Americanas evaluates the “DIP financing” for a minimum value of R $ 1 billion
Americanas (AMER3), which is in judicial reorganization, informed Tuesday evening, 31, that it is considering making, before the judgment of the 4th commercial court of the judicial district of the state capital of Rio de Janeiro, a request for approval of extra-bankruptcy loans in “debtor-in-possession” mode for a minimum amount of R$ 1 billion.
According to the company, the DIP funding is intended to help maintain the normal course of its business and strengthen its liquidity.
“If approved, the DIP funding, along with other sources of liquidity the company is exploring, including the release of withheld monies from certain creditors, will allow it to maintain working capital investments and finance non-bankruptcy obligations, including payments to suppliers and partners” , he explained.
Americanas specified that it had discussed with its reference shareholders (Jorge Paulo Lemann, Marcel Herrmann Telles and Carlos Alberto Sicupira) the possibility of their subscription up to the entire minimum amount.
Again according to the retailer, the DIP loan could possibly be replaced by a new loan, convertible into company shares, and which will ensure the right of first refusal for all shareholders.
If carried out, the DIP loan must not have guarantees, will allow the participation of business creditors and should have a remuneration equal to the average cost of the business loan before the judicial recovery request (about 128% of the CDI).
Petrobras receives BRL 347 million from Shell in reference to “earnout”
Petrobras (PETR3, PETR4) received this Tuesday 31, in cash, from Shell, the amount of 347 million reais referring to the complement of the firm compensation (earnout) for the financial year 2022, of the Atapu block.
The amount already includes the pre-tax amount on Shell’s 25% stake.
Pursuant to Ordinance no. 08 of 04/19/2021 of the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) and the announcement of the 2nd round of the tender on the Transfer of excess rights under the Production Sharing regime, held on 12/17/2021, were fixed earnout values for the Sépia and Atapu blocks, which will mature between 2022 and 2032, and payable starting from the last working day of January of the year following the one in which the price of Brent oil reaches an annual average greater than US$ 40/bbl, with a maximum limit of $70/bbl.
All payments related to the FY 2022 earnout, which are paid by the Sépia and Atapu block partners, were received by Petrobras in January 2023.
The state-owned oil company also announced that the risk assessment agency Fitch, one of the largest in the world, confirmed its credit rating at “BB-“, with a ‘stable’ outlook, after Brazil’s rating.
The stand-alone credit rating was also reaffirmed at “bbb”, four notches above the country.
The agency believes Petrobras’ ratings are linked to those of the sovereign given the oil company’s strategic importance to the country and government control.
Fitch also believes that the standalone rating reflects the company’s leverage profile, its proven reserves and its scale of operations, comparable to investment-grade international oil companies.
Fitch also stressed that it expects Petrobras to continue generating positive free cash flows by investing enough to rebuild its reserves.
Petrobras also revealed that it received the amount of R $ 132 million, as victim-beneficiary of the multi-award-winning collaboration agreement signed between the Federal Public Prosecutor and Rogério Santos de Araújo, before the Federal Supreme Court.
Petrobras has informed that it does not have access to the term and annexes of the aforementioned agreement, which remain confidential in the Federal Supreme Court.

Vale (VALE3) released its production and sales report on Tuesday after the market closed.
The mining company reported that it produced 307.7 million tons of iron ore in 2022, down 1.6% from 2021.
The volume was below the 2022 guidance, which targeted 310 million tonnes.
According to Vale, the annual decline is mainly due to delays in licensing Serra Norte; and processing jaspilite overload and operational performance in the S11D.
“This was partially offset by a continued increase in production at Vargem Grande; increased production through dry processing in Brucutu; and more third-party purchases,” the company explained.
