Treatment of Sara Lee Stock Options Held by Our Employees

As of July 1, 2006, our employees held options to purchase approximately 12,762,024 shares of Sara Lee common stock, or “SLC Options.” All outstanding SLC Options held by our employees will become fully vested on the distribution date and each vested SLC Option held by our employees as of the consummation of the spin off will remain an option (adjusted as provided below) to purchase shares of Sara Lee common stock following the spin off.

We have been informed by Sara Lee that the Sara Lee Compensation and Employee Benefits Committee expects to adjust the SLC Options using the “spread” and “ratio” tests set forth in Section 424 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder in order to preserve the pre-spin off intrinsic value of the SLC Options. Thus, the Sara Lee Compensation and Employee Benefits Committee intends to adjust the option prices and the number of shares subject to the SLC Options such that for each SLC Option (i) the aggregate fair market value of the shares of Sara Lee common stock subject to the SLC Option immediately after the distribution over the aggregate option price of such Sara Lee common stock will be equal to the aggregate fair market value of the shares of Sara Lee common stock subject to the SLC Option immediately before the distribution over the

aggregate option price of such Sara Lee common stock and (ii) on a share-by-share comparison, the ratio of the option price to the fair market value of the Sara Lee common stock subject to the SLC Option immediately after the distribution will be equal to the ratio of the option price to the fair market value of the Sara Lee common stock subject to the SLC Option immediately before the distribution.

Our employees will be considered to have terminated employment with Sara Lee for purposes of their outstanding SLC Option grants. Accordingly, most of our employees will have only six months following the distribution to exercise their SLC Options, except to the extent that the terms of such options provide for an extension of the exercise period beyond that six-month period. Under no circumstances will an SLC Option be exercisable after its original expiration date. Other than the adjustments described above, all other terms and conditions of the SLC Options will continue to apply.
