The disclosure followed the investor’s crossing of Brazil’s 5% regulatory threshold, which requires public notification to the market. FMR said the stake is passive and that it does not seek to influence PRIO’s controlling group or management structure.
According to the filing, the position was built without derivatives, convertible securities, or voting agreements. The funds also reported no arrangements governing the future purchase or sale of PRIO shares.
