BRF announces expiration and final results of its cash tender offer for its 4.875% Senior Notes due 2030

SÃO PAULO, June 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- BRF S.A. ("BRF") today announces the expiration and final results of its previously announced offer to purchase for cash for up to the Maximum Amount (as defined below) of Total Consideration (as defined below) of the outstanding 4.875% Senior Notes due 2030 ("Notes") issued by BRF (the "Offer").

The Offer was made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated June 2, 2021 (the "Offer to Purchase"). This press release is qualified in its entirety by the previously announced modification to the Offer and the Offer to Purchase. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Offer to Purchase.

As of 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on June 29, 2021 (the "Expiration Date"), according to information received from D.F. King & Co., Inc., the information and tender agent for the Offer, U.S.$59,402,000, or approximately 7.92% of the principal amount outstanding, of the Notes was validly tendered, and not validly withdrawn.

The following table sets forth the principal amount of the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn, as well as the principal amount of Notes that BRF has accepted for purchase, after giving effect to the Maximum Amount (as described below), on the settlement date for the Offer, which is expected to be June 30, 2021 (the "Settlement Date").

(1) The "Maximum Amount" equals a total purchase price, including any applicable Tender Consideration (as defined below) and Early Tender Premium (as defined below) but excluding any applicable Accrued Interest (as defined below), of U.S.$180.0 million.

(2)   As reported by D.F. King & Co., Inc., the information and tender agent for the Offer, as of the Expiration Date.

The deadline for holders of Notes to tender their Notes in the Offer was the Expiration Date. Accordingly, Notes that have been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn may not be withdrawn or such tenders revoked, except as required by applicable law.

Holders who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw 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").

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.

BRF's obligation to accept for purchase, and pay for, Notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer was conditioned upon the satisfaction or waiver by BRF of a number of conditions described in the Offer to Purchase, which have been satisfied.

BRF has retained Banco BTG Pactual S.A.—Cayman Branch and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. to serve as dealer managers and D.F. King & Co., Inc. to serve as information and tender agent for the Offer.
