Some recent M&A deals involving Latin American family businesses

December 2016 Suzano Papel e Celulose SA Brazil The Feffer family, which has a controlling share in the Brazilian pulp and paper producer Suzano Papel e Celulose SA, may consider splitting control in a sector consolidation deal. Walter Schalka, the group’s CEO, indicated in 2016 that Brazil’s pulp and paper industry is expected to face a consolidation wave, as excess capacity has cut prices to record lows in the last two decades. Recent speculations point to a possible merger between Suzano and Fibria Celulose SA. The latter has also been rumored to be considering a tie-up with Eldorado Brasil Celulose SA. To date, no official discussions have been revealed. Schalka noted that the combination of two or more pulp companies is just one of the ways to reshape the embattled sector. The sector’s woes have had a negative impact on Suzano’s financial results. In the third quarter of 2016, the company’s revenue was US$639.9 million, marking a 27% decline year on year. July 2016 Ripley Corp SA Chile El Puerto de SAB de CV, a Mexico-based operator of department stores, has entered into an agreement to acquire Ripley Corp SA — a Chile-based company engaged in the retail sales of apparel, accessories and home products — from the Calderón family for US$1.2 billion, at US$0.63 per share. The offer represents a premium of about 25% to Ripley’s closing price on the Santiago Stock Exchange on 5 July 2016. The transaction includes an option for El Puerto to buy additional shares five years after completion of the transaction. July 2016 Lupo SA Brazil Lupo announced a deal to buy rival underwear manufacturer Scalina. According to Lupo, the completion of the deal will take place after approval by Brazil’s Administrative Council for Economic Defense. The financial details of the transaction were not disclosed, but a knowledgeable source said that the value of the operation was about US$43.9 million. Scalina underwear is sold in Scala’s 100-plus franchised stores in malls throughout Brazil. The company employs more than 4,500 people and has three factories. Lupo, a family-controlled company, sells men’s and women’s underwear, as well as sports apparel and other accessories, in more than 300 shops. March 2016 Grupo de SA de CV Mexico Grupo Televisa de SA de CV is a listed Mexico-based media group involved in television, publishing and radio. It has agreed to acquire a 50% stake in Television Internacional SA de CV, the Mexico-based company that provides cable television, internet access, telephony services and bidirectional data transmission, from Multimedios Estrellas de Oro SA de CV, the Mexico-based media and entertainment company, for a consideration worth US$70.4 million. As a result of this transaction, Grupo Televisa will own a 100% stake in Television Internacional and will be able to exploit efficiencies and economies of scale among its five cable operations in Mexico, expanding the double- and triple-pay offerings of its subsidiary Izzi Telecom. March 2016 Inversora Carso SA de CV Mexico Inversora Carso SA de CV and Esther Koplowitz have agreed to acquire an undisclosed stake in Fomento de Construcciones y Contratas SA (FCC), via capital increase. Inversora Carso SA de CV, the Mexico- based investment company controlled by Carlos Slim, has interests in companies engaged in construction, environmental services, and the renewable energy sector. FCC, a listed construction company headquartered in Madrid, is engaged in similar sectors. The transaction is in line with FCC’s strategy of strengthening its capital and reducing its indebtedness.
