  • Message from Ruy Sampaio | Approval of the Odebrecht S.A. Court-Supervised Reorganization Plan

    DATA: 04/22/2020

    Dear Team Members,

    I am delighted to inform you that the General Meeting of Creditors has just approved the Court-Supervised Reorganization of Odebrecht S.A and 11 other controlled or parent companies.

    The companies that had plans adopted today are part of the core of Odebrecht’s Court-Supervised Reorganization Plan. We are convinced that another 8 companies will have their plans authorized within 60 days.

    The step taken today is decisive for Odebrecht’s economic and financial reorganization. A new stage begins in the trajectory of a group that, in its 75 years of existence, has made a major contribution to the sustainable development in Brazil as well as in several countries.

    After 10 months of intensive negotiations, the meeting of creditors held today, in a virtual file format, represents an important display of Odebrecht’s resilience.

    This is proof that we are on the right path, with a realistic and feasible plan, and with a lot of hope for the future.

    As from the judicial approval of the creditors’ decision, the legal period of two years for the execution of the Court-Supervised Reorganization Plan begins.

    This period, more than ever, requires from all of us the engagement, resilience and confidence we have applied in Odebrecht’s transformation process, today a company strictly committed to ethical, integral and transparent practice.

    Our future is in our hands. Our strength is also in the high technical level of our teams as well as in the knowledge accumulated over decades in the various branches of economic activity where we are.

    I want to thank the teams in all areas, especially the Financial and Legal areas, who in these ten months have been persistent, patient and tireless in the search for the best solution for creditors and the best path for the company.

    I would like to thank in particular our two external advisors, Eduardo Munhoz and Ricardo K., who together with their teams brought light to our evaluations and formulations, and used on this cause the experience and ability of articulation and negotiation hailed by the market as some of their best qualities.

    Now, after overcoming of this stage, we can proceed normally with our life. We shall all focus on our PA, seeking to overcome first the current challenges of the economic and public health crisis, and at the same time looking for business opportunities where our business and entrepreneurial expertise applies.

    Thus, always striving for efficiency, better productivity and innovative and sustainable solutions, we will be able to continue offering the best we have to the country and the communities where we operate: our spirit of service.

    Best regards.

    Ruy Sampaio

    Chief Executive Officer

    Odebrecht S.A.
