| The Accountability Board, 401 Edgewater Place, Suite 600, Wakefield, MA 01880, the owner of at least $25,000 worth of our common stock, has advised the Company it plans to present the following proposal at the Annual Meeting.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
 RESOLVED:Shareholders ask that our board take the steps necessary so that any voting requirement in our governing documents calling for a greater than simple majority vote be replaced by a requirement for a majority of the votes cast for and against applicable proposals, or a simple majority in compliance with applicable laws.                                                                                                                                                                                        
 DEAR FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
 TreeHouse’s governing documents include several “supermajority” voting requirements. For example, “notwithstanding the fact that a lesser percentage may be specified by applicable law, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least seventy-five percent (75%)” of the company’s outstanding voting stock is required to amend various provisions of the certificate of incorporation. A 75% supermajority vote is also required for shareholders to adopt, amend, or repeal any of the company’s bylaws.                  
 Supermajority requirements are widely viewed as poor governance. Such provisions diminish board accountability and inhibit shareholder rights.
