The Juroszek family has taken majority control of Gentoo Media following a €100m refinancing package, according to NEXT.io.
The family’s ownership increased from 26.8% to 59.3% after two family-owned entities acquired newly issued shares for €50m.Debt refinancing and dilution
Gentoo issued approximately 91.9 million new shares as part of the equity raise and secured a further €50m loan. The package is intended to repay €91.5m of bonds due in December 2026. Existing shareholders were diluted by approximately 40.6%.
The transaction comes after Gentoo cut its financial guidance amid the Brazilian market shutdown and wider affiliate-sector pressure. The refinancing addresses near-term debt maturity, while the new ownership structure gives the Juroszek family a controlling position.
