This excerpt taken from the PBR 20-F filed May 22, 2009. PifCo depends
on its ability to pass on its financing costs to
us.
PifCo is principally engaged in the purchase of crude oil and
oil products for sale to us, as described above. PifCo regularly
incurs indebtedness related to such purchases
and/or in
obtaining financing from us or third-party creditors. All such
indebtedness has the benefit of a guaranty, a standby purchase
obligation or other support from us, and PifCo has historically
passed on its financing costs to us by selling crude oil and oil
products to us at a premium to compensate for its financing
costs. If for any reason we are not permitted to continue these
practices, this would have a materially adverse effect on
PifCos business and on its ability to meet its debt
obligations in the long term.
