Board Approves Fibrasil Merger
The Board of Directors unanimously approved the merger of Fibrasil Infraestrutura e Fibra Ótica S.A., a wholly-owned subsidiary, into Telefônica Brasil S.A.
-
Strategic Rationale
The merger is intended to simplify the corporate structure, accelerate decision-making, optimize operations and administration, and reduce costs associated with maintaining separate entities.
-
No Capital Increase
The merger will be effective as of August 1, 2026, based on Fibrasil's equity value of R$812.6 million as of December 31, 2025, and will not result in an increase in Telefônica Brasil's share capital.
-
Follows Full Ownership Acquisition
This merger is a logical next step after Telefônica Brasil acquired the remaining 24.99% stake in FiBrasil for R$458.7 million on May 18, 2026, gaining full ownership.
