The law firm of Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP represents you and other Class Members. You will not be charged for these lawyers.

If you want to be represented by your own lawyer, you may hire one at your own expense.

WHAT IS THIS LAWSUIT ABOUT?

This is a securities class action brought against BRF S.A. ("BRF" or "the Company") and certain of its officers and directors (collectively, "Defendants") for alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") on behalf of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired BRF American Depository Receipts ("ADRs") during the period between April 4, 2013 and March 5, 2018, inclusive.  Lead Plaintiff City of Birmingham Retirement and Relief System alleges Defendants violated the Exchange Act by reason of material misrepresentations and omissions regarding the Company's business and operations. Specifically, Lead Plaintiff alleges Defendants made materially false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose adverse information, which caused the price of the Company's ADRs to trade at artificially inflated prices, until the market learned of the false and misleading statements or omissions, and the Company's ADR price significantly declined.  

If you purchased or otherwise acquired BRF ADRs during the Class Period, you are a Class Member. Excluded from the Class are: (i) Defendants; (ii) members of the immediate families of each Individual Defendant; (iii) any entity in which any Defendant has a controlling interest; (iv) the officers and directors of BRF during the Class Period; and (v) the legal representatives, heirs, successors or assigns of any such excluded party. Also excluded from the Class are those Persons who would otherwise be Class Members but who timely and validly exclude themselves therefrom.

WHAT DOES THE SETTLEMENT PROVIDE?

The proposed Settlement will create a cash settlement fund of $40,000,000 (the “Settlement Fund”), plus any interest that may accrue thereon less certain deductions.

The Settlement Fund, subject to deduction for, among other things, costs of class notice and administration and certain taxes and tax-related expenses, as well as attorneys’ fees and expenses, and the amount to Lead Plaintiff in connection with its representation of the Class, as approved by the Court, will be available for distribution to Class Members. Your recovery from this fund will depend on a number of variables, including the number of BRF ADRs you purchased or acquired, the timing of your purchases, acquisitions, and any sales, and how many other Class Members make claims.
