What is IG4's stated timeline and condition for acquiring Raizen?

IG4 aims to finalize a potential acquisition of Raizen by the end of March 2027, pending a successful pitch to Raizen's creditors; this follows Raizen's announcement of a 65 billion reais ($12.7 billion) debt restructuring plan set to be completed by the end of March, and IG4 has submitted a non-binding offer to creditors that includes options such as cash payment or quotas in an IG4 fund for those wishing to remain invested in Raizen.

How does IG4 characterize its approach to the Raizen deal and its broader investment strategy?

IG4 explicitly rejects hostile takeovers and instead seeks to build support from creditors and stakeholders; it plans to negotiate with remaining major shareholders only after securing commitments equivalent to 50% plus one of Raizen's shares, reflecting its belief that effective turnarounds require majority control — a principle aligned with its track record of taking control or co-control of companies, and its current strategic shift toward fewer, larger, complex, and global deals in the agribusiness sector.
