(the "Purchaser"), dated September 10, 2023 (the "Merger Agreement"), Purchaser completed an exchange offer to purchase any and all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Company Common Stock"), in exchange for (i) $30.00 in cash and (ii) 0.03002 Smucker common shares, no par value, plus cash in lieu of fractional shares, in each case, without interest. Thereafter, on November 7, 2023, in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Purchaser merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and becoming a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Smucker (the "Merger"). |

Upon the closing of the Merger, the Reporting Person received Equity Award Consideration of $905,312.50. |
