Terms given a defined meaning in the Base Offering Circular shall, unless the context otherwise requires, have the same meaning when used in this Supplement.

Application may be made to the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority (the "FCA") for Notes issued under the Programme to be admitted to the official list of the UK Listing Authority (the "Official List") and to the London Stock Exchange plc (the "London Stock Exchange") for such Notes to be admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market. For the purposes of any such application, Notes issued under the Programme are exempt from the rules in the Prospectus Rules: Admission to Trading on a Regulated Market sourcebook made in accordance with the Public Offers and Admissions to Trading Regulations 2024 (together, the "UK Prospectus Regime"). Accordingly, this Supplement has not been reviewed or approved by the FCA and, together with the Base Offering Circular, has not been approved as a base prospectus by any other competent authority under the UK Prospectus Regime. Notes admitted to the Official List and admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market will not be subject to the prospectus requirements of the UK Prospectus Regime but will be issued in accordance with the listing rules of the London Stock Exchange.     

References in this Supplement to Notes being listed (and all related references) shall mean that such Notes have been admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market and have been admitted to the Official List. The London Stock Exchange's main market is a UK regulated market for the purposes of the UK Prospectus Regime.

The purpose of this Supplement is to update the information in the Base Offering Circular to disclose certain material developments in respect of the Issuer.

AMENDMENT TO TAXATION

Following the revocation of Article 27.3 of the Angolan Investment Income Tax Code (approved by Presidential Legislative Decree No. 2/14 of 20 October 2014) pursuant to Article 41.3 of the State Budget of the Republic for 2026, approved by Law No. 14/25 of 30 December 2025, the paragraph of the sub‑heading "The Republic of Angola" under the heading entitled "TAXATION" (commencing on page 278) of the Base Offering Circular shall be entirely replaced with the following:

"The Republic of Angola

The "Imposto sobre a Aplicação de Capitais" or "Capital Investment Tax" applies to income resulting from the application of capital, including (inter alia) payments of interest, redemption premiums or repayment premiums and to other forms of remuneration of bonds, participation titles or other similar titles issued by any company at the following rates (Articles 27.2 and 29 of the Angolan Investment Income Tax - Presidential Legislative Decree No. 2/14 of 20 October 2014):

a.     a 10 per cent. withholding tax over interest / redemption premiums or repayment premiums and to certain other forms of remuneration of bonds; or

b.     a 10 per cent. withholding tax in respect of (inter alia) the same type of interest, redemption premiums or repayment premiums and to certain other forms of remuneration of bonds, provided that these bonds are traded or admitted to negotiation on regulated markets and its issue has a maturity date equal to or exceeding three years.

Accordingly, payments of interest redemption premiums and repayment premiums under the Notes are, pursuant to applicable legislation, subject to a 10 per cent. withholding tax, in respect of which Angola will have a gross-up obligation pursuant to the Condition 8 of the Notes. Pursuant to Condition 8, all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Notes must be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for, any taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by Angola or any regional or local subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax (together "Taxes"), unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. In that event, and subject to certain exceptions, Angola must pay such additional amounts as will result in the receipt by the holders of Notes of such amounts as would have been received by them had no such withholding or deduction been required. See "- Terms and Conditions of the Notes - Taxation".

Article 6 of Legislative Presidential Decree No. 3/14 of 21 October 2014 - Amendment and Republication of the Stamp Duty Code provides that the Republic is exempt from paying stamp duty."

AMENDMENT TO GENERAL INFORMATION

The following entirely replaces the paragraph of the sub-heading entitled "No Significant Change" under the heading entitled "GENERAL INFORMATION" commencing on page 294 of the Base Offering Circular:

"No Significant Change

Since 31 March 2026, except as otherwise disclosed in this Supplement, there has been no significant change in relation to the Issuer's public finances, balance of payments and trade, respectively."
