Upon the settlement of the Exchange Offers, holders of Old Notes who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw such Old Notes prior to the Expiration Date will receive an equivalent principal amount of New Notes of the applicable series. JBS expects that such settlement will occur on or about January 14, 2026.

None of the Co-Issuers will receive proceeds from the Exchange Offers. The Co-Issuer will issue the New Notes under the same indentures that govern the applicable series of Old Notes. The Exchange Offers do not represent a new financing transaction.
The Exchange Offers have been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), pursuant to an effective registration statement on Form F-4 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Exchange Offers were made pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in a prospectus dated December 11, 2025, which has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and forms a part of the Registration Statement.
