Lojas Americanas said in a filing that it was still studying its options and that considerations over the structure, volumes or deadlines of any operations would be premature.

The Brazil Journal blog on Thursday had said Lojas Americanas was seeking to offer new shares to fund an acquisition. The blog said the funds could be injected into the B2W Cia Digital e-commerce unit.
