History

SYN was established as a spin-off from Cyrela on April 11, 2007. Cyrela, in turn, was formed with the merger of the Cyrela Group into Brazil Realty. The former controller of the companies of the Cyrela Group, established in 1962, was dedicated exclusively to the activity of developing residential buildings and office suites in office buildings, and subcontracted the construction and sale of the projects. Brazil Realty was established in 1994 as a joint venture between Cyrela’s controlling shareholder and IRSA, with the purpose of building and leasing high quality office buildings.

As a result of the spin-off, Cyrela transferred its assets that included activities related to the development and acquisition of office buildings and shopping centers, as well as the management services of these properties, to SYN. Each Cyrela shareholder received one share issued by SYN for each share held in Cyrela. The appraisal that was the basis for the transaction was prepared by Terco Grant Thornton. It appraised the spun off amount at R$228.2 million, equivalent to 11.7% of Cyrela’s net worth.
