Raízen debt restructuring plan approved
Overview
On 30 July 2026 the São Paulo 3ª Vara de Falências e Recuperações Judiciais homologated Raízen’s extrajudicial recovery plan, confirming the restructuring of about R$61.4 billion of unsecured debt. The decision was backed by 81.6 % of unsecured creditors and faced no objections. Roughly 45 % of the restructured credits will be converted into equity units at R$0.50 each, with the remaining 55 % refinanced through new debt instruments, and a capital increase of R$3.5‑R$4 billion to be funded by Shell Brasil and potentially Aguassanta. The plan also mandates the segregation of the fuel‑distribution and bio‑energy businesses and a programme of non‑strategic asset divestments. Raízen said the court approval strengthens stakeholder confidence and provides a sustainable capital structure as it proceeds with corporate reorganisation and asset sales.
