Investment firm in talks with Petrobras to acquire LPG unit

Brazilian investment firm Itausa Investimentos SA delivered the highest bid and entered talks with state-controlled oil firm Petroleo Brasileiro SA on the contract to acquire LPG distribution unit Liquigas, the company said in a securities filing.

Itaúsa has partnered with Copagas Distribuidora de Gás SA and Nacional Gas Butano for the offer, Itausa said. Petrobras may still require new bids after the sale contract is drafted, the filing said, confirming a Reuters report on Friday.
