With twists comparable to the final of the novel, ended on Friday, 14, the dispute between Magazine Luiza and Centauro by Netshoes. Who took the company was Magazine Luiza, whose purchase proposal was approved by 90.32% of the shareholders of Netshoes in the Extraordinary General Assembly (AGE) held in the capital of São Paulo. Magalu acquires the integrality of shares issued by Netshoes for the price of US $3.70 per share, totaling approximately US $115 million. The operation will be completed by June 19th.
