(2) All outstanding stock options held by each NEO on December 31, 2024 are underwater.

| CEO Pay Ratio |

Our CEO pay ratio, calculated in accordance with the requirements set for in Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, is 123:1.

• Mr. Oakland's total annual compensation was $8,321,678 and

• Our median employee was a full-time, hourly, United States based employee with total annual compensation of $67,793.

TreeHouse Foods is a private label food manufacturer with 7,428 employees in the United States and Canada, excluding the CEO, as of November 1, 2024. Our median employee was identified using the Company's global full-time, part-time, temporary, and seasonal employees employed on that date.

We then measured compensation for the period beginning January 1, 2024 and ending on December 31, 2024 for the remaining employees. Each employee's 2024 earnings (gross pay) was used as our consistently applied compensation measure to identify the median employee, and in doing so we annualized the compensation for our permanent full-time and part-time employees who were newly hired during 2024 and therefore not employed for the full measurement period.

After identifying the median employee, we calculated that employee's total annual compensation in the same manner as for the NEOs in the 2024 Summary Compensation Table ("SCT") and added the value of non-discriminatory benefits. The annual total compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and President, Mr. Oakland, is his total compensation from the SCT plus the value of non-discriminatory benefits.

The SEC’s rules for identifying the median compensated employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee’s annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions, and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their employee populations and compensation
