Bond Repurchase Program On May 1, 2024, the Board approved a bond repurchase program which permits the Company to repurchase up to an aggregate amount of $200.0 million of the Company’s outstanding senior notes. On May 1, 2025, the Board approved an increase to the bond repurchase program for an additional amount of $500.0 million. In the three months ended September 28, 2025, the Company repurchased $25.2 million of outstanding principal of the Senior Notes due 2031 resulting in $1.2 million gross realized gains recognized. The gross realized gains on early extinguishment of debt are recognized in interest expense. The original discount and capitalized financing costs associated with the amounts repurchased are immaterial and are combined with the gross losses on early extinguishment of debt, along with a nominal amount of transaction fees. To date under the program, the Company has repurchased $203.9 million of outstanding principal of the Senior Notes due 2031, $0.4 million of Senior Notes due 2032, and $77.5 million of outstanding principal of the Senior Notes due 2033. U.S. Credit Facility On October 4, 2023, the Company and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries entered into a Revolving Syndicated Facility Agreement (the “U.S. Credit Facility”) with CoBank, ACB as administrative agent and the other lenders party thereto. The U.S. Credit Facility provides for a revolving loan commitment of up to $850.0 million. The loan commitment matures on October 4, 2028. The U.S. Credit Facility is unsecured and will be used for general corporate purposes. Outstanding borrowings under the U.S. Credit Facility bear interest at a per annum rate equal to either the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) or the prime rate plus applicable margins based on the Company’s credit ratings. As of September 28, 2025, the Company had outstanding letters of credit and available borrowings under the revolving credit commitment of $24.2 million and $825.8 million, respectively, and there were no outstanding borrowings under this agreement. The U.S. Credit Facility requires customary financial and other covenants for transactions of this type, including limitations on 1) liens, 2) indebtedness, 3) sales and other dispositions of assets, 4) dividends, distributions, and other payments in respect of equity interest, 5) investments, and 6) voluntary prepayments, redemptions or repurchases of junior debt. In each case, clauses 1 to 6 are subject to certain exceptions which can be material and certain of such clauses only apply to the Company upon the occurrence of certain triggering events. The Company is currently in compliance with the covenants under the U.S. Credit Facility. Europe Credit Facility On June 24, 2022, Moy Park Holdings (Europe) Ltd. (“MPH(E)”) and other Pilgrim’s entities located in the U.K. and Republic of Ireland entered into an unsecured multicurrency revolving facility agreement (the “Europe Credit Facility”) with the Governor and Company of the Bank of Ireland, as agent, and the other lenders party thereto. The Europe Credit Facility provides for a multicurrency revolving loan commitment of up to £150.0 million. The loan commitment matures on June 24, 2027. Outstanding borrowings bear interest at the current Sterling Overnight Index Average (“SONIA”) interest rate plus 1.25%. All obligations under this agreement are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries. As of September 28, 2025, both the U.S. dollar-equivalent loan commitment and borrowing availability were $201.0 million and there were no outstanding borrowings under this agreement. The Europe Credit Facility contains representations and warranties, covenants, indemnities and conditions, in each case, that the Company believes are customary for transactions of this type. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Company is required to meet certain financial and other restrictive covenants. Additionally, the Company is prohibited from taking certain actions without consent of the lenders, including, without limitation, incurring additional indebtedness, entering into certain mergers or other business combination transactions, permitting liens or other encumbrances on its assets and making restricted payments, including dividends, in each case, except as expressly permitted under the Europe Credit Facility. The Company is currently in compliance with the covenants under the Europe Credit Facility. Mexico Credit Facility On August 15, 2023, certain of the Company’s Mexican subsidiaries entered into an unsecured credit agreement (the “Mexico Credit Facility”) with BBVA México as lender. The loan commitment under the Mexico Credit Facility is Mex$1.1 billion and can be borrowed on a revolving basis. Outstanding borrowings under the Mexico Credit Facility accrue interest at a rate equal to The Interbank Equilibrium Interest (“TIIE”) rate plus 1.35%. The Mexico Credit Facility contains covenants and defaults that the Company believes are customary for transactions of this type. The Mexico Credit Facility will be used for general corporate and working capital purposes. The Mexico Credit Facility will mature on August 15, 2026. As of September 28, 2025, the U.S. dollar-equivalent of the loan commitment and borrowing availability was $60.4 million. As of September 28, 2025, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Mexico Credit Facility. The Company is currently in compliance with the covenants under the Mexico Credit Facility.
