    Elfa told the market on Monday that control passed from Pátria-managed funds to Gravataí Participações after a statutory liquidity event converted preferred shares. Buyer will ask CVM to waive a mandatory tag-along tender and says it will not cancel the public-company registration within one year.

    Valor cites an acquisition price of R$ 620.49 million paid proportionally to selling Pátria funds (USD converted at window FX 5.16). Earnout if Gravataí sells Elfa within 36 months. Confirm unit against the CVM filing.
