 addition to the independent oversight and leadership provided by our Lead Director, our Board and the Company maintain strong corporate governance practices, including:

| ● | At each regularly scheduled Board meeting, our directors meet without our CEO or any                                                  
 other members of management present to discuss issues important to Kraft Heinz, including any matters regarding management.           |
| ● | The Governance Committee develops and oversees an annual evaluation process for the Board and all                                     
 Committees of the Board.                                                                                                              |
| ● | Our stockholders vote to elect all directors annually and our By-Laws provide that in uncontested                                     
 elections director nominees must be elected by a majority of the votes cast.                                                          |
| ● | We have three standing Board Committees, which consist solely of, and are chaired by, independent                                     
 directors.                                                                                                                            |
| ● | Our stockholders have access to strong stockholder rights, including the right to call a special                                      
 meeting of stockholders and the right to take stockholder action by written consent.                                                  |
| ● | We reach out to our largest stockholders for engagement in the fall, in advance of our annual review of governance best practices,    
 and in the spring, in advance of our Annual Meeting. In addition, we engage with investors and other stakeholders on an ongoing basis 
 regarding various matters, including ESG.                                                                                             |

In summary, our Board should retain the flexibility to select the leadership structure that is best suited to meet the needs of the Company and its stockholders at any given time. Adopting a rigid policy as requested by this proposal would impair the Board’s ability to structure its leadership in the manner it believes most effectively serves Company and stockholders’ interests. The proposal is unnecessary due to our strong governance practices, including our robust and independent Lead Director role.
