MATERIAL FACT
JBS INVESTS US$150 MILLION IN MULTIPROTEIN HUB IN THE MIDDLE EAST
JBS N.V. (“JBS”) informs its shareholders and the market in general that it has entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (SPA) with Oman Food Investment Holding Company S.A.O.C. (“OFC” and, together with JBS, “Parties”) to establish a Joint Venture between the Parties through a company based in the Netherlands (“JV”), which will own 100% of the businesses currently operated in Oman by the companies A’Namaa Poultry Co. SAOC, responsible for an integrated project for the production and processing of chicken meat, and Al Bashayer Meat Company SAOC, dedicated to the confinement and processing of beef and lamb meat.
The JV will aim to establish a protein production hub in Oman to ensure food security for the population, in accordance with the Sultanate’s Vision 2040, and to position the country as a center for the production of halal products suitable for export to various markets.
JBS will invest USD 150 million in equity in the JV, holding 80% of its shares, while OFC will hold the remaining 20%. This investment implies an Enterprise Value pre-money of USD 167.5 million for the JV.
The resources will be used mainly for the completion of (i) the A’Namaa integrated poultry plant, located in the Ibri region in northern Oman, approximately 380 kilometers west of Muscat (the nation’s capital) and 280 kilometers south of Dubai, United Arab Emirates; and (ii) the Al Bashayer’s beef and lamb processing facility in Thumrait, in southern Oman.
With this, we estimate that the operation will reach a static industrial production capacity of approximately 300 thousand tons per year. This capacity corresponds to the daily processing of approximately 1,000 head of cattle, 5,000 lambs, and 600,000 chicken. Production is expected to start within six months for beef and lamb, and within 12 months for poultry.
We estimate that the completion of the project will generate more than 3,000 direct jobs over the next five years in Oman throughout the entire value chain, contributing significantly to local economic development, the qualification of the workforce and the growth of Oman's agri-food sector.
The consummation of the transaction is subject to compliance with usual conditions precedent for transactions of this nature, including applicable regulatory approvals.
JBS will keep the market duly informed of the transaction's evolution in accordance with current legislation.
