Axia Energia: new tickers on B3 and NYSE
Axia Energia—Eletrobras’ new name—debuted its tickers on B3 this Monday: AXIA3 (common), AXIA5 (preferred A) and AXIA6 (preferred B). On the NYSE, the company’s ADRs now trade as AXIA (common) and AXIA PR (preferred), replacing EBR and EBR.B. Axia marked the change with a bell‑ringing ceremony at B3 around 9 a.m. (Brasília). At 10:45 a.m., AXIA3 rose 1.84% to R$59.76 while AXIA6 advanced 1.57% to R$62.92.
B3’s own investor portal Bora Investir confirms the new codes and trading name (“AXIA ENERGIA”). A Citibank depositary notice for the ADR program details the NYSE symbols, explicitly listing AXIA PR as the preferred ADR. Bora Investir+1
The rebrand follows Eletrobras’ privatization (2022) and caps a broader identity shift that the company says emphasizes financial discipline and operational excellence—“Axia” references “value” and “axis.” InfoMoney
Kepler Weber (KEPL3): GPT puts R$11 on the table
Kepler Weber clarified a non‑binding proposal from A‑AG Holdco, acting as Grain & Protein Technologies (GPT), with an indicative price of R$11.00 per share. The company granted 90 days of exclusivity for due diligence and negotiations but stressed there is no binding agreement at this stage. The proposed price implies a 48.3% premium versus the 60‑day VWAP prior to exclusivity.
As context, KEPL3 closed last Friday (Nov. 7) at R$10.48; shares were around R$7 near mid‑October when exclusivity was announced.
Oi: bankruptcy ruling with provisional continuity of services
In the most dramatic development of the day, the 7th Business Court of Rio de Janeiroconverted Oi’s court‑supervised reorganization into bankruptcy, citing the company’s “technical insolvency.” Judge Simone Gastesi Chevrand ordered an orderly liquidation of assets to maximize recovery to creditors and authorized provisional continuity of telecom services under a court‑appointed administrator to avoid disruptions.

In a separate decision, the court maintained the recovery proceedings for Oi subsidiaries Serede and Tahto, noting these units have conditions to recover independently of the parent.
Earlier in the session—before the ruling became public—OIBR3 had already been sliding on reports that the court‑appointed management described an “insolvency state”; by around 11:45 a.m., OIBR3 was down nearly 18%. Money Times
