Xavier Bragança Advogados represented Azul Linhas Aéreas Brasileiras in a R$113.9 million ($57 million) lawsuit filed before the Brazilian Federal Courts to avoid the payment of aeronautical charges that aim to support and ensure the air navigation security, as these could not be levied based on the Brazilian Airspace Control Department’s ordinance. When it came time to file three execution actions to receive debits
related to an extrajudicial executor instrument, payable according to conditions in the agreement between the parties, Petrobras Dis- tribuidora retained the services of this firm. The transactions were val- ued at R$2.8 million, R$2 million and R$1 million. The firm also provided counsel to Energisa in relation to the deben-
ture placement under the fifth issuance of unsecured debentures, di- vided into two series, non-convertible into shares, based on the CVM Instruction number 400, as of December 29 2003, as amended. The placement was worth R$400 million and closed in July 2012. In June of the same year, Xavier Bragança provided counsel to OAS
on a financing deal employing a hybrid structure comprising two series of notes totaling $445.2 million and loans amounting to $82 million, for the construction of the Vía Parque Rímac toll road that will connect Lima to Callao. The transaction had a total value of $527.2 million.
