Insights

Credit and capital structure analyst

Petrobras uses cash on hand to retire a US$ 344 million high-coupon bond early.

Petrobras, via Petrobras Global Finance B.V., is redeeming US$ 344,167,000 of 8.750% Global Notes due 2026 on December 29, 2025. These notes carry a relatively high 8.750% coupon, so removing them from the capital structure reduces future interest obligations on that principal amount.

The redemption price is set as the greater of 100% of principal or a make-whole amount, calculated as the present value of remaining principal and interest payments discounted at the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, plus accrued interest from November 23, 2025 to the redemption date. This structure compensates bondholders for early repayment and can result in a premium over par depending on the applicable Treasury Rate.

Payment flows through The Bank of New York Mellon as trustee and then The Depositary Trust Company, and Petrobras states that PGF intends to fund the redemption with available cash on hand. On completion, the notes and Petrobras’s guaranty will be cancelled, extinguishing the related obligations and slightly simplifying the company’s debt profile.
