What Happened

• On August 10, 2026, JBS N.V. announced its quarterly results for the period ended June 30, 2026 (earnings release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to the 8-K) and issued a press release disclosing a planned leadership change.
• The company said Wesley Batista Filho (age 34) will become Global CEO effective January 2027 as part of a planned transition. Current Global CEO Gilberto Tomazoni (age 67) will step down as CEO in January 2027, oversee the transition over the next five months, and then serve as Vice Chairman of the Board and Senior Advisor. Tomazoni will also remain Chairman of Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation and will become Chairman of the J&F Institute.

Key Details

• Earnings release date: August 10, 2026; covers quarter ended June 30, 2026 (Exhibit 99.1).
• Leadership change effective: January 2027; transition period of ~5 months beginning August 2026.
• New Global CEO: Wesley Batista Filho — 15 years at JBS; prior roles include CEO of JBS Brazil, President of Seara, and CEO of JBS USA since 2023.
• Outgoing CEO: Gilberto Tomazoni — 14 years with JBS (8 years as Global CEO); will become Vice Chairman and Senior Advisor. No disagreement with the company was reported regarding the transition. The company disclosed no related-party transactions requiring Item 404 disclosure involving Wesley Batista Filho.

Why It Matters

• For investors, two items are material: the company’s quarterly results (read the attached earnings release for revenue, earnings, and other financial metrics) and a planned, orderly CEO succession that reduces short-term leadership uncertainty.
• Wesley Batista Filho’s internal promotion and prior leadership roles suggest continuity in management and strategy; his family ties to the company’s ultimate controlling shareholders are disclosed and the filing states there are no reportable related-party transactions.
• Tomazoni’s continued roles (Vice Chairman, Senior Advisor, PPC chair) indicate retained institutional knowledge during the transition. Investors should review the earnings release (Exhibit 99.1) for financial details and monitor subsequent filings or press releases for any updates on strategy, compensation specifics, or additional governance changes.
