Rhea-AI Filing Summary

JBS N.V. reports that it has become a co-issuer and successor entity for 15 series of long-term senior notes previously issued by JBS USA entities. Through supplemental indentures, JBS N.V. is now liable for all obligations under these notes and has replaced JBS S.A. as the registrant, while JBS S.A. and certain affiliates have been released as parent guarantors. JBS USA Food Company was also merged into JBS USA Food Company Holdings, which assumes co-issuer responsibilities.

JBS N.V. and its affiliates amended their revolving credit facility so that JBS N.V. and JBS USA Food Company Holdings are now borrowers and guarantors. The amendment also replaces a maximum total debt-to-capitalization covenant of 55.0% with a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.00:1.00, starting with the test period ending on March 31, 2026. JBS N.V. plans to file a Form 15 to suspend JBS S.A.’s reporting obligations, with future SEC filings to be made under JBS N.V.’s file number and CIK.

Insights

JBS N.V. formally steps in as issuer and borrower, with a new interest coverage covenant.

The changes consolidate key debt obligations at JBS N.V.. It becomes co-issuer on 15 series of senior notes and a borrower and guarantor under the revolving credit facility. JBS S.A. and certain affiliates are released as parent guarantors, and JBS USA Food Company Holdings replaces JBS USA Food Company as co-issuer on the notes and as a borrower on the facility.

The revolving credit facility now uses a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.00:1.00 instead of a maximum total debt-to-capitalization of 55.0%, with testing beginning for the period ending on March 31, 2026. This shifts lender focus toward earnings relative to interest expense rather than balance sheet leverage. Actual impact on flexibility or risk depends on how comfortably JBS N.V. maintains coverage above that 3.00x level over time.

JBS N.V. also intends to file a Form 15 to suspend JBS S.A. reporting obligations, with all future SEC disclosures moving to JBS N.V.’s file number and CIK. Debt and equity investors will therefore look to JBS N.V.’s ongoing reports for information on these notes and the revolving facility.
