Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

The Reporting Persons purchased the Shares based on the Reporting Persons’ belief that the Shares, when purchased, were undervalued and represented an attractive investment opportunity. Depending upon overall market conditions, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, and the availability of Shares at prices that would make the purchase or sale of Shares desirable, the Reporting Persons may endeavor to increase or decrease their position in the Issuer through, among other things, the purchase or sale of Shares on the open market or in private transactions or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable.

On June 17, 2013, Starboard Value LP and its affiliates (“Starboard”) delivered a letter to the Board of Directors of the Issuer (the “Board”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. In the letter, Starboard stated that it has been a shareholder of the Issuer since March 2013, several months prior to the announcement on May 29, 2013 that the Issuer and Shuanghui International Holdings Limited (“Shuanghui”) entered into a definitive merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) valuing the Issuer at approximately $7.4 billion, or $34.00 per share (the "Proposed Merger"). Starboard further stated that it initially invested in the Issuer because it believed that the Issuer was significantly undervalued and that there were opportunities within the control of management and the Board to significantly improve value for the benefit of shareholders. Specifically, Starboard noted that its research indicated that the sum-of-the parts value of the Issuer’s operating divisions, which include Hog Production, International, and Pork, was well in excess of the then-current trading price of the Issuer and that a separation of these businesses was entirely feasible and could be accomplished without significant tax leakage. Starboard also expressed its belief that there are several likely strategic acquirers for each of these divisions and that on a standalone basis, it had identified opportunities for increased operational efficiencies that, particularly in the Pork division, could dramatically improve operating margins and profitability.

In the letter, Starboard stated that it believes the Proposed Merger goes a long way towards closing the gap between the pre-deal market value of the Issuer and the intrinsic value of the business, yet believes the Proposed Merger still significantly understates a conservative sum-of-the-parts valuation of the Issuer, which Starboard estimates to be worth between $9 billion and $10.8 billion after tax, or approximately $44 to $55 per share, representing an approximate 29%-62% premium to the $34 per share Shuanghui deal. Starboard's detailed valuation analysis of each of the Issuer's operating divisions is contained in the letter.

Starboard also stated that as a significant stakeholder of the Issuer, it was sending the letter in order to: (1) share its in-depth research and analysis on the Issuer with management and the Board, which it believes clearly demonstrates that the Issuer could be worth well in excess of $34.00 per share if the Issuer had fully shopped its operating divisions to all such potentially interested parties; (2) inform the Board that it believes there are numerous interested parties for each of the Issuer’s operating divisions, and that a piece-by-piece sale of the Issuer’s businesses could result in greater value to the Issuer’s shareholders than the Proposed Merger; and (3) inform the Board of its intention to fully explore the possibility of whether greater value could be realized by way of a piece-by-piece sale of the Issuer’s valuable, yet disparate, operating divisions to interested third parties, which Starboard believes is necessary to fulfill its duty to its investors while at the same time serving the interests of shareholders by providing them with another metric by which to critically evaluate the Proposed Merger.

Starboard further stated that it fully understands that under the Merger Agreement the Issuer is contractually prohibited from seeking superior offers for the Issuer or from contacting third parties who may be interested in acquiring certain of the Issuer’s operating divisions and that in light of this limitation, Starboard is seeking to identify and connect any strategic or financial buyer for the Issuer’s individual business units to determine if it would be possible to structure a sum-of the-parts transaction that could deliver greater value for shareholders than the Proposed Merger. Starboard also noted that it hopes its efforts will lead to the submission of a Superior Proposal under the terms of the Merger Agreement, in which case it believes the Board must consider a Change in Company Board Recommendation under the terms of the Merger Agreement.

Starboard concluded by stating that it looks forward to determining whether there are potential interested parties who could facilitate such a sum-of-the-parts transaction structure and that by sending the letter to the Board, Starboard is not taking any position or making any recommendation on the Proposed Merger and reserves all rights related thereto.
