The Fiagro RZTR11 has settled the legal dispute that has sidelined Fazenda Bom Jardim since April 2026, securing a new tenant, a new lease, and a new purchase option. The price of this resolution is a R$ 49.9 million book write-down—equal to R$ 2.65 per unit—which the market will now have to absorb as the unit price trades under pressure at R$ 67.50.
What Happened to Fazenda Bom Jardim at RZTR11?
The original lease agreement with Grupo Macedo was terminated for default on April 30, 2026. After the group filed for court-supervised reorganization, possession of the property was not returned on schedule, and the fund became entangled in a legal battle. The Court of Goiás denied an emergency injunction for immediate eviction, citing the tenant's right to cure the default. The case remained unresolved for over six months, resulting in an estimated R$ 5.6 million loss in revenue throughout 2026.
The material fact notice published on November 13 closes that chapter. The fund entered into an agreement that mutually settles all obligations between the parties (including those related to the reorganization proceedings), terminates the legal actions, and establishes a new rural lease agreement with Mr. Lindolfo Leão de Macedo Neto—valid through April 30, 2030—along with a new purchase option.
Why Is Net Asset Value Falling?
The farm was previously carried on RZTR11's balance sheet at its estimated market value of R$ 118,273,900.84. Under the agreement, the fund will now record the property at the strike price of the purchase option expiring in April 2027: R$ 68,400,000. The difference—R$ 49,873,900.84—is a book write-down that reduces the fund's net equity.
With approximately 18.8 million units (our estimate based on current net equity of R$ 1.89 billion and a net asset value of R$ 100.30), this equity reduction equals R$ 2.65 per unit, matching the figure reported in the material fact notice. The net asset value per unit is expected to drop from R$ 100.30 to about R$ 97.65 following the accounting adjustment.
All legal proceedings closed; Grupo Macedo's reorganization finalized; new tenant with post-filing obligations.
Farm revalued from R$ 118.3 million to R$ 68.4 million; NAV drops from R$ 100.30 to ~R$ 97.65; price-to-NAV shifts from 0.67 to ~0.69.
What Revenue Does the New Lease Deliver?
The lease requires annual payments in advance: R$ 2,736,000 in April 2027, R$ 3,009,600 in April 2028, and R$ 3,310,560 in April 2029 (covering the period through April 30, 2030). Combined, these total R$ 9.06 million over three years.
In terms of distribution impact, the figure is modest. Divided across the roughly 18.8 million units, each annual installment represents R$ 0.145 to R$ 0.176 per unit—or about R$ 0.012 to R$ 0.015 per month, spread across the year. The current distribution of R$ 0.85 per unit will not rise materially from these receipts, as payments arrive annually and represent less than 2% of the fund's estimated total revenue. The real contribution lies in stabilization: Bom Jardim is generating cash flow once again.
The purchase option price ranges from R$ 68.4 million (for exercise in 2027) to R$ 91,040,400 (for exercise in 2030). If the new tenant exercises the option down the road, the fund could realize a capital gain. In the case of the 2030 expiration, this would represent a potential gain of R$ 22.6 million (R$ 91 million minus R$ 68.4 million), or roughly R$ 1.20 per unit to be distributed as an extraordinary payout.
Are Distributions Still at Risk?
Directly speaking, the monthly distribution has already fallen from R$ 1.05 to R$ 0.85 over the course of 2026—a 19% drop—and management had warned that further cuts were possible during the half. The agreement does not immediately reverse this pressure.
Cash reserves were virtually depleted (R$ 0.01 per unit as of July 2026). RZTR11's leasing model is seasonal: most revenues arrive in annual or semi-annual blocks rather than monthly installments. Because the fund distributes income monthly regardless, some quarters face tighter results. With cash reserves at their limit, any month where inflows fall short of distributions strains the payout capacity.
The Bom Jardim agreement removes a specific risk—default tied up in litigation—but it does not resolve the structural seasonality of revenue or rebuild the cash reserve. The current dividend yield of 12.64% per year based on the R$ 67.50 unit price is real and backed by lease agreements, but payouts may fluctuate month to month.
Has the Market Already Priced This in at R$ 67?
When our previous analysis was published, RZTR11 units traded at R$ 88.04 with a price-to-NAV ratio of 0.90. Today, at R$ 67.50, the discount stands at 33% relative to the current net asset value (price-to-NAV of 0.67). Even after the accounting revaluation reduces the NAV to roughly R$ 97.65, the price-to-NAV would sit at approximately 0.69—leaving the discount substantial. The sale of another farm in October for R$ 200 million demonstrated that the portfolio holds assets that can be realized above book value, making the 33% discount even more significant as an analytical baseline.
Two conflicting forces come into play with this agreement: the removal of legal risk (a positive, as the market had assigned a high risk premium to an open-ended dispute) and the recording of a R$ 49.9 million write-down (a negative for NAV). Typically in these situations, news of a legal settlement helps alleviate part of the risk premium, but the accounting recognition—which arrives in the fund's next report—can introduce volatility before any recovery takes place.

The most worrisome risk has been removed: Bom Jardim is no longer caught in an indefinite legal dispute, and the new lease secures revenue through 2030. For distributions, the immediate impact is minor (an additional R$ 0.012 per unit per month once payments begin in 2027). Structurally, the net asset value will drop by roughly R$ 2.65 in the upcoming report. For investors who bought above R$ 88, this book loss compounds previous drawdowns. For new buyers entering today, the investment thesis looks cleaner without the legal overhang, even though distributions remain subject to seasonal cash flow pressure.
Monitor the accounting recognition — keep an eye on the upcoming Monthly or Quarterly Report: the net asset value will fall by about R$ 2.65. If the unit price stays above R$ 70, the market may have already priced it in; if the price drops in tandem, use the post-adjustment price-to-NAV (~0.69) as your new baseline.
Track the first Bom Jardim payment — R$ 2,736,000 is expected in April 2027. If the payment arrives on time, it confirms the health of the new lease. Any delay would be the first sign that past troubles are repeating.
Watch the December 2026 distribution — cash reserves stood at R$ 0.01 per unit in July. Any drop below R$ 0.85 would indicate that second-half seasonality is weighing heavier than the relief provided by the agreement. If distributions hold steady at this level, the floor appears secure in the short term.
