Yesterday, poultry producer Pilgrim’s Pride Corp struck a deal with Brazil’s beef giant JBS AG which would allow it to exit bankruptcy. The transaction will see JBS AG pay US$800M in cash, while taking a 64% stake in the chicken processor.
Additionally, all of Pilgrim’s Pride Corp’s debt to creditors will be fully paid. This is good news for the poultry company which was forced to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection late last year, after failing to stay afloat with soaring feed costs and fledgling chicken demand.
