The takeover of the Brazilian pulp manufacturer Eldorado Brasil by Paper Excellence threatens to fail.

In a securities filing on Tuesday, BEK pulp manufacturer Eldorado Brasil Celulose announced that its parent company J&F Investimentos had exercised its right to terminate the previously concluded agreement with Paper Excellence and CA Investment (Brazil) S.A., a company of the Paper Excellence Group, for the sale of its 50.59% shareholding in Eldorado. Eldorado Brasil said in the filing that it had been informed by J&F that a deadline to conclude the deal with Paper Excellence and CA Investment had expired on 3 September after a 12-months period, which triggered J&F to cancel the deal.

According to Eldorado, CA Investment, which holds 49,40% of Eldorado's shares, has filed an arbitration claim against the company and its parent J&F.

Paper Excellence said that it did not accept J&F's decision to cancel the purchase agreement for the control of Eldorado Brasil and reiterated that it would continue appropriate measures to ensure the preservation of its rights.
