Brazil, Mar 6, 2002

Varig is preparing to increase its capital by means of an operation which will exclude the participation of FRB Par, its controlling shareholder. The idea is to find an additional partner and more financial resources. A maximum of a 20% share will be sold. Rumored possible buyers are GE, the Banco Pactual and GP investment funds. The company has been g focused on reducing its debts, with a sale and lease-back arrangement with GE allowing it to cut these from R$1.2bil to R$870mil. The failing Transbrasil airline now has no telephone service and is attempting to sell one of its Boeing 767s in order to pay the back salaries of its employees.
