<font face="Times New Roman" lang=EN-US style="font-size:12.0pt;">On April 9, 2018, an agreement was executed between NBM US
Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, Marfrig Global Foods S.A., a Brazilian
corporation, Leucadia National Corporation, a New York corporation, NBPCo
Holdings, LLC, a South Dakota limited liability company, and National Beef
Packing Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.&#160; Under that
agreement, Leucadia National Corporation agreed to sell to NBM US Holdings,
Inc., which is a subsidiary of Marfrig Global Foods S.A., an amount of equity
interests in National Beef Packing Company, LLC such that, as a result of the
consummation of the transaction, Leucadia National Corporation will no longer hold
the majority of equity interests in National Beef Packing Company, LLC. Prior
to the consummation of the transaction, Leucadia National Corporation holds the
majority of equity interests in National Beef Packing Company, LLC.&#160; Upon
consummation of the transaction, which is expected to close in the second
quarter of 2018, NBM US Holdings, Inc. will hold 51% of the outstanding equity
interests in National Beef Packing Company, LLC, and will therefore replace Leucadia
National Corporation as the majority equity-holder in National Beef Packing
Company, LLC. </font></p>

described above.&#160; The transaction is subject to certain limited conditions to
closing and will require certain regulatory approvals prior to closing.</font></p>

ITEM 8.01 Other Events.
On April 9, 2018, an agreement was executed between NBM US
Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, Marfrig Global Foods S.A., a Brazilian
corporation, Leucadia National Corporation, a New York corporation, NBPCo
Holdings, LLC, a South Dakota limited liability company, and National Beef
Packing Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.  Under that
agreement, Leucadia National Corporation agreed to sell to NBM US Holdings,
Inc., which is a subsidiary of Marfrig Global Foods S.A., an amount of equity
interests in National Beef Packing Company, LLC such that, as a result of the
consummation of the transaction, Leucadia National Corporation will no longer hold
the majority of equity interests in National Beef Packing Company, LLC. Prior
to the consummation of the transaction, Leucadia National Corporation holds the
majority of equity interests in National Beef Packing Company, LLC.  Upon
consummation of the transaction, which is expected to close in the second
quarter of 2018, NBM US Holdings, Inc. will hold 51% of the outstanding equity
interests in National Beef Packing Company, LLC, and will therefore replace Leucadia
National Corporation as the majority equity-holder in National Beef Packing
Company, LLC.
USPB, which currently holds 15% of the outstanding equity
interests in National Beef Packing Company, LLC, will continue to own that same
portion of National Beef following the consummation of the transaction
described above.  The transaction is subject to certain limited conditions to
closing and will require certain regulatory approvals prior to closing.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed
