Insights

JBS approves a defined cash dividend with clear dates and tax treatment.

JBS N.V. is distributing USD 1.00 per common share from retained earnings, with payment on June 17, 2026 and a record date of May 18, 2026. This represents a direct cash return to equity holders.

For Brazilian Depositary Receipt investors, the company estimates a gross amount of R$ 4.91 per BDR, derived from the R$ 4.91 PTAX dollar exchange rate on May 13, 2026. Actual amounts in Reais will be confirmed after the company’s depositary receives funds.

A 15% Dutch withholding tax will be retained on dividends, and BDR holders also face IOF on the foreign exchange transaction. The net cash received by different investor groups will therefore depend on their specific tax situation and the final BRL amount set after June 17, 2026.

Brazilian Depositary Receipts financial
"securities brokers used by holders of the Company’s Brazilian Depositary Receipts (“BDRs”)"
Brazilian Depositary Receipts (BDRs) are certificates traded on Brazilian exchanges that represent ownership of shares in foreign companies, allowing local investors to buy and sell exposure to those overseas stocks without opening foreign brokerage accounts. They matter because they let investors diversify across global companies using local currency and trading hours, similar to buying a locally issued voucher for a foreign product, while still exposing portfolios to the performance and risks of the underlying foreign shares.
withholding tax financial
"including a 15% withholding tax under Dutch law"
Withholding tax is a government-required portion of a payment—such as dividends, interest, or salary—that the payer keeps back and sends directly to tax authorities before the recipient receives the money. For investors it reduces the cash they actually get and changes the after-tax return on an investment; rates and refund or credit rules vary by country and can materially affect comparisons between similar investments, like a cashier holding part of a bill to cover taxes.
Tax on Financial Transactions financial
"for BDR holders, the IOF (Tax on Financial Transactions) levied"
PTAX financial
"considering the U.S. dollar exchange rate (PTAX on May 13, 2026) of R$ 4.91"
PTAX is the official daily reference exchange rate published by Brazil’s central bank that shows the value of the local currency against major foreign currencies, most commonly the U.S. dollar. Investors use it like a standard yardstick for valuing foreign-currency cash flows, settling contracts and translating financial statements — similar to using a single agreed-upon price to compare goods bought in different stores. Changes in PTAX affect reported profits, debt sizes and the cost of imports and exports for companies exposed to currency swings.

Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.

NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS

 

DIVIDEND PAYMENT

 

JBS N.V. (NYSE: JBS, B3: JBSS32) (“JBS” or the “Company”), a corporation incorporated in the Netherlands, in addition to the Notice to Shareholders released on March 25, 2026, informs its shareholders and the market in general that its Board of Directors has approved the payment of dividends in the amount of USD 1.00 per common share issued by the Company, based on the Company’s retained earnings reserves. Dividends will be paid on June 17, 2026, based on the Company’s shareholder position as of the close of business on May 18, 2026, and it is estimated that they will be available in the accounts of the securities brokers used by holders of the Company’s Brazilian Depositary Receipts (“BDRs”) starting on June 22, 2026. From the amounts owed to shareholders, applicable taxes will be deducted, including a 15% withholding tax under Dutch law and, for BDR holders, the IOF (Tax on Financial Transactions) levied on the foreign exchange transaction carried out by the depositary.

 

The estimated gross amount of the dividend payment to be made in Brazilian Reais to BDR holders is R$ 4.91 per BDR, considering the U.S. dollar exchange rate (PTAX on May 13, 2026) of R$ 4.91, and the expected payment date is June 22, 2026. The exact dividend amount in Brazilian Reais and the exact date of its payment to BDR holders will be announced after June 17, 2026, when Banco Bradesco S.A., the depositary of the Company’s sponsored BDR program, receives the dividends attributed to the shares that back the BDRs.
