| Summary of the Annual Meeting |

| Resignation Policy |

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines utilize a resignation policy in connection with an uncontested election of directors. Accordingly, if, in an uncontested election, an incumbent director nominee receives a greater number of votes marked “against” his or her election than votes marked “for” his or her election, that nominee is expected to tender his or her resignation following certification of the stockholder vote. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall consider the resignation offer, and a range of possible responses based on the circumstances that led to the Majority Against Vote, if known, and make a recommendation to the Board. The Board will act on the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s recommendation within 90 days following certification of the stockholder vote.

| Method and Cost of Soliciting and Tabulating Votes |

The solicitation of proxies from our stockholders is being made by the Board and management of the Company. TreeHouse will bear the costs of soliciting and tabulating your votes, including the cost of preparing and mailing the Proxy Statement, the proxy card, and our Annual Report. Alliance Advisors will act as our proxy solicitor in soliciting votes for a fee of approximately $29,000 plus the reimbursement of reasonable out of pocket expenses. Solicitation will be primarily through the use of the U.S. Postal Service and the internet and by telephone. Our officers, directors, and regular employees may solicit proxies personally or by telephone or through the use of the internet without additional remuneration for such activity.

TreeHouse will reimburse banks, brokers and other holders of record for reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding these proxy materials to you, and obtaining proxies from you, according to certain regulatory fee schedules. The actual amount will depend on variables such as the number of packages mailed, the number of stockholders receiving electronic delivery, and postage costs.

Representatives of Broadridge Financial Services will act as the proxy tabulator and inspector of elections at the Annual Meeting.

| Householding |

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy materials with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single Proxy Statement and Annual Report addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding”, potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies. We have not implemented householding rules with respect to our record holders. However,
