This post was originally published on this site

Itau sold 6.78 million shares at $22.65 each, a 4.4% discount to the day’s closing price, the business news website said without identifying the buyer or detailing the size of the bank’s remaining stake.

The report comes almost a month after Itau denied it was in talks to sell a stake in XP to U.S. brokerage Charles Schwab (NYSE:SCHW) Corp.

Neither Itau nor XP responded to Reuters’ requests for comment.
