMTA BRL Exchange Rate Divergence Procedures published by EMTA on January 22, 2018 (as amended from time to time).

"EMTA BRL Report Event" means that EMTA (EMTA, Inc., formerly the Emerging Markets Trading Association, Inc.) has provided notice to the EMTA membership, that, in the reasonable and independent judgement, as notified to EMTA in accordance with the EMTA BRL Exchange Rate Divergence Procedures, of not less than 7 unaffiliated EMTA members that are recognized market makers active in the BRL/USD foreign exchange market (no less than 4 of which shall be active participants in the onshore BRL/USD spot market), the PTAX  Rate (following a split of the exchange rates in Brazil or otherwise) no longer reflects the then-prevailing BRL/USD spot rate for standard-size wholesale financial transactions involving the exchange of BRL for USD delivered outside of Brazil.

"Exchange Rate Divergence" means that an EMTA BRL Report Event has occurred with respect to the PTAX Rate. 

"Maximum Days of Postponement" means 30 calendar days.

"Unscheduled Holiday" means a day that is not a Valuation Business Day and the market was not aware of such fact (by means of a public announcement or by reference to other publicly available information) until a time later than 9:00 a.m. local time in São Paulo two Valuation Business Days prior to the relevant Rate Fixing Date.

(and rounding, if necessary, the entire resulting figure to the nearest 2 decimal places, with USD 0.005 being rounded upwards).

General Information

Additional Information Regarding the Notes

            1.         Matters relating to UK MiFIR

            The Bank does not fall under the scope of application of the UK MiFIR regime.  Consequently, the Bank does not qualify as an "investment firm", "manufacturer" or "distributor" for the purposes of UK MiFIR

UK MiFIR product governance / Retail investors, professional investors and ECPs target market - Solely for the purposes of the UK 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 retail clients, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA, eligible counterparties, as defined in COBS, and professional clients, as defined in UK MiFIR; and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Notes are appropriate.  Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a "distributor") should take into consideration the UK manufacturer's target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to the UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the UK manufacturer's target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.

 

            For the purposes of this provision, (i) the expression "UK manufacturer" means the Dealer, (ii) the expression "COBS" means the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook, (iii) the expression "UK MiFIR" means Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA and (iv) the expression "UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules" means the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook.

            2.         Additional Investment Considerations:

            There are significant risks associated with the Notes, including but not limited to exchange rate risk, price risk and liquidity risk.  Investors should consult their own financial, legal, accounting and tax advisors about the risks associated with an investment in these Notes, the appropriate tools to analyze that investment, and the suitability of the investment in each investor's particular circumstances.

            Payment of each Interest Amount and the Redemption Amount will be based on the Reference Rate, which is a measure of the rate of exchange between the BRL and the USD. Currency exchange rates are volatile and will affect the holder's return. In addition, the government of Brazil can from time to time intervene in the foreign exchange market.  These interventions or other governmental actions could adversely affect the value of the Notes, as well as the yield (in USD terms) on the Notes and the amount payable at maturity or upon acceleration.  Even in the absence of governmental action directly affecting currency exchange rates, political or economic developments in Brazil or elsewhere could lead to significant and sudden changes in the exchange rate between the BRL and the USD.

            The methodologies for determining the Reference Rate may result in a Redemption Amount (or Early Redemption Amount, as the case may be) of the Notes, or an Interest Amount on the Notes, being significantly less than anticipated or less than what an alternative methodology for determining the Reference Rate would yield.

            The Bank may hedge its obligations under the Notes by entering into a swap transaction with an affiliate of the Dealer as swap counterparty.  Assuming no change in market conditions or any other relevant factors, the price, if any, at which the Dealer or another purchaser might be willing to purchase Notes in a secondary market transaction is expected to be lower, and could be substantially lower, than the original issue price of the Notes.  This is due to a number of factors, including that (i) the potential profit to the secondary market purchaser of the Notes may be incorporated into any offered price and (ii) the cost of funding used to value the Notes in the secondary market is expected to be higher than our actual cost of funding incurred in connection with the issuance of the Notes.  In addition, the original issue price of the Notes included, and secondary market prices are likely to exclude, the projected profit that our swap counterparty or its affiliates may realize in connection with this swap.  Further, as a result of dealer discounts, mark-ups or other transaction costs, any of which may be significant, the original issue price may differ from values determined by pricing models used by our swap counterparty or other potential purchasers of the Notes in secondary market transactions.

            The Notes offered by this Pricing Supplement are complex financial instruments and may not be suitable for certain investors. Investors intending to purchase the Notes should consult with their tax and financial advisors to ensure that the intended purchase meets the investment objective before making such purchase.

            3.         United States Federal Income Tax Matters:

            The following supplements the discussion under the "Tax Matters" section of the Prospectus regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Notes, and is subject to the limitations and exceptions set forth therein.  Any tax disclosure in the Prospectus or this pricing supplement is of a general nature only, is not exhaustive of all possible tax considerations and is not intended to be, and should not be construed to be, legal, business or tax advice to any particular prospective investor.  Each prospective investor should consult its own tax advisor as to the particular tax consequences to it of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of the Notes, including the effects of applicable U.S. federal, state, and local tax laws and non-U.S. tax laws and possible changes in tax laws.

            Because the Notes are denominated in the Brazilian Real, a United States holder of the Notes will generally be subject to special United States federal income tax rules governing foreign currency transactions, as described in the Prospectus in the last four paragraphs of "-Payments of Interest" under the "United States Holders" section.  Pursuant to such rules, a United States holder should determine amounts received with respect to a Note (including principal and interest) by reference to the U.S. dollar value of the Brazilian Real amount of the payment, calculated at the currency exchange rate in effect on the date of payment.  The U.S. dollar amount that is actually received by the United States holder may differ from the amount determined under the preceding sentence, since the U.S. dollar amount of the payment will be determined by reference to the Reference Rate as of the relevant Rate Fixing Date.  Accordingly, a United States holder of the Notes may recognize United States source foreign currency gain or loss in an amount equal to such difference (in addition to any foreign currency gain or loss otherwise recognized upon the receipt of an interest payment or a sale or retirement of the Notes).  The U.S. Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") could take the position, however, that the amounts received by a United States holder in respect of a Note should be equal to the U.S. dollar amount that is actually received by the United States holder. Prospective United States holders of the Notes should consult their tax advisors regarding these rules.
