Set forth on Schedules I through XIII attached to Amendment No. 8 to this Statement (“Amendment No. 8”), and incorporated herein by reference, are the (a) name, (b) citizenship, (c) residence or business address
and (d) present principal occupation or employment and the name, principal business and address of any corporation or other organization in which such employment is conducted with respect to each of the directors and executive officers, to the
extent applicable, of JBS Wisconsin, JBS USA FC, JBS USA FC Holdings, JBS Luxembourg, JBS Ansembourg, JBS USA Lux, JBS USA Holding Lux, JBS Global Meat, JBS Holding Luxembourg, JBS Global Luxembourg, JBS Investments Luxembourg, JBS Brazil and
J&FI.
Except as described below, during the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons or, to the best of the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, any person named in any of Schedules I through XIII attached to Amendment No. 8
has been (a) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (b) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is
subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
On May 3, 2017, certain officers of J&FI and of the companies controlled by J&FI (including JBS Brazil and the Reporting Persons that are subsidiaries of JBS Brazil) (collectively, the “J&FI Group”),
including the Batistas and Francisco de Assis e Silva, who were senior executives or board members of J&FI and other J&FI Group companies, entered into cooperation agreements (acordos de colaboração)
(the “Cooperation Agreements”) with the Office of the Prosecutor General of Brazil (Procuradoria-Geral da República) in connection with the execution of certain illicit conduct by J&FI and such
individuals acting in their capacity as J&FI Group executives. The annexes to the Cooperation Agreements include admissions of improper payments to politicians and political parties in Brazil during a ten-year period in exchange for receiving,
or attempting to receive, favorable treatment for certain J&FI Group companies in Brazil.
On June 5, 2017, J&FI, for itself and as the controlling shareholder of the J&FI Group companies, entered into a leniency agreement (the “Leniency Agreement”) with the Brazilian Federal Prosecution
Service (Ministério Público Federal), whereby J&FI assumed responsibility for the conduct that was described in the annexes to the Cooperation Agreements. In connection with the Leniency Agreement,
J&FI agreed to pay a fine of R$8.0 billion and to contribute an additional R$2.3 billion in social projects in Brazil, adjusted for inflation, over a 25-year period.
Various proceedings by Brazilian governmental authorities, including criminal proceedings, remain pending against J&FI and certain of its former or current officers seeking to invalidate the Cooperation Agreements
and/or impose more severe penalties for additional alleged illicit conduct that was not disclosed in the annexes to the Cooperation Agreements.
On October 14, 2020, J&FI, JBS Brazil and the Batistas entered into a settlement agreement (the “SEC Settlement”) with the SEC. Under the SEC Settlement, the SEC issued an Order Instituting Cease-and-Desist
Proceedings Pursuant to Section 21C of the Exchange Act (the “SEC Order”) finding securities law violations by such parties that resulted in the Issuer failing to maintain accurate books and records and internal accounting controls.
According to the SEC Order, the violations, which related to certain intercompany transactions from 2009 to 2015, were unbeknownst to the management of the Issuer.
On October 14, 2020, J&FI reached an agreement (the “J&FI Plea Agreement”), with the U.S. Department of Justice regarding violations stemming from the same facts and conduct that were the subject of the
Leniency Agreement and the Cooperation Agreements. Pursuant to the J&FI Plea Agreement, J&FI pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to violate the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The J&FI Plea Agreement imposed a fine of US$256.5
million, and J&FI was required to make a payment of US$128.2 million under the J&FI Plea Agreement (due to J&FI receiving a 50% credit for amounts paid to Brazilian authorities).
The Reporting Persons have entered into a Joint Filing Agreement, dated as of August 13, 2021, which is included as Exhibit 99.1 to Amendment No. 8, pursuant to which they have agreed to file Amendment No. 8 and any
further amendments to the Statement jointly in accordance with Rule 13d-1(k)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Considerations
Item 3 of the Statement is hereby amended and supplemented by the addition of the following:
JBS Brazil anticipates that $26.50 per share of Common Stock will be expended in acquiring all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock not already owned by JBS Brazil and its subsidiaries. JBS Brazil anticipates that
the acquisition of the shares would be funded with cash on hand, but may consider debt financing alternatives. The information set forth in Item 4 of this Statement is hereby incorporated by reference in this Item 3.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Item 4 of the Statement is hereby amended and supplemented by the addition of the following:
On August 12, 2021, JBS Brazil delivered to the board of directors of the Issuer (the “Issuer’s Board”) a letter setting forth a proposal to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock that are not
owned by JBS Brazil or its subsidiaries for a purchase price of $26.50 per share in cash (the “Proposal”). A copy of the Proposal is filed as Exhibit 99.2 to Amendment No. 8, and the information set forth in the Proposal is incorporated by
reference herein. On August 12, 2021, JBS Brazil issued a press release in connection with the Proposal, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.3 to Amendment No. 8.
JBS Brazil indicated in the Proposal that it expects that a fully empowered special committee of independent and disinterested directors appointed by the Issuer’s Board (the “Special Committee”) will consider
the Proposal and make a recommendation to the Issuer’s Board. JBS Brazil also stated in the Proposal that it will not move forward with the transaction contemplated by the Proposal unless the proposed transaction is approved by the Special
Committee, advised by independent legal and financial advisors, and that the proposed transaction will be subject to a non-waivable condition requiring the approval of a majority of the aggregate voting power represented by the shares of Common
Stock that are not owned by JBS Brazil or its affiliates.
The Proposal may result in one or more of the transactions, events or actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, including, without limitation, an acquisition of additional securities of
the Issuer, an extraordinary corporate transaction (such as a merger) involving the Issuer, delisting of the Common Stock from the Nasdaq Global Select Market and other material changes in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure.
No assurances can be given that the transaction contemplated by the Proposal or any other potential transaction involving JBS Brazil (or any other Reporting Person) and the Issuer will be consummated, or, if a
transaction is undertaken, as to its terms or timing. JBS Brazil reserves the right to modify or withdraw the Proposal at any time. JBS Brazil reserves the right to formulate other plans or make other proposals which could result in one or more of
the transactions, events or actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, and to modify or withdraw any such plan or proposal at any time.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
Item 5 of the Statement is hereby amended and replaced in its entirety as follows:
(a) and (b)
The responses of the Reporting Persons to Rows (7) through (13) of the cover pages of Amendment No. 8 and the information set forth in Item 4 of this Statement are hereby incorporated by reference in this Item 5. As a
result of the ownership structure and other relationships described in Item 2 of the Statement, each of the Reporting Persons is the beneficial owner, with shared voting and dispositive power with the other Reporting Persons, of 195,445,936 shares
of Common Stock, of which JBS Wisconsin is the direct beneficial owner, that were acquired in connection with the Purchase Agreement and Contribution Agreement. The percentage of the class of securities identified pursuant to Item 1 beneficially
owned by each Reporting Person is based on 243,675,522 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of July 28, 2021.
Except as disclosed in this Statement, none of the Reporting Persons or, to the best of the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, any of the persons listed in Schedules I through XIII attached to Amendment No. 8, beneficially
owns any shares of Common Stock or has the right to acquire any shares of Common Stock.
Except as disclosed in this Statement, none of the Reporting Persons or, to the best of the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, any of the persons listed in Schedules I through XIII attached to Amendment No. 8, presently has
the power to vote or to direct the vote or to dispose or direct the disposition of any of the shares of Common Stock that they may be deemed to beneficially own.
As of the date hereof, each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares reported on this Statement, except to the extent of such Reporting Person’s respective pecuniary interest therein.
(c) Except as described herein, none of the Reporting Persons or, to the best of their knowledge, any of the persons listed in Schedules I through XIII attached to Amendment No. 8, has effected any transaction in any
of the shares of Common Stock during the past 60 days.
(d) Except as described herein, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no persons other than the Reporting Persons have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the
proceeds from the sale of the shares to which this Statement relates.
(e) Not Applicable.

VIA EMAIL:
Board of Directors
Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation
1770 Promontory Circle
Greeley, CO 80634
Dear Members of the Board of Directors:
JBS S.A. (“JBS”) is pleased to submit this proposal to acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation (the “Company” or “PPC”) that are not owned by JBS or its subsidiaries for a purchase price of $26.50
per share in cash (the “Proposal”). The Board of Directors of JBS has unanimously authorized the submission of this Proposal. Our Proposal offers immediate liquidity to the Company’s public stockholders at an extremely attractive value.
Our Proposal, which exceeds PPC’s 52-week high trading price, represents a 17% premium to today’s closing price of PPC’s shares of common stock, a 26% premium to the closing price one week ago, and a 22% premium to today’s trailing 30-calendar
day closing average.
We wish to emphasize that, in our capacity as a stockholder of the Company, we are only interested in acquiring the shares of the Company that we do not currently own, and accordingly we have no interest in a disposition or sale of our
holdings in the Company and we have no interest in participating in an alternative change of control transaction involving the Company. In our capacity as a stockholder of the Company, we would not vote in favor of any alternative sale, merger
or similar transaction involving the Company.
It is our expectation that a fully empowered special committee of independent and disinterested directors appointed by the Company’s Board of Directors will consider our Proposal and make a recommendation to the Company’s Board of Directors.
We will not move forward with the Proposal unless it is approved by such a special committee, advised by independent legal and financial advisors. In addition, our Proposal will be subject to a non-waivable condition requiring the approval of a
majority of the aggregate voting power represented by the shares of PPC common stock that are not owned by JBS or its affiliates.
This Proposal is an expression of interest only, and we reserve the right to withdraw or modify our Proposal in any respect at any time. No legal obligation with respect to the Proposal or any other transaction shall arise unless and until
mutually acceptable definitive transaction documentation is executed by JBS and PPC.
We are available at your convenience to discuss any aspects of our Proposal.
Sincerely,
|
/s/ Jeremiah Alphonsus O’Callaghan

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
JBS Announces Proposal to Acquire Remaining Publicly Traded Shares of Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation
São Paulo, August 12, 2021 – JBS S.A. (“JBS” – B3: JBSS3; OTCQX: JBSAY) today announced that it has submitted to the Board of Directors of Pilgrim’s Pride
Corporation (NASDAQ: PPC) (“PPC”) a proposal for JBS to acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock of PPC that are not owned by JBS or its subsidiaries for a price of $26.50 per share in cash (the “Proposed Transaction”).
As a producer and supplier of all major animal proteins around the world, JBS has been actively reinvesting its capital to grow, providing increased opportunities for producer partners and customers. JBS’s existing majority ownership in PPC has
enabled JBS to expand its portfolio in the United States beyond beef and broaden its retail distribution network. The proposed acquisition of the remaining shares in PPC not owned by JBS or its subsidiaries would further simplify JBS’s corporate
structure and enhance future strategic flexibility to grow and better serve its customers.
The Proposed Transaction consideration, which exceeds PPC’s 52-week high trading price, represents a 17% premium to August 12th closing price of PPC’s shares of common stock, a 26% premium to the closing price one week ago, and a 22%
premium to August 12th trailing 30-calendar day closing average.
The Proposed Transaction would be subject to the approval of a fully empowered special committee of independent and disinterested directors appointed by the PPC Board of Directors, advised by independent legal and financial advisors. In
addition, the Proposed Transaction would be subject to the approval of holders of a majority of the aggregate voting power represented by shares of PPC common stock that are not owned by JBS or its affiliates and other customary closing conditions.
Advisors
Barclays is serving as financial advisor and Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP is serving as legal advisor to JBS.

circumstances that may or may not occur. Future results and shareholder value creation may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Many of the factors that will determine these results and values are
beyond our ability to control or predict. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and, except as required by law, JBS undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise.

Additional Information and Where to Find It
This communication relates to a proposal which JBS has made to acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock of PPC that are not owned by JBS or its subsidiaries. In furtherance of this Proposed Transaction and subject to future
developments, JBS and, if a negotiated transaction is agreed, PPC, as applicable, may file a proxy statement, a tender offer statement or other documents with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). This communication is not a
substitute for any proxy statement, tender offer statement or other document JBS and/or PPC may file with the SEC in connection with the Proposed Transaction.
INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE PROXY STATEMENT OR TENDER OFFER STATEMENT AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SEC CAREFULLY IN THEIR ENTIRETY IF AND WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT
INFORMATION ABOUT JBS, PPC AND THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION. Investors and security holders will be able to obtain copies of these documents (if and when available) and other documents filed with the SEC by JBS and/or PPC free of charge through at
www.sec.gov or from JBS.
Participants in Solicitation
This communication is neither a solicitation of a proxy nor a substitute for any proxy statement or other filings that may be made with the SEC should the Proposed Transaction go forward. Nonetheless, JBS and its affiliates and their directors
and executive officers and certain employees may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the holders of PPC common stock with respect to the Proposed Transaction. Information about such parties and a description of their
interests will be included in the materials that JBS expects will be filed by JBS and/or PPC with the SEC should the Proposed Transaction go forward. These documents (if and when available) may be obtained free of charge from the SEC’s website
http://www.sec.gov or from JBS.
