Botafogo SAF Rejects Eagle’s Deal Proposal, Keeping Legal Standoff Alive

The SAF told a Rio court the terms were unilateral and premature.

Overview

  • The petition filed on September 18 rejects Eagle’s conditions, including mandatory participation of independent director Christopher Mallon and suspension of any acts taken without him.
  • Eagle, which holds 90% of the SAF, maintains a court action seeking to nullify decisions from meetings held on July 17.
  • SAF lawyers acknowledged that negotiations between John Textor and his partners remain unresolved.
  • A September 12 General Assembly resolved not to implement the July 17 measures, including a planned transfer of assets to a Cayman Islands entity.
  • Eagle appointed Mallon with executive powers, with support from CEO Michael Gerlinger and Michele Kang, to oversee Textor’s management.
