Luxembourg – September 07, 2026 -- Adecoagro S.A. (NYSE: AGRO) has completed its acquisition of the Caarapó sugar mill from Raízen Group for R$705 million (approximately US$136 million), paid in cash at closing, following the deal first announced on July 20, 2026.

Deal values crushing capacity at $39 per ton

Based on Caarapó's crushing volume of 3.5 million tons during the 2025/26 harvest, the transaction implies a purchase price of roughly US$39 per ton of crushing capacity. The mill, now under Adecoagro's ownership and management, has installed capacity to process 6 to 7 million tons of cane annually, well above recent throughput levels.

San Mateo, Calif. – September 07, 2026 -- California Pool Partners (CPP) has formally launched an owner-centric platform positioned as an alternative to traditional private equity roll-ups in the pool service industry, with operations now established in Los Angeles and San Diego and a third California market targeted for expansion this fall.

CPP acquires Payan Pools, a business built from a $23,000 route in 1987

The platform's recent acquisition of Payan Pools, described as one of San Diego County's most respected pool service companies, illustrates its approach. Founder Javier Payan grew the business over nearly four decades after purchasing the original route in 1987 and was not actively seeking a sale when CPP approached him.

"If I was to write down what it would take for me to sell this business, it was all right there. They checked all my boxes," Payan said of the deal.
