| 2025 Proxy Statement | 1 |

Notice is hereby given that the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Utz Brands, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), will be held virtually on Thursday, April 24, 2025, at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time. The meeting can be accessed by registering at http:\\register.proxypush.com/utz . Those who register will be provided a meeting link approximately one hour before the meeting start time. Through that link, you will be able to listen to the meeting live, submit questions and vote online. There will be no physical location for stockholders to attend the Annual Meeting in person. Stockholders may only participate by following the registration procedure outlined below. We believe that a virtual Annual Meeting provides greater access to those who want to attend, and therefore we have chosen this format over an in-person meeting. At the Annual Meeting, stockholders will be asked to consider and vote upon the following proposals: 1. To elect four directors named herein to serve as the Class II directors on the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) until the 2028 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or until such director's successor is elected and qualified; 2. To vote on a non-binding, advisory resolution to approve executive compensation; 3. To ratify the selection by our Audit Committee of Grant Thornton LLP to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 28, 2025; and 4. Such other matters as may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof. Our Board of Directors recommends that you vote “ FOR ” each of the nominees named herein for Class II directors (Proposal No. 1); “ FOR ” approval of the non-binding, advisory resolution to approve executive compensation (Proposal No. 2 ); and “ FOR ” ratification of the selection by our Audit Committee of Grant Thornton LLP to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 28, 2025 (Proposal No. 3). Our Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on March 4, 2025 as the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the Annual Meeting. Only stockholders of record as of such record date
