Petrobras Board of Directors approved in a meeting, the sale of 90% of the shares in Nova Transportadora do Sudeste (NTS) to Brookfield Infrastructure Partners and its affiliates.
The sale amounted to $5.19 billion with the first installment corresponding to 84% of the total amount, $4.34 billion, to be paid when the transaction has been completed, and the remaining amount, $850 million, in five years’ time.
The transaction is significant for the Petrobras Divestment Plan as it corresponds to roughly 35% of the $15.1 billion target for the period 2015 – 2016.
The completion of the transaction is subject to the approval of Petrobras at a General Shareholders’ Meeting and to certain customary conditions, including the approval by the regulatory bodies.
