PROPOSAL OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING TO BE HELD ON JULY 3RD, 2023

Dear Shareholders,

In compliance with the provisions of the Brazilian Securities and Exchange ("CVM") Resolution No. 81 of March 29, 2022 ("CVM Resolution No. 81"), as amended we present below the management proposal ("Proposal") of BRF S.A. ("Company" or "BRF"), containing the information and documents related to the matters to be resolved at the Extraordinary General Shareholders' Meeting of the Company, to be held on July 3rd, 2023, at 11:00 a.m. ("EGM"), exclusively under virtual format, by means of the digital platform Chorus Call.

(i) The increase of the authorized capital limit, from the current one billion, three hundred and twenty-five million (1,325,000,000) common shares to one billion, eight hundred and twenty-five million (1,825,000,000) common shares, with the consequent amendment of the caput of article 7 of the Company's bylaws ("Company's Bylaws") and consolidation of the Company's Bylaws; and

Management Proposal: The Company's management proposes to increase the limit of authorized capital from one billion, three hundred and twenty-five million (1,325,000,000) common shares to one billion, eight hundred and twenty-five million (1,825,000,000) common shares, in relation to the common shares that may be issued in capital increases approved by the Company's Board of Directors, considering the proximity of the current limit. This change aims to allow the Board of Directors to approve capital increases more quickly, in order to execute the Company's business plan and its corporate purpose, without the need for statutory reform.

As a result of the proposal to increase the limit of authorized capital, the caput of article 7 of the Company's Bylaws will be amended to state that the Company is authorized to increase its capital stock, regardless of changes to the Company's Bylaws, by resolution of the Board of Directors, until the number of shares into which the capital stock is divided becomes one billion, eight hundred and twenty-five million (1,825,000,000) common shares.

1

If the proposal is approved, the caput of article 7 of the Company's Bylaws will take effect with the following wording:

"Article 7. The Company is authorized to increase its capital stock, regardless of statutory reform, until the number of shares into which the capital stock is divided becomes one billion, eight hundred and twenty-five million (1,825,000,000) common shares, upon resolution of the Board of Directors"

As a result of the above, we present Appendix I, containing the consolidated Company's Bylaws, highlighting the proposed changes, and Appendix II, detailing the origin and justifications for the relevant changes, with an analysis of their legal and economic effects, as established in article 12 of CVM Resolution No. 81.

If the above proposal is approved, the Company's management proposes the approval of the consolidation of the Company's Bylaws so as to reflect, in a single document, the current wording, in accordance with the document in Appendix I to this Proposal.

(ii) Deletion of article 41 of the Company's Bylaws, under the condition precedent to the settlement of an eventual capital increase through the issuance of new shares by the Company ("Capital Increase") with the consequent deletion of cross references and renumbering of the other articles, and consolidation of the Company's Bylaws. Additionally, the waiver to the shareholders and/or investors from conducting a Tender Offer referred to in article 41 of the Company's Bylaws, in the context of an eventual Capital Increase (regardless of whether the Capital Increase will be approved by the shareholders or by the Company's Board of Directors).

Management Proposal: The Company's management proposes, under the condition precedent to the settlement of a possible Capital Increase, the exclusion of article 41 of the Company's Bylaws, which deals with a statutory Tender Offer for the acquisition of a significant interest, with the consequent exclusion of cross-references and renumbering of the other articles, and the consolidation of the Company's Bylaws. Additionally, the management proposes the exemption from the requirement for any shareholder and/or investor to make the statutory Tender Offer mentioned in article 41 of the Company's Bylaws in the context of a possible Capital Increase (regardless of whether this will be carried out upon approval by the shareholders or by the Company's Board of Directors).

If this matter is approved by the Shareholders and the Company carries out a Capital Increase, whether by means of a primary public offering of shares issued by the Company or a private capital increase with the issuance of new shares, the any shareholder and/or investor who comes to hold shares issued by the Company in an amount equal to or higher than 33.33% (thirty-three point thirty-three percent) of the total shares issued by the Company, will not have the obligation to carry out the Tender Offer for the acquisition of a significant interest provided for in article 41 of the Company's Bylaws. Furthermore, after the settlement of the referred Capital Increase, such statutory obligation shall cease to exist.

It is the management's understanding that, after the completion of the Capital Increase and the effectiveness of the exclusion of article 41 of the Company's Bylaws, the Company may benefit from greater flexibility to carry out corporate transactions beneficial to the Company, by eliminating the requirement to make a Tender Offer additional to those provided for in the applicable laws and regulations, at artificially high prices, constituting an impediment to investment in the Company's common shares, and may ultimately harm their valuation.

2

Finally, it should be noted that the deletion of article 41 of the Company's Bylaws is one of the conditions to be met under the investment commitment sent by the investor Saudi Agricultural and Livestock Investment Saudi Agricultural and Livestock Investment Company ("SALIC") to the Company, under the terms of the Material Fact disclosed by the Company on May 31, 2023.

As a result of the above, we present Apendix III, containing the consolidated Company's Bylaws, highlighting the proposed changes, and Apendix IV, detailing the origin and justifications for the relevant changes, with an analysis of their legal and economic effects, as established in article 12 of CVM Resolution No.81.

The Company's management clarifies that the effective exclusion of article 41 of the Company's Bylaws and and consequently of cross-references and renumbering of the other articles, as well as the consolidation of the Company's Bylaws set forth in Annex III is conditioned to the liquidation of a Capital Increase. Therefore, the consolidation of the Company's Bylaws with the adjustments proposed in this deliberation will only become effective after the liquidation of a Capital Increase.

This amendment, to be approved under the condition precedent to the settlement of a possible Capital Increase, aims to exclude the statutory Tender Offer for acquisition of a relevant interest.

Thus, if this matter is approved by the Shareholders and the Company carries out a Capital Increase, either through a primary public offering of shares issued by the Company or a private capital increase with the issuance of new shares, any shareholder of the Company and/or investor that comes to hold shares issued by the Company in a quantity equal or superior to 33.33% (thirty-three point thirty-three percent) of the total shares issued by the Company shall not be obliged to carry out the Tender Offer for acquisition of a relevant interest set forth in article 41 of the Bylaws.

According to management, after the conclusion of the Capital Increase and the effectiveness of the exclusion of article 41, the Company may benefit from greater flexibility to carry out corporate transactions beneficial to the Company, by eliminating the obligation to make a Tender Offer additional to those provided for in the applicable legislation and regulations, at artificially high prices, constituting an obstacle to investment in the Company's common shares, which could ultimately harm their valuation.

Finally, it should be noted that the deletion of article 41 of the Bylaws is one of the conditions to be met under the investment commitment sent by investor SALIC to the Company, under the terms of the Material Fact disclosed by the Company on May 31, 2023.

The Company's management clarifies that the effective exclusion of article 41 of the Bylaws, and consequently of cross references and renumbering of the other articles, as well as this consolidation is conditioned to the settlement of a Capital Increase. Thus, this consolidation containing the adjustments proposed in resolution (ii) of the agenda of the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting will only become effective after the settlement of a Capital Increase.
