Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of
Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On May 24, 2021, Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc. (“we,”
“our, “us” or the “Company”) announced the appointment of Bernadette Madarieta as Senior Vice President
and Chief Financial Officer, effective August 6, 2021. In this capacity, Ms. Madarieta will serve as the Company’s principal financial
officer. The Company also announced that Robert McNutt will retire as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company,
effective August 6, 2021.
Ms. Madarieta, age 46, has over 20 years of experience
leading finance teams for publicly traded companies. She has served as the Company’s Vice President and Controller and Principal
Accounting Officer since November 2016. Prior to joining the Company, Ms. Madarieta served as Vice President and Controller of Packaging
Corporation of America (a containerboard and corrugated packaging manufacturer) from October 2013 to November 2016, and Vice President
and Controller at Boise Inc. (a packaging and paper products manufacturer) from February 2011 to October 2013.
In connection with Ms. Madarieta’s appointment,
the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved an annualized base salary of $570,000, an annual bonus target
under the Company’s Annual Incentive Plan of 100% of base salary and an annual target opportunity under the Company’s Long-Term
Incentive Plan equal to $1,140,000. The terms of Ms. Madarieta’s compensation are summarized in a Letter Agreement, dated as of
May 21, 2021 (the “Madarieta Agreement”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1. The foregoing description of
the Madarieta Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Madarieta
Agreement, which is incorporated by reference herein.
There are no transactions between Ms. Madarieta
and us that would be reportable under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. Ms. Madarieta was not selected pursuant to any arrangement or understanding
between her and any other person.
In connection with Mr. McNutt’s retirement,
the Compensation Committee approved the pro rata vesting of Mr. McNutt’s outstanding restricted stock units (“RSUs”)
and performance share awards (“PSAs”) as described in the “Early Retirement” vesting provisions set forth in the
underlying award agreements and subject to his continued compliance with his restrictive covenant obligations. Accordingly, the number
of RSUs and PSAs that will vest will be based on the number of days Mr. McNutt was employed during the applicable three-year vesting or
performance period, but final payment for the PSAs, if any, will also be based on the final performance certification at the end of the
applicable performance cycle for each PSA. The terms of Mr. McNutt’s compensation are summarized in a Letter Agreement, dated as
of May 24, 2021 (the “McNutt Agreement”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2. The foregoing description of
the McNutt Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the McNutt Agreement,
which is incorporated by reference herein.
