Carbon Group seeks to renegotiate R$371.5 million in debt

• 

  Grupo Carbon filed for out-of-court restructuring in a São Paulo court to renegotiate R$371.5 million in debt.

• 

  The filing was made on October 5 by C Blindados and its subsidiaries Opera Glass and Vertco Blindagem, and covers unsecured creditors.

• 

  The company said its financial strain came from borrowing to expand before the investments generated returns as quickly as expected.

• 

  Creditors holding 47.6% of the claims had agreed to the restructuring plan when it was filed; the law allows the process to begin with support from one-third of claims, with more than half required within 90 days.

• 

  Carbon said it brought the filing forward because of three eviction lawsuits over properties in Barueri, Jarinu and Rio de Janeiro, with combined rent of R$459,000 a month.

• 

  The company says its underlying operation remains viable: net revenue rose 45% in 2025 to R$673 million, while EBITDA increased from R$15 million to R$41 million.
