SUMMARY

This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. It is not complete and may not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in the global bonds. You should read this entire prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus carefully.

The Issuer

Overview

Brazil is the fifth largest country in the world and occupies nearly half the land area of South America. Brazil shares a border with every country in South America except Chile and Ecuador. The capital of Brazil is Brasília, and the official language is Portuguese. On July 1, 2018, Brazil’s estimated population was approximately 208.5 million.

Brazil is a federative republic with broad powers granted to the Federal Government. Brazil is officially divided into five regions consisting of 26 states and the Federal District, where Brasília is located.

Government

The federal Constitution provides for three independent branches of government: an executive branch headed by the president; a legislative branch consisting of the bicameral National Congress; and a judicial branch consisting of the Federal Supreme Court and lower federal and state courts.

Under the Constitution, the president is elected by direct vote for a four-year term and is eligible to be reelected for a second four-year term. The president’s powers include the right to appoint ministers and key executives in selected administrative posts. On October 28, 2018, Jair Messias Bolsonaro, the candidate of the conservative political partyPartido Social Liberal(“PSL”) was elected President of the Republic.

The legislative branch of government consists of a bicameral National Congress composed of the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies. The Senate has 81 senators, who are elected for staggered eight-year terms, and the Chamber of Deputies has 513 deputies, who are elected for concurrent four-year terms. Each state and the Federal District is entitled to elect three senators. The number of federal deputies is based on a proportional representation system weighted in favor of the less-populated states, which assures the smaller states an important role in the National Congress as the population increases in the larger states. During the last general election, which took place in October 2018, 513 deputies and 54 of 81 senators were elected. These officials took office on February 1, 2019.

Judicial power is exercised by the Federal Supreme Court (composed of 11 Justices), the Superior Court of Justice (composed of 33 Justices), the federal regional appellate courts, military courts, labor courts, electoral courts and the several lower federal courts and state courts, comprising both appellate courts and courts of first instance. The Federal Supreme Court, whose members are appointed by the president for life (with mandatory retirement at 75 years of age), has ultimate appellate jurisdiction over decisions rendered by lower federal and state courts on constitutional matters.

S-7

RISK FACTORS

This section describes certain risks associated with investing in the global bonds. You should consult your financial and legal advisors about the risk of investing in the global bonds. Brazil disclaims any responsibility for advising you on these matters.

The information in this section is directed to investors who are U.S. residents and does not address risks for investors who are not U.S. residents. We disclaim any responsibility to advise prospective purchasers who are residents of countries other than the United States with respect to any matters that may affect the purchase, holding or receipt of payments of the global bonds. If you are not a U.S. resident, you should consult your own financial and legal advisors.

Risk Factors Relating to Brazil

Brazil’s economy is vulnerable to external shocks and to more general “contagion” effects, each of which could have a material adverse effect on Brazil’s economic growth and its ability to raise funding in the external debt markets in the future.

Emerging market investment generally poses a degree of risk because the economies in the developing world are susceptible to destabilization resulting from domestic and international developments.

Brazil’s economy is vulnerable to external shocks, including adverse economic and financial developments in other countries and market developments. A significant increase in interest rates in the international financial markets may adversely affect the liquidity of, and trading markets for, the global bonds. In addition, a significant drop in the price of commodities produced in Brazil, such as iron ore, oil, soybeans, sugar and corn, could adversely affect the Brazilian economy. A significant decline in the economic growth or demand for imports of any of Brazil’s major trading partners, such as China, the European Union, or the United States, could have a material adverse impact on Brazil’s exports and balance of trade and adversely affect Brazil’s economic growth.

In addition, because international investors’ reactions to the events occurring in one emerging market country sometimes produce a “contagion” effect, in which an entire region or class of investment is disfavored by international investors, Brazil could be adversely affected by negative economic or financial developments in other countries. Brazil has been adversely affected by such contagion effects on a number of occasions, including the 1997 Asian financial crisis, the 1998 Russian financial crisis, the 2001 Argentine financial crisis and the 2008 global economic crisis. Similar developments may affect the Brazilian economy in the future.

We cannot assure you that any developments like those described above will not negatively affect investor confidence in mature market economies, emerging markets or the economies of the principal countries in Latin America, including Brazil. In addition, we cannot assure you that these events will not adversely affect Brazil’s economy and its ability to raise funding in the external debt markets in the future. See“Forward-Looking Statements” in this prospectus supplement.

Brazil’s economy is vulnerable to a number of internal risks, each of which could have a material adverse effect on Brazil’s economic growth and on the liquidity of, and trading markets for, the bonds.

Brazil’s economy, and therefore its government finances, are subject to risks arising from internal developments in Brazil. These include general economic and business conditions in Brazil, the level of consumer demand, the level of confidence that domestic consumers and foreign investors have in the economic and political conditions in Brazil, present and future exchange rates of the Brazilian currency, the level of domestic debt, domestic inflation, the ability of Brazil to generate a primary budget surplus and advance fiscal and structural reforms, the level of foreign direct and portfolio investment, the level of domestic interest rates, the degree of political uncertainty at the federal and state level in Brazil, and ongoing investigations into corruption (including the investigation referred to as “Lava Jato”) and their impact on political and economic conditions in the country.

S-8

Any of these factors or similar events or developments may adversely affect the liquidity of, and trading markets for, the global bonds.

Adverse changes in Brazil’s credit rating could adversely affect the liquidity of and demand for Brazil’s debt securities and Brazil’s access to the international financial markets.

Moody’s Credit Ratings, Standard & Poor’s and Fitch have each rated Brazil’slong-term foreign and local-currency debtsub-investment grade. Brazil’s ratings or outlooks may be downgraded further or placed on watch by Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s and Fitch or any other rating agency in the future, potentially affecting the trading price for the bonds and the liquidity of and demand for Brazil’s debt securities in general. Downgrades could also adversely affect the cost of funding and terms on which Brazil is able to borrow in the international financial markets and may adversely affect Brazil’s access to the international financial markets.

The Brazilian economy has been in a recovery, but its growth rate is uncertain for the future. Reductions of the Brazilian economic growth rate could have a material adverse effect on public finances and on the market price of the global bonds.

In the fourth quarter of 2018, the GDP increased by 0.1% compared to the third quarter of 2018. This was the eighth positive quarterly result after eleven consecutive negative quarterly results on a quarter-to-quarter basis. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2017, the GDP increased by 1.1% in the fourth quarter of 2018 measured on a cumulative 12-month basis. 2019 Budget Assumptions point to a GDP growth of 2.5% in 2019, consistent with the outlook of a gradual recovery of the economic activity.

However, Brazil cannot assure investors that its economy will continue to grow in the future. Brazil’s economic growth depends on a variety of factors, including, among others, international demand and prices for Brazilian exports, climatic factors affecting Brazil’s agricultural sector, fiscal and monetary policies, confidence among Brazilian consumers and foreign and domestic investors and their rates of investment in Brazil, the willingness and ability of businesses to engage in new capital spending, the exchange rate and the rate of inflation. Some of these factors are outside Brazil’s control. A sustained or deepened recession could result in a material decrease in Brazil’s fiscal revenues, or a significant depreciation of thereal over an extended period of time could adversely affect Brazil’s debt/GDP ratio, which could in turn materially and adversely affect the market price of the global bonds and the ability of Brazil to service its public debt, particularly its debt obligations denominated in foreign currencies, including the global bonds.

An increase in inflation and government measures to curb inflation may adversely affect the Brazilian economy.

Brazil’s economy has experienced high levels of inflation in the past and may experience high levels in the future. Periods of rapid economic expansion and contraction in Brazil have resulted in volatile rates of inflation. In the future, significant inflation may cause Brazil to impose controls on credit or prices, or to take other action, which could inhibit Brazil’s economic growth. In addition, inflation can result in greater market volatility by causing economic uncertainties and reduced consumption, GDP growth and consumer confidence. Inflation, measures to combat inflation and public speculation about possible additional actions have also contributed to economic uncertainty in Brazil in the past and could produce uncertainty in the future. Any of these factors can have a material adverse effect on Brazil’s results of operations and financial condition.

S-9

The ongoing investigations into corruption, including Lava Jato, and political developments may lead to political instability and a decline in confidence by consumers and foreign investors in the stability and transparency of the Brazilian government, and may have a material adverse effect on Brazil’s economy, demand for Brazil’s debt securities and Brazil’s access to international financial markets.

Lava Jato and other investigations into corruption may lead to further allegations and charges against Brazilian federal and state government officials and senior management of Brazilian industry. Numerous elected officials, public servants and executives and other personnel of major companies have been subject to investigation, arrest, criminal charges and other proceedings.

There can be no assurance that other federal or state officials or senior management of Brazilian industry will not be charged withcorruption-related crimes in the Lava Jato or other investigations into corruption. Additional allegations, trials and convictions may lead to political instability and a decline in confidence by consumers and foreign direct investors in the stability and transparency of the Brazilian government, and may have a material adverse effect on Brazil’s economic growth, on the demand for Brazil’s debt securities, including the global bonds, and on Brazil’s access to the international financial markets.

Risk Factors Relating to the Global Bonds

Brazil is a foreign state and accordingly it may be difficult to obtain or enforce judgments or arbitral awards against it.

Brazil has agreed to arbitrate in New York, New York any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the indenture, the global bonds or any coupon appertaining thereto. As a result, an arbitration proceeding in New York, New York is the exclusive forum in which a holder may assert a claim against Brazil, unless the holder elects to bring a claim in a competent court in Brazil against Brazil only, as may be permitted by the terms of the global bonds. Brazil is a foreign state and has not waived any immunity or submitted to the jurisdiction of any court outside Brazil. In addition, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process upon Brazil within their own jurisdiction, obtain jurisdiction over Brazil in their own jurisdiction or enforce against Brazil judgments or arbitral awards obtained in their own jurisdiction. See “Arbitration and Enforceability” in the accompanying prospectus.

The price at which the global bonds will trade in the secondary market is uncertain.

Brazil has been advised by the underwriters that they intend to make a market in the global bonds but are not obligated to do so and may discontinue market making at any time without notice. Application will be made to list the global bonds on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for trading on the Euro MTF Market. We cannot assure you as to the liquidity of the trading market for the global bonds. The price at which the global bonds will trade in the secondary market is uncertain.

The global bonds will contain provisions that permit Brazil to amend the payment terms without the consent of all holders.

The global bonds will contain provisions regarding acceleration and voting on future amendments, modifications, changes and waivers, which are commonly referred to as “collective action clauses.” Under these provisions, certain key provisions of the global bonds may be amended without your consent, including the maturity date, interest rate and other payment terms. See “Description of the Global Bonds—Default; Acceleration of Maturity” and “—Meetings and Amendments” in this prospectus supplement.

THE BRAZILIAN ECONOMY

Gross Domestic Product

In the fourth quarter of 2018, the GDP increased by 0.1% compared to the third quarter of 2018. This was the eighth positive quarterly result after eleven consecutive negative quarterly results on a quarter-to-quarter basis. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2017, the GDP increased by 1.1% in the fourth quarter of 2018 measured on a cumulative 12-month basis.

The 2018 GDP results were mainly influenced by the agriculture sector, which grew by 2.4% when compared to the fourth quarter of 2017, driven by the growth and productivity gain of coffee (29.4%), upland cotton (28.4%), wheat (25.1%) and soy (2.5%).

Prices

The IPCA increased from 0.32% registered in January 2019 to 0.43% in February 2019. With respect to the12-month period ended on February 28, 2019, the index increased 3.89% slightly above the rate of 3.78% registered in the 12 immediately previous months.

In March 2019, the Central Bank Monetary Policy Committee (Comitê de Política Monetária or “COPOM”) kept the Selic interest rate stable at 6.50% per annum. COPOM forecasts IPCA inflation of 3.9% in 2019 and 3.8% in 2020. This forecast assumes a path for the Selic interest rate that ends 2019 at 6.5% p.a. and increases to 7.75% p.a. over the course of 2020. It also assumes a path for the exchange rate that ends 2019 at R$/US$ 3.70, and 2020 at R$/US$ 3.75. In the scenario with a constant interest rate, at 6.5% p.a., and a constant exchange rate, at R$/US$ 3.85, the IPCA inflation projections for 2019 and 2020 stand around 4.1% and 4.0%, respectively.

For 2021, the CMN set the inflation target at 3.75% with a tolerance interval of plus or minus 1.5 percentage points.

It is understood that this provision shall not be construed so as to require Brazil to make payments under the global bonds ratably with payments being made under any other External Indebtedness of Brazil.

• be issued in fully registered form, without coupons, in minimum denominations of U.S.$200,000 and integral multiples of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof.

• be available in certificated form only under certain limited circumstances.

• not be entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.

S-23

The global bonds will contain provisions regarding acceleration and voting on amendments, modifications, changes and waivers, described in this prospectus supplement, that differ from those applicable to Brazil’s outstanding public external indebtedness issued prior to July 2, 2015. These provisions are commonly referred to as “collective action clauses.” Under these provisions, Brazil may amend the payment provisions of the global bonds and other reserve matters listed in the indenture with the consent of the holders of: (1) with respect to a single series of debt securities, more than 75% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding of such series; (2) with respect to two or more series of debt securities, if certain “uniformly applicable” requirements are met, more than 75% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of all series affected by the proposed modification, taken in the aggregate; or (3) with respect to two or more series of debt securities, whether or not certain “uniformly applicable” requirements are met, more than 66 2/3% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of all series affected by the proposed modification, taken in the aggregate, and more than 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each series affected by the proposed modification, taken individually. Those provisions are described in the sections entitled “—Default; Acceleration of Maturity” and “—Amendments and Waivers” in this prospectus supplement.

“External Indebtedness” means Indebtedness for money borrowed which is payable by its terms or at the option of its holder in any currency other than Brazilian currency (other than any such Indebtedness that is originally issued within Brazil).

Optional Redemption

Prior to February 28, 2029 (three months prior to the maturity date of the global bonds), Brazil will have the right at its option, upon giving not less than 30 days’ notice, to redeem the global bonds, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time prior to their maturity, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof, plus theMake-Whole Amount (as defined below), plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the global bonds to the date of redemption.“Make-Whole Amount” means the excess of (i) the sum of the present values of each remaining scheduled payment of principal and interest on the global bonds (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption), discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a360-day year consisting of twelve30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 35 basis points over (ii) the principal amount of such global bonds.

At any time on or after February 28, 2029 (three months prior to the maturity date of the global bonds), Brazil will have the right at its option, upon giving not less than 30 days’ nor more than 60 days’ notice, to redeem the global bonds prior to their maturity, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the global bonds to be redeemed, plus accrued and

S-24

unpaid interest and additional amounts, if any, on the principal amount of the global bonds to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to thesemi-annual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue (as defined below), assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date.

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security or securities selected by an Independent Investment Banker (as defined below) as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the global bonds to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of investment grade debt securities of a comparable maturity to the remaining term of such global bonds.

“Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers (as defined below) appointed by Brazil.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (i) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations (as defined below) for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation or (ii) if Brazil obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means J.P.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by Brazil, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to Brazil by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 pm New York time on the third business day preceding such redemption date.

Payment of Principal and Interest

As long as the global bonds are in the form of fully registeredbook-entry securities, registered in the name of DTC or a nominee of DTC, Brazil will make payments of principal and interest on the global bonds in U.S. dollars to DTC, which will receive the funds for distribution to the beneficial holders of the global bonds. Brazil expects that holders of the global bonds will be paid in accordance with the procedures of DTC and its direct and indirect participants. Neither Brazil nor the paying agent will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records of, or payments made by, DTC or its direct and indirect participants or any failure on the part of DTC or its direct and indirect participants in making payments to holders of the global bonds from the funds DTC receives.

If the global bonds are issued in certificated form and your name is listed as the registered holder of a global bond in the security register maintained by the trustee, Brazil will make its interest and principal payments to you by wire transfer if:

• you own at least U.S.$1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the global bonds;

• not less than 15 days before the payment date, you notify the trustee in writing of your election to receive payment by wire transfer and provide it with your bank account information and wire transfer instructions; and

S-25

• with respect to principal payments, you surrender the global bonds at the corporate trust office of the trustee or at the office outside the United States of the other paying agents that Brazil appoints pursuant to the indenture.

If Brazil does not pay interest by wire transfer as described above for any reason, it will, subject to applicable laws and regulations, mail a check to you on or before the due date for the payment at your address as it appears on the security register maintained by the trustee on the applicable record date.

If any date for an interest or principal payment is a day on which the law at the place of payment permits or requires banking institutions to close, Brazil will make the payment on the next banking day at such place. Brazil will treat such payments as if they were made on the due date, and no interest on the global bonds will accrue as a result of this delay in payment.

Subject to any relevant unclaimed property laws or regulations, if any money that Brazil pays to the trustee for the payment of principal of or interest on the global bonds is not claimed at the end of two years after the principal or interest was due and payable, the trustee will repay the money to Brazil. After any such repayment, the trustee will not be liable with respect to the payments. However, Brazil’s obligations to pay the principal of and interest on the global bonds as they become due will not be affected by such repayment. The global bonds will become void unless presented for payment within five years after the maturity date (or a shorter period if provided by applicable law).

Default; Acceleration of Maturity

Any of the following events will be an event of default with respect to the global bonds:

(a) a default by Brazil in any payment of principal of or interest on the global bonds which continues for 30 days after such payment was due;

(b) a default which is materially prejudicial to the interests of the holders of the global bonds in the performance of any other obligation under the global bonds, which continues for 60 days after the written notice requiring such default to be remedied is given by the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of global bonds then outstanding;

(c) an acceleration of in excess of U.S.$25,000,000 (or its equivalent in any other currency) in aggregate principal amount of Public External Indebtedness of Brazil by reason of an event of default (however described) arising from Brazil’s failure to make any payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest under that Public External Indebtedness when due;

(d) a failure of Brazil to make any payment in respect of Public External Indebtedness of Brazil in an aggregate principal amount in excess of U.S.$25,000,000 (or its equivalent in any other currency) when due (as such date may be extended by virtue of any applicable grace period or waiver), which continues for 30 days after written notice requiring such default to be remedied is given by the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of global bonds then outstanding;

(e) a declaration by Brazil of a moratorium with respect to the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, on or interest on Public External Indebtedness of Brazil which does not expressly exclude the global bonds and which is materially prejudicial to the interests of the holders of the global bonds; or

(f) a denial by Brazil of its obligations under the global bonds.

If any of the events of default described above occurs and is continuing, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the global bonds then outstanding may declare all the global bonds to

S-26

be due and payable immediately by giving written notice to Brazil, with a copy to the trustee, and the same shall become and shall be due and payable upon the date that such written notice is received by or on behalf of Brazil, unless prior to such date all events of default in respect of all the global bonds shall have been cured.

Holders holding global bonds representing in the aggregate more than 50% of the principal amount of thethen-outstanding global bonds, by written notice to Brazil and to the trustee, may waive any existing defaults and their consequences on behalf of the holders of all of the global bonds if:

• following the declaration that the principal of the global bonds has become due and payable immediately, Brazil deposits with the trustee a sum sufficient to pay all outstanding amounts then due on those global bonds (other than principal due by virtue of the acceleration upon the event of default) together with interest on such amounts through the date of the deposit as well as the reasonable fees and compensation of the holders that declared those global bonds due and payable, the trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel; and

• all events of default (other thannon-payment of principal that became due by virtue of the acceleration upon the event of default) have been remedied.

Paying Agents and Transfer Agents

Until the global bonds are paid, Brazil will maintain a paying agent in New York City. Brazil has initially appointed The Bank of New York Mellon to serve as its paying agent and transfer agent in New York City.

In addition, so long as the global bonds are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules of such exchange so require, Brazil will maintain a paying agent and transfer agent in Luxembourg. Brazil has initially appointed The Bank of New York Mellon SA/NV, Luxembourg Branch to serve as its Luxembourg paying agent and transfer agent.

Brazil may at any time appoint new paying agents and transfer agents. Brazil will promptly provide notice (as described under “—Notices”) of the termination or appointment of, or of any change in the office of, any paying agent or transfer agent.

Certificated Securities

Brazil will issue global bonds in certificated form in exchange for thebook-entry securities only if:

• DTC notifies Brazil that it is unwilling, unable or no longer qualified to continue to act as depositary or ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 at a time when it is required to be and Brazil does not appoint a successor depositary within 90 days of receiving notice from the depositary or becoming aware of such ineligibility;

• the trustee institutes or is directed to institute any judicial proceeding in a court or arbitral proceeding to enforce the rights of the holders with respect to the global bonds represented by the global security and the trustee has been advised by counsel that in connection with such proceeding it is necessary or appropriate for the trustee to obtain possession of the global bonds, the trustee may in its sole discretion determine that the global bonds represented by a global security will no longer be represented by a global security; or

• at any time Brazil decides it no longer wishes to have all or part of the global bonds represented by abook-entry security.

If Brazil issues certificated securities, the certificated securities will have the same terms and authorized denominations as thebook-entry security. You may present certificated securities for transfer, exchange or payment at the corporate trust office of the trustee in New York City, or at the office of the Luxembourg paying agent and transfer agent, according to the procedures in the indenture, and, in the case of certificated securities

S-27

presented for payment, principal and interest thereon will be payable at the offices of either the trustee in New York City or the Luxembourg paying agent and transfer agent,providedthat interest thereon may be paid by check mailed to the registered holders of certificated securities. In the case of a transfer of part of a certificated security, the registrar or transfer agent will issue a new certificated security to the transferee and a second certificated security in respect of the balance of the certificated security to the transferor. Certificated securities presented for transfer must be accompanied by an executed instrument of assignment and transfer, copies of which are available at the office of the Luxembourg transfer agent. You will not be charged a fee for the registration of transfers or exchanges of certificated securities. You may, however, be charged for any stamp, tax or other governmental charge that must be paid in connection with the transfer, exchange or registration. Brazil, the trustee and any other agent of Brazil may treat the person in whose name any certificated security is registered as the owner of such security for all purposes.

If any security becomes mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost, you can have it replaced by delivering the security or the evidence of its loss, theft or destruction to the trustee. Brazil and the trustee may require you to sign an indemnity under which you agree to pay Brazil, the trustee or any other agent of Brazil for any losses that they may suffer relating to such replacement. Brazil and the trustee may also require you to present other documents or proof. After you deliver these documents, Brazil in its discretion may execute, and, upon request of Brazil, the trustee will authenticate and deliver to you, a substitute security with the same terms as the security you are exchanging. If so requested by Brazil, you will be required to pay all expenses and reasonable charges associated with the replacement of the mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost security.

Notices

So long as the global bonds are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules of that exchange so require, Brazil will publish notices to the holders of the global bonds in a leading newspaper having general circulation in Luxembourg or arrange to make such notices available on the website of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (athttp://www.bourse.lu). If Brazil elects to publish notices in Luxembourg, Brazil expects that it will initially make such publication in theLuxemburger Wort. If publication in a leading newspaper in Luxembourg is not practicable, Brazil will publish such notices in one other leading English language daily newspaper with general circulation in Europe. Brazil will consider a notice to be given on the date of its first publication.

In the case of thebook-entry securities, notices also will be sent to DTC or its nominee, as the holder thereof, and DTC will communicate such notices to DTC participants in accordance with its standard procedures.

Further Issues of the Global Bonds

From time to time, without the consent of holders of the global bonds, and subject to the required approvals under Brazilian law, Brazil may create and issue additional debt securities with the same terms and conditions as those of the global bonds (or the same except for the amount of the first interest payment, the issue date and the issue price),provided that such additional debt securities are issued pursuant to a “qualified reopening” of the original series or are otherwise treated as part of the same “issue” of debt instruments as the original series for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Amendments and Waivers

The holders of the global bonds may generally approve any proposal by Brazil to modify the indenture or the terms of the global bonds with the affirmative vote (if approved at a meeting of the holders) or consent (if approved by written action) of holders of more than 50% of the outstanding principal amount of the global bonds.

However, holders of the global bonds may approve, by vote or consent through one of three modification methods, any proposed modification by Brazil that would do any of the following (such subjects referred to as “reserve matters”):

• change the date on which any amount is payable on the global bonds;

S-28

• reduce the principal amount (other than in accordance with the express terms of the global bonds and the indenture) of the global bonds;

• reduce the interest rate on the global bonds;

• change the method used to calculate any amount payable on the global bonds (other than in accordance with the express terms of the global bonds and the indenture);

• change the currency or place of payment of any amount payable on the global bonds;

• modify Brazil’s obligation to make any payments on the global bonds (including any redemption price therefor);

• change the identity of the obligor under the global bonds;

• change the definition of “outstanding” or the percentage of affirmative votes or written consents, as the case may be, required to make a “reserve matter modification”;

• change the definition of “uniformly applicable” or “reserve matter modification”;

• authorize the trustee, on behalf of all holders of the global bonds, to exchange or substitute all the global bonds for, or convert all the global bonds into, other obligations or securities of Brazil or any other person; or

• change the legal ranking, governing law, agreement to arbitrate, submission to jurisdiction in Brazil or waiver of immunities provisions of the terms of the global bonds.

A change to a reserve matter, including the payment terms of the global bonds, can be made without your consent, as long as the change is approved, pursuant to one of the three following modification methods, by vote or consent by:

• the holders of more than 75% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding global bonds in so far as the changes affect the global bonds;

• where such proposed modification would affect the outstanding debt securities of two or more series (a“cross-series modification”), including the global bonds, the holders of more than 75% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of all of the series affected by the proposed modification, taken in the aggregate, if certain “uniformly applicable” requirements are met (a“cross-series modification with single aggregated voting”); or

• where such proposed modification would affect the outstanding debt securities of two or more series, including the global bonds, whether or not certain “uniformly applicable” requirements are met, the holders of more than 66 2/3% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of all of the series affected by the proposed modification, taken in the aggregate, and the holders of more than 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each series affected by the modification, taken individually (a“cross-series modification withtwo-tier voting”).

The term “uniformly applicable,” as referred to above, in the context of a proposedcross-series modification, means a modification by which holders of debt securities of any series affected by that modification are invited to exchange, convert or substitute their debt securities on the same terms for (x) the same new instruments or other consideration or (y) new instruments or other consideration from an identical menu of instruments or other consideration.

A modification will not be considered to be uniformly applicable if each exchanging, converting or substituting holder of debt securities of any series affected by that modification is not offered the same amount of consideration per amount of principal, the same amount of consideration per amount of interest accrued but unpaid and the same amount of consideration per amount of past due interest, respectively, as that offered to each other exchanging, converting or substituting holder of debt securities of any series affected by that modification

S-29

(or, where a menu of instruments or other consideration is offered, each exchanging, converting or substituting holder of debt securities of any series affected by that modification is not offered the same amount of consideration per amount of principal, the same amount of consideration per amount of interest accrued but unpaid and the same amount of consideration per amount of past due interest, respectively, as that offered to each other exchanging, converting or substituting holder of debt securities of any series affected by that modification electing the same option under such menu of instruments).

Brazil may select, in its discretion, any modification method for a reserve matter modification in accordance with the indenture and designate which series of debt securities will be included for approval in the aggregate of modifications affecting two or more series of debt securities. Any selection of a modification method or designation of series to be included will be final for the purpose of that vote or consent solicitation.

Across-series modification constituting or including a reserve matter modification to the terms and conditions of the affected debt securities, including the global bonds, that is not uniformly applicable must be effected pursuant to across-series modification withtwo-tier voting; such across-series modification that is uniformly applicable may be effected pursuant to across-series modification with single aggregated voting or across-series modification withtwo-tier voting, at Brazil’s option.

Before soliciting any consent or vote of any holder of debt securities for any change to a reserve matter, Brazil will provide the following information to the trustee for distribution to the holders of debt securities of any series that would be affected by the proposed modification:

• a description of Brazil’s economic and financial circumstances which are, in Brazil’s opinion, relevant to the request for the proposed modification, a description of Brazil’s existing debts and description of any broad policy reform program and provisional macroeconomic outlook;

• if Brazil shall at the time have entered into an arrangement for financial assistance with multilateral and/or other major creditors or creditor groups and/or an agreement with any such creditors regarding debt relief, (x) a description of any such arrangement or agreement and (y) where permitted under the information disclosure policies of the multilateral or other creditors, as applicable, a copy of the arrangement or agreement;

• a description of Brazil’s proposed treatment of external debt instruments that are not affected by the proposed modification and its intentions with respect to any other major creditor groups; and

• if Brazil is then seeking any reserve matter modification affecting any other series of debt securities, a description of that proposed modification.

For purposes of determining whether the required percentage of holders of the global bonds or any other series of debt securities has approved any amendment, modification or change to, or waiver of, the global bonds or the indenture, or whether the required percentage of holders has delivered a notice of acceleration of the global bonds, debt securities (including the global bonds) will be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding and may not be counted in a vote or consent solicitation for or against a proposed modification if on the record date for the proposed modification or other action or instruction hereunder, the debt security is held by Brazil or by a public sector instrumentality, except that (x) debt securities held by Brazil or any public sector instrumentality which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such debt securities and that the pledgee is not Brazil or a public sector instrumentality, and in case of a dispute concerning such right, the advice of counsel shall be full protection in respect of any decision made by the trustee in accordance with such advice and any certificate, statement or opinion of counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters or information that is in the possession of the trustee, upon the certificate, statement or opinion of or representations by the trustee; and (y) in determining whether the trustee will be protected in relying upon any such action or instructions under the indenture, or any notice from holders, only debt securities that a responsible officer of the trustee knows to be so owned or controlled will be so disregarded.

S-30

As used in the preceding paragraph, “public sector instrumentality” means any department, ministry or agency of Brazil, and a corporation, trust or other legal entity controlled by Brazil or by a public sector instrumentality and “control” means the power, directly or indirectly, through the ownership of voting securities or other ownership interests, by contract or otherwise, to direct the management of or elect or appoint a majority of the board of directors or other persons performing similar functions in lieu of, or in addition to, the board of directors of that legal entity.

Please refer to the section entitled “Debt Securities—Meetings and Amendments” in the accompanying prospectus for information on the procedures for convening and conducting meetings of the holders of global bonds.

Certain Amendments Not Requiring Holder Consent

Brazil and the trustee may, without the vote or consent of any holder of global bonds, amend the indenture or the global bonds for the purpose of:

• adding to Brazil’s covenants for the benefit of the holders;

• surrendering any of Brazil’s rights or powers with respect to the global bonds of that series;

• securing the global bonds of that series;

• curing any ambiguity or curing, correcting or supplementing any defective provision in the global bonds of that series or the indenture;

• amending the global bonds of that series or the indenture in any manner that Brazil and the trustee may determine and that does not materially adversely affect the interests of any holders of the global bonds of that series; or

• correcting a manifest error of a formal, minor or technical nature.

GLOBAL CLEARANCE AND SETTLEMENT

Brazil has obtained the information in this section from sources it believes to be reliable, including from DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg, and Brazil takes responsibility for the accurate reproduction of this information. Brazil takes no responsibility, however, for the accuracy of this information. DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg are under no obligation to perform or continue to perform the procedures described below, and they may modify or discontinue them at any time. Neither Brazil nor the trustee will be responsible for DTC’s, Euroclear’s or Clearstream, Luxembourg’s performance of their obligations under their rules and procedures. Nor will Brazil or the trustee be responsible for the performance by direct or indirect participants of their obligations under their rules and procedures.

Introduction

The Depository Trust Company

DTC is:

• alimited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law;

• a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law;

• a member of the Federal Reserve System;

• a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; and

• a “clearing agency” registered under Section 17A of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

S-31

DTC was created to hold securities for its participants and facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between its participants. It does this through electronicbook-entry changes in the accounts of its direct participants, eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. DTC is awholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries.

The laws of some states require certain purchasers of securities to take physical delivery of the securities in definitive form. These laws may impair your ability to transfer beneficial interests in the global bonds to such purchasers. DTC can act only on behalf of its direct participants, who in turn act on behalf of indirect participants and certain banks. Thus, your ability to pledge beneficial interests in the global bonds to persons that do not participate in the DTC system, and to take other actions, may be limited because you will not possess a physical certificate that represents your interest.

Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg

Like DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg hold securities for their participants and facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between their participants through electronicbook-entry changes in their accounts. Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg provide various services to their participants, including the safekeeping, administration, clearance and settlement, and lending and borrowing of internationally traded securities. Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg participants are financial institutions such as underwriters, securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies and other organizations. Other banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies have indirect access to Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg by clearing through or maintaining a custodial relationship with Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg participants.

Ownership of the Global Bonds through DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg

Brazil will issue the global bonds in the form of one or more fully registeredbook-entry securities, registered in the name of Cede & Co., a nominee of DTC. Financial institutions, acting as direct and indirect participants in DTC, will represent your beneficial interests in thebook-entry securities. These financial institutions will record the ownership and transfer of your beneficial interests throughbook-entry accounts. You may hold your beneficial interests in thebook-entry securities through Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, if you are a participant in such systems, or indirectly through organizations that are participants in such systems. Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg will hold their participants’ beneficial interests in thebook-entry securities in their customers’ securities accounts with their depositaries. These depositaries of Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg in turn will hold such interests in their customers’ securities accounts with DTC.

Brazil and the trustee generally will treat the registered holder of the global bonds, initially Cede & Co., as the absolute owner of the global bonds for all purposes. Once Brazil and the trustee make payments to the registered holders, Brazil and the trustee will no longer be liable on the global bonds for the amounts so paid. Accordingly, if you own a beneficial interest in thebook-entry securities, you must rely on the procedures of the institutions through which you hold your interests in thebook-entry securities (including DTC, Euroclear, Clearstream, Luxembourg, and their participants) to exercise any of the rights granted to the holder of thebook-entry securities. Under existing industry practice, if you desire to take any action that Cede & Co., as the holder of suchbook-entry securities, is entitled to take, then Cede & Co. would authorize the DTC participant through which you own your beneficial interest to take such action, and that DTC participant would then either authorize you to take the action or act for you on your instructions.

DTC may grant proxies or authorize its participants (or persons holding beneficial interests in the global bonds through such participants) to exercise any rights of a holder or take any other actions that a holder is entitled to take under the indenture or the global bonds. Euroclear’s or Clearstream, Luxembourg’s ability to take actions as a holder under the global bonds or the indenture will be limited by the ability of their respective

S-32

depositaries to carry out such actions for them through DTC. Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg will take such actions only in accordance with their respective rules and procedures.

You may incur fees for the maintenance and operation of thebook-entry accounts with the clearing systems in which your beneficial interests are held.

Transfers Within and Between DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg

Since the purchaser determines the place of delivery, it is important for you to establish at the time of the trade where both the purchaser’s and seller’s accounts are located to ensure that settlement can be on the desired value date. Although DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg have agreed to the following procedures in order to facilitate transfers of interests in thebook-entry security among participants of DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg, they are under no obligation to perform or continue to perform these procedures, and these procedures may be discontinued at any time. Neither Brazil nor the trustee will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg or their respective participants or indirect participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.

Trading Between DTC Purchasers and Sellers

DTC participants will transfer interests in the global bonds among themselves in the ordinary way according to DTC rules governing global securities issues.

Trading Between Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg Participants

Participants in Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg will transfer interests in the global bonds among themselves in the ordinary way according to the rules and operating procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg governing conventional Eurobonds.

Trading Between a DTC Seller and a Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg Purchaser

When the global bonds are to be transferred from the account of a DTC participant to the account of a Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg participant, the purchaser must first send instructions to Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg through a participant at least one business day prior to the settlement date. Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg will then instruct its depositary to receive the global bonds and make payment for them. On the settlement date, the depositary will make payment to the DTC participant’s account and the global bonds will be credited to the depositary’s account. After settlement has been completed, DTC will credit the global bonds to Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg will credit the global bonds, in accordance with its usual procedures, to the participant’s account, and the participant will then credit the purchaser’s account. These securities credits will appear the next day (European time) after the settlement date. The cash debit from the account of Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg will beback-valued to the value date (which will be the preceding day if settlement occurs in New York). If settlement is not completed on the intended value date (i.e., the trade fails), the cash debit will instead be valued at the actual settlement date.

Participants in Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg will need to make funds available to Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg in order to pay for the global bonds by wire transfer on the value date. The most direct way of doing this is topre-position funds (i.e., have funds in place at Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg before the value date), either from cash on hand or existing lines of credit. Under this approach, however, participants may take on credit exposure to Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg until the global bonds are credited to their accounts one day later.

As an alternative, if Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg has extended a line of credit to a participant, the participant may decide not topre-position funds, but to allow Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg to draw on

S-33

the line of credit to finance settlement for the global bonds. Under this procedure, Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg would charge the participant overdraft charges for one day, assuming that the overdraft would be cleared when the global bonds were credited to the participant’s account. However, interest on the global bonds would accrue from the value date. Therefore, in many cases the interest income on global bonds which the participant earns during thatone-day period will substantially reduce or offset the amount of the participant’s overdraft charges. Of course, this result will depend on the cost of funds (i.e., the interest rate that Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg charges) to each participant.

Since the settlement will occur during New York business hours, a DTC participant selling an interest in the global bonds can use its usual procedures for transferring global bonds to the depositaries of Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg for the benefit of Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg participants. The DTC seller will receive the sale proceeds on the settlement date. Thus, to the DTC seller, across-market sale will settle no differently than a trade between two DTC participants.

Trading Between a Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg Seller and DTC Purchaser

Due to time zone differences in their favor, Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg participants can use their usual procedures to transfer global bonds through their depositaries to a DTC participant. The seller must first send instructions to Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg through a participant at least one business day prior to the settlement date. Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg will then instruct its depositary to credit the global bonds to the DTC participant’s account and receive payment. The payment will be credited in the account of the Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg participant on the following day, but the receipt of the cash proceeds will beback-valued to the value date (which will be the preceding day if settlement occurs in New York). If settlement is not completed on the intended value date (i.e., the trade fails), the receipt of the cash proceeds will instead be valued at the actual settlement date.

If the Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg participant selling the global bonds has a line of credit with Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg and elects to be in debit for the global bonds until it receives the sale proceeds in its account, then theback-valuation may substantially reduce or offset any overdraft charges that the participant incurs over thatone-day period.

Finally, a day trader that uses Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg and that purchases global bonds from a DTC participant for credit to a Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg accountholder should note that these trades would automatically fail on the sale side unless affirmative action were taken. At least three techniques should be readily available to eliminate this potential problem:

• borrowing through Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg for one day (until the purchase side of the day trade is reflected in its Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg account) in accordance with the clearing system’s customary procedures;

• borrowing the global bonds in the United States from a DTC participant no later than one day prior to settlement which would give the global bonds sufficient time to be reflected in the borrower’s Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg account in order to settle the sale side of the trade; or

• staggering the value dates for the buy and sell sides of the trade so that the value date for the purchase from the DTC participant is at least one day prior to the value date for the sale to the Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg accountholder.

TAXATION

Brazilian Taxation

The following is a summary of certain Brazilian federal income taxation considerations that may be relevant to a prospectivenon-Brazilian investor in the global bonds. The summary is based on Brazilian laws, rules and regulations in effect on the date of this prospectus supplement, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. This summary is not intended to constitute a complete analysis of the Brazilian income tax consequences tonon-residents of Brazil of the purchase, receipt, ownership or disposition of the global bonds. This summary does not describe any of the tax consequences that may be applicable to residents of Brazil.

Prospective purchasers of the global bonds should consult their own tax advisors to determine the tax consequences arising from the purchase, ownership and disposition of the global bonds.

Unless anon-Brazilian holder of a global bond has some connection with Brazil other than the mere holding of a global bond or the receipt of principal or interest in respect of a global bond, payments of interest and principal on a global bond to thatnon-Brazilian holder will be made free and clear of, and without deduction for or on account of, Brazilian taxes.

Capital gains resulting from any trades of global bonds effected between or in respect of accounts maintained by or on behalf ofnon-residents of Brazil will not be subject to Brazilian income tax or other Brazilian taxes if thesenon-residents have no connection with Brazil other than as holders of an interest in the global bonds.

Payments of interest and principal on the global bonds to, and any gain realized upon the disposition of global bonds by,non-Brazilian holders of global bonds will not be subject to Brazilian estate tax.

United States Federal Income Taxation

The following is a summary of material U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to a holder of a global bond. This summary is based on laws, regulations, rulings and decisions now in effect, all of which are subject to change. This summary deals only with beneficial owners of global bonds that purchase the global bonds at their initial offering price and hold the global bonds as capital assets. It does not address particular tax considerations that may be applicable to investors that are subject to special tax rules, such as banks,tax-exempt entities, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, dealers in securities or currencies, traders in securities electing to mark their positions to market, persons that will hold global bonds as a position in a “straddle” or conversion transaction, or as part of a “synthetic security” or other integrated financial transaction, entities taxed as partnerships or the partners therein, persons subject to the alternative minimum tax, U.S. expatriates, nonresident alien individuals present in the United States for more than 182 days in a taxable year, or U.S. holders (as defined below) that have a “functional currency” other than the U.S. dollar.

This summary addresses only U.S. federal income tax consequences, and does not address consequences arising under state, local, foreign tax laws, U.S. federal estate, gift or other tax laws, or the Medicare tax on net investment income. Investors should consult their own tax advisors in determining the tax consequences to them of holding global bonds under such tax laws, as well as the application to their particular situation of the U.S. federal income tax considerations discussed below.

As used herein, a “U.S. holder” is a beneficial owner of a global bond that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a citizen or resident of the United States or a domestic corporation or that otherwise is subject to U.S. federal income taxation on a net income basis in respect of the global bond. A“non-U.S. holder” is a beneficial owner of a global bond that is an individual, corporation, foreign estate, or foreign trust, that is not a U.S. holder.

S-35

U.S. holders

Payments of interest. Payments of interest generally will be taxable to a U.S. holder as ordinary interest income at the time that such payments are accrued or are received in accordance with the U.S. holder’s method of tax accounting. Such interest will generally constitute income from sources without the United States for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes.

Purchase, sale and retirement.A U.S. holder that sells, exchanges or otherwise disposes of the global bonds generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the transaction and its tax basis in the global bonds (except that any amount attributable to accrued and unpaid interest will be treated as a payment of interest for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which will be taxable as described above). A U.S. holder’s tax basis in a global bond generally will be equal to the amount that the U.S. holder paid for the global bond. Any gain or loss recognized on a taxable disposition of a global bond will be capital gain or loss. If, at the time of the sale, exchange, redemption or other taxable disposition of a global bond, a U.S. holder held the global bond for more than one year, the gain or loss will belong-term capital gain or loss. Otherwise, the gain or loss will beshort-term capital gain or loss.Long-term capital gains realized by anon-corporate U.S. holder are generally eligible for reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

A U.S. holder’s gain or loss on the sale, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of a global bond will generally be U.S. source gain or loss. Accordingly, in the event that Brazilian tax were imposed on the sale or disposition of the global bonds, a U.S. holder may not be able to fully utilize any U.S. foreign tax credits arising from such tax unless the U.S. holder has other foreign source income. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors as to the U.S. tax and foreign tax credit implications of such sale, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of a global bond.

Non-U.S. holders

Subject to the discussion of backup withholding below, anon-U.S. holder (as defined above) generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on payments of interest on the global bonds. In addition, anon-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on gain realized on the sale, exchange, redemption or other taxable disposition of the global bonds.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Payments in respect of the global bonds that are paid within the United States or through certainU.S.-related financial intermediaries are generally subject to information reporting, unless the U.S. holder is an exempt recipient that establishes its exemption when required. Such payments to anon-exempt recipient that is a U.S. holder may also be subject to backup withholding, unless the U.S. holder provides an accurate taxpayer identification number and certifies that it has not lost its exemption from backup withholding.Non-U.S. holders are generally exempt from backup withholding, but may have to comply with certification procedures to prove their entitlement to this exemption. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a U.S. ornon-U.S. holder will be allowed as a credit against the holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle the holder to a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

Certain U.S. holders that own “specified foreign financial assets” with an aggregate value in excess of U.S.$50,000 may be required to file an information statement along with their tax returns, currently on Form 8938, with respect to such assets. “Specified foreign financial assets” include any financial accounts held at anon-U.S. financial institution, as well as securities issued by anon-U.S. issuer (which may include global bonds issued in certificated form) that are held for investment and are not held in accounts maintained by financial institutions. Higher reporting thresholds apply to certain individuals living abroad and to certain married individuals. Regulations extend this reporting requirement to certain entities that are treated as formed or availed

S-36

of to hold direct or indirect interests in specified foreign financial assets based on certain objective criteria. U.S. holders who fail to report the required information could be subject to substantial penalties. In addition, the statute of limitations for assessment of tax would be suspended, in whole or part.

Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors concerning the application of these rules to their investment in the global bonds, including the application of the rules to their particular circumstances.

S-37

UNDERWRITING

Brazil and the underwriters for the offering named below have entered into a terms agreement dated March 21, 2019 with respect to the global bonds. Subject to certain conditions, each underwriter has severally agreed to purchase the principal amount of the global bonds indicated in the following table:

Underwriter	Principal Amount
Banco Bradesco BBI S.A.	U.S.$	500,000,000
J.P. Morgan Securities LLC	U.S.$	500,000,000
Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith
Incorporated	U.S.$	500,000,000
Total	U.S.$	1,500,000,000

Global bonds sold by the underwriters to the public will initially be offered at the public offering price set forth on the cover of this prospectus supplement plus accrued interest, if any, from March 28, 2019. If all global bonds are not sold at such public offering price, the underwriters may change the offering price and the other selling terms.

The underwriters propose to offer the global bonds initially at the public offering price on the cover page of this prospectus supplement and to securities dealers at that price less a selling concession of 0.150% of the principal amount of the global bonds. The underwriters and any such securities dealers may allow a discount of 0.100% of the principal amount of the global bonds on sales to other broker/dealers. After the initial public offering of the global bonds, the underwriters may change the public offering price and concession and discount to broker/ dealers. The offering of the global bonds by the underwriters is subject to receipt and acceptance and subject to the underwriter’s right to reject any order in whole or in part.

It is expected that delivery of the global bonds will be made against payment therefor on or about March 28, 2019. Under SEC Rule15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade global bonds on the date of this prospectus supplement or the next succeeding business day(s) will be required, by virtue of the fact that the global bonds initially will settle on March 28, 2019, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement and should consult their own advisor.

Brazil has been advised by the underwriters that the underwriters intend to make a market in the global bonds but are not obligated to do so and may discontinue market making at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the trading market for the global bonds.

The global bonds are offered for sale in those jurisdictions where it is legal to make such offers. Only offers and sales of the global bonds in the United States, as part of the initial distribution thereof or in connection with resales thereof under circumstances where this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus must be delivered, are made pursuant to the registration statement, of which the prospectus, as supplemented by this prospectus supplement, forms a part.

In connection with the offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell the global bonds in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater aggregate principal amount of global bonds than they are required to purchase in the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of certain bids or purchases made for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the global bonds while the offering is in progress. These activities by the underwriters may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the global bonds. As a result, the price of the global bonds may be higher than the price that

S-38

otherwise might exist in the open market. If these activities are commenced, they may be discontinued by the underwriters at any time. These transactions may be effected on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, in theover-the-counter market or otherwise.

Brazil estimates that its share of the total expenses of this offering, excluding the underwriting discount, will be approximately U.S.$200,000.

Purchasers of the global bonds may be required to pay stamp taxes and other charges in accordance with the laws and practices of the country of purchase in addition to the public offering price set forth on the cover of this prospectus supplement.

The underwriters and their respective affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities.

The underwriters and certain of their affiliates have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, investment banking and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with us or our affiliates. They have received, or may in the future receive, customary fees and commissions for these transactions.

In the ordinary course of their various business activities, the underwriters and their respective affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers, and such investment and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of the issuer. The underwriters and their respective affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or instruments and may at any time hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

If any of the underwriters or their affiliates has a lending relationship with us, certain of those underwriters or their affiliates routinely hedge, and certain other of those underwriters may hedge their credit exposure to us consistent with their customary risk management policies. Typically, the underwriters and their affiliates would hedge such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our securities, including potentially the notes offered hereby. Any such credit default swaps or short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the notes offered hereby.

Bradesco Securities Inc. will act as agent of Banco Bradesco BBI S.A. for sales of the notes in the United States of America. Banco Bradesco BBI S.A. is not a broker-dealer registered with the SEC, and therefore may not make sales of any notes in the United States to U.S. persons. Banco Bradesco BBI S.A. and Bradesco Securities Inc. are affiliates of Banco Bradesco S.A.

The underwriters have specifically agreed to act as follows in each of the following places:

Austria:

The information in the offer materials does not constitute a public offering (öffentliches Angebot) to investors in Austria and must not be used in conjunction with a public offering pursuant to Austrian Capital Market Act (Kapitalmarktgesetz) in Austria or, if considered a public offering (öffentliches Angebot), is exclusively made on the basis of exemptions from the obligation to publish an approved prospectus in line with the Austrian Capital Market Act (Kapitalmarktgesetz). No prospectus pursuant to the Austrian Capital Market Act (Kapitalmarktgesetz) has been or will be approved (gebilligt) by or notified (notifiziert) to the Austrian Financial Market Authority (Finanzmarktaufsicht) and no such prospectus has been or will be published in Austria in any way which would constitute a public offering under Austrian law (whether presently or in the future), nor has been or will such prospectus be deposited with the filing office (Meldestelle) of Oesterreichische Kontrollbank AG.

No advertisements may be published and no marketing materials may be made available or distributed in Austria in respect of the securities.

Consequently, the offer has not been and will not be notified to, and the prospectus supplement and any other offering material relating to the offer has not been, and will not be, 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 of securities.

Brazil:

The global bonds may not be offered or sold to the public in Brazil. Accordingly, this prospectus supplement has not been nor will it be registered with the Brazilian Securities Commission (Comissão de Valores Mobiliários) nor has it been submitted to the foregoing agency for approval. Documents relating to the offer, as well as the information contained therein, may not be supplied to the public in Brazil, as the offering of the global bonds pursuant to this prospectus supplement is not a public offering of securities in Brazil, nor used in connection with any offer for subscription or sale of the global bonds to the public in Brazil.

Any resale of the global bonds must be made in accordance with an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the prospectus requirements of applicable securities laws.

Securities legislation in certain provinces or territories of Canada may provide a purchaser with remedies for rescission or damages if this prospectus supplement (including any amendment thereto) contains a

S-40

misrepresentation, provided that the remedies for rescission or damages are exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province or territory. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province or territory for particulars of these rights or consult with a legal advisor.

France:

The global bonds may not be offered or sold or caused to be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, to the public in France and neither this prospectus supplement and the related prospectus, which have not been submitted to the clearance procedure of the FrenchAutorité des marchés financiers (“AMF”), nor to a competent authority of another Member State of the European Economic Area that would have notified its approval to the AMF in accordance with the passport procedure provided under the EU Prospectus Directive 2003/71/EC as implemented in France and in the relevant Member State, nor any other offering material or information contained therein relating to the global bonds may be released, issued or distributed or caused to be released, issued or distributed, directly or indirectly, to the public in France, or used in connection with any offer for subscription, exchange or sale of the global bonds to the public in France.

Investors in France and persons into whose possession offering materials come must inform themselves about, and observe, any such restrictions.

Germany:

This 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

S-42

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 global bonds, or distribution of a prospectus, a prospectus supplement or any other offering material relating to the global 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 this 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 global bonds or any distribution of offering material within the Federal Republic of Germany may violate the provisions of the German Securities Prospectus Act.

Each of the underwriters represents, agrees and undertakes that: (i) it has not offered, sold or delivered and will not offer, sell or deliver any bonds in Germany other than in accordance with provisions of the German Securities Prospectus Act; and (ii) that it will distribute in the Federal Republic of Germany any offering material relating to the global bonds only under circumstances that will result in compliance with the applicable rules and regulations of the Federal Republic of Germany.

This prospectus is strictly for use of the person who has received it. It may not be forwarded to other persons or published in Germany.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, Brazil will use the net proceeds from the sale of the securities for the general purposes of Brazil, including the payment of its indebtedness.

RISK FACTORS

This section describes certain risks associated with investing in the debt securities. You should

consult your financial and legal advisors about the risks of investing in the debt securities and the suitability of your investment in light of your particular situation. Brazil disclaims any responsibility for advising you on these matters.

Risks relating to Brazil

Brazil’s economy is vulnerable to external shocks and to more general “contagion” effects, each of which could have a material adverse effect on Brazil’s economic growth and its ability to raise funding in the external debt markets in the future.

Emerging market investment generally poses a degree of risk because the economies in the developing world are susceptible to destabilization resulting from domestic and international developments.

Brazil’s economy is vulnerable to external shocks, including adverse economic and financial developments in other countries and market developments. A significant increase in interest rates in the international financial markets may adversely affect the liquidity of, and trading markets for, the debt securities. In addition, a significant drop in the price of commodities produced in Brazil, such as iron ore, oil, soybeans, sugar and corn, could adversely affect the Brazilian economy. A significant decline in the economic growth or demand for imports of any of Brazil’s major trading partners, such as China, the European Union, or the United States, could have a material adverse impact on Brazil’s exports and balance of trade and adversely affect Brazil’s economic growth.

In addition, because international investors’ reactions to the events occurring in one emerging market country sometimes produce a “contagion” effect, in which an entire region or class of investment is disfavored by international investors, Brazil could be adversely affected by negative economic or financial developments in other countries. Brazil has been adversely affected by such contagion effects on a number of occasions, including following the 1997 Asian financial crisis, the 1998 Russian financial crisis, the 2001 Argentine financial crisis and the 2008 global economic crisis. Similar developments may affect the Brazilian economy in the future.

-2-

We cannot assure you that any developments like those described above will not negatively affect investor confidence in mature market economies, emerging markets or the economies of the principal countries in Latin America, including Brazil. In addition, we cannot assure you that these events will not adversely affect Brazil’s economy and its ability to raise funding in the external debt markets in the future. See“Forward-Looking Statements” above.

Brazil’s economy is vulnerable to a number of internal risks, each of which could have a material adverse effect on Brazil’s economic growth and on the liquidity of, and trading markets for, the debt securities.

Brazil’s economy, and therefore its government finances, are subject to risks arising from internal developments in Brazil. These include general economic and business conditions in Brazil, the level of consumer demand, the level of confidence that domestic consumers and foreign investors have in the economic and political conditions in Brazil, present and future exchange rates of the Brazilian currency, the level of domestic debt, domestic inflation, the ability of Brazil to generate a primary budget surplus, the level of foreign direct and portfolio investment, the level of domestic interest rates, the degree of political uncertainty at the federal and state level in Brazil, and investigations into corruption and their impact on political and economic conditions in the country.

Any of these factors or similar events or developments may adversely affect the liquidity of, and trading markets for, the debt securities.

An increase in inflation and government measures to curb inflation may adversely affect the Brazilian economy.

Brazil’s economy has experienced high levels of inflation in the past and may experience high levels in the future. Periods of rapid economic expansion and contraction in Brazil have resulted in volatile rates of inflation. In the future, significant inflation may cause Brazil to impose controls on credit or prices, or to take other actions, which could inhibit Brazil’s economic growth. In addition, inflation can result in greater market volatility by causing economic uncertainties and reduced consumption, GDP growth and consumer confidence. Inflation,

measures to combat inflation and public speculation about possible additional actions have also contributed to economic uncertainty in Brazil in the past and could produce uncertainty in the future. Any of these factors can have a material adverse effect on Brazil’s financial condition.

Risk Factors Relating to the Debt Securities

Brazil is a foreign state and accordingly it may be difficult to obtain or enforce judgments or arbitral awards against it.

Brazil has agreed to arbitrate in New York, New York any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the indenture, the debt securities or any coupon appertaining thereto. As a result, an arbitration proceeding in New York, New York is the exclusive forum in which a holder may assert a claim against Brazil, unless the holder elects to bring a claim in a competent court in Brazil against Brazil only, as may be permitted by the terms of the debt securities. Brazil is a foreign state and has not waived any immunity or submitted to the jurisdiction of any court outside Brazil. In addition, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process upon Brazil within their own jurisdiction, obtain jurisdiction over Brazil in their own jurisdiction or enforce against Brazil judgments or arbitral awards obtained in their own jurisdiction. See “Arbitration and Enforceability” below.

The debt securities will contain provisions that permit Brazil to amend the payment terms without the consent of all holders.

The debt securities will contain provisions regarding acceleration and voting on future amendments, modifications, changes and waivers, which are commonly referred to as “collective action clauses.” Under these provisions, certain key provisions of the debt securities may be amended without your consent, including the maturity date, interest rate and other payment terms.

DEBT SECURITIES

The information contained in this section summarizes some of the terms of the debt securities and the indenture. This summary does not contain all of the information that may be important to you as a

-3-

potential investor in the debt securities. You should read the indenture and the forms of the debt securities before making your investment decision. Brazil has filed or will file copies of these documents with the SEC and will also file copies of these documents at the offices of the trustee.

Because the information provided in the prospectus supplement may differ from that contained in this prospectus, you should rely on the prospectus supplement for the final description of a particular issue of debt securities. The following description will apply to a particular issue of debt securities only to the extent that it is not inconsistent with the description provided in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Brazil may issue debt securities, with or without warrants, in distinct series at various times, and these debt securities will be issued pursuant to an indenture between Brazil and a trustee.

The prospectus supplement that relates to your series of debt securities will be issued pursuant to an indenture and identify the trustee and any paying agent that Brazil has appointed for your series of debt securities. The indenture will not be subject to the protections of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. The prospectus supplement relating to your series of debt securities will also describe the financial terms and other specific terms of your series of debt securities. If the terms or conditions described in the prospectus supplement that relate to your series of debt securities differ from the terms or conditions described in this prospectus, you should rely on the terms or conditions described in the prospectus supplement.

In this description of debt securities, you will see some initially capitalized terms. These terms have very particular, legal meanings, and you can find their definitions under the heading “Definitions” below.

General Terms of the Debt Securities

The prospectus supplement that relates to your debt securities will specify the following terms:

• the specific title or designation of the debt securities;

• the principal amount of the debt securities;

• the price of the debt securities;

• the stated maturity date on which Brazil agrees to repay principal;

• the rate of any interest the debt securities will bear and, if variable, the method by which the interest rate will be calculated;

• the dates on which any interest payments are scheduled to be made;

• the date or dates from which any interest will accrue;

• the record dates for any interest payable on an interest payment date;

• whether and under what circumstances and terms Brazil may redeem the debt securities before maturity;

• whether and under what circumstances and terms the holders of the debt securities may opt to have their respective debt securities prepaid;

• whether and under what circumstances the debt securities will be entitled to the benefit of a sinking fund or other similar arrangement;

• whether and under what circumstances and terms the holders of the debt securities may opt to obligate Brazil to repurchase or exchange their respective securities, either pursuant to an option that is included in the debt securities or that is or becomes separately tradable following their issuance;

• the currency or currencies in which such debt securities are denominated, which may be U.S. dollars, another foreign currency or units of two or more currencies;

• the currency or currencies for which such debt securities may be purchased and in which principal, premium, if any, and interest may be payable;

• whether any amount payable in respect of the debt securities will be determined based on an index or formula, and, if so, how any such amount will be determined;

• whether the debt securities will be issued upon the exchange or conversion of other debt securities and, if so, the specific terms relating to this exchange or conversion;

-4-

• whether any part or all of the debt securities will be in the form of a global security and the circumstance in which a global security is exchangeable for certificated (physical) securities;

• whether the debt securities will be listed and, if listed, the stock exchange on which these debt securities will be listed; and

• any other terms of the debt securities.

If applicable, the prospectus supplement may also describe any United States federal or Brazilian income tax consequences and special considerations applicable to that particular series of debt securities.

Any moneys held by the trustee in respect of debt securities and remaining unclaimed for two years after those amounts have become due and payable shall be returned to Brazil. After the return of these moneys to Brazil, the holder of the debt securities may look only to Brazil for any payment.

Brazil will replace the trustee with a successor trustee if, after written notice of resignation to Brazil and notice to the holders of the debt securities, the trustee resigns with respect to the debt securities;

Brazil may, or any bona fide holder of a debt security for at least six months may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to, replace the trustee with a successor trustee at any time, if any of the following occur:

• the trustee ceases to be eligible in accordance with the indenture and fails to resign after written request by Brazil or a holder of a debt security; or

• the trustee becomes incapable of acting or is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver or liquidator of the trustee or of its property is appointed, or any public officer takes charge or control of the trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation.

The holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding debt securities of any series may at any time remove the trustee and appoint a successor trustee (which, so long as no event of default shall have occurred and be continuing under the indenture or any debt security,

shall not be a successor institution to which Brazil reasonably objects).

In the case of a series of debt securities to be issued under the indenture that is subject to the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States, at the option of Brazil or the trustee, Brazil will appoint a successor trustee for such series of debt securities prior to its authentication.

Status of the Debt Securities

The debt securities will constitute direct, general, unconditional, unsecured (except as described under the heading “Debt Securities—Negative Pledge” below) and unsubordinated External Indebtedness of Brazil. Brazil has pledged its full faith and credit for the due and punctual payment of principal of, premium, if any, on, and interest on the debt securities.

The debt securities will rank without any preference among themselves and equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated External Indebtedness of Brazil. It is understood that this provision shall not be construed so as to require Brazil to make payments under the debt securities ratably with payments being made under any other External Indebtedness of Brazil.

Form of Debt Securities

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, debt securities denominated in U.S. dollars will be issued:

• only in fully registered form;

• without interest coupons; and

• in denominations of U.S.$200,000 and integral multiples of U.S.$1,000.

Debt securities denominated in another monetary unit will be issued in the denominations set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Payment

Brazil has agreed that it will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, each of the debt securities and any other payment to be made by

-5-

Brazil under the debt securities and the indenture. For each series of debt securities, Brazil will arrange for payments on global debt securities by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the applicable clearing system, or to its nominee or common depositary, as the registered owner or bearer of the debt securities, which will receive the funds for distribution to the holders. Brazil will arrange for these payments by paying or causing to be paid to the account of the trustee the funds in time for payments to be made on the global debt securities when due. See “Debt Securities—Global Securities” below.

Brazil will arrange for payments to be made on registered certificated debt securities on the specified payment dates to the registered holders of the debt securities. Payments of principal, and premium, if any, will be made against surrender of the debt securities at the offices of the trustee, unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. Brazil will arrange for payments of interest to be made by check mailed to the registered holders of the debt securities at their registered addresses. So long as the trustee has received from Brazil the funds required for the payment of the amounts due in respect of the debt securities and such funds are available to holders of the debt securities in accordance with the terms of the debt securities and the indenture and holders of the debt securities are not prevented from claiming such funds in accordance with the terms of the debt securities and the indenture, Brazil shall not be considered to have defaulted in its obligation to make payment of such amounts on the date on which such amounts become due and payable.

The register of holders of debt securities will be kept at the New York office of the trustee.

Negative Pledge

Brazil undertakes with respect to each series of debt securities that, as long as any debt securities of that series remain outstanding or any amount payable under that series remains unpaid, it will not create or permit to subsist any Lien on Brazil’s assets, present or future revenues or properties to secure any Public External Indebtedness of Brazil, unless:

• the debt securities of that series are secured equally and ratably with that Public External Indebtedness; or

• the debt securities of that series have the benefit of another security, guarantee, indemnity or other arrangement as approved by the holders of the debt securities of that series as provided under the heading “Meetings and Amendments” below.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Brazil may create or permit to subsist:

• Liens created prior to the date of issuance of the debt securities of a particular series, including renewals or refinancings of those Liens,provided, however, that any renewal or refinancing of any those Liens secures only the renewal or extension of the original secured financing;

• Liens securing Public External Indebtedness incurred or assumed by Brazil in connection with a Project Financing,provided, that the property over which those Liens are granted consists solely of assets or revenues of the project for which the Project Financing was incurred;

• Liens securing Public External Indebtedness which:

• are issued by Brazil in exchange for secured debt of Brazilian public sector bodies (other than Brazil); and

• are in an aggregate principal amount outstanding that does not exceed U.S.$25,000,000 (or its equivalent in any other currency).

• Liens securing Public External Indebtedness incurred or assumed by Brazil to finance or refinance the acquisition of the assets on which those Liens have been created or permitted to subsist.

Definitions

“External Indebtedness” means Indebtedness for money borrowed which is payable by its terms or at the option of its holder in any currency other than Brazilian currency (other than any such Indebtedness that is originally issued within Brazil).

“Indebtedness” means all unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of Brazil in respect of

-6-

money borrowed and guarantees given by Brazil in respect of money borrowed by others.

“Lien” means any lien, pledge, mortgage, security interest or other encumbrance.

“Project Financing” means any financing of all or part of the costs of the acquisition, construction or development of any project and the person or persons providing such financing expressly agree to limit their recourse to the project financed and the revenues derived from such project as the principal source of repayment for the monies advanced.

“Public External Indebtedness” means any Public Indebtedness of Brazil which is payable by its terms or at the option of its holder in any currency other than Brazilian currency (other than such Public Indebtedness that is originally issued within Brazil); settlement of original issuance by delivery of Public Indebtedness (or the instruments evidencing such Public Indebtedness including by means of a book entry system) within Brazil shall be deemed to be original issuance within Brazil.

“Public Indebtedness” means any payment obligation, including any contingent liability, of any person arising from bonds, debentures, notes or other securities which:

• are, or were intended at the time of issuance to be, quoted, listed or traded on any securities exchange or other securities market (including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the United States Securities Act of 1933 (or any successor law or regulation of similar effect)); and

• have an original maturity of more than one year or are combined with a commitment so that the original maturity of one year or less may be extended at the option of Brazil to a period in excess of one year.

Default and Acceleration of Maturity

Any of the following events will be an event of default with respect to any series of debt securities:

(a) a default by Brazil in any payment of principal of, premium, if any, on, or interest on any debt securities of a series, which continues for 30 days after such payment was due;

(b) a default which is materially prejudicial to the interests of the holders of the debt securities of that series in the performance of any other obligation under the debt securities of that series, which continues for 60 days after the written notice requiring such default to be remedied is given by the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of debt securities of that series then outstanding;

(c) an acceleration of in excess of U.S.$25,000,000 (or its equivalent in any other currency) in aggregate principal amount of Public External Indebtedness of Brazil by reason of an event of default (however described) arising from Brazil’s failure to make any payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest under that Public External Indebtedness when due;

(d) a failure of Brazil to make any payment in respect of the Public External Indebtedness of Brazil in an aggregate principal amount in excess of U.S.$25,000,000 (or its equivalent in any other currency) when due (as such date may be extended by virtue of any applicable grace period or waiver), which continues for 30 days after the written notice requiring such default to be remedied is given by the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of that series then outstanding;

(e) a declaration by Brazil of a moratorium with respect to the payment of principal of, premium, if any, on, or interest on Public External Indebtedness of Brazil which does not expressly exclude the debt securities of that series and which is materially prejudicial to the interests of the holders of the debt securities of that series; or

(f) a denial by Brazil of its obligations under the debt securities of that series.

If any of the events of default described above occurs and is continuing, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of the series then outstanding may declare all the debt securities of that series to be due and payable immediately by giving written notice to Brazil, with a copy to the trustee.

-7-

Holders holding debt securities representing in the aggregate more than 50% of the principal amount of thethen-outstanding debt securities of that series may waive any existing defaults and their consequences on behalf of the holders of all of the debt securities of that series if:

• following the declaration that the principal of the debt securities of that series has become due and payable immediately, Brazil deposits with the trustee a sum sufficient to pay all outstanding amounts then due on those debt securities (other than principal due by virtue of the acceleration upon the event of default) together with interest on such amounts through the date of the deposit as well as the reasonable fees and compensation of the holders that declared those debt securities due and payable, the trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel; and

• all events of default (other thannon-payment of principal that became due by virtue of the acceleration upon the event of default) have been remedied.

Redemption and Repurchase

Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities will not be redeemable prior to maturity at the option of Brazil or the registered holders of these debt securities.

Brazil may at any time purchase debt securities in any manner and for any consideration. These debt securities purchased by Brazil may, at its discretion, be held, resold or cancelled.

Trustee

The indenture establishes the obligations and duties of the trustee, the right to indemnification of the trustee and the liability and responsibility, including limitations thereof, for actions that the trustee takes. The trustee may become the owner or pledgee of debt securities with the same rights it would have if it were not the trustee and is entitled to enter into business transactions with Brazil or any of its affiliates without accounting for any profit resulting from such transactions.

Paying Agent; Transfer Agents; Registrar

Brazil may appoint paying agents, transfer agents and a registrar with respect to each series of debt securities, as provided for in the relevant debt security, which will be listed at the back of the relevant prospectus supplement. Brazil may appoint other paying agents, transfer agents and registrars with respect to a series.

Meetings and Amendments

Brazil may call a meeting of the holders of debt securities of a series at any time regarding the indenture or the debt securities of the series. Brazil will determine the time and place of the meeting. Brazil will notify the holders of the time, place and purpose of the meeting not less than 30 and not more than 60 days before the meeting.

In addition, Brazil or the trustee will call a meeting of holders of debt securities of a series if the holders of at least 10% in principal amount of all debt securities of the series then outstanding have delivered a written request to Brazil or the trustee (with a copy to Brazil) setting out the purpose of the meeting. Within 10 days of receipt of such written request or copy thereof, Brazil will notify the trustee and the trustee will notify the holders of the time, place and purpose of the meeting called by the holders, to take place not less than 30 and not more than 60 days after the date on which such notification is given.

Only holders and their proxies are entitled to vote at a meeting of holders. Brazil will set the procedures governing the conduct of the meeting and if additional procedures are required, Brazil will consult with the trustee to establish such procedures as are customary in the market.

Modifications may also be approved by holders of debt securities of a series pursuant to written action with the consent of the requisite percentage of debt securities of such series. Brazil will solicit the consent of the relevant holders to the modification not less than 10 and not more than 30 days before the expiration date for the receipt of such consents as specified by Brazil.

The holders may generally approve any proposal by Brazil to modify the indenture or the terms of the debt securities of a series with the affirmative vote (if

-8-

approved at a meeting of the holders) or consent (if approved by written action) of holders of more than 50% of the outstanding principal amount of the debt securities of that series.

However, holders may approve, by vote or consent through one of three modification methods, any proposed modification by Brazil that would do any of the following (such subjects referred to as “reserve matters”):

• change the date on which any amount is payable on the debt securities;

• reduce the principal amount (other than in accordance with the express terms of the debt securities and the indenture) of the debt securities;

• reduce the interest rate on the debt securities;

• change the method used to calculate any amount payable on the debt securities (other than in accordance with the express terms of the debt securities and the indenture);

• change the currency or place of payment of any amount payable on the debt securities;

• modify Brazil’s obligation to make any payments on the debt securities (including any redemption price therefor);

• change the identity of the obligor under the debt securities;

• change the definition of “outstanding” or the percentage of affirmative votes or written consents, as the case may be, required to make a “reserve matter modification”;

• change the definition of “uniformly applicable” or “reserve matter modification”;

• authorize the trustee, on behalf of all holders of the debt securities, to exchange or substitute all the debt securities for, or convert all the debt securities into, other obligations or securities of Brazil or any other person; or

• change the legal ranking, governing law, agreement to arbitrate, submission to jurisdiction in Brazil or waiver of

immunities provisions of the terms of the debt securities.

A change to a reserve matter, including the payment terms of any series of debt securities, can be made without your consent, as long as the change is approved, pursuant to one of the three following modification methods, by vote or consent by:

• the holders of more than 75% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of a series affected by the proposed modification;

• where such proposed modification would affect the outstanding debt securities of two or more series (a“cross-series modification”), the holders of more than 75% of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding debt securities of all of the series affected by the proposed modification, taken in the aggregate, if certain “uniformly applicable” requirements are met (a“cross-series modification with single aggregated voting”); or

• where such proposed modification would affect the outstanding debt securities of two or more series, whether or not certain “uniformly applicable” requirements are met, the holders of more than 66 2/3% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of all of the series affected by the proposed modification, taken in the aggregate, and the holders of more than 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each series affected by the modification, taken individually (a“cross-series modification withtwo-tier voting”).

“uniformly applicable,” as referred to above, in the context of a proposedcross-series modification, means a modification by which holders of debt securities of any series affected by that modification are invited to exchange, convert or substitute their debt securities on the same terms for (x) the same new instruments or other consideration or (y) new instruments or other consideration from an identical menu of instruments or other consideration. A modification will not be considered to be uniformly applicable if each exchanging, converting or

-9-

substituting holder of debt securities of any series affected by that modification is not offered the same amount of consideration per amount of principal, the same amount of consideration per amount of interest accrued but unpaid and the same amount of consideration per amount of past due interest, respectively, as that offered to each other exchanging, converting or substituting holder of debt securities of any series affected by that modification (or, where a menu of instruments or other consideration is offered, each exchanging, converting or substituting holder of debt securities of any series affected by that modification is not offered the same amount of consideration per amount of principal, the same amount of consideration per amount of interest accrued but unpaid and the same amount of consideration per amount of past due interest, respectively, as that offered to each other exchanging, converting or substituting holder of debt securities of any series affected by that modification electing the same option under such menu of instruments).

Brazil may select, in its discretion, any modification method for a reserve matter modification in accordance with the indenture and designate which series of debt securities will be included for approval in the aggregate of modifications affecting two or more series of debt securities. Any selection of a modification method or designation of series to be included will be final for the purpose of that vote or consent solicitation.

Across-series modification constituting or including a reserve matter modification to the terms and conditions of the affected debt securities that is not uniformly applicable must be effected pursuant to across-series modification withtwo-tier voting; such across-series modification that is uniformly applicable may be effected pursuant to across-series modification with single aggregated voting or across-series modification withtwo-tier voting, at Brazil’s option.

Before soliciting any consent or vote of any holder of debt securities for any change to a reserve matter, Brazil will provide the following information to the trustee for distribution to the holders of debt securities of any series that would be affected by the proposed modification:

• a description of Brazil’s economic and financial circumstances which are, in

Brazil’s opinion, relevant to the request for the proposed modification, a description of Brazil’s existing debts and description of any broad policy reform program and provisional macroeconomic outlook;

• if Brazil shall at the time have entered into an arrangement for financial assistance with multilateral and/or other major creditors or creditor groups and/or an agreement with any such creditors regarding debt relief, (x) a description of any such arrangement or agreement and (y) where permitted under the information disclosure policies of the multilateral or other creditors, as applicable, a copy of the arrangement or agreement;

• a description of Brazil’s proposed treatment of external debt instruments that are not affected by the proposed modification and its intentions with respect to any other major creditor groups; and

• if Brazil is then seeking any reserve matter modification affecting any other series of debt securities, a description of that proposed modification.

For purposes of determining whether the required percentage of holders of the debt securities of a series has approved any amendment, modification or change to, or waiver of, the debt securities or the indenture, or whether the required percentage of holders has delivered a notice of acceleration of the debt securities of that series, debt securities will be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding and may not be counted in a vote or consent solicitation for or against a proposed modification if on the record date for the proposed modification or other action or instruction hereunder, the debt security is held by Brazil or by a public sector instrumentality or by a corporation, trust or other legal entity that is controlled by Brazil or by a public sector instrumentality, except that (x) debt securities held by Brazil or any public sector instrumentality of Brazil or by a corporation, trust or other legal entity that is controlled by Brazil or a public sector instrumentality which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such debt securities and that the pledgee is not Brazil or a public sector instrumentality, and in case of a

-10-

dispute concerning such right, the advice of counsel shall be full protection in respect of any decision made by the trustee in accordance with such advice and any certificate, statement or opinion of counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters or information that is in the possession of the trustee, upon the certificate, statement or opinion of or representations by the trustee; and (y) in determining whether the trustee will be protected in relying upon any such action or instructions hereunder, or any notice from holders, only debt securities that a responsible officer of the trustee knows to be so owned or controlled will be so disregarded.

As used in the preceding paragraph, “public sector instrumentality” means any department, ministry or agency of Brazil, and “control” means the power, directly or indirectly, through the ownership of voting securities or other ownership interests, by contract or otherwise, to direct the management of or elect or appoint a majority of the board of directors or other persons performing similar functions in lieu of, or in addition to, the board of directors of that legal entity.

Certain Amendments Not Requiring Holder Consent.

Brazil and the trustee may, without the vote or consent of any holder of debt securities of a series, amend the indenture or the debt securities of the series for the purpose of:

• adding to Brazil’s covenants for the benefit of the holders;

• surrendering any of Brazil’s rights or powers with respect to the debt securities of that series;

• securing the debt securities of that series;

• curing any ambiguity or curing, correcting or supplementing any defective provision in the debt securities of that series or the indenture;

• amending the debt securities of that series or the indenture in any manner that Brazil and the trustee may determine and that does not materially adversely affect the interests of any holders of the debt securities of that series; or

• correcting a manifest error of a formal, minor or technical nature.

Judgment Currency

If a court or arbitral tribunal renders a judgment or order in respect of amounts due to a holder of a debt security and this judgment or order permits Brazil to pay those amounts in a currency (the “judgment currency”) other than the currency in which the debt security is denominated (the “debt security currency”), Brazil will pay any deficiency arising or resulting from any variation in the rates of exchange between the date as of which the amount in the debt security currency is notionally converted into the amount in the judgment currency for the purposes of this judgment or order and the date of actual payment of this judgment or order.

Tax Withholding; Payment of Additional Amounts

Brazil will make all principal, premium, if any, and interest payments on the debt securities of each series without deducting or withholding any present or future Brazilian taxes, assessments or other governmental charges unless the deduction or withholding is required by law. In the event that Brazil is required to make any such deductions, it will pay the holders of the debt securities the additional amounts necessary to ensure that such holders receive the same amount as they would have received in the absence of such withholding or deduction.

Brazil will not, however, pay any additional amounts in connection with any Brazilian tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed due to any of the following:

• a holder or beneficial owner having some present or former connection with Brazil other than the mere holding of that debt security or being the beneficial owner of the debt securities or the receipt of payments of any nature on the debt securities or enforcing its rights with respect to the debt securities;

• the failure of the holder or beneficial owners of that debt security to comply with any certification, identification or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with Brazil of that holder or beneficial owner as a precondition to exemption from those Brazilian taxes, assessments or other governmental charges; or

-11-

• the holder, beneficial owner or any other person through which the holder or beneficial owner holds the debt security having presented for payment more than 30 days after the Relevant Date except to the extent that such holder, beneficial owner or such other person would have been entitled to additional amounts on presenting such debt security for payment on the last day of such30-day period.

The term “Relevant Date” in respect of any debt security means either the date on which payment in respect of the debt security first becomes due or, if the full amount of the money payable has not been received by the trustee on or prior to such due date, the date on which notice is given to the holders of debt securities that the full amount of those monies has been received and is available for payment.

Any reference in this section to “principal,” “premium,” if any, and “interest” includes any additional amounts which may be payable under the debt securities.

Global Securities

The prospectus supplement that relates to your debt securities indicates whether any of the debt securities you purchase will be represented by a global security. The aggregate principal amount of any global security equals the sum of the principal amount of all the debt securities it represents. The global security will be registered in the name of the depositary identified in the prospectus supplement or its nominee, and will be deposited with the depositary or its nominee.

Limitations on Your Ability to Obtain Debt Securities Registered in Your Name.The global security will not be registered in the name of any person other than the depositary or its nominee. Similarly, the global security will not be exchanged for debt securities that are registered in the name of any person other than the depositary or its nominee. An exception to these restrictions would be made only if:

• the depositary notifies Brazil that it is unwilling, unable or no longer qualified to continue to act as depositary or ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the U.S.

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Brazil does not appoint a successor depositary within 90 days of receiving notice from the depositary or becoming aware of such ineligibility;

• the trustee institutes or is directed to institute any judicial proceeding in a court or arbitral proceeding to enforce the rights of the holders with respect to the debt securities represented by the global security and the trustee has been advised by counsel that in connection with such proceeding it is necessary or appropriate for the trustee to obtain possession of the debt securities, the trustee may in its sole discretion determine that the series of debt securities represented by a global security will no longer be represented by a global security; or

• at any time Brazil decides it no longer wishes to have all or part of the debt securities represented by a global security.

In those circumstances, the depositary will authenticate and deliver a certificated (physical) debt security issued in exchange for the global security. These certificated (physical) debt securities will be issued:

• only in fully registered form; and

• without interest coupons.

The depositary or its nominee will be considered the sole owner and holder of the global security for all purposes. As a result:

• You cannot get debt securities registered in your name for so long as they are represented by the global security;

• You cannot receive certificated (physical) debt securities in your name in exchange for your beneficial interest in the global security;

• You will not be considered to be the owner or holder of the global security or any debt securities represented by the global security for any purpose;

• You cannot assert any right of a holder of the debt securities unless you are authorized by the depositary and the

-12-

participant through which you hold your beneficial interest; and

• All payments on the global security will be made to the depositary or its nominee.

In some jurisdictions, certain types of purchasers (such as some insurance companies) are not permitted to own securities represented by a global security. These laws may limit your ability to sell or transfer your beneficial interest in the global security to these types of purchasers.

Beneficial Interests in and Payments on Global Security.Institutions that have accounts with the depositary or a nominee of the depositary, such as securities brokers and dealers, are called participants. Only participants, and persons that hold beneficial interests through participants, can own a beneficial interest in the global security. The depositary keeps records of the ownership and transfer of beneficial interests in the global security by its participants. In turn, participants keep records of the ownership and transfer of beneficial interests in the global security by other persons (such as their customers). No other records of the ownership and transfer of beneficial interests in the global security will be kept.

When the depositary receives payment of principal or interest on the global security, the depositary is expected to credit its participants’ accounts in amounts that correspond to their respective beneficial interests in the global security. In turn, after the participants’ accounts are credited, the participants are expected to credit the accounts of the owners of beneficial interests in the global security in amounts that correspond to the owners’ respective beneficial interests in the global security.

The depositary and its participants establish policies and procedures that govern payments, transfers, exchanges and other important matters that affect owners of beneficial interests in the global security. The depositary and its participants may change these policies and procedures from time to time. Brazil has no responsibility or liability for the records of owners of beneficial interests in the global security. Also, Brazil is not responsible for maintaining, supervising or reviewing those records or payments. Brazil has no responsibility or liability for any aspect of the relationship between the depositary and its participants or for any aspects of the relationship between participants and owners of beneficial interests in the global security.

WARRANTS

If Brazil issues warrants, it will describe their specific terms in a prospectus supplement. If any warrants are registered with the SEC, Brazil will file a warrant agreement and form of warrant with the SEC. The following description briefly summarizes some of the general terms that apply to warrants. You should read the applicable prospectus supplement, warrant agreement and form of warrant before making your investment decision.

Brazil may issue warrants or other similar securities, either separately or together with debt securities, that would entitle the holder to purchase debt securities or obligate Brazil to repurchase or exchange debt securities. If Brazil issues any warrants, each issue of warrants will be issued under a warrant agreement between Brazil and a bank or trust company, as warrant agent. The terms of any warrant agreement related to the issue of warrants and the specific terms of the issue of warrants will be described in the prospectus supplement that relates to your particular warrants. The prospectus supplement that relates to your particular warrants or other similar securities will describe the following terms:

• the terms listed under the heading “Debt Securities” as they relate to the particular debt securities you have the right to purchase if you exercise your warrants;

• the amount of debt securities each warrant entitles you to purchase if you exercise your warrants and the purchase price of those debt securities;

• the amount and type of debt securities that you may obligate Brazil to purchase or exchange if you exercise your warrants or other securities and the purchase price for those debt securities;

• the procedures you must follow and the conditions you must satisfy to exercise your warrants or other securities;

• the dates on which your right to exercise your warrants or other securities begins and expires;

• whether and under what conditions Brazil may cancel or terminate your warrants or other securities;

-13-

• whether and when your warrants or other securities and any debt securities issued together with your warrants or other securities may be sold or transferred separately;

• whether the certificates that represent the warrants or other securities will be issued in registered or bearer form, whether they will be exchangeable as between such forms and, if issued in registered form, whether the warrants or other securities can be transferred and registered;

• any special United States federal income tax considerations applicable to the issuance of your warrants or other securities; and

• any other terms of such warrants or other securities.

GOVERNING LAW

The indenture and the debt securities will be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to those principles of conflicts of laws that would require the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than the State of New York;providedthat all matters related to the consent of holders and modifications to the indenture or the debt securities will always be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York;provided,further,that the laws of Brazil will govern all matters governing authorization and execution of the indenture and the debt securities by Brazil.

ARBITRATION AND ENFORCEABILITY

Under Brazilian law, Brazil is prohibited from submitting to the jurisdiction of a foreign court for the purposes of adjudication on the merits in any dispute, controversy or claim against Brazil arising out of or relating to the securities. Brazil has agreed, however, that any dispute, controversy or claim between or among any of Brazil, the trustee and any holder arising out of or relating to the securities, including the performance, interpretation, construction, breach, termination or invalidity of the securities, shall be finally settled by arbitration in New York, New York.

Under the terms of the securities, a holder of any security is deemed to have agreed to the use of arbitration to resolve any dispute, controversy or claim against Brazil or the trustee arising out of or relating to the securities unless, with respect to an action against Brazil only, the holder elects to bring a claim in a competent court in Brazil as may be permitted by the terms of the securities. If at the time such claim brought in a competent court in Brazil has been filed an arbitral tribunal has been constituted to resolve a dispute, controversy or claim relating to substantially the same occurrence, transaction, or series of transactions and occurrences, such dispute, controversy or claim shall be resolved pursuant to arbitration.

The decision of any arbitral tribunal shall be final to the fullest extent permitted by law. Brazil has agreed that in any arbitration, it will not raise any defense that it could not raise but for the fact that it is a sovereign state. In the United States, realization upon an arbitral award rendered against Brazil would depend upon the application of the United States Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976, as amended (the “FSIA”).

Brazil has not consented to the jurisdiction of any court outside Brazil in connection with actions arising out of or based on the securities, has not appointed any agent for service of process other than for the purpose of obtaining judicial acceptance of any arbitral award pursuant to the securities in the Superior Court of Justice in Brazil, and has not agreed to waive any defense of sovereign immunity to which it may be entitled in any action or proceeding in any jurisdiction other than in an action brought in Brazil. Brazil has agreed that any process or other legal summons in connection with obtaining judicial acceptance of any arbitral award in the Superior Court of Justice may be served upon it by delivery to theAdvogadoGeral da União(Attorney General) of Brazil or by any other means permissible under the laws of Brazil.

Because Brazil has not waived its sovereign immunity in connection with any action brought outside Brazil arising out of or relating to the securities (including without limitation any action arising out of or based on United States federal or state securities law), it will not be possible to obtain a United States judgment against Brazil unless a court were to determine that (i) Brazil is not entitled under

-14-

the FSIA to sovereign immunity with respect to such actions and (ii) the matter should not be referred to arbitration as contemplated by the securities. Any judgment rendered against Brazil by a court outside Brazil in an action in which Brazil has not submitted to the jurisdiction of such court or otherwise expressly waived its defense of sovereign immunity would not be enforceable against Brazil under its laws.

The enforcement by a Brazilian court of a foreign arbitral award is subject to the recognition of such award by the Superior Court of Justice. The Superior Court of Justice will recognize such an award if all of the required formalities are observed and the award does not contravene Brazilian national sovereignty, public policy and “good morals”. Under Article 100 (formerly Article 67) of the Civil Code of Brazil, the public property of Brazil located in Brazil is not subject to execution or attachment, either prior to or after judgment. The execution of an arbitral award against Brazil, in Brazil is only available in accordance with the procedures set forth in Article 910 of the Civil Procedure Code of Brazil of March 16, 2015, which envisions the registration of the recognized award for inclusion in the budget for payment in a subsequent fiscal year of Brazil.

Recognition of foreign arbitral awards for purposes of enforcement in Brazil may be sought directly in the Superior Court of Justice of Brazil without the need to first convert the arbitral award into a judgment in the place of arbitration.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) with respect to an action against Brazil only, a holder of any security may institute legal proceedings against Brazil in a competent court in Brazil so long as at the time such action has been filed an arbitral tribunal has not been constituted to resolve a dispute, controversy or claim relating to substantially the same occurrence, transaction, or series of transactions and occurrences, and (ii) Brazil has waived any immunity from jurisdiction or execution of judgment in Brazil (except for the limitation on alienation of public property referred to in Article 100 of the Civil Code of Brazil) to which it might otherwise be entitled in any such proceeding.

Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, this “Arbitration and Enforceability” section will apply to securities issued pursuant to this prospectus.

TAXATION

The following is a discussion of certain U.S. federal income and estate tax and European Union tax considerations that may be relevant to you if you invest in the debt securities. This discussion is based on laws, regulations, rulings and decisions now in effect in the United States and on directives now in effect, and proposals for directives, in the European Union, and, in all cases, may change. Any change could apply retroactively and could affect the continued validity of this discussion.

This discussion does not describe all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to you or your situation, particularly if you are subject to special tax rules. You should consult your tax adviser about the tax consequences of holding the debt securities, including the relevance to your particular situation of the considerations discussed below, as well as of state, local or other tax laws.

United States Federal Taxation

The following is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to a holder of a debt security. This summary is based on laws, regulations, rulings and decisions now in effect, all of which are subject to change. This summary deals only with beneficial owners of debt securities that will hold debt securities as capital assets, and does not address particular tax considerations that may be applicable to investors that are subject to special tax rules, such as banks,tax-exempt entities, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, dealers in securities or currencies, traders in securities electing to mark to market, persons that will hold debt securities as a position in a “straddle” or conversion transaction, or as part of a “synthetic security” or other integrated financial transaction, entities taxed as partnerships or the partners therein, persons subject to the alternative minimum tax, U.S. expatriates, nonresident alien individuals present in the United States for more than 182 days in a taxable year, or persons that have a “functional currency” other than the U.S. dollar. Any special U.S. federal income tax considerations relevant to warrants, debt securities that are issued in combination with warrants or a particular issue of debt securities, including any indexed debt securities, will be provided in the applicable prospectus supplement.

This summary addresses only U.S. federal income tax consequences, and does not address consequences arising under state, local, foreign tax laws or the Medicare tax on net investment income. Investors should consult their own tax advisors in determining the tax consequences to them of holding debt securities under such tax laws, as well as the application to their particular situation of the U.S. federal income tax considerations discussed below.

As used herein, a “U.S. holder” is a beneficial owner of a debt security that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a citizen or resident of the United States or a domestic corporation or that otherwise is subject to U.S. federal income taxation on a net income basis in respect of the debt security. A“non-U.S. holder” is a beneficial owner of a debt security that is an individual, corporation, foreign estate, or foreign trust, that is not a U.S. holder.

Under recently enacted legislation, U.S. holders that use an accrual method of accounting for tax purposes generally will be required to include certain amounts in income no later than the time such amounts are reflected on certain financial statements. The application of this rule thus may require the accrual of income earlier than would be the case under the general tax rules described below, although the precise application of this rule is unclear at this time. This rule generally will be effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 or, for debt securities issued with original issue discount (as defined below), for tax years beginning after December 31, 2018. U.S. holders that use an accrual method of accounting should consult with their tax advisors regarding the potential applicability of this legislation to their particular situation.

U.S. Holders

Payments of Interest and Additional Amounts. The gross amount of payments of “qualified stated interest” (as defined below under “—Original Issue Discount”) and additional amounts, if any (i.e., without reduction for Brazilian withholding taxes), but excluding anypre-issuance accrued interest, will be taxable to a U.S. holder as ordinary interest income at the time that such payments are accrued or are received (in accordance with the U.S. holder’s method of tax accounting). If payments of this kind are made with respect to a debt security denominated in a single currency other than the U.S. dollar (a “Foreign Currency Debt Security”), the amount of

interest income realized by a U.S. holder that uses the cash method of tax accounting will be the U.S. dollar value of the specified currency payment based on the exchange rate in effect on the date of receipt regardless of whether the payment in fact is converted into U.S. dollars. A U.S. holder that uses the accrual method of accounting for tax purposes will accrue interest income on the debt security in the relevant foreign currency and translate the amount accrued into U.S. dollars based on the average exchange rate in effect during the interest accrual period (or portion thereof within the U.S. holder’s taxable year), or, at the accrual basis U.S. holder’s election, at the spot rate of exchange on the last day of the accrual period (or the last day of the taxable year within such accrual period if the accrual period spans more than one taxable year), or at the spot rate of exchange on the date of receipt, if this date is within five business days of the last day of the accrual period. A U.S. holder that makes this election must apply it consistently to all debt instruments from year to year and cannot change the election without the consent of the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”). A U.S. holder that uses the accrual method of accounting for tax purposes will recognize foreign currency gain or loss, as the case may be, on the receipt of an interest payment made with respect to a Foreign Currency Debt Security if the exchange rate in effect on the date the payment is received differs from the rate applicable to a previous accrual of that interest income. Amounts attributable topre-issuance accrued interest will generally not be includable in income, except to the extent of foreign currency gain or loss attributable to any changes in exchange rates during the period between the date the U.S. Holder acquired the debt security and the first interest payment date. This foreign currency gain or loss will be treated as ordinary income or loss but generally will not be treated as an adjustment to interest income received on the debt security. If payments are made with respect to a debt security denominated in two or more currencies other than the U.S. dollar (a “Multi-Currency Debt Security”), a detailed description of the tax considerations relevant to U.S. holders of any such Multi-Currency Debt Securities will be provided in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Original Issue Discount. If Brazil issues debt securities at a discount from their stated redemption price at maturity (as defined below), and the discount is equal to or more than the product ofone-fourth of

-16-

one percent (0.25 percent) of the stated redemption price at maturity of such debt securities multiplied by the number of full years to their maturity (the “de minimis threshold”), such debt securities will be “Original Issue Discount Debt Securities.” The difference between the issue price and the stated redemption price at maturity of such debt securities will be the “original issue discount” (“OID”). The “issue price” of a debt security will be the first price at which a substantial amount of the debt securities is sold to the public (i.e., excluding sales of the debt securities to underwriters, placement agents, wholesalers, or similar persons). The “stated redemption price at maturity” will include all payments under a debt security other than payments of qualified stated interest. The term “qualified stated interest” generally means stated interest that is unconditionally payable in cash or property (other than debt instruments issued by Brazil) at least annually during the entire term of the debt security at a single fixed interest rate or, subject to certain conditions, based on one or more interest indices.

U.S. holders of Original Issue Discount Debt Securities generally will be subject to special tax accounting rules for obligations issued with OID. U.S. holders of such Debt Securities should be aware that, as described in greater detail below, they generally must include OID in ordinary gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes as it accrues, in advance of the receipt of cash attributable to that income.

In general, each U.S. holder of an Original Issue Discount Debt Security, regardless of whether the holder uses the cash or the accrual method of tax accounting, will be required to include in ordinary gross income the sum of the “daily portions” of OID on the debt security for all days during the taxable year that the U.S. holder owns the debt security. The daily portions of OID on an Original Issue Discount Debt Security are determined by allocating to each day in any accrual period a ratable portion of the OID allocable to that accrual period. Accrual periods may be any length and may vary in length over the term of an Original Issue Discount Debt Security, provided that no accrual period is longer than one year and each scheduled payment of principal or interest occurs on either the final day or the first day of an accrual period. In the case of an initial holder, the amount of OID on an Original Issue Discount Debt Security allocable to each accrual period is

determined by (a) multiplying the “adjusted issue price” (as defined below) of the Original Issue Discount Debt Security at the beginning of the accrual period by its yield to maturity (appropriately adjusted to reflect the length of the accrual period) and (b) subtracting from that product the amount (if any) of qualified stated interest allocable to that accrual period. The “yield to maturity” of a debt security is the discount rate that causes the present value of all payments on the debt security as of its original issue date to equal the issue price of the debt security. The “adjusted issue price” of an Original Issue Discount Debt Security at the beginning of any accrual period will generally be the sum of its issue price (generally including accrued interest, if any) and the amount of OID allocable to all prior accrual periods, reduced by the amount of all payments other than payments of qualified stated interest (if any) made with respect to the debt security in all prior accrual periods. As a result of this “constant yield” method of including OID in income, the amounts includible in income by a U.S. holder in respect of an Original Issue Discount Debt Security denominated in U.S. dollars generally are lesser in the early years and greater in the later years than the amounts that would be includible on a straight-line basis.

A U.S. holder generally may make an irrevocable election to include in its income its entire return on a debt security (i.e., the excess of all remaining payments to be received on the debt security, including payments of qualified stated interest, over the amount paid by the U.S. holder for the debt security) under the constant-yield method described above. For debt securities purchased at a premium or bearing market discount in the hands of the U.S. holder, the U.S. holder making such election will also be deemed to have made the election (discussed below in “—Premium and Market Discount”) to amortize premium or to accrue market discount in income currently on a constant-yield basis.

In the case of an Original Issue Discount Debt Security that is also a Foreign Currency Debt Security, a U.S. holder should determine the U.S. dollar amount includible in income as OID for each accrual period by (a) calculating the amount of OID allocable to each accrual period in the specified currency using the constant-yield method described above, and (b) translating the amount of the specified currency so derived at the average exchange rate in

-17-

effect during that accrual period (or portion thereof within a U.S. holder’s taxable year) or, at the U.S. holder’s election (as described above under “—Payments of Interest”), at the spot rate of exchange on the last day of the accrual period (or the last day of the taxable year within such accrual period if the accrual period spans more than one taxable year), or at the spot rate of exchange on the date of receipt, if that date is within five business days of the last day of the accrual period. Because exchange rates may fluctuate, a U.S. holder of an Original Issue Discount Debt Security that is also a Foreign Currency Debt Security may recognize a different amount of OID income in each accrual period than would the holder of an otherwise similar Original Issue Discount Debt Security denominated in U.S. dollars. All payments on an Original Issue Discount Debt Security, other than payments of qualified stated interest, will generally be viewed first as payments of previously accrued OID to the extent thereof, with payments attributed first to the earliest-accrued OID, and then as payments of principal. Upon the receipt of an amount attributable to OID (whether in connection with a payment of an amount that is not qualified stated interest or the sale or retirement of the Original Issue Discount Debt Security), a U.S. holder will recognize ordinary income or loss measured by the difference between the amount received (translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the date of receipt or on the date of disposition of the Original Issue Discount Debt Security, as the case may be) and the amount accrued (using the exchange rate applicable to such previous accrual).

A subsequent U.S. holder of an Original Issue Discount Debt Security that purchases the debt security at a cost less than its remaining redemption amount (as defined below), or an initial U.S. holder that purchases an Original Issue Discount Debt Security at a price other than the debt security’s issue price, also generally will be required to include in gross income the daily portions of OID, calculated as described above. However, if the U.S. holder acquires the Original Issue Discount Debt Security at a price greater than its adjusted issue price, the holder is required to reduce its periodic inclusions of OID income to reflect the premium paid over the adjusted issue price. The “remaining redemption amount” for a debt security is the total of all future payments to be made on the debt security other than payments of qualified stated interest.

Floating rate debt securities generally will be treated as “variable rate debt instruments” under applicable Treasury Regulations. Accordingly, the stated interest on a floating rate debt security generally will be treated as “qualified stated interest” and such a debt security will not have OID solely as a result of the fact that it provides for interest at a variable rate. If a floating rate debt security qualifying as a “variable rate debt instrument” is an Original Issue Discount Debt Security, for purposes of determining the amount of OID allocable to each accrual period under the rules above, the debt security’s “yield to maturity” and “qualified stated interest” will generally be determined as though the debt security bore interest in all periods at a fixed rate determined at the time of issuance of the debt security. Additional rules may apply if interest on a floating rate debt security is based on more than one interest index. If a floating rate debt security does not qualify as a “variable rate debt instrument,” the debt security will be subject to special rules (the “Contingent Payment Regulations”) that govern the tax treatment of debt obligations that provide for contingent payments (“Contingent Debt Obligations”). A detailed description of the tax considerations relevant to U.S. holders of any such debt securities will be provided in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Certain of the debt securities may be subject to special redemption, repayment or interest rate reset features, as indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement. Debt securities containing such features, in particular Original Issue Discount Debt Securities, may be subject to special rules that differ from the general rules discussed above. Purchasers of debt securities with such features should carefully examine the applicable prospectus supplement and should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the debt securities since the tax consequences with respect to such features, and especially with respect to OID, will depend, in part, on the particular terms of the debt securities.

If a debt security provides for a scheduled accrual period that is longer than one year (for example, as a result of a long initial period on a debt security with interest is generally paid on an annual basis), then stated interest on the debt security will generally not qualify as “qualified stated interest” under the applicable Treasury Regulations. As a result, the debt security would be an Original Issue

-18-

Discount Debt Security. In that event, among other things, cash-method U.S. holders will be required to accrue stated interest on the debt security under the rules for OID described above, and all U.S. holders will be required to accrue OID that would otherwise fall under the de minimis threshold.

Purchase, Sale and Retirement of Debt Securities. A U.S. holder’s tax basis in a debt security generally will equal the cost of such debt security to such holder, increased by any amounts includible in income by the holder as original issue discount and market discount and reduced by any amortized premium (each as described below) and any payments other than payments of qualified stated interest made on such debt security. In the case of a Foreign Currency Debt Security, the cost of such debt security to a U.S. holder will be the U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency purchase price on the date of purchase. In the case of a Foreign Currency Debt Security that is traded on an established securities market, a cash basis U.S. holder (and, if it so elects, an accrual basis U.S. holder) will determine the U.S. dollar value of the cost of such debt security by translating the amount paid at the spot rate of exchange on the settlement date of the purchase. The amount of any subsequent adjustments to a U.S. holder’s tax basis in a debt security in respect of original issue discount, market discount and premium denominated in a specified currency will be determined in the manner described under “Original Issue Discount” above and “Premium and Market Discount” below. The conversion of U.S. dollars to a specified currency and the immediate use of the specified currency to purchase a Foreign Currency Debt Security generally will not result in taxable gain or loss for a U.S. holder.

Upon the sale, exchange or retirement of a debt security, a U.S. holder generally will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale, exchange or retirement (less any accrued qualified stated interest, which will be taxable as such) and the U.S. holder’s tax basis in such debt security. If a U.S. holder receives a currency other than the U.S. dollar in respect of the sale, exchange or retirement of a debt security, the amount realized will be the U.S. dollar value of the specified currency received calculated at the exchange rate in effect on the date the instrument is disposed of or retired. In the case of a Foreign Currency Debt Security that is traded on an

established securities market, a cash basis U.S. holder, and if it so elects, an accrual basis U.S. holder will determine the U.S. dollar value of the amount realized by translating such amount at the spot rate on the settlement date of the sale. The election available to accrual basis U.S. holders in respect of the purchase and sale of Foreign Currency Debt Securities traded on an established securities market, discussed above, must be applied consistently to all debt instruments from year to year and cannot be changed without the consent of the IRS.

Except as discussed below with respect to market discount and foreign currency gain or loss, gain or loss recognized by a U.S. holder generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder has held the debt securities for more than one year at the time of disposition. Long-term capital gains recognized by an individual holder generally are subject to tax at a lower rate than short-term capital gains or ordinary income. The deduction of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Gain or loss recognized by a U.S. holder on the sale, exchange or retirement of a Foreign Currency Debt Security generally will be treated as ordinary income or loss to the extent that the gain or loss is attributable to changes in exchange rates during the period in which the holder held such debt security. This foreign currency gain or loss will not be treated as an adjustment to interest income received on the debt securities.

Premium and Market Discount. A U.S. holder of a debt security that purchases the debt security at a cost greater than its remaining redemption amount (as defined under “Original Issue Discount,” above) will be considered to have purchased the debt security at a premium, and may elect to amortize the premium (as an offset to interest income), using a constant-yield method, over the remaining term of the debt security. Such election, once made, generally applies to all bonds held or subsequently acquired by the U.S. holder on or after the first taxable year to which the election applies and may not be revoked without the consent of the IRS. A U.S. holder that elects to amortize the premium must reduce its tax basis in a debt security by the amount of the premium amortized during its holding period. Original Issue Discount Debt Securities purchased at a premium will not be subject to the OID rules described above. In the case of premium in respect of a Foreign

-19-

Currency Debt Security, a U.S. holder should calculate the amortization of the premium in the specified currency. Amortization deductions attributable to a period reduce interest payments in respect of that period and therefore are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate used by the U.S. holder for such interest payments. Exchange gain or loss will be realized with respect to amortized bond premium on such a debt security based on the difference between the exchange rate on the date or dates the premium is recovered through interest payments on the debt security and the exchange rate on the date on which the U.S. holder acquired the debt security. With respect to a U.S. holder that does not elect to amortize bond premium, the amount of bond premium will be included in the U.S. holder’s tax basis when the debt security matures or is disposed of by the U.S. holder. Therefore, a U.S. holder that does not elect to amortize such premium and that holds the debt security to maturity generally will be required to treat the premium as capital loss when the debt security matures.

If a U.S. holder of a debt security purchases the debt security at a price that is lower than its remaining redemption amount, or in the case of an Original Issue Discount Debt Security, a price that is lower than its adjusted issue price, by at least 0.25% of its remaining redemption amount multiplied by the number of remaining whole years to maturity, the debt security will be considered to have “market discount” in the hands of such U.S. holder. In such case, gain realized by the U.S. holder on the disposition of the debt security generally will be treated as ordinary income to the extent of the market discount that accrued on the debt security while held by the U.S. holder. In addition, the U.S. holder could be required to defer the deduction of a portion of the interest paid on any indebtedness incurred or maintained to purchase or carry the debt security. In general terms, market discount on a debt security will be treated as accruing ratably over the term of the debt security, or, at the election of the holder, under a constant-yield method. Market discount on a Foreign Currency Debt Security will be accrued by a U.S. holder in the specified currency. The amount includible in income by a U.S. holder in respect of such accrued market discount will be the U.S. dollar value of the amount accrued, generally calculated at the exchange rate in effect on the date that the debt security is disposed of by the U.S. holder.

A U.S. holder may elect to include market discount in income on a current basis as it accrues (on either a ratable or constant-yield basis), in lieu of treating a portion of any gain realized on a sale of a debt security as ordinary income. If a U.S. holder elects to include market discount on a current basis, the interest deduction deferral rule described above will not apply. Any accrued market discount on a Foreign Currency Debt Security that is currently includible in income will be translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rate for the accrual period (or portion thereof within the U.S. holder’s taxable year). Any such election, if made, applies to all market discount bonds acquired by the taxpayer on or after the first day of the first taxable year to which such election applies and is revocable only with the consent of the IRS.

Short-Term Debt Securities. The rules set forth above will also generally apply to debt securities having maturities of not more than one year (“Short-Term Debt Securities”), but with certain modifications.

First, applicable Treasury Regulations treat none of the interest on a Short-Term Debt Security as qualified stated interest. Thus, all Short-Term Debt Securities will be Original Issue Discount Debt Securities. OID will be treated as accruing on a Short-Term Debt Security ratably, or at the election of a U.S. holder, under a constant yield method.

Second, a U.S. holder of a Short-Term Debt Security that uses the cash method of tax accounting and is not a bank, securities dealer, regulated investment company or common trust fund, and does not identify the Short-Term Debt Security as part of a hedging transaction, will generally not be required to include OID in income on a current basis. Such a U.S. holder may not be allowed to deduct all of the interest paid or accrued on any indebtedness incurred or maintained to purchase or carry such debt security until the maturity of the debt security or its earlier disposition in a taxable transaction. In addition, the U.S. holder will be required to treat any gain realized on a sale, exchange or retirement of the debt security as ordinary income to the extent such gain does not exceed the OID accrued with respect to the debt security during the period the U.S. holder held the debt security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a cash-basis U.S. holder of a Short-Term Debt Security may elect to accrue OID into income on a current basis or

-20-

to accrue the “acquisition discount” on the debt security under the rules described below. If the U.S. holder elects to accrue OID or acquisition discount, the limitation on the deductibility of interest described above will not apply.

A U.S. holder using the accrual method of tax accounting and certain cash-basis U.S. holders (including banks, securities dealers, regulated investment companies and common trust funds) generally will be required to include original issue discount on a Short-Term Debt Security in income on a current basis. Alternatively, a U.S. holder of a Short-Term Debt Security can elect to accrue the “acquisition discount,” if any, with respect to the debt security on a current basis. If such an election is made, the OID rules will not apply to the debt security. Acquisition discount is the excess of the Short-Term Debt Security’s stated redemption price at maturity (i.e., all amounts payable on the Short-Term Debt Security) over the purchase price. Acquisition discount will be treated as accruing ratably or, at the election of the U.S. holder, under a constant-yield method based on daily compounding.

Finally, the market discount rules will not apply to a Short-Term Debt Security.

Indexed Debt Securities and Other Debt Securities Providing for Contingent Payments. The Contingent Payment Regulations, which govern the tax treatment of Contingent Debt Obligations, generally require accrual of interest income on a constant-yield basis in respect of such obligations at a yield determined at the time of their issuance, and may require adjustments to such accruals when any contingent payments are made. A detailed description of the tax considerations relevant to U.S. holders of any Contingent Debt Obligations will be provided in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Foreign Currency Debt Securities and Reportable Transactions. A U.S. holder that participates in a “reportable transaction” will be required to disclose its participation to the IRS. The scope and application of these rules is not entirely clear. A U.S. holder may be required to treat a foreign currency exchange loss relating to a Foreign Currency Debt Security as a reportable transaction if the loss exceeds $50,000 in a single taxable year if the U.S. holder is an individual or trust, or higher amounts for other U.S. holders. In the event the acquisition, ownership or disposition of a Foreign

Currency Debt Security constitutes participation in a “reportable transaction” for purposes of these rules, a U.S. holder will be required to disclose its investment to the IRS, currently on Form 8886. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of these rules to the acquisition, ownership or disposition of Foreign Currency Debt Securities.

Specified foreign financial assets. Individual U.S. holders that own “specified foreign financial assets” with an aggregate value in excess of $50,000 are generally required to file an information statement along with their tax returns, currently on Form 8938, with respect to such assets. “Specified foreign financial assets” include any financial accounts held at anon-U.S. financial institution, as well as securities issued by anon-U.S. issuer (which may include debt securities issued in certificated form) that are not held in accounts maintained by financial institutions. Higher reporting thresholds apply to certain individuals living abroad and to certain married individuals. Regulations extend this reporting requirement to certain entities that are treated as formed or availed of to hold direct or indirect interests in specified foreign financial assets based on certain objective criteria. U.S. holders that fail to report the required information could be subject to substantial penalties. In addition, the statute of limitations for assessment of tax would be suspended, in whole or part. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors concerning the application of these rules to their investment in the debt securities, including the application of the rules to their particular circumstances.

Non-U.S. Holders

Payments of Interest. Subject to the discussions below under “—Information Reporting and Backup Withholding,” payments of interest on the debt securities to anon-U.S. holder generally will be exempt from U.S. federal income taxes, including withholding tax. However, to receive this exemption anon-U.S. holder may be required to satisfy certification requirements, described below under “—Information Reporting and Backup Withholding,” to establish that it is not a U.S. holder.

Purchase, Sale and Retirement of Debt Securities. Subject to the discussions below under “—Information Reporting and Backup Withholding,” anon-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to

-21-

U.S. federal income tax on gain recognized on a sale, exchange or other disposition of debt securities.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

If payments on the debt securities are made through a U.S. payor or U.S. intermediary, information returns will be filed with the IRS in connection with payments on the debt securities made to, and the proceeds of dispositions of debt securities effected by, certain U.S. taxpayers. In addition, certain U.S. taxpayers may be subject to backup withholding in respect of such amounts if they do not provide their taxpayer identification numbers to the person from whom they receive payments.Non-U.S. taxpayers may be required to comply with applicable certification procedures to establish that they are not U.S. taxpayers in order to avoid the application of such information reporting requirements and backup withholding. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a U.S. ornon-U.S. taxpayer will be allowed as a credit against the holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle the holder to a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

European Union Taxation

The Proposed Financial Transaction Tax

The European Commission has published a proposal (the “Commission’s Proposal”) for a Directive for a common financial transaction tax (“FTT”) in Austria, Belgium, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia and Spain (the “participating Member States”). However, Estonia has since stated that it will not participate.

The Commission’s Proposal has very broad scope and could, if introduced in its current form, apply to certain dealings in the securities in certain circumstances.

Under the Commission’s Proposal, the FTT could apply in certain circumstances to persons both within and outside of the participating Member States. Generally, it would apply to certain dealings in the securities where at least one party is a financial institution, and at least one party is established in a participating Member State. A financial institution

may be, or be deemed to be, “established” in a participating Member State in a broad range of circumstances, including (a) by transacting with a person established in a participating Member State or (b) where the financial instrument which is subject to the dealings is issued in a participating Member State.

The FTT remains subject to negotiation between participating Member States and the legality of the proposal is uncertain. It may therefore be altered prior to any implementation, the timing of which remains unclear. Additional EU Member States may decide to participate and/or certain of the participating Member States may decide to withdraw.

Prospective holders of the securities are advised to seek their own professional advice in relation to the FTT.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Brazil may sell any combination of the debt securities and/or warrants or other similar securities in any of three ways:

• through underwriters or dealers;

• directly to one or more purchasers; or

• through agents.

Each prospectus supplement will set forth:

• the name or names of any underwriters or agents;

• the purchase price of the securities of that series;

• the net proceeds to Brazil from the sale of these securities;

• any underwriting discounts, agent commissions or other items constituting underwriters’ or agents’ compensation;

• any initial public offering price;

• any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers; and

• any securities exchanges on which the securities may be listed.

-22-

The securities may be sold from time to time in distinct series by different means at different prices that are negotiated and fixed or that vary based on market prices.

Underwriters used in the sale of securities will distribute the securities on a firm commitment basis. In this case, the underwriters will acquire the securities for their own account and may resell them from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices to be determined at the time of sale. Brazil may offer the securities to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or directly by underwriters. Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to certain conditions precedent and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all such securities if any are purchased.

Brazil may also sell securities of any series directly to the public or through agents designated by Brazil from time to time. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, an agent used in the sale of securities will sell the securities on a reasonable best efforts basis for the period of its appointment.

Brazil may authorize agents, underwriters or dealers to solicit offers by certain specified entities to purchase the securities from Brazil under “delayed delivery” contracts. Purchasers of securities under delayed delivery contracts will pay the public offering price plus accrued interest, if any, and will take delivery of these securities on a date or dates stated in the applicable prospectus supplement. Delayed delivery contracts will be subject only to those conditions set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. The applicable prospectus supplement will set forth the commission payable for solicitation of these delayed delivery contracts.

Brazil may offer the securities of any series to present holders of other securities of Brazil as consideration for the purchase or exchange by Brazil of other securities. This offer may be in connection with a publicly announced tender, exchange or other offer for the securities or in privately negotiated transactions. This offering may be in addition to or in lieu of sales of securities directly or through

underwriters or agents as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Brazil may agree to indemnify agents and underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the United States Securities Act of 1933, or to contribute to payments which the agents or underwriters may be required to make in respect of any of these liabilities. Agents and underwriters may engage in transactions with or perform services for Brazil in the ordinary course of business.

WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION

Brazil voluntarily files annual reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. These reports and any amendments to these reports include certain financial, statistical and other information about Brazil, and may be accompanied by exhibits. You may read and copy any document Brazil files with the SEC at the SEC’s public reference room in Washington, D.C. Brazil’s SEC filings are also available to the public from the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. Please call the SEC at1-800-SEC-0330 for further information on the public reference room or log on to www.sec.gov.

The SEC allows Brazil to “incorporate by reference” the information Brazil files with it. This means that Brazil can disclose important information to you by referring you to those documents. Information that is incorporated by reference is an important part of this prospectus. Brazil incorporates by reference the following documents:

• Brazil’s Annual Report on Form18-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, as amended.

Brazil also incorporates by reference all future annual reports and amendments to annual reports until it sells all of the debt securities and warrants covered by this prospectus. Each time Brazil files a document with the SEC that is incorporated by reference, the information in that document automatically updates the information contained in previously filed documents.

You may request a free copy of these filings by writing or calling the Embassy of Brazil at the following address:
