Marisa elects new president and chief financial officer resigns – 02/17/2023 – Market

Marisa Lojas announced on Thursday night (16) that its board of directors elected João Pinheiro Nogueira Batista as chief executive, according to a material fact.

The company also said that Renê Santiago, chief financial officer, resigned. The executive will be replaced by Roberta Ribeiro Leal, who has worked for companies such as Embraer, Guarani, Panapanema and Azul.

The former president of the retailer, Adalberto Pereira Santos, resigned at the beginning of the month, being replaced until then by Alberto Kohn de Penhas, commercial director.

At the beginning of the month, the retail chain announced the hiring of BR Partners to advise it in the process of renegotiating its financial debt and Galeazzi Associados to support it in the improvement of the cost structure.

Nogueira Batista, who was Petrobras’ financial director, was elected at the beginning of the week as president of Marisa’s board of directors. The retailer said on Thursday that he will remain on the board, whose command, however, will be exercised on an interim basis by Luis Paulo Rosenberg.

Rio Bravo Investimentos disclosed this Friday (17th) that the Brasil Varejo Real Estate Investment Fund did not receive payment of January rent from Marisa, the fund’s main tenant, which accounts for 81.47% of its real estate revenue. The lease was due in February.

The manager, which is the fiduciary administrator institution of FII Brasil Varejo, stated in a material fact to the Comissão De Valores Mobiliários (CVM) that default represents a negative impact on the fund’s result of approximately R$ 5.95 per share.

Sought by Reuters, Marisa could not immediately comment.

“Rio Bravo points out that, during the month of February, until the disclosure of this material fact, it did not receive any prior communication from the lessee about the non-payment, as well as the real estate consultant did not receive notification on the matter”, he said.

Rio Bravo added that it is taking, together with the real estate consultant, “the appropriate measures for collection, preservation of the rights and interests of the fund and its shareholders, as well as seeking to settle the arrears of the lessee as soon as possible”.
