GPA reduces debt from R$ 4.5 billion to R$ 2.1 billion in creditor agreement

2 sources · 06 May 2026 · Share coverage ·

GPA reached an agreement with creditors to restructure R$ 4.5 billion in debt, cutting the amount in half to R$ 2.1 billion. The agreement was approved by creditors holding 57% of liabilities and includes three options: term extension, equity conversion, and 70% discount.

GPA entered extrajudicial recovery in early March 2025 due to an imbalance between its operational reality and the level of debt accumulated over time. Extrajudicial recovery is a legal instrument that allows companies to renegotiate their debts with creditors outside the judicial environment, avoiding bankruptcy.
