Qatar Investment Authority announced the launch of a secondary public offering of its American depositary shares of Banco Santander (Brasil) S.A. . QIA holds approximately 5.5% of the total outstanding shares of Santander Brasil and intends to sell approximately 40% of its position.

This transaction forms part of the routine portfolio management activities undertaken by QIA from time to time.

In connection with the offering, QIA has agreed to enter into a customary lock-up. The offering will be underwritten by BofA Merrill Lynch, Credit Suisse and Santander Investment Securities.

QIA expects to grant to the underwriters of the offering an option to purchase up to an additional approximately 15% of the ADSs being offered.
