Apr 2026SecondaryBanco BTG Pactual-$3.3BFunds managed by BTG Pactual agreed to acquire the 27.2% of V.tal still held by the bankrupt Brazilian telecom group Oi, for R$4.5 billion, in April 2026. A Rio de Janeiro business court approved the bid on April 1, 2026 as the only offer submitted in Oi's sale process, even though creditors had objected that it was far below the R$12.3 billion minimum price set in Oi's recovery plan. The deal includes an additional earn-out of R$500 million contingent on a future V.tal IPO, a 24-month bar on a V.tal listing and a penalty of 50% of the bid if the funds withdraw. The BTG Pactual funds already owned the other 72.8% of V.tal after buying control from Oi for R$12.9 billion in 2022, so completion would give them 100%. In June 2026 an appeals court judge suspended the approval after appeals by creditors including PIMCO funds, and the sale had not closed by autumn 2026. V.tal is a neutral fiber optic network operator in Brazil, founded in 2021 and based in Rio de Janeiro, supplying wholesale fiber capacity to telecom and internet service providers.
Nov 2022Undisclosed stageCPP Investments (lead)$475M$5BV.tal is Brazil's largest neutral fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) network provider, operating a neutral fiber optic network that allows various internet service providers to purchase bandwidth. It accounts for about 14% of Brazil’s fiber network and reaches nearly 20 million households across the country, with plans to expand in a market with substantial unmet demand for high-speed connectivity. The company is controlled by funds managed by BTG Pactual, which hold a 65.9% stake post-transaction, while Oi owns 31.4%. On November 25, 2022, CPP Investments announced an investment of R$2.5 billion (approximately USD468 million or C$625 million) for a 9.5% stake in V.tal. The transaction values the company at approximately R$263 billion post-money and is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. This deal increased BTG Pactual-managed funds' ownership from 61.8% to 65.9%. CPP Investments highlighted V.tal's significant market position and growth potential in Brazil's fiber infrastructure sector. The investment aligns with CPP's broader strategy in Latin America, where it has C$30 billion deployed across various asset classes as of September 30, 2022.
