Redemption of 1999 Patronage Notices and Distribution by U.S. Premium
Beef, LLC
.
As described in a report on Form 8K filed on
October 29, 2010, (the "October 29 Form 8K") as the owner of a 69.3340%
interest in National Beef Packing Company, LLC ("NBP"), US Premium Beef, LLC
("USPB") expected to receive a total of $104,001,000 from NBP when NBP made a
distribution of $150,000,000 to its members (the "NBP Distribution.")  USPB
received that distribution from NBP on November 29, 2010.
The October 29 Form 8K described a number of resolutions adopted
by the USPB Board of Directors related to and arising from the NBP
Distribution.  Pursuant to those resolutions, on or about December 20, 2010
USPB redeemed and cancelled, at their face amount, $6,551,523 of the USPB patronage
notices that arose from the patronage activities of USPB's predecessor, U.S.
Premium Beef, Ltd., in fiscal year 1999.
After redemption and cancellation
of the patronage notices described in the preceding paragraph, the remaining
portion of USPB's share of the NBP Distribution equaled $97,449,477.  On or about December 17, 2010, USPB distributed that
aggregate amount to the holders of USPB's Class A units and Class B units (the
"USPB Distribution.")  Under the terms of USPB's amended and restated limited
liability company agreement, the holders of Class A units are entitled to
receive, in the aggregate, 10% of amounts distributed.  Given that the USPB
Distribution totaled $97,449,477, the holders of Class A units received an
aggregate amount of approximately $9,743,851.  With a total of 735,385 Class A
units outstanding, each Class A unit holder received a distribution of
approximately $13.25 per Class A unit held.  The holders of Class B units
received, in the aggregate, 90% of the USPB Distribution, or approximately $87,707,752,
representing approximately $116.11 per unit for each of the 755,385 Class B
units outstanding.
On December 17, 2010, U.S. Premium
Beef, LLC issued a letter to its unitholders enclosing the portion of the USPB
Distribution payable to each unitholder.  The form of that letter is attached
as Exhibit 99.1.
