FIP Operaciones Industriales is a Brazilian company that holds 100% of BRK Operaciones Industriales, which in turn controls three subsidiaries: Aquapolo Ambiental (State of Sao Paulo), BRK Ambiental Jaceaba (State of Minas Gerais) and Triunfo Water Distributor ( State of Rio Grande del Sur). The conclusion of the acquisition process is subject to compliance with the conditions provided in the QPA.
