NEW YORK — JBS S.A. confirmed it would delay its trading at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) by one day.

The dual listing of the Brazilian meat company was rescheduled for June 13.

JBS S.A. stated in a 6-K filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) a one-day push was needed for “required operational procedures.”

The company also said dividend payments for the dual listing would be on June 17.

Approval for listing the JBS stock in the United States in addition to Brazil came after a general shareholders' meeting last month. The two largest shareholders — J&F Investimentos and BNDESPar — abstained from voting at the meeting.

JBS has been working to list company shares in the United States for several years.

However the company’s stock decision has been met with backlash from environmental groups as well as members of Congress due to allegations of corruption, anti-competitive business practices and negative environmental impacts.
