Brazilian businessman Nelson Tanure has retained Rothschild & Co. to assist in bank negotiations crucial to his bid to acquire a controlling stake in Braskem, Latin America\u2019s largest petrochemical company. The move signals progress in Tanure\u2019s efforts to finalize a complex acquisition process involving multiple stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In late May, Tanure submitted a proposal to purchase conglomerate Novonor\u2019s controlling interest in Braskem. The offer led to exclusive discussions between Tanure and Novonor as they evaluate the terms of a potential agreement. Novonor currently holds a significant share in Braskem, but many of these shares are pledged as collateral for its outstanding debts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To proceed with the deal, Tanure must negotiate with banks that hold Braskem shares as loan collateral tied to Novonor\u2019s debt obligations. These financial institutions play a key role in the transaction structure and will need to approve any transfer of ownership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brazilian oil company Petrobras, Braskem\u2019s second-largest shareholder, is another important party in the ongoing negotiations. Tanure has indicated that he intends to offer Petrobras an expanded role in Braskem\u2019s future operations while retaining Novonor as a minority shareholder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While specific financial terms of Tanure\u2019s bid have not been publicly disclosed, the businessman recently told Reuters that preliminary talks with banks and key stakeholders have already begun. Tanure and Rothschild have both declined to comment further on the matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rothschild\u2019s engagement as Tanure\u2019s advisor was first reported by Brazil\u2019s O Globo newspaper. The advisory firm is now assisting with the complex financial negotiations required to advance the acquisition process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tanure\u2019s pursuit of Braskem marks another high-profile effort in his history of investing in companies undergoing financial restructuring. As negotiations continue with Novonor, banks, and Petrobras, the outcome of this deal could reshape ownership of one of Latin America\u2019s most important petrochemical firms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
