Recently, Odebrecht Lost Control of Atvos in Court, One of the Largest Ethanol Producers in Brazil
After a judicial battle, the court granted approval to Lone Star and Castlelake funds to take control of Atvos, one of the largest ethanol producers in Brazil. Atvos was under judicial recovery.
On November 26, the São Paulo Court of Justice (TJ-SP) made a favorable decision to the American fund, guaranteeing the transfer of shares acquired by Lone Star, which, according to the fund, will give the right to control of the sugar-energy company Atvos, belonging to the Odebrecht group.
The denied appeal guarantees the validity of the sale of shares to Natixis bank for US$ 5 million. Thus, Odebrecht must deliver the corporate records so that the transfer of shares can be registered and the fund can definitively assume control of Atvos.
