Petrobras shareholders approve Liquigas sale for $816 MM

SAO PAULO (Reuters) -- Shareholders in Brazil's state-controlled oil company Petroleo Brasileiro SA approved on Tuesday the sale of Liquigas Distribuidora SA to a unit of Ultrapar Participações SA for $816 million, according to a securities filing.

Petrobras, as the company is known, said in a separate filing that it may have to close its money-losing Citepe-Suape petrochemical complex if it is unable to sell the operation due to a recent court ruling.
