Case No. 1:20-cv-02259

Judge Robert M. Dow

MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE DOCUMENTS UNDER SEAL

Pursuant to Local Rule 26.2, Lead Plaintiffs Dale Waters and Stephen Silverman (together, 

“Lead Plaintiffs”), request leave to file under seal their memoranda in opposition to defendants’ 

motions to dismiss the Consolidated Verified Second Amended Stockholder Derivative Complaint 

(the “Complaint”). In support thereof, Lead Plaintiffs state:

1. On November 22, 2021, Lead Plaintiffs filed the operative Complaint. ECF No. 81. 

They concurrently moved to seal the Complaint because it references documents and information 

produced by The Kraft Heinz Company (“Kraft Heinz”) pursuant to the terms of a confidentiality 

agreement between the parties. See ECF No. 79. On November 25, 2021, the Court granted their 

motion to file the Complaint under seal. ECF No. 85.

2. On January 21, 2022, defendant 3G Capital, Inc. (“3G Capital”) filed its motion to 

dismiss the Complaint (ECF No. 97), and sought to seal its supporting memorandum of law

because it relied on confidential documents produced by Kraft Heinz (ECF No. 103). On February 

1, 2022, the Court granted 3G Capital’s motion to seal the document (ECF No. 108). 

3. Also on January 21, 2022, Nominal Defendant Kraft Heinz and the Individual 

Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Complaint. ECF No. 104.

4. Lead Plaintiffs’ memoranda in opposition to defendants’ motions to dismiss rely 

on confidential documents produced by Kraft Heinz. For the same reasons supporting the sealing 

of the Complaint, these memoranda should be sealed. 

5. The public, redacted versions of the provisionally sealed documents are 

concurrently filed herewith. 

WHEREFORE, Lead Plaintiffs respectfully request that the Court grant this motion and 

enter an order granting them leave to file under seal Plaintiffs’ Memorandum of Law in Opposition 

to Nominal Defendant’s and the Individual Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss the Consolidated 

Verified Second Amended Stockholder Derivative Complaint and Plaintiffs’ Memorandum of 

Law in Opposition to Defendant 3G Capital’s Motion to Dismiss the Consolidated Verified Second 

Amended Stockholder Derivative Complaint, both dated March 22, 2022.

Dated: March 22, 2022
