Tauil & Chequer Advogados in association with Mayer Brown advised Eletrobras on the acquisition of 51% of Eletronet's share capital, previously held by LT Bandeirante. Upon closing the transaction, the Eletrobras Group will hold 100% of Eletronet's share capital, as it already owns a 49% stake in the company.
This acquisition will enable Eletrobras to leverage commercial synergies through cross-selling opportunities between energy and data transport sectors (e.g., data centers, service providers, artificial intelligence, etc.).
The transaction reinforces Eletrobras' commitment to optimizing minority interests, simplifying the structure, generating value and focusing on capital discipline, as provided for in its strategic plan.
The team was led by partner Bruno Salzano and associate Rafael Hochman, both from the Corporate and M&A, and Infrastructure practices. Also participating were partner Débora Yanasse from the Energy practice, as well as partner Henrique Rocha and associate Luiza Brumati from the Public and Administrative Law practice.
