On September 15, 2026, JBS N.V.’s wholly-owned Brazilian subsidiary, JBS S.A., entered into a definitive association agreement with Viva Holding Ltda. to combine their leather production and processing assets into a new joint venture named JBS Viva. The transaction will result in equal 50% ownership by JBS S.A. and Viva Holding, with parity governance featuring three board members appointed by each party. JBS S.A. will contribute its leather division assets via JBS Couros, while Viva contributes its leather operations and chemical manufacturing assets. Excluded from the deal are collagen activities, specific international plants, and non-leather assets. The parties also agreed to supply raw hides and trimmings to one another post-closing. Completion is subject to customary conditions precedent. JBS N.V. operates in the global food processing industry, primarily as a major meat producer.

JBS N.V. submitted a non-binding proposal to acquire the remaining publicly traded shares of Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation (PPC) not already owned by JBS or its affiliates. JBS currently holds approximately 82% of PPC and proposes an exchange ratio of 2.086 JBS Class A common shares for each PPC share, based on closing prices of $13.66 and $28.49 respectively on August 18, 2026.

JBS N.V. announced a strategic partnership with PT Danantara Investment Management (DIM), the investment arm of Indonesia’s sovereign wealth fund, to form a joint venture focused on protein production investments in Indonesia, Southeast Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. JBS will contribute 100% of its equity interest in its Australian and New Zealand businesses into the Joint Venture Company. DIM will subscribe for an initial 9.64% stake via an $800 million investment at completion, with up to $1.7 billion remaining to be invested over three years, totaling a $2.5 billion commitment. The venture expects to raise an additional $2.5 billion in external debt, bringing total capital to $5 billion. Governance includes a seven-member board with DIM holding significant protective rights. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.
