A group of five Brazilian banks will refinance about 11.5 billion reais ($3.6 billion) in loans for ailing Sete Brasil Participações SA for a further 45 days, in a bid to keep the oil rig maker afloat, two sources with direct knowledge of the matter said on Thursday.
State banks Banco do Brasil SA and Caixa Econômica Federal, as well as private-sector lenders Itaú Unibanco Holding SA, Banco Santander Brasil SA and Banco Bradesco SA waived immediate repayment to allow Sete to continue with a reorganization program, said the sources, who requested anonymity due to legal restrictions on discussing the issue publicly.
