To the extent the information in this section is inconsistent with the information contained in the Base Offering Circular, the information in this section supersedes and replaces such information.

AMENDMENT TO THE RISK FACTORS

The following entirely replaces the risk factor entitled "The Republic has significantly increased borrowings in recent years, and high levels of debt or failure to adequately manage its debt or to re-finance its debt could have a material adverse effect on Angola's economy and its ability to repay its debt, including the Notes." within the section entitled "RISK FACTORS - FACTORS WHICH ARE MATERIAL FOR THE PURPOSE OF ASSESSING RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH ANGOLA - Risks relating to Angola's financial condition from internal events, exposures or factors" commencing on page 20 of the Base Offering Circular:

"The Republic has significantly increased borrowings in recent years, and high levels of debt or failure to adequately manage its debt or to re-finance its debt could have a material adverse effect on Angola's economy and its ability to repay its debt, including the Notes.

The Government has estimated that it needs to raise U.S.$14.9 billion (16.3 per cent. of budgeted GDP) in 2025 from revenues, borrowings, and other sources to fund its expenditure, including its debt service obligations in 2025. Of this amount, U.S.$6.5 billion is budgeted to come from revenues and U.S.$6.0 billion is expected to come from debt financings. In 2024, Angola raised approximately U.S.$18.4 billion of debt, of which approximately U.S.$7.7 billion was raised in the domestic market and approximately U.S.$7.2 billion was raised from the external sector. Angola's total debt (excluding Sonangol debt) outstanding as at the end of 2024 was U.S.$59.6 billion (U.S.$13.9 billion of domestic debt and U.S.$45.7 billion of external debt), which accounted for 53.1 per cent. of 2024 GDP, a decrease from 70.4 per cent. of GDP in 2023.

The Government expects that debt servicing (interest and principal repayments) will account for approximately U.S.$12.2 billion in 2025 (U.S.$15.1 billion in 2024), of which approximately 17.2 per cent. (56 per cent. in 2024) would account for domestic debt and 82.8 per cent. (44 per cent. in 2024) would account for external debt. Angola's total debt service to total revenues ratio reached 59.7 per cent. in 2024, compared to 97.5 per cent. in 2023, 56.2 per cent. in 2022, 67.9 per cent. in 2021, 114.4 per cent. in 2020 and 86.7 per cent. in 2019, and is expected to reach 158.4 per cent. for the year ending 31 December 2025. Furthermore, the average maturity of Angola's public debt profile was 7.5 years and, as at 31 December 2024, approximately 5.4 per cent. (or approximately U.S.$3.3 billion) of public debt was due to mature in less than one year, which if the Government is unable to refinance would result in a material adverse effect on the Angolan economy and its ability to meet its obligations under the Notes.

Recent debt reprofiling initiatives lowered Angola's aggregate external debt servicing obligations in the short-term; however, such arrangements were limited and time-bound, applying to payments due in respect of certain external debt obligations between 1 May 2020 and 31 December 2021. For example, as a result of the escalation of global economic pressures caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and the global oil supply shock, Angola availed itself of the G20/Debt Service Sustainability Initiative (the "DSSI") by signing a Memorandum of Understanding with the Paris Club G20/DSSI Secretariat on 31 August 2020 (the "MOU") and two amendments to the MOU on 7 January 2021 and 27 July 2021. Pursuant to the MOU, the representatives of the Paris Club creditor countries provided Angola with a time-bound suspension of debt service due from 1 May 2020 until 31 December 2021. Amounts re-profiled benefit from a one-year grace period for the amount suspended during this period, followed by three years of repayments for amounts subject to the 2020 suspension and five years for amounts subject to the 2021 suspension.

In addition, and following the instructions from the G20/DSSI Secretariat, Angola negotiated with certain of its other bilateral creditors, being those sovereign entities that have financing arrangements in place with Angola but are not part of the G20, in order to obtain equal or better treatment than the one granted by the terms and conditions of the DSSI. These negotiations resulted in deferral of principal payments from May 2020 through May 2023. Furthermore, in May 2024, Angola and the CDB agreed for Angola to prepay debts scheduled to mature in September 2024. See "Public Debt - External Public Debt - CDB Facilities". Angola continued - and continues - to make interest payments on such re-profiled bilateral debt, the principal amounts of which were not amortised.

Access to the DSSI for the period 1 May 2020 through 31 December 2021, together with Angola's debt re-profiling with certain other bilateral creditors, defers in aggregate approximately U.S.$6.4 billion of debt service payments through the periods indicated. See "Public Debt - External Public Debt - Composition of Angola's external debt".

The Government's current policy is that capital expenditures be funded by a combination of its own resources and by external indebtedness, which may lead to a significant increase in external indebtedness and higher related interest costs, as the Government seeks to fund significant capital expenditure plans.

Any significant future borrowings beyond sustainable thresholds, including domestic debt to finance Angola's fiscal deficit, borrowing under credit agreements entered into with lenders and the issuance of further external debt in the international capital markets (including any Notes offered issued under the Programme), could increase Angola's risk of external debt distress, including risks related to the Notes. The terms and conditions of the Notes (the "Conditions") do not restrict additional unsecured borrowing by the Republic.

Over recent years, the Republic's debt profile has been characterised by a material increase in the ratio of public debt (in Kwanza terms) to GDP, principally due to lower nominal GDP, additional borrowing to fund fiscal deficits and depreciation of the Kwanza against the U.S. dollar. The ratio of public sector debt to GDP and debt service to revenue ratio are expected to remain high for the medium-term thereby constraining Angola's ability to absorb significant shocks (in particular, related to a decrease in the price of oil) or incur borrowings beyond the IMF's EFF programme projections. Should the Republic incur relatively high levels of debt through continued borrowing or suffer from decreasing GDP, it may materially and adversely affect Angola's ability to meet its obligations under the Notes.

As at 31 December 2024, 45.7 per cent. of Angola's total external Government debt (excluding Sonangol) consisted of oil pre-payment facilities, whereby debt servicing and repayment of a loan is made from a designated offshore account into which Angola's receivables from a particular oil sales contract are deposited. That account further provides credit support in respect of that particular loan, providing the relevant creditor with a degree of security not enjoyed by Noteholders. Pursuant to the Medium Term Debt Strategy 2024-2026 (as defined below), Angola has undertaken to restrict financing based on commodity collaterals, including oil-collateralised medium-term financing. See "Public Debt - External Public Debt - Composition of Angola's external debt". Any failure to adequately manage Angola's current and future debt, including new borrowings beyond sustainable levels, may adversely impact Angola's economy and its ability to repay its debt, including the Notes and/or to refinance its debt.

As at 31 December 2024, existing arrears of the Government stood at approximately U.S.$ 2.84 billion or 2.8% per cent. of GDP. The Government intends to clear its existing arrears over the medium term, with approximately U.S.$0.382 billion being cleared in 2025. Furthermore, the Republic has increased borrowings in recent years, and high levels of debt or failure to adequately manage or refinance its debt could have a material adverse effect on Angola's economy and its ability to repay its debt, including the Notes. In mid-2025, the Government's implementation of fuel subsidy reforms triggered widespread public protests, disruptions to economic activity and heightened political tensions. These events underscore the potential social and political risks associated with fiscal consolidation efforts and illustrate the challenges the Government may face in implementing further reforms that are perceived as adversely impacting living standards. The Government has committed to strengthening public financial management systems via clearing the existing stock of domestic payments arrears and avoiding their future recurrence; enforcing budget ceilings and avoiding reallocation of spending without National Assembly approval; strengthening budget oversight by the National Assembly and the Audit Court; holding budget officers more personally accountable for unauthorised expenditure and enhancing transparency by publishing in-year and annual fiscal reports and improving government finance statistics. If the Government does not implement any such strategies or they fail to have the intended effect, new arrears may accumulate."

The fourth paragraph of the risk factor entitled "Failure to adequately address actual and perceived risks of corruption may adversely affect Angola's economy." within the section entitled "RISK FACTORS - FACTORS WHICH ARE MATERIAL FOR THE PURPOSE OF ASSESSING RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH ANGOLA - Risks relating to Angola's financial condition from internal events, exposures or factors" commencing on page 20 of the Base Offering Circular, is replaced in its entirety, as follows:

"In October 2024, Angola announced a high-level political commitment to work with the Financial Action Task Force (the "FATF") (and the Eastern and Southern Africa Anti-Money Laundering Group the ("ESAAMLG") to strengthen the effectiveness of its anti-money laundering/counter-terrorist financing regime after being placed on the "grey list". It remains to be seen how such measures will be successfully enacted. A report from the FATF containing recommendations and findings on progress is due during October 2025. See "The Republic of Angola - Anti-money laundering, anti-bribery, anti-corruption and anti-terrorism measures"."

The following entirely replaces the risk factor entitled "Angola's banking sector faces challenges such as high rates of NPLs, which could have an adverse impact on the banking sector as a whole and may impact the ability of Angola to diversify its economy away from oil." within the section entitled "RISK FACTORS - FACTORS WHICH ARE MATERIAL FOR THE PURPOSE OF ASSESSING RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH ANGOLA - Risks relating to Angola's financial condition from internal events, exposures or factors" commencing on page 20 of the Base Offering Circular:

"Angola's banking sector faces challenges such as high rates of NPLs, which could have an adverse impact on the banking sector as a whole and may impact the ability of Angola to diversify its economy away from oil.

There are a total of 23 banks operating in Angola. On 27 November 2024, Access Bank completed its acquisition of Standard Chartered's shareholding in subsidiaries across multiple African countries, including Angola. The Angolan banking sector may continue to consolidate in the future as investment into Angola grows. (see "External Sector - Foreign Direct Investment").

The health of the banking sector has recently deteriorated driven by slower economic growth and vulnerabilities in the financial sector persist. In 2017, two banks Banco de Poupança e Crédito ("BPC"), which is the largest public bank, and Banco Angolano de Negócios e Comércio ("BANC") were undercapitalised and needed to meet prudential requirements. NPLs, as a percentage of total gross loans across the banking sector have decreased from 19.5 per cent. as at 31 December 2021 to 18.6 per cent. as at 30 June 2025. Such issues with the banking sector have, and may continue to, materially and adversely affect the liquidity, business activity and financial conditions of banking customers, which, in turn, may hinder business activity generally and Angola's attempts to diversify its economy.

Failure by the BNA to properly supervise Angolan banks, by such banks to control their levels of NPLs and comply with prudential standards, or by the Government and the BNA to mitigate the adverse impact of the loss of U.S. dollar CBR status, could result in a material adverse effect on Angola's banking sector, which, in turn, could impact the ability of Angola to diversify its economy away from oil."

The following entirely replaces the risk factor entitled "There are risks related to security in Angola." within the section entitled "RISK FACTORS - FACTORS WHICH ARE MATERIAL FOR THE PURPOSE OF ASSESSING RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH ANGOLA - Risks relating to Angola's financial condition from internal events, exposures or factors" commencing on page 20 of the Base Offering Circular:

"There are risks related to security in Angola.

In spite of the Government's efforts, continued criminal activity, unrest and political conflicts in the country may lead to lower oil production, deter foreign direct investment and lead to increased political instability. In July and August 2025, widespread civil unrest erupted following the Government's decision to cut fuel subsidies. What began as a strike by minibus taxi drivers escalated into nationwide protests. These events underscore the potential for social and political instability, especially in response to economic reforms or austerity measures. In addition, longstanding tensions persist in the Province of Cabinda, where the Front for the Liberation of the Province of Cabinda ("FLEC") continues its campaign for independence. Although the Government does not consider FLEC a serious threat to Angola's territorial integrity, the group has been involved in armed skirmishes and internal factional conflict, particularly since the death of its leader Nzita Tiago in 2016. While peace negotiations intensified in 2021, any breakdown in dialogue, resurgence in separatist activity, or emergence of new groups could further destabilise the region. Such conflicts, a breakdown in peace negotiations, an increase in the activity of FLEC (or other separatist groups), could have a material adverse effect on Angola's economy and, therefore, on Angola's ability to meet its debt obligations, including those under the Notes."

The following entirely replaces the risk factor entitled "Further depreciation in the value of the Kwanza could have a material adverse effect on Angola's economy." within the section entitled "RISK FACTORS - FACTORS WHICH ARE MATERIAL FOR THE PURPOSE OF ASSESSING RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH ANGOLA - Risks relating to Angola's financial condition from internal events, exposures or factors" commencing on page 20 of the Base Offering Circular:

"Further depreciation in the value of the Kwanza could have a material adverse effect on Angola's economy.

The Kwanza's average exchange rate against the U.S. dollar has historically, and more recently on account of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and foreign exchange liberalisation policies, experienced significant depreciation.

For example, the Kwanza's average exchange rate against the U.S. dollar depreciated by 64.5 per cent. between December 2021 and December 2024. Despite a recovery from year-end 2020 through September 2022, where the Kwanza remained largely stable in nominal terms through and strengthened against the U.S. dollar by 51.7 per cent., depreciation against the U.S. dollar increased to 10.2 per cent. over 2024. This was the result of a significant reduction in U.S. dollars in the exchange market and the irregular sales of foreign currencies by the treasury throughout the year, following unexpected reductions in oil production over the same periods. As at 30 September 2025, the Kwanza's exchange rate against the U.S. dollar was AOA 911.98 to U.S.$1.0. See "Exchange Rate History and Controls".

Despite the recent stabilisation of the Kwanza in 2024, its significant depreciation history, and any further depreciation in the future, could have a material adverse effect on Angola's rate of inflation as a result of higher import prices and rising demand for exports and inflate the cost of servicing Angola's existing U.S. dollar denominated debt and Angola's existing debt indexed to the U.S. dollar. Moreover, the significant declines in oil prices in recent years, as well as local oil production pressures adversely impacted the value of the Kwanza and may do so again in the future.

The Government and the BNA have targeted foreign exchange liberalisation policies as part of its economic reform agenda. However, the BNA still maintains certain restrictions which limit the effective participation of banks in the foreign exchange auctions. For example, by limiting the amounts that can be bid, the discretionary elimination of bids deemed by the BNA to be speculative, and the requirement for banks to return unsold foreign exchange to the BNA. Such restrictions may hinder the development of an interbank foreign exchange market and prevent the development of effective market-based price information development. Further depreciation may occur in the near future as the official and parallel rates move towards convergence.

As of 30 June 2025, Angola had U.S.$16.7 billion outstanding under its domestic debt, compared to U.S.$13.9 billion as of 31 December 2024, U.S.$16.9 billion as of 31 December 2023, U.S.$19.9 billion as of 31 December 2022 and U.S.$19.4 billion as of 31 December 2021. All of Angola's outstanding domestic debt indexed to the U.S. dollar remains exposed to any further devaluation of the Kwanza in relation to the U.S. dollar. See "- High inflation could have a material adverse effect on Angola's economy" and "-The Republic has significantly increased borrowings in recent years, and high levels of debt or failure to adequately manage its debt or to re-finance its debt could have a material adverse effect on Angola's economy and its ability to repay its debt, including the Notes".

Any of the aforementioned risks could have a negative effect on the Angolan economy, and on Angola's ability to meet its debt obligations, including those under the Notes."

The following entirely replaces the risk factor entitled "High inflation could have a material adverse effect on Angola's economy." within the section entitled "RISK FACTORS - FACTORS WHICH ARE MATERIAL FOR THE PURPOSE OF ASSESSING RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH ANGOLA - Risks relating to Angola's financial condition from internal events, exposures or factors" commencing on page 20 of the Base Offering Circular:

"High inflation could have a material adverse effect on Angola's economy.

Angola has experienced persistently high inflation in recent years, with the rate fluctuating from 27.0 per cent at the end of 2021 to 13.9 per cent in 2022, before rising again to 27.5 per cent at the end of 2024. As at 31 August 2025, the year-to-year inflation in Angola stood at 19.7 per cent. These rates of inflation reflected supply disruptions subsequent to Covid-19 (both domestic and internationally), the rising interest rate environment globally, the rise in food prices in international markets, constraints in the international trade logistics chain and adverse weather conditions. In the past, Angola has also experienced very high levels of inflation due to economic instability caused by the Civil War. For example, in 2000, Angola's inflation rate reached 268 per cent. For more information on historical inflation rates, see "Monetary System - Inflation".

The 2025 National Budget estimates that Angola's rate of inflation will reach 16.6 per cent. at the end of 2025. Annual inflation in 2024 has increased from 2022, but remained aligned with historical averages in recent years, reflecting policies of the Government and the BNA's work to tighten monetary policy. However, any further economic shocks and/or prolonged adverse weather conditions cause shortages of food (for example) may cause upward inflationary pressure. Angola's annual rate of inflation for 2025 is expected to be19.8 per cent., increasing on the budgeted amount for 2025 primarily due to food supply disruptions and exchange rate pressures.

Although Angola's monetary policies are aimed at containing inflation, there can be no assurance that the inflation rate will not continue to rise in the future. Significant inflation could have a material adverse effect on Angola's economy and Angola's ability to meet its debt obligations, including those under the Notes."

The following entirely replaces the risk factor entitled "A significant decline in the level of foreign reserves as a result of the BNA's major role as a main supplier of foreign currency to domestic residents for imports purposes could materially impair Angola's ability to service its external debt, including the Notes." within the section entitled "RISK FACTORS - FACTORS WHICH ARE MATERIAL FOR THE PURPOSE OF ASSESSING RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH ANGOLA - Risks relating to Angola's financial condition from internal events, exposures or factors" commencing on page 20 of the Base Offering Circular:

"A significant decline in the level of foreign reserves as a result of the BNA's major role as a main supplier of foreign currency to domestic residents for imports purposes could materially impair Angola's ability to service its external debt, including the Notes.

Given the fluctuations in Angola's gross foreign reserves, which increased from U.S.$14.7 billion in December 2023 to U.S.$15.7 billion as of 30 June 2025 but have otherwise decreased from highs of U.S.$32.2 billion in December 2012, its high dependence on oil exports and the fact that Angola pays for its key imports, such as food and refined petroleum, in U.S. dollars, the Kwanza will remain vulnerable to external shocks which could lead to a sharp decline in its value. As of 30 June 2025, gross foreign reserves were U.S.$15.7 billion, equivalent to 8.3 months of import cover. As of 31 August 2025, the total gross foreign exchange reserves were U.S.$15.9 billion, equivalent to 7.7 months of imports of goods and services. See "The External Sector - Foreign Reserves".

The BNA monitors the Angolan banking system's current account, with a view to maintaining minimum reserves totalling six months of imports. Since the drop in oil prices in 2014, and on account of the economic and monetary pressures following the Covid-19 pandemic and the subsequent interest rate environment, Angola has recently experienced a lack of U.S. dollars in circulation due to falling oil prices, operational issues with oil production, increased debt payments denominated in U.S. dollars and rising demand for U.S. dollars domestically. The reduced U.S. dollar liquidity has negatively affected imports to Angola due to the fact that many imports are paid for in U.S. dollars. If Angola experiences current account deficits, it may deplete its foreign exchange reserves, which, in turn, may result in Angola not being able to meet its debt obligations, including those under the Notes. If the Government is unable to raise additional debt and diversify its economy to increase revenue, it may be required to access its foreign reserves to fund its expenditure. See also "- The Republic has significantly increased borrowings in recent years, and high levels of debt or failure to adequately manage its debt or to re-finance its debt could have a material adverse effect on Angola's economy and its ability to repay its debt, including the Notes".

To the extent that the Government uses BNA deposits (as such deposits are described under "The External Sector - Foreign Reserves" and "Monetary System" below) to fund any fiscal deficit and/or to service its debt obligations, its foreign reserves will decrease accordingly."

2               Fiscal surplus / (deficit) on an accrual basis measures the cost of the Government's annual operations and represents the amount by which the Government's expenses exceed its revenues in a given fiscal year. The accrual deficit records costs that are known to have occurred in a particular period (as opposed to recording the resulting cash payments) and includes assumptions for interest rates, inflation and wage growth, among other things. The accrual deficit provides information on the longer-term implications of current Government operations.

3               Fiscal surplus / (deficit) on a cash basis represents the amount by which the Government's cash outlays exceed its cash receipts in a given fiscal year. The cash deficit closely approximates to the Government's short-term borrowing needs.

2025 National Budget

The 2025 National Budget was approved by the National Assembly on 30 December 2024. The 2025 National Budget has four main priorities: (a) increasing the income and purchasing power of the population; (b) improving and investing in food security; (c) prioritising and increasing social spending; and (d) ensuring more robust public finances through reforms and increased transparency. 

In line with these objectives, the key projections of the 2025 National Budget include: (a) an estimated GDP growth of 4.1 per cent., driven by an acceleration in domestic demand and increased public investment; (b) an expansion in the non-oil GDP of 5.1 per cent and a decline in the oil and gas GDP by 1.6 per cent.; (c) a projected average inflation rate of 19.3 per cent.; (d) a projected oil price of U.S.$70 per barrel; and (e) a fiscal deficit of 1.65 per cent. of GDP."

External debt financings

Set forth below is a description of all of Angola's existing external debt financing with a facility amount at or above U.S.$500 million or which otherwise constitutes material external debt financing of Angola:

·      Gemcorp Facility

In June 2015, Angola entered into a U.S.$250 million term facility agreement with Gemcorp Capital LLP as arranger, Commerzbank International S.A. as agent, and Avenir II B.V. as original lender. The original lender was funded through the issuance of privately placed notes. The facility is to be used solely for Angola's general budgetary requirements and is for a term of 30 years on an unsecured basis, with an option for the lenders to request repayment after eight years. As of 30 June 2025, no debt was outstanding under this facility.

Under the terms of the facility agreement, the lenders were prohibited, save in certain specified circumstances, from issuing certain derivative instruments linked to or related to their interests under the facility agreement. This prohibition has expired. See "Risk Factors- Other capital markets instruments based on Angolan sovereign credit exist and others may be issued in the future."

On 2 September 2016, Angola entered into an up to U.S.$200 million revolving facility agreement with Gemcorp Capital LLP as arranger and Gemcorp Fund I Limited as original lender. The original lender was funded through the issuance of privately-placed notes. The commitment is for U.S.$200 million and the agreement provides for an option to upsize to a total commitment of U.S.$600 million from the closing date of the facility until June 2019. This facility was amended and restated on 12 September 2019, which included an extension of the Availability Period and Gemcorp Fund I Limited assuming a Facility Upsize Commitment of U.S.$250.0 million. The facility was due to expire on 2 September 2024. As at the date of this Base Offering Circular, Angola is in the process of extending this facility so that it will continue to 2 September 2030.

The facility is to be used solely for (a) financing the purchase of food, pharmaceutical and medical devices and basic consumer goods by Angolan importers from Kingbird Commodities S.A., the commodity trading arm of Gemcorp Group, which includes Gemcorp Capital LLP, or (b) pursuant to the amendments being negotiated, feasibility studies and / or any related emergency projects, initiatives, schemes or programmes with the aim of contributing to the availability of, ecosystem, manufacturing of, distribution and supply of the Commodities to the populace of, and within, Angola or fostering the pharma, food, agricultural or agro-processing ecosystem in Angola. Each loan drawn under the facility is for a term of six months and on each six-monthly repayment date, each outstanding loan is repayable in full. Angola may re-borrow any part of a loan which is repaid, and re-utilise any part of the facility which is repaid, during the availability period. The availability period applicable to the facility ended in June 2024 but is in the process of being extended to 2 March 2030. All amounts outstanding under the facility have been repaid by the final maturity date, which is 2 September 2024.  As of 30 June 2025, no debt was outstanding under this facility.

On 14 November 2019, Angola entered into an up to U.S.$400 million term facility agreement with Gemcorp Capital LLP as arranger and Gemcorp Fund I Limited as original lender. The facility is to be used for the financing of the construction of civil works and the transmission lines to the Lauca hydro-electric power plant project in Angola. The availability period applicable to the facility ended 45 days after the date of the facility agreement. The facility has a term of seven years from the date of utilisation. Debt outstanding under this facility with Gemcorp was U.S.$114.3 million as of 30 June 2025.

·        CEXIM Facilities

Angola, as borrower, has entered into a series of four master loan facility agreements (each an "MLFA") with The Export-Import Bank of China ("CEXIM"). Each facility is an Oil Pre-payment Facility, and is structured as a framework agreement under which individual loan agreements ("ILAs") are entered into. Under all four MLFAs, Angola and CEXIM have entered into a total of four ILAs:

On 2 March 2004, Angola entered into a MLFA with CEXIM as lender for up to U.S.$2.0 billion. The facility is split between a U.S.$1.0 billion phase I facility and a U.S.$1.0 billion phase II facility. Availability of the phase II facility was subject to confirmation by the lender on or prior to the date falling five years after satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the MLFA and was made available by CEXIM during that period. The MLFA is a framework agreement under which Angola and CEXIM may conclude ILAs for the purpose of financing up to 90 per cent. of the contract price owing to certain contractors in respect of certain contracts. The MLFA was fully drawn as of 31 December 2017.

On 19 July 2007, Angola entered into a second MLFA with CEXIM as lender for up to U.S.$500.0 million. This MLFA is a framework agreement under which Angola and CEXIM may conclude ILAs for the purpose of financing up to 90 per cent. of the contract price owing to certain contractors in respect of certain contracts. As of 31 December 2017, the MLFA had been fully drawn and the availability period for further drawdowns has since expired.

On 28 September 2007, Angola entered into a third MLFA with CEXIM as lender for up to U.S.$2.0 billion. The facility is split between a U.S.$1.0 billion phase I facility and a U.S.$1.0 billion phase II facility, under which Angola and CEXIM may conclude ILAs for the purpose of financing up to 90 per cent. of the contract price owing to certain contractors in respect of certain contracts. As of 31 December 2017, this MLFA had been fully drawn and the availability period for further drawdowns has since expired.

On 18 November 2009, Angola entered into a fourth MLFA with CEXIM as lender which was amended on 8 June 2011 to provide that the amount available under the MLFA is a function of the number of barrels of oil per day sold by Sonangol to Chinese importers designated by CEXIM. The amount available under this MLFA increases from a minimum of U.S.$3.0 billion to a maximum of U.S.$6.0 billion, with increments of U.S.$1.0 billion, depending on the number of barrels per day sold by Sonangol to CEXIM's designated importers. The MLFA is a framework agreement under which Angola and CEXIM may conclude ILAs for the purpose of financing up to 90 per cent. of the contract price owing to certain contractors in respect of certain contracts and/or in respect of projects consented to by the lender. As of 30 June 2025, U.S.$451.2 million was outstanding under this MLFA. The availability of further drawdowns depends on the matter set forth herein.

In accordance with Angola's 2015 National Budget (see "Public Finance - The 2015 National Budget"), Angola significantly decreased its 2016 capital expenditure programme, which resulted in a reduction in the number and/or scale of certain public investment projects in which it had planned to invest in accordance with its prior budget. Consequently, on 9 June 2015, Angola and CEXIM entered into amendments in respect of all four above-mentioned MLFAs in order to realign repayments of drawn amounts under certain ILAs with the revised schedules of progress and/or completion of certain specified public investment projects, the timing and/or scale of which was altered when the revised 2015 National Budget was adopted in March 2015.

On 25 September 2015, Angola entered into a U.S.$509.4 million facility agreement with CEXIM in order to finance construction of the 'Nzeto Soyo' road. As of 30 June 2025, U.S.$210.0 million was outstanding under this facility.

On 29 November 2016, Angola entered into a U.S.$758.7 million facility agreement with CEXIM. The purpose of the facility is to finance (i) up to 85 per cent. of the contract price owing to Caioporto, S.A., a special purpose vehicle for the development and construction of the new Port of Caio in Cabinda, Angola, and (ii) up to 85 per cent. of the premium for the export credit insurance policy issued by the China Export and Credit Insurance Corporation. The facility has a tenor of 15 years and Angola is not required to make any repayments under the facility until the end of the disbursement period which ends 60 months after the effective date of the facility. The facility is not secured but is insured by the China Export and Credit Insurance Corporation. The facility is currently undrawn.

On 17 December 2021, Angola entered into a U.S.$79.7 million facility agreement with CEXIM in order to finance the second phase of the Government's Public Security Project.

Angola has entered into the following facilities with CEXIM backed by the China Export and Credit Insurance Corporation: (i) U.S.$690.2 million for the construction of the infrastructure of Corumba Street; and (ii) U.S.$760.4 million for the construction of the transport system for Luachimo. As of 30 June 2025, no debt was outstanding under either facility.

·     Development Bank of Southern Africa Facility

On 16 December 2013, Angola, as borrower, entered into a term loan facility agreement with Development Bank of Southern Africa Limited ("DBSA") (as arranger, agent and original lender) of up to U.S.$1.5 billion. The agent role has since been transferred to Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. The purpose of the facility was to finance the rehabilitation of a 535 kilometre stretch of the National Road EN180 (Dundo - Saurimo - Luena) and a 556 kilometre stretch of the National Road EN225 in Angola. The facility is for a term of ten years from the date of utilisation. Debt outstanding under this facility was U.S.$199.6 million as of 30 June 2025.

·     CDB Facilities

On 9 December 2015, Angola, as borrower, and China Development Bank Corporation ("CDB"), as lender, entered into a U.S.$15 billion facility agreement. The facility is an Oil Pre-payment Facility with repayments being serviced through receivables from a designated oil contract. The pricing structure of this facility allows Angola to benefit from an upside in an increase in the price of oil. The loan is for a term of 12 years and the availability period expired on 9 December 2017. The loan is for multiple purposes including financing approved projects in Angola, prepaying certain facilities between Sonangol and CDB and financing certain of Sonangol's strategic projects. The facility was drawn in full. In 2016, disbursements amounting to U.S.$10 billion from China Development Bank were contributed as capital by the Government to Sonangol.

In March 2024, a delegation led by President João Lourenço visited China. During this trip, Angola reached an agreement with CDB on the accounting of the prepayment of debt service, so that prepaid amounts would reduce subsequent debt service, in addition to only reducing payments at maturity. The repayment schedule otherwise remains unaltered. In May 2024, Angola and the CDB agreed for Angola to prepay debts scheduled to mature in September 2024. As a result, funds held in the escrow were reduced and monthly payments were reduced by between U.S.$150 million and  U.S.$200 million.

Debt outstanding under facilities with CDB was U.S.$7.9 billion as of 30 June 2025.

In December 2020, Angola entered into an agreement with CDB in order to reprofile certain payments under certain of these finance agreements. See "Risk Factors ‒ Risks relating to Angola's financial condition from internal events, exposures or factors ‒ The Republic has significantly increased borrowings in recent years, and high levels of debt or failure to adequately manage its debt or to re-finance its debt could have a material adverse effect on Angola's economy and its ability to repay its debt, including the Notes".

·      LUMINAR Finance Facilities

On 24 June 2021, Angola and Luminar entered into an unsecured U.S.$2,284,95,101 term facility agreement in respect of the restructuring and refinancing of previously existing facilities. After signing this term facility agreement, LUMINAR shall procure the termination of the oil delivery agreement between Sonangol and its designated off-taker. As of 30 June 2025, U.S.$651.7 million was the amount outstanding under this term facility agreement.

On 24 June 2021, Angola and Luminar entered into a master framework agreement in relation to credit agreements of up to U.S.$3,152,998,438. The purpose of these credit agreements will be financing or refinancing infrastructure projects and related services (including any subcontracting arrangements) in Angola (including, but not limited, to projects in the energy, natural resources, education, agriculture and agro processing, water, sanitation, technology and communication, real estate and healthcare sectors of the Angolan economy); and financing or refinancing projects forming part of the public investment programme of Angola. Under this master framework agreement, Angola has assumed the obligation to utilise funds by no later than 31 December 2021 for an aggregate amount of U.S.$374,420,922.07; by no later than 31 December 2022 for an aggregate amount of U.S.$263,395,494.17; and by no later than 31 December 2023 for an aggregate amount of U.S.$239,876,109.19.

·      Standard Bank of South Africa Limited

On 2 October 2024, Angola and The Standard Bank of South Africa Limited ("SBSA") entered into a U.S.$500 million financing transaction. The financing transaction is a one-year tenor amortising financing documented by way of a long form confirmation dated 3 October 2024 incorporating by reference the terms of the ISDA 2002 Master Agreement published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Under the financing transaction, Angola transferred to SBSA USD denominated bonds issued by Angola with a market value of U.S.$500 million (the "Reference Securities") against an initial payment by SBSA to Angola of U.S.$500 million. Angola paid an amount representing an upfront prepaid fixed rate of interest and Angola will make interim repayments to SBSA on a monthly basis. On the dates falling on the sixth and ninth anniversary of the effective date of the financing transaction, SBSA will return 25 per cent. of the face value of the Reference Securities to Angola. The remaining Reference Securities will be returned to Angola on receipt by SBSA of the final exchange payment amount.

·      Other financings

Since January 2022, Angola has raised approximately U.S.$9 billion of debt to fund critical and essential infrastructure projects across the country such as the building of hospitals and airports, the rehabilitation of roads, the electrification of rural areas, water management including the supply and distribution of potable water, drought prevention projects, increasing water security,  managing climate extremes, development of the agriculture sector, the building and development of renewable energy projects including solar, battery storage and hydropower plants, design.

The debt has been raised predominantly through ECA covered financings with cover provided for by, amongst others, Euler Hermes, UK Export Finance, SACE and BPI. The majority of Angola's loans are with international banks such as Standard Chartered Bank, HSBC Bank and ING Bank.

·      TRS

On 16 December 2024, Angola and J.P. Morgan Securities plc ("JPM") entered into a one-year total return swap transaction (the "Initial TRS") documented by way of a confirmation (the "Confirmation") and an ISDA 2002 Master Agreement (and schedule thereto) (the "ISDA Master Agreement" and together with the Confirmation, the "Initial Agreement"). The Initial Agreement is subject to English law and resolution of any disputes by international arbitration.

On 13 January 2025, Angola and JPM entered into an upsize total return swap transaction with a scheduled termination date of 29 December 2025 (the "Second TRS" and together with the Initial TRS, the "TRS Transactions") documented by way of a long form confirmation (the "Long Form Confirmation") which supplements, forms part of and is subject to an ISDA 2002 Master Agreement which Angola and JPM are deemed to have entered into on 13 January 2025 pursuant to and in accordance with the Long Form Confirmation (the "Deemed ISDA Master Agreement" and together with the Long Form Confirmation, the "Second Agreement"). The Second Agreement is subject to English law and resolution of any disputes by international arbitration.

Under the TRS Transactions, Angola transferred to JPM a nominal amount of notes (rated B- (Stable) by Fitch, B- (Stable) by S&P and B3 (Stable) by Moody's) of U.S.$1,928,000,000 issued by Angola under the Programme (the "TRS Notes"), which were issued without receipt of any issuance proceeds by Angola, and in return received from JPM a financing amount of U.S.$1,000,000,000 (the "Financing Amount"). Ownership of the TRS Notes passed to JPM on a full title transfer basis and the TRS Transactions provide that JPM has the right to sell or otherwise dispose of its ownership interest in the TRS Notes.

The Issuer classified the Financing Amount received as external debt, and the TRS Notes that were issued in exchange for the Financing Amount have been classified as contingent liabilities until such time that the TRS Transactions terminate. If upon termination (through an event of default or otherwise), the Issuer does not receive all of the TRS Notes back and cancel them, then the principal amount of any TRS Notes that remain outstanding will be reclassified as debt of the Issuer.

Accordingly, on issue, the TRS Notes were not included in the calculation of Angola's total external debt. In the event that both the Financing Amount and the TRS Notes are included in the calculation of total debt, $2,928,000,000 of debt would be included in Angola's total external debt stock. See "Risk Factors- The Republic has significantly increased borrowings in recent years, and high levels of debt or failure to adequately manage its debt or to re-finance its debt could have a material adverse effect on Angola's economy and its ability to repay its debt, including the Notes."

Additionally, in certain circumstances, Angola may be required under the terms of the TRS Transactions to pay down the Financing Amount and/or deliver additional collateral.

The Initial Agreement and the Initial TRS were approved pursuant to a Presidential Dispatch dated 9 December 2024. The Second Agreement and the Second TRS were approved pursuant to a Presidential Dispatch dated 27 December 2024. In the future, Angola may seek to enter into one or more additional total return swap transactions with diverse counterparties. See "Risk Factors - Risks related to Notes generally - The Issuer may enter into derivative and repo financing transactions from time to time, which may impact the value of the Issuer's existing and future Notes" for further details.

·      Other defaults

Angola is a party to an arbitration in relation to a syndicated facility entered into with certain lenders. The facility was performed in accordance with its terms until all of the lenders became subject to international sanctions, the effect of which was that all lenders accepted that Angola was unable to perform the facility. Recently, a new party has emerged claiming to have assumed the rights of an original lender.  The new party has commenced arbitral proceedings claiming that an event of default has occurred and that it is entitled to full repayment of a portion of the loan.  Angola denies the claim and intends to defend the arbitration. There are numerous issues in dispute including whether the new party (a) has any right to bring its claim; (b) has (as it asserts) assumed the rights of an original lender; (c) has complied with the terms of the facility in relation to its purported acceleration; and (d) is subject to sanctions impacting on the parties ability to perform the facility. See "Risk Factors - Risks related to Notes generally - Angola has on occasion been in breach of covenants or default under certain existing financing agreements and has sought waivers and/or amendments to remain compliant. If Angola is unable to remain in compliance with its existing or future financing agreements (including loan agreements and terms and conditions of bonds) and is unsuccessful in amending the relevant covenants or obtaining waivers, lenders in such facilities may accelerate their loans, which could result in a cross acceleration on the Notes." for further details.

New Facilities

In addition to the above, Angola is currently negotiating a number of new facilities, some of which are in advanced stages of negotiation and include, but are not limited to, the following:

·      Gemcorp

Angola is currently negotiating a framework agreement arranger by Gemcorp for up to U.S.$2 billion in connection with the financing or refinancing: (i) projects to combat drought in Angola; (ii) projects for the construction, rehabilitation, expansion or improvement of the Angolan water supply system; (iii) institutional, operational and commercial projects in connection with the Angolan public water companies; and (iv) operation and maintenance projects in connection with the public water sector in Angola.

 

·      Other TRS transactions

Angola intends in the future to enter into another total return swap transaction similar to the TRS Transactions, with another bank and documented by way of similar documents, but on different commercial terms. Under such total return swap, Angola will transfer to the bank a nominal amount of underlying notes and foreign currency denominated securities in return for a financing amount. Ownership of such underlying notes and securities will pass to the bank on a full title transfer basis. Additionally, in certain circumstances, Angola may be required under the terms of the total return swap to pay down the financing amount and/or deliver additional collateral. Any future total return swap transaction entered into by Angola will be required to be approved pursuant to a Presidential Dispatch.

·      ICBCS Repo

On 29 September 2025, Angola and ICBC Standard Bank plc ("ICBCS") entered into (i) a 15 calendar month repurchase transaction, (ii) an 18 calendar month repurchase transaction, (iii) a 21 calendar month repurchase transaction and (iv) a 24 calendar month repurchase transaction (the "Repos") documented by way of four separate confirmations (the "Repo Confirmations") and a Global Master Repurchase Agreement (2011 version) and an Annex I thereto (the "GMRA" and together with the Repo Confirmations, the "Repo Agreement"). The Repo Agreement is subject to English law and resolution of any disputes by international arbitration.

Under the Repos, following satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, Angola will transfer to ICBCS a nominal amount of zero coupon notes equal to approximately U.S.$312,500,000 issued locally by Angola through Bolsa de Dívida e Valores de Angola (the "Repo Notes"), and in return receive from ICBCS a financing amount of approximately RMB 891,250,000 (the "Purchase Price"). Ownership of the Repo Notes will pass to ICBCS on a full title transfer basis and the Repos provide that ICBCS has the right to sell or otherwise dispose of its ownership interest in the Repo Notes.

The Issuer intends to classify the Purchase Price received as external debt, and the Repo Notes that are issued in exchange for the Purchase Price will be classified as contingent liabilities until such time that the Repos terminate. If upon termination (through an event of default or otherwise), the Issuer does not receive all of the Repo Notes back and cancel them, then the principal amount of any Repo Notes that remain outstanding will be reclassified as debt of the Issuer.

Accordingly, on issue, the Repo Notes will not be included in the calculation of Angola's total external debt. In the event that both the Purchase Price and the Repo Notes are included in the calculation of total debt, approximately $437,000,000 of debt would be included in Angola's total external debt stock. See "Risk Factors- The Republic has significantly increased borrowings in recent years, and high levels of debt or failure to adequately manage its debt or to re-finance its debt could have a material adverse effect on Angola's economy and its ability to repay its debt, including the Notes."

Additionally, in certain circumstances, Angola may be required under the terms of the Repos to pay down the Purchase Price and/or deliver additional collateral.

The Repo Agreement and the Repos were approved pursuant to a Presidential Dispatch dated 4 September 2025. In the future, Angola may seek to enter into one or more additional repurchase transactions with diverse counterparties. See "Risk Factors - Risks related to Notes generally - The Issuer may enter into derivative and repo financing transactions from time to time, which may impact the value of the Issuer's existing and future Notes" for further details.

·      Luena Saurimo Railway Project

Angola is currently negotiating export credit agency covered facility agreements for up to U.S. 1.36 billion in connection with the engineering and construction of a 260km railway line connecting Luena to Saurimo, Angola. HSBC Bank plc has been appointed as agent and coordinating arranger.

·      Africa Finance Corporation

In June 2025, Angola officially became a sovereign shareholder in the Africa Finance Corporation ("AFC"), with a landmark equity investment of US$184.8 million. Angola has signed a mandate letter for a US$100 million facility with an accordion of up to U.S.$150 million with AFC. The facility will be used to finance the down payment portion of priority infrastructure projects, with up to 25 per cent. of the commitments available to be used for refinancing general fiscal obligations.

Angola has signed a mandate letter for a US$150 million with AFC, comprising a concessional tranche to be sourced from the Green Climate Fund. The Facility will be used to finance the agreed list of sustainable infrastructure projects.
