On February 25, 2021, Jorge Paulo Lemann, a member of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of The Kraft Heinz Company (the “Company”), informed the Company of his decision to retire from the Board after the end of his term at the Company’s 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (“2021 Annual Meeting”). Mr. Lemann, 81, has decided to reduce his travel commitments and will not seek re-election. He has been on the Board since the Company was formed in July 2015 and previously served on the board of directors of H.J. Heinz Holding Corporation from June 2013 to July 2015. Most importantly, Mr. Lemann continues to be a long-term owner of the Company as a Founding Partner of 3G Capital, the Company’s lead stockholder alongside Berkshire Hathaway. 3G Capital plans to nominate a replacement to stand for election at the 2021 Annual Meeting. Mr. Lemann’s decision not to stand for re-election is not the result of any disagreement with management or the Board related to the Company’s operations, policies, or practices. The Board is grateful for Mr. Lemann’s dedicated service to the Company.
