Change of control paves the way for the implementation of the investment of R$500 million in the company by Mubadala Capital; the transition team will be led by Giovanni Forace, representative of FIP Agroenergia, who assumes the interim position of CEO of the company.

FIP Agroenergia is the new parent company of Atvos and will be responsible for paving the way for the company’s arrival at Mubadala Capital, the asset management subsidiary of Mubadala Investment Company, a global sovereign investor based in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. As of the present date, Giovanni Forace will be taking over as interim CEO of the company.

The new controller is committed to implementing the agreed conditions for Mubadala Capital to invest R$500 million in exchange for a 31.5% stake in the company’s capital stock. The investment should be allocated to the agricultural and industrial areas, with the aim of resuming Atvos’ production capacity and surpassing the mark of 30 million metric tons of sugarcane crushing per harvest. In the last cycle, the company ground 22.5 million metric tons from its operations in the states of Goiás, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, and São Paulo.

“Atvos is one of the main companies in the sugar-energy sector and we see a high capacity for growth and transformation of the company, whether in the operational, financial or social and environmental aspects,” said Giovanni Forace, interim CEO of Atvos. “This transition is a milestone for Atvos, as it puts an end to any corporate conflict and consolidates the sustainability of the business towards the end of its judicial recovery process.”

The new parent company will continue the company’s business plan, seeking to increase its productivity rates, in order to generate more security and value for shareholders, customers, partners, employees, and other stakeholders of the company.
