IBP's Annual Report to stockholders, which is incorporated by reference in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 28, 1996 filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"). 2. All other reports filed pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act by IBP since December 28, 1996. 3. The description of IBP's securities contained in IBP's Registration Statement on Form 10(No.1-6058) filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, including any other amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating such description. 4. All documents subsequently filed by IBP pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be part hereof from the date of filing of such documents. EXPERTS AND COUNSEL The legality of the common stock offered hereby under the Plan has been passed upon by L. O. Grigsby, General Counsel for IBP, who is eligible for awards pursuant to the Plan. The consolidated financial statements of IBP and its consolidated subsidiaries included or incorporated by reference to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for year ended December 28, 1996, which is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement, have been so incorporated in reliance on the report of Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. or Price Waterhouse LLP, independent public accountants, as indicated in the Annual Report, and are incorporated by reference herein in reliance upon the authority of said firms as experts in accounting and auditing in giving said reports. -2- The reports of independent public accountants relating to the audited financial statements and financial statement schedules of IBP in any documents filed by IBP pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the date of this Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, to the extent covered by consents thereto filed with the Commission, will be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement in reliance upon the authority of such independent public accountants as experts in accounting and auditing in giving said reports to the extent that firm has examined those financial statements and financial statement schedules and consented to the use of their reports thereon. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS The General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the By-laws of IBP provide for the indemnification of directors and officers under certain conditions. In addition, the directors and officers of IBP are insured under certain insurance policies insuring them against claims made during periods of the policies and against liabilities arising from such claims for certain wrongful acts in their capacities as directors and/or officers and for which they are not indemnified by IBP. Upon receiving the approval of IBP's stockholders on September 17, 1987, IBP's Certificate of Incorporation was amended to implement the provisions of Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL"), which Section permits corporations to adopt charter provisions which limit or eliminate personal liability of directors for certain breaches of their fiduciary duties. IBP's directors do not have personal liability to IBP or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except: (i) for any breach of the duty of loyalty to IBP or its stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law; (iii) for liability under Section 174 of the DGCL (involving certain unlawful payment of dividends, stock repurchases or stock redemptions); or (iv) for any transaction from which the directors derive an improper personal benefit. Except as described in the preceding sentence, a director does not have any liability arising out of actions involving negligence or gross negligence, including actions in response to acquisition proposals. IBP's Board of Directors voted on September 16, 1987 and its stockholders voted on September 17, 1987 to authorize IBP to enter into indemnification agreements with its directors and certain of its officers. Upon receiving such authorization, indemnification agreements were entered into with certain of IBP's directors and officers. Such indemnification agreements provide, among other things, for (i) indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by -3- law against any and all expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement of any claim against a director unless it is determined, as provided in the indemnification agreement, that indemnification is not permitted under law; (ii) the prompt advancement of expenses to any director in connection with his or her defense against any threatened or pending claim; (iii) the creation of a trust in the event of potential change of control to provide a source of a payment of indemnification obligations of IBP; and (iv) a provision that no legal action be brought and no cause of action asserted against a director by or on behalf of IBP after the expiration of two (2) years from the date of accrual of such cause of action. Similar indemnification agreements may from time to time be entered into with officers of IBP or certain other employees or agents of IBP. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling IBP pursuant to the foregoing provisions, IBP has been informed that, in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. UNDERTAKINGS Pursuant to Item 512(a),(b),(e) and (h) of Regulation S-K, the undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: (a) (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement: (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement; (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement; Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the Registration Statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by -4- reference in the Registration Statement. (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post- effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (3) To remove from registration by means of a post- effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. (b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (e) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest Annual Report to security holders that is incorporated by reference in the Prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and, where interim financial information required to be presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X are not set forth in the Prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered to each person to whom the Prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in the Prospectus to provide such interim financial information. (h) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the -5- registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for the filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the city of Dakota Dunes, State of South Dakota, on April 30, 1997.
