SAO PAULO, April 1 (Reuters) - Brazilian shopping mall
operator Aliansce Sonae ALSO3.SA on Friday said that a group
of shareholders in rival BR Malls BRML3.SA has asked for a
vote on a potential tie-up between the companies.
Aliansce Sonae, which has had two tie-up offers rejected by
the BR Malls board, said that asset managers Truxt
Investimentos, Oceana Investimentos and Miles Capital have now
asked for a shareholder meeting to vote on a deal, arguing that
such matters should be decided by the shareholders rather than
the board.
