Analysis · CSAN · Trade & Services
The only new content in this amendment is Exhibit 15.2 — Raízen S.A.'s audited FY2026 financial statements (year ended March 31, 2026), filed because Cosan's equity-method investee is significant enough to require separate audited financials under SEC rules. The numbers are severe: Raízen lost R$27.1 billion in FY2026, ended the year with a capital deficiency of R$8.27 billion and current liabilities exceeding current assets by R$51.2 billion, and PwC included a substantial-doubt going-concern paragraph. Raízen filed for out-of-court reorganization on March 11, 2026; the plan was approved July 30, 2026 with 81.6% creditor support and includes up to R$3.5 billion of new capital from Shell at R$0.25 per share, conversion of 45% of restructured claims into equity at R$0.50 per Unit, and maturities pushed to 2032-2035. Raízen has also been selling assets — Argentina downstream to Mercuria for US$1.42 billion and the Caarapó plant for R$662.8 million — and shareholders vote on plan implementation measures October 30, 2026. For Cosan holders, the key question is how much of Raízen's distress flows through: Cosan's own equity-method carrying value of Raízen is at risk of further impairment, and the Shell-led recapitalization at R$0.25/share implies heavy dilution of Cosan's indirect stake. Cosan's own ADSs were delisted from the NYSE in September 2026, so this disclosure lands on a thinly-traded Brazilian-listed equity.
