----------------------------------------------------------------------

- Settlement of shareholder derivative suit: JBS defendants pay $31M to Pilgrim's Pride, pending Delaware Court of Chancery approval.
- Settlement amount stems from raising Tax-Sharing-Agreement 'Dividend' definition from $725M to $1.17B, per mediator recommendation.
- JBS pays $250K initial deposit plus $30.75M to escrow controlled by Pilgrim's Pride; net proceeds go to Company, not stockholders directly.
- Settlement releases all claims against JBS and directors regarding Charter Amendment and Tax Sharing Agreement; parties admit no wrongdoing.
