We welcome opportunities to engage and receive feedback directly from our shareholders and other key stakeholders and believe that such engagement is critical to our effectiveness. The Board has directed the Corporate Secretary’s office to review and process its communications. The Corporate Secretary forwards communications that are appropriate to the duties and responsibilities of the Board and its members and will routinely filter and not retain communications that are solicitations, mass mailings, product related inquiries or feedback, unrelated to the Company or Company business, or determined to be trivial, obscene, unduly hostile, threatening, or similarly unsuitable. The Corporate Secretary’s office will make available any filtered communication to any director upon request. You may also communicate with us by attending the Annual Meeting and voting. We encourage you to share your feedback by voting on the items described in this Proxy Statement.

24CONAGRA BRANDS 2025 PROXY STATEMENT

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Board Leadership Structure in Fiscal 2025 Our Board believes that independent Board leadership is a critical component of our governance structure and annually assesses its leadership structure. Since 2005, our Chair and CEO roles have been separated. The Board believes this structure allows our CEO to focus his time and energy on strategy and operations. Meanwhile our independent Chair leads the Board in its oversight responsibilities. The Board also believes this leadership structure, coupled with independent directors serving as Chairs of each of our three key standing Board committees, enhances the Board’s effectiveness in fulfilling its risk oversight responsibility.
