Queiroz Pereira family merger places 82% of Semapa in a single entity

Jornal de Negócios14 September 2026 at 20:54

The merger of the Queiroz Pereira family companies resulted in the concentration of 82% of Semapa's capital in a single entity. The operation grouped together CIMO and Sodim, two companies owned by the heirs of businessman Pedro Queiroz Pereira.

Before the merger, CIMO held 47.9% of Semapa's share capital, while Sodim owned 33.8% of the same holding. Together, these holdings represented the overwhelming majority of the company's control.

After the completion of the operation, the two companies became integrated into a single entity, which now controls 81.79% of Semapa. This concentration allows the Queiroz Pereira family to exercise near-total dominance over the holding.

The operation is part of the reorganization of the business group controlled by Pedro Queiroz Pereira's heirs, consolidating into a single structure the holdings previously held separately by CIMO and Sodim in Semapa.

Why this matters

This consolidation changes the shareholder structure and control of Semapa, one of the largest Portuguese holdings, directly affecting the company's investors and stakeholders. The unification of Queiroz Pereira's heirs' holdings may have implications for the company's governance and future strategy.

In testing phase, BRT and VLT begin accepting cards in Rio de Janeiro; credit has a fee

The Gentileza Terminal, in the Central Region of Rio de Janeiro, began testing the payment of BRT and VLT fares with credit and debit cards directly at the turnstiles. The City Hall regulated the measure this Monday, defining rules for the future expansion of the service. On debit, the passenger pays the normal fare value; on credit, there is an additional charge of up to 30 cents per trip to cover operational costs. CBN reached out to the City Hall to clarify whether this charge conflicts with a 2022 municipal law that determines that the fare value with card must correspond to the current price.

Wall Street closes in negative territory after calls to halt AI development

"There are farmers who are taking their tractors to Spain to fill up with regular diesel. We cannot live in a country like this"

Portuguese farmers are crossing the border with tractors to buy regular diesel in Spain, because agricultural diesel in Portugal is more expensive than regular diesel in the neighboring country. Pedro Frazão, a farmer heard by CNN Portugal, criticizes the situation, stating that "we cannot live in a country like this" and defends that the State should be on people's side.
