JBS bids to take full control of Pilgrim's Pride
JBS, the world's largest meatpacker, offered to buy the remaining 18% of Pilgrim's Pride, proposing 2.086 JBS Class A shares per Pilgrim's Pride share, valuing the deal at $28.49 per share. JBS already owns 82% of Pilgrim's Pride. The deal aims to delist the US poultry producer, simplifying its structure and reducing costs. Pilgrim's Pride shares rose 7% in extended trading, while JBS was up around 1%. The proposal is non-binding and subject to approval by Pilgrim's Pride's independent directors
