Mundie e Advogados is helping US payment products company FleetCor Technologies buy Brazil's largest electronic toll payment company, Servicos e Tecnologia de Pagamentos (Sem Parar), for just over US$1 billion.
Sem Parar's sellers include infrastructure concession groups CCR and Arteris, Sem Parar founder Ivan Toledo, US investment manager Capital Group, Brazilian sugar and ethanol company Raizen and technology company GSMP. CCR hired Machado Associados - Advogados e Consultores for corporate work and is thought to have hired Pedro Dutra Advogados as antitrust counsel, although this was not confirmed; Toledo and Capital worked with two separate teams from Pinheiro Neto Advogados; while GSMP was represented by Porto Lauand Advogados. Other shareholders relied on in-house counsel.
Sem Parar processes more than 10 billion reais (US$2.7 billion) in toll, parking and fuel payments annually. FleetCor, which is carrying out the acquisition through subsidiary DBTrans Administradora de Meios de Pagamento, will fund the deal using cash and borrowings. The transaction awaits regulatory and shareholder approval.
