Exhibit 99.3

Business Update on Behalf of Chris Sliva, CEO and President

I have some important and exciting news to share with you today. This morning, we announced that we have entered into an agreement to become a part of Tyson Foods. As many of you know, Tyson is a market leader in chicken, beef and pork as well as prepared foods, and one of the world’s largest food companies supplying retail and foodservice customers throughout the United States and internationally. Tyson has agreed to purchase AdvancePierre for $40.25 per share in cash, which values AdvancePierre at approximately $4.2 billion, including the assumption of our $1.1 billion in debt. You can find the press release regarding the news here: www.advancepierre.com

The first thing I want all of you to know is that Tyson’s interest and the significant value they see in our company are a testament to our collective success in delivering superior service and great-tasting, customer-driven food solutions. This is a strong validation that our strategy is working and that a promising future lies ahead for our business.

AdvancePierre has grown from our humble roots into a dynamic company with leading market positions in attractive, growing categories. We achieved a significant milestone last July with our IPO, and thanks to the hard work and dedication of every member of the AdvancePierre team, we have proven our ability to deliver strong results as a public company. This great work has been recognized by the financial community and shareholders who chose to invest in our company, and it’s no surprise that we also caught the attention of a global leader like Tyson, which has the world’s fastest-growing portfolio of protein-packed brands.

The Tyson team shares our commitment to delivering high-quality products and delighting customers with great-tasting food. They believe that our success to date is because we have a great business model, a dedicated team and trusted brands. Following the completion of the transition, there will be significant opportunities for our business and our employees to benefit from being a part of Tyson’s global footprint and broad capabilities.

It’s also important to keep in mind that today’s announcement is only the first step in the transaction process. We anticipate that the transaction will close in the second quarter of 2017 and we will be sure to keep you updated as we move toward that target.

Until the close, we will continue to operate as separate companies. It’s extremely important that we all continue to focus on our day-to-day responsibilities, and continue providing our customers with the superior service that they expect from us. Please direct any external inquiries from media or investors to John Morgan.

Thank you again for your hard work and continued commitment to AdvancePierre and our customers. We have a bright future ahead and today’s news is a big step towards realizing our next chapter.
