Pilgrim's Pride appoints Joanita Karoleski to board, re-appoints Menon as JBS director
Pilgrim's Pride added Joanita Karoleski to its Board of Directors as a JBS Director on February 4, 2025, and re-appointed Mr. Menon, reclassifying him from an Equity Director to a JBS Director. The Board said the appointments were made to meet a requirement in the company's charter and bylaws on the total number of directors and JBS Directors, following stockholder approval at the December 2024 special meeting. The filing describes both directors as independent and says neither is expected to serve on committees.
