JBS proposes to buy remaining Pilgrim's Pride shares in stock deal at 2.086 JBS shares each
JBS N.V. submitted a non-binding proposal to Pilgrim's Pride's board to acquire all PPC shares it does not already own, in exchange for 2.086 JBS Class A shares per PPC share. JBS owns about 82% of PPC, and the filing says there is no guarantee a binding agreement will be reached. For PPC minority shareholders, the proposal would replace their PPC shares with JBS shares and end PPC's public listing if completed.
Key points
- Exchange ratio of 2.086 JBS Class A shares per PPC share, based on August 18, 2026 closing prices of $13.66 for JBS and $28.49 for PPC
- JBS currently owns approximately 82% of PPC common stock
- Proposal requires approval by a special committee of independent directors and a majority of votes cast by unaffiliated PPC shares; it is not binding
- If completed, PPC shares would stop trading on Nasdaq and be deregistered
