SÃO PAULO, June 15, 2021
/PRNewswire/ -- BRF S.A. ("BRF") today announces the
extension of the Total Consideration (as defined below) to be paid
in connection with its previously announced offer to purchase for
cash for up to the Maximum Amount (as defined below) of the
outstanding 4.875% Senior Notes due 2030
("Notes") issued by BRF (the
"Offer") such that holders of Notes who validly
tender their Notes after the date hereof and on or prior to the
Expiration Date (as defined below) will also be eligible to receive
the Tender Consideration (as defined below) and the Early Tender
Premium (as defined below).
The Offer is being made upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated June 2, 2021 (the "Offer to
Purchase"). Except for the modification described above,
this press release is qualified in its entirety by the Offer to
Purchase. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined
herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Offer to
Purchase.
The Offer will expire at 11:59
p.m. (New York City time)
on June 29, 2021, unless earlier
terminated or extended by BRF (such time and date, as the same may
be extended, the "Expiration Date").
Holders who validly tender their Notes in the Offer on or prior
to the Expiration Date will be eligible to receive the total
consideration of U.S.$1,047.50 per
U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Notes
tendered (the "Total Consideration"), which includes
the tender consideration of U.S.$1,017.50 per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Notes tendered (the
"Tender Consideration") and an early tender premium
of U.S.$30.00 per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered
(the "Early Tender Premium"). Accordingly, the Total
Consideration for holders of Notes who validly tendered and did not
validly withdraw their Notes at or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York
City time) on June 15, 2021
(the "Early Tender Date") applies to holders of Notes
who validly tender their Notes on or prior to the Expiration Date.
The deadline for holders of Notes to validly withdraw tenders of
Notes has passed. Accordingly, Notes tendered on or prior to the
Early Tender Date may not be withdrawn or revoked, and Notes
tendered after the date hereof and on or prior to the Expiration
Date may not be withdrawn or revoked, except as required by
applicable law.
In addition to the Total Consideration, holders whose Notes are
validly tendered and accepted for purchase in the Offer will also
receive accrued and unpaid interest ("Accrued
Interest") from, and including, the last interest payment
date to, but not including, the Settlement Date (as defined
below).
The settlement date for the Notes validly tendered on or
before the Expiration Date and accepted for purchase is expected to
be on or about one Business Day following the Expiration Date,
which would be June 30, 2021 (the
"Settlement Date"), unless the Expiration Date is
extended by BRF in its sole discretion.
The following table sets forth certain revised information
relating to the Offer.
