Sao Paulo, June 20, 2016 – JBS has presented the Board of Directors with a Divestment Program for a number of company assets. Through the program, the company believes it will raise approximately R$ 6 billion (in addition to the R$ 1 billion already announced following the sale of the company’s operations in Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay).

 

The assets involved in the Divestment Program are: (i) disposal of the company’s 19.2% stake in Vigor Alimentos S.A.; (ii) disposal of the company’s stake in Moy Park, and (iii) disposal of Five Rivers Cattle Feeding and farms.
