BTG Pactual Moves to Absorb Banco Pan in All-Stock Deal Offering 30% Premium

Shareholder meetings will be called within weeks under central bank review for a deal pitched as a simplification with operational synergies.

Overview

  • BTG Pactual proposed exchanging 0.2128 BTG units for each Banco Pan preferred share, implying a premium of more than 30% to Monday’s closing price.
  • The merger is structured in two steps via Banco Sistema, after which Pan would become an indirect wholly owned subsidiary and its shares would be delisted from B3.
  • Extraordinary shareholder meetings are expected to be convened in about four weeks, with closing targeted by year-end 2025 subject to Banco Central approval.
  • Dissenting Banco Pan shareholders will have withdrawal rights, with similar rights also available to BTG unitholders under Brazilian corporate law.
  • Market reaction was swift on Tuesday as Pan preferred shares rose about 26%–28% while BTG units fell roughly 1.5%–2%.
