The STF Plenary Decided This Friday, June 7, to Waive Legislative Approval and Bidding for the Sale of Subsidiary Companies and Mixed Economies.
The decision applies to companies belonging to energy holdings such as Petrobras and Eletrobras. However, it does not apply to the holdings themselves, which – according to the decision – need authorization from the National Congress to be sold. The main affected party in the STF’s decision is Petrobras. The company has sold and intends to sell some of its most important subsidiaries. A contrary decision from the STF could delay or even prevent – depending on the decision of deputies and senators – the sale of some companies.
