Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions

We maintain procedures relating to the review, approval or ratification, if pre-approval was not feasible, of transactions in which we are a participant and in which any of our directors, director nominees, named executive officers, major stockholders or their family members have a direct or indirect material interest. We refer to these individuals and entities in this Proxy Statement as related parties. Our Code of Ethics, which is available on our website at https://www.treehousefoods.com/investors/governance/governance-documents, prohibits our employees, including our executive officers and directors, from engaging in certain activities. These activities typically relate to conflict of interest situations where an employee or director may have significant financial or business interests in another company competing with or doing business with us, or who stands to benefit in some way from such a relationship or activity.

We review all relationships and transactions in which the Company and our directors, director nominees, named executive officers, or their immediate family members are participants, to determine whether such persons have a direct or indirect material interest and the dollar value. Our Legal Department has responsibility for the development and implementation of processes and controls to obtain information from the directors and executive officers with respect to related party transactions and for then determining, based upon the facts and circumstances, whether the Company or a related party has a direct or indirect material interest in the transaction. Each year, we require our directors and executive officers to complete a questionnaire, among other things, to identify such related party relationships and transactions. Further, any director faced with any potential conflict is required to disclose any such potential conflict to the Chair of the Board, Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and the General Counsel of the Company. As required under SEC rules, transactions involving the Company that exceed $120,000 and that a related party has a direct or indirect material interest in are disclosed in our Proxy Statement. Our Board has responsibility for reviewing and approving or ratifying, if pre-approval was not feasible, related person transactions.

Since January 1, 2024, there were no reportable related person transactions, and there are currently no proposed transactions in excess of $120,000 in which the
