JBS to buy Flora from controlling shareholder J&F for US$542 million, paid in shares
JBS N.V. agreed to acquire Flora Produtos de Higiene e Limpeza S.A., a Brazilian personal care and household products company, from its controlling shareholder J&F, in a transaction valued at US$542 million including assumed debt. JBS also agreed to buy Canal Rural, a Brazilian agribusiness media company, for R$88.1 million, and both deals are related-party transactions to be paid mainly in JBS Class A shares, which would add to the share count and dilute existing holders.
