Treatment of Fractional Shares

Fractional shares of our common stock will not be issued to Sara Lee stockholders as part of the distribution nor credited to book-entry accounts. Record stockholders of fewer than eight shares of Sara Lee common stock on the record date, which would entitle them to receive less than one whole share of our common stock, will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares. The distribution agent will aggregate all of the fractional shares and sell them in the open market at then prevailing prices on behalf of these stockholders. These stockholders will receive cash payments in the amount of their proportionate share of the net sale proceeds from the sale of the aggregated fractional shares, based upon the average gross selling price per share of our common stock after making appropriate deductions for any required withholdings for U.S. federal income tax purposes. See “—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Spin Off” for a discussion of the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the proceeds received from the sale of fractional shares. We will bear the cost of brokerage fees incurred in connection with these sales. We anticipate that these sales will occur as soon after the date of the spin off as practicable as determined by the distribution agent. None of Sara Lee, us or the distribution agent will guarantee any minimum sale price for the fractional shares. The distribution agent will have the sole discretion to select the broker-dealer(s) through which to sell the shares and to determine when, how and at what price to sell the shares. Further, neither the distribution agent nor the selected broker-dealer(s) will be our affiliate or an affiliate of Sara Lee.
