Sadia S.A. (SDA)

27. Subsequent Events

        On May 19, 2009, the Company signed a merger agreement with Perdigão that contemplates a business combination of the two companies. In the business combination, Perdigão is to be renamed BRF—Brasil Foods S.A. (the new name for the combined company) and Sadia is expected to become a wholly owned subsidiary of BRF.

        The business combination is subject to the approval of holders of common shares of each of Perdigão and Sadia, as well as approval by antitrust authorities. A number of steps of the merger must be approved at separate extraordinary general meetings of the common shareholders of Perdigão, Sadia, and HFF Participações S.A., or "HFF," a holding company formed by the controlling shareholders of Sadia for purposes of the acquisition, are currently scheduled to take place on July 8, 2009. As a result of these meetings, if merger is approved:

•

Perdigão will change its corporate name to BRF—Brasil Foods S.A., move its headquarters to Itajaí in the State of Santa Catarina, and change its certificate of incorporation so that its Board of Directors has nine to 11 members and a co-chairman structure;



•

Concórdia Holding, parent company of Concórdia S.A. Corretora de Valores Mobiliários, Câmbio e Commodities and of Concórdia Banco S.A., is not part of the merger and, consequently, will be sold to Sadia's shareholders before the business combination with BRF;



•

Holders of common shares of HFF will receive 0.166247 common shares of BRF for each share they hold without any further action by those holders; and



•

HFF will become a wholly owned subsidiary of BRF.

        Additional separate extraordinary meetings of the common shareholders of Perdigão and Sadia are currently scheduled to take place on August 18, 2009. As a result of these meetings, if approved,

holders of common and preferred shares of Sadia will receive 0.132998 common shares of BRF for each common share or preferred share, respectively, they hold without any further action by those holders.

        As described above, following the merger of HFF, Perdigão will amend its certificate of incorporation to expand the Board of Directors, three of whom will be elected by the current controlling shareholders of Sadia, and are expected to serve until the 2011 annual shareholders' meeting. The Board of Directors of BRF will have a co-chairman structure, where neither of the co-chairmen will have a casting vote in the case of a tie.

        The merger between Perdigão and Sadia is conditioned upon approval by the relevant antitrust authorities in Europe and other jurisdictions and subject to review by the antitrust authorities in Brazil. Such authorities may not approve the transaction or impose significant conditions that could affect its completion, including performance of the transaction or divesture of specific subsidiaries, product lines, brands or factories. During the review period by antitrust authorities, the companies may be subject to specific obligations that require unaltered market conditions. In Europe, analysis by the relevant antitrust authorities is a pre-condition to closing of the business combination.

        The relevant antitrust authorities may decide to impose significant conditions or performance commitments on the combined company, including commitments to divest from certain businesses, risks and product lines, trademarks or production facilities, on the transaction, and the merger may be delayed or impaired because market conditions may not be altered for as long as the transaction is subject to review by regulators.

        Pursuant to the terms and conditions of certain instruments governing a portion of the Company's indebtedness in the aggregate amount of at least R$4.9 billion as of May 31, 2009, including certain derivative financial instruments, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the proposed business combination with Perdigão may result in an event of default, a termination event or a breach of one or more covenants, as applicable. In particular, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the proposed business combination with Perdigão will result in a change of control of Sadia S.A. As a result, following the announcement of the proposed business combination with Perdigão the Company has engaged in discussions with its lenders and counterparties under those debt instruments that provide for such change of control as an event of default or termination event in order to seek and to receive from such lenders and counterparties the necessary waivers or consents in accordance with the terms of the applicable debt instruments. Alternatively, if and to the extent permitted under the applicable debt instruments the Company may decide to pre-pay all or a portion of such indebtedness. In accordance with the terms of the applicable debt instruments, the Company may be required to pay a premium or a penalty to its lenders or counterparties in order to receive their waiver or consent or to pre-pay the indebtedness outstanding under such debt instruments. The Company can give no assurances as to whether any of its lenders and/or counterparties under the applicable debt instruments will agree to grant its waiver or consent or that the Company will otherwise be able to pre-pay the indebtedness outstanding under such debt instruments.
