forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities

Forward-looking statements are based on current information and are

inflationary pressure on the cost of our products, including

increasing legal complexity and legal proceedings that we are or
may become subject to, (n) labor shortages and turnover or
increases in employee and employee-related costs, (o) the credit,
business, and legal risks associated with independent distributor
partners and customers, which operate in the highly competitive
retail food and foodservice industries, (p) any business
disruptions due to political instability, pandemics, armed
hostilities, incidents of terrorism, natural disasters, labor
strikes or work stoppages, technological breakdowns, product
contamination, product recalls or safety concerns related to our
products, or the responses to or repercussions from any of these or
similar events or conditions and our ability to insure against such
events, (q) the failure of our information technology systems to
perform adequately, including any interruptions, intrusions,
cyber-attacks or security breaches of such systems or risks
associated with the implementation of the upgrade of our ERP
system; and (r) the potential impact of climate change on the
company, including physical and transition risks, availability or
restriction of resources, higher regulatory and compliance costs,
reputational risks, and availability of capital on attractive
terms. The foregoing list of important factors does not include all
such factors, nor does it necessarily present them in order of
importance. In addition, you should consult other disclosures made
by the company (such as in our other filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission ("SEC") or in company press releases) for

forward-looking statements, as they speak only as of the date made
and are inherently uncertain. The company undertakes no obligation
to publicly revise or update such statements, except as required by
law. You are advised, however, to consult any further public
