The government of Paraná will transform Copel (CPLE6) into a dispersed capital company and, to do so, intends to promote a secondary public offering of shares.
It is the Companhia Paranaense de Energia – which generates, transmits, distributes and sells energy. The company is one of the largest electricity companies in Brazil.
The move is aimed at raising funds to meet the investment needs of the state, which will retain no less than 15% of the company.
It will also hold 10% of the votes conferred by the voting shares.
According to the document sent to the market, currently the State of Paraná holds 69.7% of the common shares and 31.1% of the total capital.
