Commenting on the results, Janet Mc Collum, CEO of Moy Park said: “The second quarter of
2015 has seen Moy Park continue its solid start to the year in what is a challenging market.

"Our commitment to delivering the highest quality product offering to our customers and
consumers, while maintaining our focus on controlling costs, has enabled us to report solid
second quarter results.

"We have also produced another positive cash flow while continuing our programme of infrastructure investment which will facilitate our continued growth.

"On June 21st 2015, our parent company Marfrig entered into an agreement with the Brazil-based
company JBS to acquire 100 per cent of Moy Park.

"While the ownership of the company will change on completion of the sale, our day to day focus remains very much business as usual and we will continue to deliver on our plans for growth."
