reorganization relief under the provisions of Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code. On September 16, 2009, JBS USA and the Issuer entered into the Stock Purchase Agreement, on December 10, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court approved and confirmed the Plan and on the Closing Date, pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement and in accordance with the Plan, the Issuer emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings in the Bankruptcy Court and the Issuer’s common stock outstanding prior thereto (“Old Common Stock”) was cancelled and converted into the right to receive shares of Common Stock (based on a one-for-one exchange ratio) constituting 36% of the total issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. The remaining shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding were acquired by JBS USA on the Closing Date in the Acquisition. The Issuer has registered the Common Stock on Form 8-A filed on December 28, 2009 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act.

Each of the Reporting Persons intends to regularly review its investment in the Issuer. Based on such review, as well as other factors (including, among other things, their evaluation of the Issuer’s business, prospects and financial condition, the market price for the Issuer’s securities, other opportunities available to them, general market, industry and economic conditions, changes in law and government regulations), the Reporting Persons, and/or other persons affiliated with them, may, and reserve the right to, consistent with the provisions of the Stockholders Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date (the “Stockholders Agreement”), between JBS USA and the Issuer and the amended and restated certificate of incorporation adopted by the Issuer and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on the Closing Date (the “Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), either alone or as part of a group, (a) acquire additional securities of the Issuer, through open market purchases, publicly or privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, (b) dispose of all or a portion of the securities of the Issuer owned by it in the open market, in publicly or privately negotiated transactions, in underwritten offerings or otherwise or (c) to take any other available course of action. Any such acquisition or disposition or other transaction would be made in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. The Reporting Persons may formulate such plans or proposals for, and may from time to time explore, or make such proposals relating to, transactions or actions which relate to or would result in any of the matters specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D as may be and to the extent permitted by the Stockholders Agreement and the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, including in connection with a Mandatory Exchange Transaction (as defined below). Notwithstanding anything contained herein, each of the Reporting Persons specifically reserves the right to change its intention with respect to any or all of such matters.

Under the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, if JBS USA completes an initial public offering of its common stock and the offered shares are listed on a national securities exchange (the “JBS USA Common Stock”), then, at any time during an Exchange Window (as defined below) falling within the period commencing on the date of the closing of the offering and ending on January 27, 2012, JBS USA will have the right to deliver written notice of the mandatory exchange of the Common Stock (the “Mandatory Exchange Transaction”) to the Issuer. Upon delivery to the Issuer of notice of the Mandatory Exchange Transaction each share of Common Stock held by stockholders other than JBS USA (the “Exchanged Holders”) will automatically, without any further action on behalf of the Issuer or any of the Exchanged Holders, be transferred to JBS USA in exchange for a number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of JBS USA Common Stock equal to the Exchange Offer Ratio (as defined below). The Mandatory Exchange Transaction is required to be effected in compliance with all applicable laws. Unless subsequently amended, pursuant to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Mandatory Exchange Transaction may not be effected with respect to shares of Common Stock held by the Founder Group (as defined in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation) until six months and one day after the Closing Date. An “Exchange Window” is a period of time beginning on the sixth trading day after the first day on which both the Issuer and JBS USA will have each made their respective annual or quarterly reports or earnings releases relating to the immediately preceding fiscal quarter or year, as applicable, and ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter during which the first day of the Exchange Window fell. The “Exchange Offer Ratio” is a fraction, the numerator of which is the average volume-weighted daily trading price per share on the principal national securities exchange for the Common Stock and the denominator of which is the average volume-weighted daily trading price per share on the principal national securities exchange for the JBS USA Common Stock, in each case for the Measurement Period. The “Measurement Period” is a number of consecutive trading days which is equal to twice the number of consecutive trading days between (i) the first date on which both JBS USA and the Issuer shall have both made their respective annual or quarterly reports or earnings releases for the applicable fiscal year or quarter and (ii) the date on which JBS USA delivers to the Issuer the notice of the Mandatory Exchange Transaction.

In accordance with the Plan, the Stockholders Agreement, the Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Amended and Restated Corporate Bylaws of the Issuer, effective as of the Closing Date (the “Restated Bylaws”), the initial board of directors of the Issuer is required to consist of nine directors, six of whom are designated by JBS USA. On the Closing Date, three of the Reporting Persons (Joesley Mendonça Batista, Wesley Mendonça Batista and José Batista Júnior) became members of the board of directors of the Issuer.

The descriptions of the Stockholders Agreement, the Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Restated Bylaws in this Statement are qualified in their entirety by reference to such documents, which are included with this Statement as Exhibit 4, Exhibit 5 and Exhibit 6, respectively, and incorporated by reference herein.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a) and (b) The responses of the Reporting Persons to Rows (7) through (13) of the cover pages of this Statement and the information set forth in Item 3 of this Statement are hereby incorporated by reference in this Item 5. As a result of the ownership structure and other relationships described in Item 2 of this Statement, each of the Reporting Persons is the beneficial owner, with shared voting and dispositive power with the other Reporting Persons, of the 134,397,620 shares of Common Stock acquired by JBS USA in the Acquisition. The percentage of the class of securities identified pursuant to Item 1 beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons is based on 209,996,281 shares of Common Stock outstanding as at the Closing Date (the “Total Number of Outstanding Shares”) immediately following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement. The Total Number of Outstanding Shares was calculated based on information provided to the Issuer by the Issuer’s transfer agent and the provisions of the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Plan concerning the cancellation and conversion of Old Common Stock and issuance of Common Stock.2

Except as disclosed in this Statement, none of the Reporting Persons or, to the best of the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, any of the persons listed in Schedules I through V attached to this Statement beneficially owns any shares of Common Stock or has the right to acquire any shares of Common Stock.

Except as disclosed in this Statement, none of the Reporting Persons or, to the best of the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, any of the persons listed in Schedules I through V attached to this Statement presently has the power to vote or to direct the vote or to dispose or direct the disposition of any of the shares of Common Stock that they may be deemed to beneficially own.

(c) Except as disclosed in this Statement, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the best of their knowledge, any of the persons listed in Schedules I through V attached to this Statement has effected any transaction in shares of Common Stock during the past 60 days.

(d) To the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no other person has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.

(e) Not applicable.

2 In the event that certain performance conditions set forth in the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, dated as of January 27, 2009, between the Issuer and Don Jackson, are determined to have been satisfied, 1,542,828 shares of Old Common Stock (the “Don Jackson Shares”) will vest, effective as of December 27, 2009, in Don Jackson’s favor (the “Vesting’). The Issuer is currently in the process of determining whether such performance conditions have been satisfied. If the Vesting does occur, in accordance with the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Don Jackson Shares will be deemed to have been cancelled and converted into the right to receive shares of Common Stock, and the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Closing Date will be 214,281,914 and the number of shares of Common Stock acquired by JBS USA on the Closing Date will be 137,140,425. Consequently, if the Vesting does occur, then each of the Reporting Persons will be the beneficial owner, with shared voting and dispositive power with the other Reporting Persons, of 137,140,425 shares of Common Stock (in lieu of the 134,397,620 shares of Common Stock reported on the cover page of this Statement and in Item 3 and this Item 5 of this Statement) constituting 64.0% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock on the Closing Date.

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

The information set forth in Items 3, 4 and 5 of this Statement is incorporated herein by reference in this Item 6.

Concurrently with the Acquisition, JBS USA and the Issuer entered into the Stockholders Agreement. The Stockholders Agreement sets forth certain rights with respect to the Common Stock, corporate governance and other related corporate matters. The Stockholders Agreement provides that until the expiration of the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on January 27, 2012, JBS USA and its affiliates are prohibited from acquiring, directly or indirectly, any equity interests in the Issuer, including shares of Common Stock, except (i) by way of stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications, recapitalizations, or other distributions by the Issuer to all holders of Common Stock on a pro rata basis, or (ii) pursuant to the Mandatory Exchange Transaction. The Stockholders Agreement also provides that JBS USA will cause all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by it or its affiliates to (i) be voted, or to abstain from voting, in the same proportion as the shares of Common Stock held by the stockholders other than the JBS USA and its affiliates (the “Minority Investors”) vote, or abstain from voting, with respect to (A) the election or removal of Equity Directors (as defined in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation) and (B) proposals to adopt, amend or repeal the Issuer’s Bylaws that would adversely affect, or could reasonably be expected to adversely affect, in any material respect, the rights of the Minority Investors, as a class, and (ii) be voted for the election, or against the removal, of the Founder Director (as defined in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation) until the occurrence of a Founder Triggering Event (as defined in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation). With respect to all other matters submitted to a vote of holders of Common Stock, JBS USA may vote, or abstain from voting, shares of Common Stock held by it in its sole and absolute discretion. The Stockholders Agreement may be terminated (i) by written agreement of the parties, (ii) on the consummation of the Mandatory Exchange Transaction or (iii) in the event that JBS USA owns 100% of the Common Stock, subject to the survival of certain covenants. The Equity Nominating Committee (as defined in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation), acting by majority vote, has the right to control the Issuer’s exercise of its rights and remedies under the Stockholders Agreement.
