Publicly Held Company
ANNOUNCEMENT TO THE MARKET
The Management of
BRF - Brasil Foods S.A., in accordance with
CVM Instruction 358/02 and Article 157, Paragraph 4 of Federal Law 6,404/76 and in response to Official Letter
CVM/SEP/GEA-2/N° 221/2011,
informs that it has delivered a document to
Indústria de Alimentos Nilza Ltda. in which it manifested its preliminary interest in discussing and negotiating the potential acquisition of the assets that comprise the long life milk processing and production unit of the company located in
Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo. The indicative value of the potential acquisition of the unit is
R$ 60 million.
Nilza’s unit in Ribeirão Preto has the capacity to produce
820,000 liters of UHT milk per day, as well as processed products that include cream cheese, butter, cheese and dairy beverages, which represents an attractive operational base in the state of São Paulo.
The document is non-binding, i.e. it has no immediate effect, and is conditional on a series of future and uncertain events.
It is a simple manifestation of commercial interest.
The potential negotiation of the unit's acquisition is conditional on a series of legal and commercial matters, since
Indústria
de Alimentos Nilza filed for bankruptcy in January this year and is currently awaiting a ruling on the appeal that temporarily suspended the effects of said bankruptcy.
If the bankruptcy is reversed by a court ruling, the realization of any acquisition by BRF of the unit will depend on commercial adjustments, legal and accounting audits and subsequent approval by the company’s committee of creditors.
