Nov 6 (Reuters) – Four asset managers specialized in recovering nonperforming assets, led by WNT, will negotiate their rights to control Brazilian fashion retailer Restoque (LLIS3.SA) after taking 90% of the company’s shares in a capital raise operation, a media report said on Sunday.
Brazilian newspaper O Estado de S. Paulo said there is no date for a final decision among new shareholders, but WNT should retain a stake equal to or greater than 56% in the company.
A shareholders’ agreement should be formed to align the new management of Restoque, which owns fashion chains Le Lis Blanc, Dudalina and John John, the report said.
The 1.63 billion reais ($322.41 million) capital increase took place in October, converting debt into shares that were formalized by the Brazilian stock exchange B3 on Friday.
Restoque and WNT did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
