Brazilian-based car rental agency Unidas hopes to use funds from an initial public offering to help expand its network.
Reuters reported that Brazilian car rental company Unidas plans to use funds from an initial public offering (IPO) to help expand its network, fund possible purchases and support its financial position.
Last week, shareholders approved the proposal for an initial public offering on the Novo Mercado of the Sao Paulo Stock Exchange, according to the Reuters report. Current shareholders include Portuguese group SAG, Vinci Partners, Gavea Investimentos, Kinea Investimentos and Itau Unibanco.
A source told Reuters that the IPO is anticipated to close in the third quarter, but there is currently no information on the size or timing of the offering.
According to the report, CPFL Energias Renovaveis SA, alternative energy unit of CPFL Energia SA, completed the first IPO in Brazil since April.
