Announced In 2021, Sale Of Petrobras’ Participation In Deten Will Be Concluded With The Million Payment To Cepsa, As Soon As The Agreement Is Closed

On Wednesday, April 27, the Petrobras board of directors authorized the transfer of its entire stake in Deten Química, which represents 27.88% of the company, to Cepsa.

Petrobras’ stake in Deten Química, a company located in the industrial hub of Camaçari, which had been announced since last year, will be sold to Cepsa for a price of R$ 585 million, to be settled upon the closure of the transaction. The sale conducted by Petrobras will include a 5% deposit of the price – equivalent to R$ 29.25 million – to be deducted from the total as soon as there is the payment.

According to the virtual news outlet Broadcast, Petrobras – which conducted business with TotalEnergies – announced that the negotiation with Cepsa regarding the percentage in Deten Química is subject to the fulfillment of pre-established conditions, such as the approval from the Administrative Council for Economic Defense (Cade).

As disclosed by Petrobras, the value of the transaction for the stake in Deten Química does not take into account adjustments that may be made until the deal is finalized. The state-owned company, which is negotiating with Cepsa, states: “This operation is aligned with the optimization of the portfolio and the improvement of the company’s capital allocation, aiming to generate value for its shareholders”.
