A non-binding proposal has been submitted by JBS to acquire the 18% of Pilgrim's Pride it does not already own, offering 2.086 JBS shares for each PPC share. At the August 18 closing prices, that values the minority stake at roughly $1.1 billion. The deal would simplify JBS's corporate structure, eliminate PPC's public company costs, and give minority holders more liquid JBS shares. Approval is required from a special committee of independent PPC directors and a majority of unaffiliated PPC shareholders. The proposal comes just days after JBS reported a $102 million Q2 loss and announced a CEO transition, suggesting management is moving aggressively to streamline operations.
