Inpasa, Brazil’s largest ethanol producer, reported on Friday (4) that, through an stock investment fund linked to the founding family, made an investment in vibra with “strictly financial” objective.
“This is a financial investment made through an stock investment fund (FIA) linked to the family, with strictly financial objective and without any relation to the company’s operation,” said Inpaasa.
“This fund has a diverse wallet, with participation in several listed companies, including Viber, without representing any corporate, strategic or partnership with Inpasa.”
Inpasa did not specify in the note the size of the investment.
The note was released after Brazil Journal reported the day before the company is setting up a position on the vibra and already has a slice of about 3% in the company, national leader in the distribution of fuels and lubricants, citing sources.
Sought, the vibra said it will not comment.
Vibra’s shares closed with an increase of 2.68% on Friday, at R $ 22.59 each, among the highest percentages of Ibovespa, which advanced 0.24%.
