AFFILIATIONS

Affiliation Notes

Brazilian Democratic The party of current president Michel Temer received about BRL 35m from JBS during the most recent national elections in 2014, according to press
Movement Party (PMDB) reports and campaign finance disclosures. Jose Batista Junior ran unsuccessfully for governor of Goias state as a member of PMDB.

The Batista family has a longstanding relationship with the Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES), which has helped finance many of its acquisitions,
according to corporate filings and press reports. In addition to being a lender to JBS and Eldorado Celulose, BNDES is the second-largest shareholder
Brazilian Development Bank
of JBS, with a 24% stake as of July 2016. The relationship between the family and BNDES is under investigation by Brazilian authorities as part of a
(BNDES)
broader audit of the bank. A November 2015 report by Brazil's Court of Accounts estimated BNDES' loss from JBS-related investments at BRL 847.7m.
JBS has denied wrongdoing in its deals with BNDES.

Brazilian state-owned lender Caixa Econômica Federal holds a 6.92% stake in JBS as of July 2016. It has also been a lender to Eldorado Celulose.
Former Caixa VP Fabio Cleto claimed in a plea bargain that he received kickbacks from Eldorado, and that the payments had been discussed with
Caixa Econômica Federal Joesley Batista, Folha de São Paulo reported. In 2012 Eldorado issued BRL 940m in bonds to infrastructure fund FI-FGTS, which is managed by Caixa.
Separately, the “Greenfield” investigation into fraud at state-owned companies’ pension funds has investigated investments in Eldorado by Caixa’s
Funcef fund. Wesley and Joesley Batista were questioned by police in Sept 2016.

Fabio Cleto, a former VP of state-owned bank Caixa Econômica Federal, said in a plea bargain that he received kickbacks from Eldorado Celulose,
Folha de São Paulo reported. His statement provided the basis for the Attorney General’s Office to ask the Brazilian Supreme Court to order raids on
Fabio Cleto
Eldorado and J&F offices on 1 July. According to newspaper O Globo, Cleto also claimed that part of that money went to Eduardo Cunha, the former
president of the lower house of congress, and one of the main supporters of Dilma Rousseff’s impeachment.

Former Petrobras director Paulo Roberto Costa, who was convicted in 2015 of racketeering and money laundering, had a contract with J&F to provide
Paulo Roberto Costa consulting services to the company, according to Folha Politica. The contract was found on a computer that was searched during the Petrobras
kickback investigation, according to the report. J&F denied the existence of the contract.

Fabio Cleto, former vice president of state-owned bank Caixa Econômica Federal, said in his plea bargain that a portion of the kickbacks he received in
Eduardo Cunha
exchange for loans to Eldorado Celulose went to Eduardo Cunha, the former president of the lower house of congress, according to press reports.

Lobbyist Lúcio Funaro has emerged as a central figure in the Lava Jato scandal involving kickbacks paid for Petrobras contracts, according to press
reports. At least two depositions by suspects in the case name Funaro as collecting money on behalf of Eduardo Cunha, the former president of the
lower house of congress. The website G1 reported that according to Fabio Cleto, former VP of state-owned bank Caixa Econômica Federal, Joesley
Lúcio Funaro Batista gifted his house to Funaro. Batista family holding company J&F Investimentos denied the accusations and said that Joesley Batista, through his
personal holding company JJMB, sold his home to Lucio Funaro’s wife. J&F said that the deal was legal and offered documentation to demonstrate this.
Brazilian newspaper Extra reported that Cleto claimed to have taken a leisure trip to the Caribbean with Funaro and Batista in 2011. Batista and Funaro
declined to comment on the matter, according to Extra.

JPMorgan Chase & Co. JPMorgan has advised JBS on several major acquisitions over the past decade, according to company filings.

Henrique Meirelles was appointed Finance Minister in May 2016 by President Michel Temer. He served as president of the Central Bank of Brazil under
Henrique Meirelles President Luiz Inacio Lula de Silva. After his central bank tenure ended in 2011, Meirelles was appointed chairman of J&F Investimentos, the Batista
family's main holding company, and held the position until becoming Finance Minister.

Colin Murdoch-Muirhead is the controlling shareholder of Blessed Holdings, a Delaware-based company that owns an indirect 21% stake in J&F
Investimentos, according to a filing by Alpargatas SA dated 31 Mar 2016. He controls Cayman Islands-based Lighthouse Capital Insurance Co and
Puerto Rico-based US Commonwealth Life, AI, each of which owns 50% of Blessed Holdings. Blessed Holdings in turn owns 85% of Pinheiros Fundo de
Investimento em Participações (FIP Pinheiros, formerly called FIP Bertin), which has a 24.76% stake in J&F Investimentos. The other shareholders of
Blessed Holdings are James Walker, Nicholas Ferris and Paul Blackhouse. According to the website of Lighthouse Capital, Murdoch-Muirhead is a
Colin Murdoch-Muirhead
former senior executive of HSBC Bank of Bermuda. Blessed Holdings and FIP Bertin were employed in JBS’ 2009 acquisition of Brazilian meatpacker
Bertin via a share swap. In 2013, Grupo Bertin filed a lawsuit in São Paulo alleging that shares from FIP Bertin, which it controlled, had been fraudulently
transferred to Blessed, according to industry news website Meatingplace. Bertin also alleged that Blessed was controlled by the Batista family.
JBS at the time denied having any relationship with Blessed. The matter was settled out of court as part of Bertin’s exit from JBS in 2014, according to
press reports.

Iris Rezende is a senator and former governor of Goias state, where JBS was founded and is based. According to Piaui magazine, during the company's
Iris Rezende early period of expansion, it was rumored that Rezende a patron or even a partner of Jose Batista Sobrinho. The family has denied benefiting from
political patronage.

Political publicist and campaign advisor Joao Santana has admitted, as part of a plea bargain, to handling illegal donations to Dilma Rousseff’s
presidential campaign, according to press reports. His wife, Monica Moura, told prosecutors in May 2016 that JBS made illegal contributions to the
Joao Santana
Worker's Party (PT) in 2014, according to O Globo. She alleged that JBS made the payments through a company called Focal. JBS told O Globo that it
had no records of those payments and no relationship to Focal or its owners.

Brazil’s former ruling party (2003-2016) has received substantial donations from JBS over the past decade. According to data compiled by newspaper
Workers' Party (PT) Estadao, JBS donated roughly USD 107m to the party over this time period. The Batista family's companies received loans and equity financing
from state-owned banks and pension funds while PT was in power.

with “total transparency.” According to Folha, as of March 2016, Bertin was contesting the penalty.
