Shareholder Proposals

Item 5
S
Disclose internal diversity and inclusion policies and practices in a public report.

The proposal requests that the company publish a public report (omitting proprietary information) describing its internal diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies and related practices. The supporting materials cite Pilgrim’s Pride’s low score on an external Racial Justice Scorecard and specific reputational risks from reported workplace abuses as rationale for greater transparency. The report is intended to include quantitative data and policy descriptions to help shareholders assess whether internal DEI measures are adequate to attract, retain, and protect diverse talent and to mitigate human‑capital and reputational risks. The proposal emphasizes that disclosure would allow investors to evaluate the effectiveness of the company’s DEI programs and related internal accountability mechanisms.

Item 6
G
Disclose policies, recipients, and amounts of corporate political contributions and election-related expenditures in a periodic report.

The proposal requests that the company publish a periodic report disclosing its policies and procedures for political spending and identifying recipients and amounts of corporate contributions or expenditures used to support or oppose candidates or to influence elections or referenda. It explicitly excludes routine lobbying spending but asks that disclosure cover direct and indirect contributions, independent expenditures, and payments to trade associations or tax‑exempt organizations that may be used for electoral purposes. The supporting statement cites regulatory, legal and reputational risks, references prior enforcement matters involving related parties, and notes a $5 million corporate expenditure on a January 2025 inauguration committee as an example of material political spending. The purpose is to align the company with peer disclosure practices and provide investors transparency to assess political‑spending risks and governance controls.
