Louis Dreyfus big stake acquisition of Santelisa Vale

08/04/09 - Santelisa Vale, a company formed in 2007 after the merger of the Santa Elisa and Vale do Rosario sugar and ethanol companies, has just sold a significant stake to Louis Dreyfus Commodities Bioenergia S.A. The exact numbers have not been disclosed.Before the deal with Louis Dreyfus was approved on Monday, April 6th, a host of other contenders, including Sao Martinho and Bunge, had attempted to woo Santelisa Vale. At the time, offers for a 40% stake were estimated by the local business media at BRL 3 billion, or USD 1.4 billion.Together, the two companies will have a combined yearly processing capacity of 40 million tonnes of sugarcane – more than the entire Australian output in the 2007-2008 harvest year, a paltry 36 million tonnes. In milling capacity, Santelisa Vale-Louis Dreyfus are also just a step behind Cosan, the world’s largest producer of sugar and ethanol, which milled 40.3 million tonnes in the 2007-2008 season, producing 3.24 million tonnes of sugar and 1.52 billion liters (400,000 gallons) of ethanol (see MD&A, p. 4, in Form 20-F here). One tonne of sugarcane yields, on average, 80 liters, or 21.16 gallons, of ethanol.Santelisa Vale is choking on the debt it took on in March 2007 to finance its acquisition of Nossa Senhora do Vale do Rosario. At the time, the owners of Santa Elisa, the Biagi family, offered Santa Elisa itself as collateral and took on USD 675 million in debt from Bradesco – until recently, Brazil’s largest private bank. Now they are struggling with a debt load of BRL 3 billion, or USD 1.4 billion.With the acquisition of a stake in Santelisa Vale, Louis Dreyfus is extending its shopping spree in Brazil. In February 2007, the company doubled its local milling capacity when it acquired four mills belonging to the Tavares de Melo Group. At Santelisa Vale, Louis Dreyfus joins a coterie of investors and partners that includes Goldman Sachs, Global Foods, Carlyle/Riverstone, and Discovery Capital.Other European players are also significantly expanding their production and trading operations in Brazil. Sucden, Tate and Lyle, Czarnikow, and Tereos, which owns Acucar Guarani, are all busy helping their respective countries in Europe kick the sugar beet subsidy habit.

Optimism text

The Ziglar Weekly Newsletter » April 7, 2009, Edition 14: "I’m truly fortunate because I am optimistic by nature. I might not spend my last two dollars to buy a money belt, but I am very optimistic about the future. Dr. William Arthur Ward said that “the doors of opportunity are open to the optimist. Gates of achievement swing wide for the person who sees infinite possibilities in the insignificant.”
Most of us would rather be around a person who sees hope in the future than one who sees nothing but trouble ahead. I’m talking about the kind of optimism which sees a solution in every problem, optimism that looks for the solution instead of concentrating on the problem. In his 1828 Dictionary, Noah Webster said that optimism is the “opinion or doctrine that everything in nature is ordered for the best, or, the order of things in the universe that is adapted to produce the most good.” The pessimist and pessimism are not identified by Noah Webster in his dictionary.
Optimism is a valid approach to life because when we encounter difficulties, if we are optimistic we will immediately start thinking about a solution to the difficulty, whereas the pessimist will look at a problem and ask, “I wonder what’s going to happen next?” or say, “There’s nothing I can do.” The interesting thing is psychologists will tell you those are self-fulfilling prophecies. That’s the reason I so love what Dr. Ward says about optimism: “Deep optimism is aware of problems, but recognizes the solution; knows about difficulties, but believes they can be overcome; sees the negative, but accentuates the positive; is exposed to the worst, but expects the best; has reason to complain, but prefers to smile.”
I rest my case and encourage you to think optimistical"
