JBS USA Food Company Holdings announced the early tender results for its cash tender offers to purchase up to $1.2 billion in aggregate principal amount of its 6.750% Senior Notes due 2034 and 5.950% Senior Notes due 2035. The company has increased the maximum tender amount from $1 billion to $1.2 billion due to strong investor demand.

Why it matters

The tender offers allow JBS USA to refinance a portion of its existing debt at potentially lower interest rates, which could improve the company's financial position and flexibility. The increased tender amount indicates robust investor appetite for the company's debt.

The details

JBS USA said that as of the early tender date, $1.322 billion in 2034 notes and $829.769 million in 2035 notes had been validly tendered. Due to the 2034 notes exceeding the increased $1.2 billion maximum, JBS USA expects to accept the 2034 notes on a prorated basis. The company will not accept any 2035 notes or notes tendered after the early tender date.

  • The early tender date was April 10, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. New York time.
  • JBS USA expects to make payment on the accepted notes on April 14, 2026, the early settlement date.
