As a result of the acquisition, Embrapar and its subsidiary Empresa Brasileira de Telecomunicacoes SA - Embratel ("Embratel") now hold, directly and indirectly, through the GB, 92.2% of the Company’s total share capital.
On April 5, 2012, were resolved at an Extraordinary General Meeting, the cancellation of the publicly-held company and discontinuity of differentiated practices of corporate governance of Level 2 of BM&FBOVESPA, both conditional upon the achievement of a public offering unified for the acquisition of all common and preferred shares issued by the Company, including shares traded on the Nasdaq and Latibex (Unified OPA).
