#### Transformation Journey and Leadership Impact
We remain on a multi-year journey to unlock value for all of our stakeholders, including our employees, stockholders, customers and consumers. In October 2022 we divested a significant portion of our Meal Preparation business, which simplified our portfolio and sharpened our focus on higher-growth, higher-margin snacking and beverage categories. We emerged from the dynamic pandemic period – one characterized by unprecedented supply chain and talent retention challenges – with improved operational and financial performance. Over the course of 2023 and 2024 we acquired and integrated companies and assets that enhanced our coffee, pickle and pretzel capabilities, and started 2025 with the acquisition of private brand tea leader Harris Tea. While we have made meaningful progress, our journey is ongoing, and we continue to evaluate our portfolio to ensure we are well-positioned for long-term growth. We are navigating headwinds that have been reflected in our pay for performance results, and we remain focused on addressing these challenges with agility and discipline. Through these investments, our management team remains committed to positioning TreeHouse Foods as a more focused category leader.

Our management team is incentivized to achieve our strategic objectives, retain the right talent and leadership, and reward performance that creates long-term value for our stockholders. The Committee considered the individual and collective efforts of the NEOs' contributions in their assessment of their performance and in determining their compensation for 2024.

Below we summarize this transformation journey:
