The <strong>Bank</strong> has prepared this offering memorandum for use solely in connection with the proposed offering<br />

of the notes outside of Brazil. This offering memorandum is personal to the offeree to whom it has been delivered<br />

by the initial purchasers and does not constitute an offer to any other person or to the public in general to acquire the<br />

notes. Distribution of this offering memorandum to any person other than the offeree and those persons, if any,<br />

retained to advise that offeree with respect thereto, is unauthorized, and any disclosure of any of its contents without<br />

the <strong>Bank</strong>’s prior written consent is prohibited. Each offeree, by accepting delivery of this offering memorandum,<br />

agrees to the foregoing and agrees not to make any photocopies of this offering memorandum in whole or in part.<br />

The <strong>Bank</strong> and the initial purchasers reserve the right to reject any offer to purchase, in whole or in part, for<br />

any reason, or to sell less than all of the notes offered by this offering memorandum.<br />

memorandum is true and accurate in all material respects, that the opinions and intentions it expresses in this<br />
