*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	In connection with the completion of a cash tender offer launched by Tyson Foods, Inc. ("Tyson") to purchase all of Issuer's issued and outstanding common stock (the "Tender Offer") pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated as of July 1, 2014, among Tyson, HMB Holdings, Inc. and Issuer.
(2)	This includes 22,435 restricted stock units. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, these restricted stock units became fully vested at the acceptance time of the Tender Offer in exchange for the right to receive a cash payment equal to the number of shares of common stock subject to the restricted stock unit multiplied by $63.00 per share.
(3)	These shares were converted to $63.00 per share in cash upon effectiveness of the merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement.
(4)	These deferred stock units vested in full at the acceptance time of the Tender Offer pursuant to the Merger Agreement in exchange for an aggregate cash payment equal to the number of shares of Issuer's common stock underlying such deferred stock units multiplied by the $63.00 per share tender price. The cash equivalent will remain in an income interest bearing account for the elected deferral period.
