Creditors of Nelson Tanure have taken part of the businessman's shares in Light and Alliança Saúde companies, as disclosed in relevant facts by the firms on Saturday (7). The moves involve funds linked to Tanure and do not aim to change the companies' control. Additionally, the creditors became holders of a R$ 477.16 million debt in Alliança.
On Saturday (7), Light and Alliança Saúde companies disclosed in relevant facts that creditors of Nelson Tanure executed guarantees and took portions of their shares. In Light, the Opus fund, linked to the creditors, acquired 9.9% of the company through share migration. The fund stated that the shares do not seek to change control or administrative structure and is promoting the sale of the stake, with no intention to remain a shareholder.
In Alliança Saúde, a medical diagnostics firm, Opus now holds 49.11% of the share capital. Stakes of Lormont Participações and Fonte de Saúde fund, both tied to Tanure, were reduced to 6.96%, ceasing to be controlling. The Infratelco fund, managed by Prisma Capital and one of the creditors, got 10.72% of Alliança and also plans to sell its portion.
Opus and Infratelco became creditors of Alliança for R$ 477.16 million, intending to convert this amount into shares via capital increase. Lormont and Fonte de Saúde will capitalize R$ 55.45 million in advances for future capital increase. Nelson Tanure did not comment on the credit execution.
These changes follow the January asset freeze of Tanure, ordered by Justice Dias Toffoli at the STF, per PGR request. The measure ties to probes into frauds at Banco Master, liquidated by the Central Bank in November, involving R$ 12 billion in fake credit operations. The Federal Police points Tanure as a hidden partner in the bank, influencing through complex funds. Toffoli approved the freeze on January 6, noting the urgency of the investigations.
Tanure was targeted in searches during Operation Compliance Zero, probing Master frauds. His career includes investments in Prio, Gafisa, Oi, Gazeta Mercantil, and Jornal do Brasil.
