The Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) has unanimously approved a mandatory public tender offer (OPA) for shares of Oncoclínicas. In a 3-0 vote, the CVM board reversed the recommendation of its technical department, which had previously argued that the 2024 reorganization of the Josephina funds did not necessitate a new acquisition.

The mandate follows a dispute led by minority shareholders, including Latache Capital, who argued that the reorganization triggered a ‘poison pill’ clause in the company’s bylaws. This clause requires a tender offer if an investor’s stake exceeds 15%. The reorganization resulted in the Josephina III fund, a vehicle linked to Centaurus Capital, holding a 31.83% stake in Oncoclínicas.

Centaurus Capital continues to contest the ruling, maintaining that its economic interest predates the IPO and that the reorganization was a structural change rather than a new acquisition. Centaurus has initiated arbitration through the B3 Arbitration Chamber (CAM), arguing that the chamber holds exclusive jurisdiction over commercial disputes between shareholders. 

The CVM has stipulated that the tender offer must be executed within 60 days of August 25. However, several critical details remain unresolved, including the final offer price, the specific payer, and the exact eligibility of shareholders. Following the announcement of the CVM’s decision, Oncoclínicas shares experienced a significant increase.
