Issuer    República Oriental del Uruguay.
Title    3.400% UI Global Bonds due 2045.
Principal Amount    Ps. 57,809,486,000
Maturity Date    May 16, 2045.
Pricing Date    May 8, 2024.
Settlement Date    May 16, 2024 (T+6).
Public Offering Price    100.000% of the principal amount. The Public Offering Price will be payable in U.S. dollars based on an exchange rate of 38.516 Uruguayan pesos per $1.00 U.S. dollar.
Interest    3.400% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears in U.S. dollars.
Payment of Interest    Amounts due in respect of interest will be accrued and paid semi-annually in arrears on May 16 and November 16 of each year, commencing on November 16, 2024. Each of the interest payments will be payable at an annual rate of 3.400% on the outstanding principal amount of the Bonds as adjusted to reflect Uruguayan inflation from the issue date through the relevant interest payment date. For this purpose, The Bank of New York Mellon, as the Calculation Agent, will multiply the outstanding principal amount of the Bonds in Uruguayan pesos by a fraction, the numerator of which is the value of one UI expressed in Uruguayan pesos as of the relevant interest payment date and the denominator of which is Ps. 6.0129, being the value of one UI expressed in Uruguayan pesos on the date of issuance of the Bonds. Interest on the Bonds will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
Interest Payment Dates    May 16 and November 16 of each year, commencing on November 16, 2024.


Payments of Principal    Principal will be repaid in three nominally equal installments on May 16, 2043, May 16, 2044 and at maturity. The nominal principal amount repaid in each installment will be adjusted to reflect Uruguayan inflation from the issue date to the applicable repayment date and will be converted to and paid in U.S. dollars. For this purpose, the Calculation Agent will multiply the outstanding principal amount of the Bonds being repaid in Uruguayan pesos by a fraction the numerator of which is the value of one UI in Uruguayan pesos as of such repayment date and the denominator of which is Ps. 6.0129, being the value of one UI expressed in Uruguayan pesos on the date of issuance of the Bonds.
Conversion of Payment Amounts    All amounts due in respect of principal and interest will be paid in U.S. dollars, calculated by the Calculation Agent by exchanging the Uruguayan peso amounts into U.S. dollars at the average interbank exchange rate for the conversion of Uruguayan pesos into U.S. dollars as published by Banco Central del Uruguay as the bid-side rate for the period of twenty business days ending two business days prior to the relevant payment date.
Optional Redemption    On or after February 16, 2045 (three months prior to the maturity date of the UI Bonds), Uruguay may redeem the UI Bonds, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the UI Bonds being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but, excluding, the date of redemption date.
Denominations    Ps.1,000 and integral multiples of Ps. 1.0 in excess thereof.

Delivery of the UI Bonds is expected on or about May 16, 2024, which will be the sixth business day following the date of pricing of the UI Bonds. Under Rule 15c6–1 of 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 UI Bonds prior to the Settlement Date may be required, by virtue of the fact that the UI Bonds initially will settle in T+6, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the UI Bonds who wish to trade UI Bonds prior to the Settlement Date should consult their own advisor.

This pricing term sheet has been prepared on the basis that any offer of UI Bonds in any Member State of the European Economic Area (“EEA”) will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Regulation from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of UI Bonds. Accordingly, any person making or intending to make an offer in the EEA of UI Bonds which are the subject of the offers contemplated in the Prospectus Supplement may only do so to legal entities which are qualified investors as defined in the EEA, provided that no such offer of UI Bonds shall require Uruguay or any of the underwriters to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Regulation or supplement a prospectus pursuant to Article 23 of the Prospectus Regulation, in each case in relation to such offer. Neither the Republic nor the underwriters have authorized, nor do they authorize, the making of any offer of UI Bonds to any legal entity which is not a “qualified investor” as defined in the Prospectus Regulation. Neither the Republic nor the underwriters have authorized, nor do they authorize, the making of any offer of UI Bonds through any financial intermediary, other than offers made by the underwriters, which constitute the final placement of the UI Bonds contemplated in the prospectus supplement. The expression “Prospectus Regulation” means Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (as amended or superseded).

The UI Bonds are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in any Member State of the EEA. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, “MiFID II”); (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2017/1129 (as amended, “IMD”), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Article 2 of the Prospectus Regulation. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the “PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the UI Bonds or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the UI Bonds or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

Each person in the EEA who receives any communication in respect of, or who acquires any UI Bonds under, the offers to the public contemplated in the Prospectus Supplement, or to whom the UI Bonds are otherwise made available, will be deemed to have represented, warranted, acknowledged and agreed to and with each underwriter and the Republic that it and any person on whose behalf it acquires UI Bonds is not a “retail investor” (as defined above).

Any distributor subject to MiFID II (for the purposes of this paragraph, a “distributor”) subsequently offering, selling or recommending the UI Bonds is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the UI Bonds and determining the appropriate distribution channels for the purposes of the MiFID II product governance rules under Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 (the “Delegated Directive”). Neither Uruguay nor any of the underwriters make any representations or warranties as to a distributor’s compliance with the Delegated Directive.

This pricing term sheet has been prepared on the basis that the requirement under the Prospectus Regulation, as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the “UK Prospectus Regulation”) and the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, as amended (the “FSMA”) to produce or publish a prospectus for offers of UI Bonds does not apply. The prospectus supplement does not constitute a prospectus for the purposes of the UK Prospectus Regulation and the FSMA.

The UI Bonds are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the UK. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of the UK Prospectus Regulation; or (ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions of FSMA and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement the Insurance Distribution Directive, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of UK Prospectus Regulation. Consequently, no key information document required by the PRIIPs Regulation, as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the “UK PRIIPs Regulation”), for offering or selling the UI Bonds or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the UI Bonds or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.
