JBS “vehemently” denies claims that it simulated transactions to defraud creditors
JBS (JBSS3) has “vehemently” denied claims that it faked transactions to defraud creditors. The statement is contained in a release sent to the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM).
The autarchy asked the company to comment on the veracity of the information in an article published in the Valor Econômico newspaper on January 24, entitled “The courts oblige JBS to pay the debts of the slaughterhouse”.
According to the article, two recent court decisions recognized JBS as the successor to financially struggling refrigerators. One was issued by the Superior Court of Justice (STJ) and the other by the Court of Justice of Mato Grosso do Sul (TJMS). In both cases, the rulings underline that the acquisitions were made in a “disguised” manner so as not to face the liabilities of a judicial recovery process or the extinction of the acquired companies, Valor said.
JBS confirmed in its response to the CVM on Wednesday 25, the existence of the aforementioned processes, but highlighted that “they do not have a definitive and unappealable decision”.
The company qualified the article as “frivolous” for addressing the issue of “corporate succession” in such a “simple and out of context” way.
For JBS, in addition to being a highly controversial topic debated by jurists, lawyers and the judiciary, it is still awaiting a peaceful definition by the courts of the Brazilian legal sphere. “In the cases in question, the news thus focuses exclusively on the opinion of the lawyer of one of the parties opposing the company, which obviously deviates and will obviously diverge from the company’s lawyers,” says JBS.
In its response to the CVM, JBS also highlighted that it has chosen not to provide clarifications to Valor as it reserves the right to remain silent on the case, so as not to anticipate any information or strategy on the trial that is still under discussion.
“The dispute on the merits will be fought in the records, in court, not in the press, not on the material facts,” he explained.
JBS also pointed out that this is one of the “several big problems” caused to publicly traded companies: being called upon to take sides on pending lawsuits. If there is a dispute underway, explains JBS, obviously the parties will have conflicting understandings on the facts in question.
“Therefore, commenting on the ongoing processes, according to the company, only creates confusion for investors, since there is no definitive decision that materializes the risks and which can be used to make fully informed decisions, and can weaken the positions in the file, from the as the disputes remain without legal stabilization,” the company points out.
JBS said it will make every effort to discuss the matter to a last resort and that it will charge the company that leased the property to it, as well as “hold the real estate leasing company and its partners liable, which it will ultimately indemnify JBS any damages, since it is not a matter of company succession, but of the lessor’s debt unduly charged to the lessee”.
The company also noted that the processes mentioned in the news “have a remote likelihood of having, individually or in combination, a potential impact on the decision to invest in JBS, as they do not affect creditworthiness or ability to pay.”
