SCHEDULE 13D

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Suzano S.A. (SUZ) has a new Schedule 13D reporting coordinated ownership among Suzano Holding S.A. (SH), members of the Feffer family, Alden Fundo de Investimento em Acoes and the “Fanny Parties.” Together, they may be deemed to beneficially own 607,747,376 common shares, about 48.1% of Suzano’s outstanding shares as of June 30, 2026, creating a “group” solely for Section 13(d) purposes.

Control of Suzano remains with SH, David, Daniel, Jorge and Ruben Feffer and Alden, acting under a Voting Agreement. A 20‑year SH Corporate Reorganization gradually exchanges the Fanny Parties’ SH shares for Suzano shares held by SH, and the Fanny Parties are subject to a Lock-Up Agreement restricting sales. The filing states the Fanny Parties do not exercise or share control of Suzano and are not controlling shareholders under Brazilian law.

Filing Explained

The completed first exchange transfers 8,772,223 existing Suzano shares from SH to Fanny Parties, with voting and transfer restrictions attached.

On August 20, 2026, the first stated step of the SH Corporate Reorganization took effect: SH cancelled 8,772,223 SH shares and delivered the same number of existing Suzano shares to the Fanny Parties, attaching those shares to their shareholders’ agreement and lock-up.

The filing describes delivery of Suzano shares held by SH rather than an issuance by Suzano. Covered shares must be voted as one block, while the Fanny Parties waived rights to elect Suzano directors or Fiscal Council members.

The reorganization is scheduled to proceed over 20 years, but either side may require acceleration after a firm, bona fide and irrevocable proposal involving a transfer of control or loss of majority voting ownership of SH.

Schedule 13D regulatory
"Accordingly, the Reporting Persons are filing this , which, with respect to the Schedule 13G filers, hereby amends and replaces the Schedule 13G."
A Schedule 13D is a legal document that investors file with regulators when they buy a large enough stake in a company to potentially influence its management or decisions. It provides details about the investor’s intention, ownership stake, and plans, helping other investors understand who is gaining control and what their motives might be.
Fanny Parties Shareholders' Agreement financial
"The Fanny Parties and SH entered into a shareholders' agreement, effective as of August 20, 2026 (the "Fanny Parties Shareholders' Agreement")"
Voting Agreement financial
"are parties to a voting agreement dated September 28, 2017, as amended on July 12, 2022, relating to certain Shares"
A voting agreement is a legally binding pact in which shareholders promise to cast their votes the same way on certain corporate matters, such as electing directors or approving a merger. It matters to investors because it changes who controls company decisions and makes outcomes more predictable—like a group of neighbors agreeing in advance to vote the same way on a community rule, it can strengthen or limit the influence of other shareholders and affect the company’s future direction.
Lock-Up Agreement financial
"The Fanny Parties are parties to a lock-up agreement dated July 17, 2026 (the "Lock-Up Agreement")"
A lock-up agreement is a contract that prevents company insiders and early investors from selling their shares for a fixed period after a stock sale, often after an initial public offering. It matters to investors because it temporarily limits the number of shares that can hit the market, which can keep the share price steadier; when the lock-up ends, a sudden increase in available shares can create extra volatility, revealing insiders’ confidence or lack thereof.
Transfer Agreement financial
"are parties to a stock transfer agreement dated as of September 28, 2017, as amended on July 12, 2022 (the "Transfer Agreement")"
Brazilian Corporations Law regulatory
"do not meet the requirements to be deemed controlling shareholders under Article 116 of the Brazilian Corporations Law"
A set of legal rules that governs how corporations are formed, run, and wound down in Brazil, covering board duties, shareholder rights, financial reporting, takeovers and mergers. Think of it as the rulebook that tells public and private companies how to behave and what information they must share; investors use it to assess governance quality, legal protections for shareholders and the reliability of a company’s disclosures, all of which affect risk and value.
