Kellogg Company (K)

      Retirement benefits under the Kellogg Company Salaried Pension Plan (the “Pension Plan”), a defined benefit plan qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), are payable to salaried and certain hourly and union employees who have vested upon retirement at age 65 or in reduced amounts upon earlier retirement prior to age 65 in accordance with the Pension Plan. Benefits are based upon years of credited service and average annual compensation (salary and bonus). With respect to certain grandfathered participants (which includes Messrs. Gutierrez, Mackay, Harris and Montie in the Summary Compensation Table), average annual compensation is the three consecutive years during the last ten years of employment producing the greatest annual average. For non-grandfathered participants, average annual compensation is the five consecutive years during the last ten years of employment producing the greatest annual average. Benefits for certain hourly and union participants are calculated based on years of credited service and a dollar multiplier. Benefits are reduced by a portion of the retiree’s Social Security-covered compensation and by certain amounts accrued pursuant to a previous profit-sharing plan. The Company also maintains a Supplemental Retirement Plan and an Excess Benefit Retirement Plan that provide for payment of an additional benefit to all participants in the Pension Plan equal to the benefits that would have been payable under the Pension Plan but for certain limitations imposed by the Code. Estimated annual benefits payable upon retirement to persons of the specified compensation and years of credited service classifications, as reduced by Social Security benefits (assuming their present levels), are as shown in the following table. Such amounts assume payments in the form of a straight life annuity which begin at full retirement and include the payment of benefits under the Company’s Supplemental Retirement Plan and Excess Benefit Retirement Plan.

      At January 1, 2005, the credited years of service under the Pension Plan for the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table were as follows: Mr. Gutierrez, 29 years; Mr. Mackay, 13 years; Mr. Harris, 20 years; Mr. Montie, 17 years; and Mr. Bryant, 6 years. The compensation covered by the Pension Plan is equal to the
