JBS completes SEC registration and calls shareholders’ meeting to vote on Dual Listing
23 | 04 | 2025
JBS, one of the world’s leading food companies, announced another milestone in its dual listing process. With the registration process now completed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Company’s Board of Directors has called an Extraordinary General Meeting of shareholders for May 23 to vote on the proposal for a dual listing of JBS shares on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and on B3, the Brazilian stock exchange. The transaction is subject to approval by Brazil’s securities regulator (CVM).
This marks a historic moment for the capital markets, as minority shareholders will hold full decision-making power. J&F and BNDESPar, the company’s two largest shareholders, have committed to abstain from voting — leaving the decision in the hands of holders of just over 30% of the company’s free float.
“We believe this transaction will increase our visibility in global markets, attract new investors, and further strengthen our position as a global food industry leader,” said Gilberto Tomazoni, Global CEO of JBS.
If approved by shareholders, the company expects to begin offering shares in the U.S. market as early as June of this year. “Once completed, this step will mark a new chapter in JBS’s history — one with the potential to unlock shareholder value and broaden our investor base,” added Guilherme Cavalcanti, JBS’s CFO.
JBS is one of the largest food companies in the world, with a diversified platform across proteins and geographies. With more than 250 production facilities in 17 countries, JBS serves over 300,000 customers, and its products reach more than 180 countries. Founded in Brazil 71 years ago, the company now employs 280,000 people worldwide. Its consistent growth has been driven by strategic investments, disciplined acquisitions, and continued global expansion — enabling diversification across both products and markets.
The company’s track record over the past seven decades highlights the strength of its global platform, diversified across proteins and regions, supported by strong brands and a portfolio focused on higher value-added products. “We’ve built a solid organizational culture, with the right people in the right places,” said Tomazoni. “It’s thanks to the dedication and commitment of our team members that JBS continues to achieve exceptional operational excellence.”
