Item 3. | SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION. |
The 7,131,339 Shares (including options to purchase 3,230,400 Shares) reported herein as beneficially owned by JANA were acquired at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $336 million. Such Shares were acquired with investment funds in accounts managed by JANA and margin borrowings described in the following sentence. Such Shares are held by the investment funds managed by JANA in commingled margin accounts, which may extend margin credit to JANA from time to time, subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules and credit policies. In such instances, the positions held in the margin accounts are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the account. The margin accounts bear interest at a rate based upon the broker’s call rate from time to time in effect. Because other securities are held in the margin accounts, it is not possible to determine the amounts, if any, of margin used to purchase the Shares reported herein. | |
Of the 19,233 Shares reported herein as beneficially owned by Mr. Alford, 10,400 were acquired at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $0.7 million and 8,833 were received by Mr. Alford in connection with the spin-off of the Issuer from Conagra Brands, Inc (“Conagra”). | |
The 73,888 Shares reported herein as beneficially owned by Ms. Dietz were acquired at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $4.6 million. | |
The 16,000 Shares reported herein as beneficially owned by Mr. Gainor were acquired at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.0 million. | |
Of the 40,500 Shares reported herein as beneficially owned by Mr. McLevish, 38,500 were acquired at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $2.4 million and 2,000 were awarded to Mr. McLevish as compensation in connection with his past service with the Issuer and received in connection with the spin-off of the Issuer from Conagra. | |
The 7,885 Shares reported herein as beneficially owned by Mr. Scalzo were acquired at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $0.5 million. |
Item 4. | PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION. |
The Reporting Persons acquired the Shares because they believe the Shares are undervalued and represent an attractive investment opportunity. JANA, with the assistance of the other Reporting Persons and Continental Grain (as defined below), intends to have discussions with the Issuer's board of directors and management regarding topics including: (1) the litany of self-inflicted missteps that have led to underperformance for shareholders; (2) financial performance and core operating deficiencies in areas including customer demand planning and retention, raw potato procurement, ERP system implementation and management, product and manufacturing quality assurance, pricing strategy, retail execution and overhead cost management; (3) capital spending, including aligning capacity expansion projects with utilization, improving returns on capital, re-evaluating long-term capital expenditure targets and providing detailed public disclosure on other capital spending amounts; (4) share repurchase strategy and execution; (5) investor communications, including by acknowledging the magnitude of impact from the Issuer’s mis-execution on its recent capacity utilization levels, which we believe trail North American peers; (6) management compensation practices, including adding targets focused on returns on capital to deprioritize pursuit of growth at any cost; (7) environmental, health and safety practices; (8) oversight and disclosure regarding use of the Issuer’s corporate resources; (9) corporate governance, board composition and management; and (10) initiation of a review of strategic alternatives, particularly given the history of interest in the Issuer and the Issuer’s poor performance for shareholders. |
CUSIP No. 513272104 | SCHEDULE 13D | Page 10 of 14 Pages |
The Reporting Persons may also take other steps to increase stockholder value as well as pursue other plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a)-(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons intend to communicate with the Issuer’s management and Board about, and may enter into negotiations and agreements with them regarding, the foregoing and communicate with other shareholders or other third parties regarding the Issuer. The Reporting Persons may exchange information with any such persons pursuant to appropriate confidentiality or similar agreements, which may contain customary standstill provisions. The Reporting Persons may change their intentions with respect to any and all matters referred to in this Item 4. They may also take steps to explore and prepare for various plans and actions, and propose transactions, before forming an intention to engage in such plans or actions or proceed with such transactions. |
Item 5. | INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER. |
(a) The percentage of Shares reported to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons is based upon 142,597,776 Shares outstanding as of September 25, 2024, as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended August 25, 2024 filed with the SEC on October 2, 2024. | |
As of the close of business on the date hereof, JANA may be deemed to beneficially own 7,131,339 Shares (including options to purchase 3,230,400 Shares), representing approximately 5.0% of the Shares outstanding. | |
As of the close of business on the date hereof, Mr. Alford may be deemed to beneficially own 19,233 Shares, representing less than 0.1% of the Shares outstanding. |
As of the close of business on the date hereof, Ms. Dietz may be deemed to beneficially own 73,888 Shares, representing 0.1% of the Shares outstanding. |
As of the close of business on the date hereof, Mr. Gainor may be deemed to beneficially own 16,000 Shares, representing less than 0.1% of the Shares outstanding. |
As of the close of business on the date hereof, Mr. McLevish may be deemed to beneficially own 40,500 Shares, representing less than 0.1% of the Shares outstanding. |
As of the close of business on the date hereof, Mr. Scalzo may be deemed to beneficially own 7,885 Shares, representing less than 0.1% of the Shares outstanding. |
The Reporting Persons and Continental Grain Company, a Delaware corporation ("Continental Grain"), and certain of its related entities and persons (together with Continental Grain, the "Continental Grain Reporting Persons") may be deemed to be members of a "group" within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act. The Continental Grain Reporting Persons are separately filing on Schedule 13D with respect to their beneficial ownership of the Shares. Based on information and belief, the Continental Grain Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 345,350 Shares. Accordingly, in the aggregate, the Reporting Persons and the Continental Grain Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 7,634,195 Shares, representing approximately 5.4% of the Shares outstanding. Each of the Reporting Persons expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares beneficially owned by the other Reporting Persons and the Continental Grain Reporting Persons. |

Each of the Nominees has entered into a nomination agreement (collectively, the “Nominee Agreements”) with JANA substantially in the form attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Schedule 13D whereby the Nominees agreed to become members of a slate of nominees and stand for election as directors of the Issuer in connection with a proxy solicitation which may be conducted in respect of the Issuer’s 2025 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2025 Annual Meeting”). Pursuant to the Nominee Agreements, JANA has agreed to pay the costs of soliciting proxies in connection with the 2025 Annual Meeting, and to defend and indemnify the Nominees against, and with respect to, any losses that may be incurred by the Nominees in the event they become a party to litigation based on their nomination as candidates for election to the Board and the solicitation of proxies in support of their election. Each of the Nominees received compensation under the Nominee Agreement in the amount of $60,000, and will receive an additional $155,000 in the event of his or her appointment or election. Each of the Nominees agreed to hold Shares with a market-value equal to $215,000 (adjusted for taxes) as of the date of his or her election or appointment (subject to certain exceptions), until the later of when he or she is no longer a director of the Issuer and three years (subject to certain exceptions).
