&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Notes and the Trustee's Certificates of Authentication to be endorsed thereon are to be substantially in the form of Exhibit A, which form is hereby incorporated in and made a part of this Supplemental Indenture. Notwithstanding Section 303 of the Base Indenture, the Trustee may authenticate the Notes by manual or electronic signature.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Supplemental Indenture, and the Company, Kraft Heinz and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Principal, premium, if any, and/or interest, if any, on the global notes representing the Notes shall be made on the Business Day prior to the relevant payment date to the Paying Agent for the accounts of Euroclear and Clearstream. If the Paying Agent determines that the amount received by it is insufficient to make the relevant payment due in respect of the Notes, the Paying Agent shall not be obligated to pay the Holders of the Notes such payment until the Paying Agent has received such full amount.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes shall be payable in euros and not in any other currency and Section 311 of the Base Indenture shall not apply with respect to the Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the euro is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Company's control or if the euro is no longer used by the member states of the European Economic and Monetary Union that have adopted the euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the Notes will be made in U.S. dollars until the euro is again available to the Company or so used. In such circumstances, the amount payable on any date in euros will be converted into U.S. dollars at the rate mandated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as of the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date or, if the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System has not announced a rate of conversion, on the basis of the most recent U.S. dollar/euro exchange rate published in The Wall Street Journal on or prior to the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date or, in the event The Wall Street Journal has not published such exchange rate, the rate will be determined in the Company's sole discretion on the basis of the most recently available market exchange rate for euros. Any payment in respect of the Notes so made in U.S. dollars will not constitute an Event of Default.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The global notes representing the Notes shall be deposited with, or on behalf of, the Depositary and shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary. No global note may be transferred except as a whole by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or such nominee to a successor of the Depositary or a nominee of such successor.

<u>Section</u> <u>2.04.</u> Interest.

The 2031 Notes shall bear interest as provided in the form of Note attached hereto as <u>Exhibit</u> <u>A-1</u>. The 2034 Notes shall bear interest as provided in the form of Note attached hereto as Exhibit A-2.

<u>Section</u> <u>2.05.</u> Paying Agent, Security Registrar and Transfer Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) For so long as the Notes remain outstanding, the Company shall, to the extent reasonably practicable and permitted as a matter of law, ensure that there is a paying agent (the "<u>Paying Agent</u>") (or affiliate thereof) for the Notes in the United Kingdom or a member state of the European Union (if such state exists) that will not be obligated to withhold or deduct tax pursuant to U.S. law in the event definitive registered Notes are issued.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Company shall also maintain one or more security registrars (a "<u>Security Registrar</u>") and a transfer agent (the "<u>Transfer Agent</u>"). Any right, protection or indemnity provided to the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Security Registrar under the Indenture shall also be afforded to the Paying Agent, the Security Registrar and the Transfer Agent under this Supplemental Indenture. The Security Registrar and the Transfer Agent will maintain a register reflecting ownership of definitive registered Notes outstanding from time to time and will facilitate the transfer of definitive registered Notes on behalf of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Company may change the Paying Agent, the Security Registrar or the Transfer Agent without prior notice to the Holders of the Notes. Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas will be the initial Paying Agent, Security Registrar and Transfer Agent for the Notes. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent, Security Registrar or Transfer Agent in respect of the Notes.

**ARTICLE THREE** 

<u>REDEMPTION</u> 

<u>Section</u> <u>3.01.</u> Optional Redemption.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) At any time prior to the applicable Par Call Date, the Company shall have the option to redeem each series of Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price calculated by the Company and equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon that would be due if the Notes to be redeemed matured on the applicable Par Call Date (exclusive of interest accrued to the redemption date), determined by discounting to the redemption date, on an annual basis (ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA)), such principal and interest at the applicable Comparable Government Bond Rate plus 15 basis points, in the case of the 2031 Notes, and 20 basis points, in the case of the 2034 Notes; *plus*, in the case of each of (i) and (ii), accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) On or after the applicable Par Call Date, the Company shall have the option to redeem each series of Notes, in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date.

<u>Section</u> <u>3.02.</u> Selection and Notice of Redemption.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Notice of any redemption of Notes of a series will be mailed or electronically delivered (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the applicable procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream, as applicable) to each Holder of Notes of such series to be redeemed at least 10 days but not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. At the Company's option, a notice of redemption may be conditioned on the satisfaction of one or more conditions. If so conditioned, such a notice of redemption shall state that, in the Company's discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all of such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by the Company, in its discretion), or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all of such conditions have not been satisfied (or waived by the Company, in its discretion) by the redemption date, or the redemption date so delayed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In the case of a partial redemption of a series of Notes, selection of the Notes of such series for redemption will be made pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion deems appropriate and fair. No Notes of a principal amount of €100,000 or less will be redeemed in part. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to the Note will state the portion of the principal amount and the CUSIP and ISIN numbers of the Note to be redeemed. A new Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Note will be issued in the name of the Holder of the Note upon surrender for cancellation of the original Note. For so long as the Notes are held by Euroclear or Clearstream (or another depositary), the redemption of the Notes shall be done in accordance with the policies and procedures of the applicable depositary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the date fixed for redemption, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

CUSIP: 50077L BQ8

ISIN: XS3367254458

COMMON CODE: 336725445

Kraft Heinz Foods Company (formerly known as H. J. Heinz Company), a Pennsylvania limited liability company (hereinafter called the "<u>Company</u>" or the "<u>Issuer,</u>" which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay BT Globenet Nominees Limited (as nominee of the Depositary), or registered assigns, the principal sum of € on May 21, 2031 and to pay interest thereon from May 21, 2026 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, annually in arrears as described on the reverse hereof until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment.

The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, as described on the reverse hereof. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holders on such Regular Record Date and may be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee for the Notes, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Notes not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture.

(Reverse of Note)

KRAFT HEINZ FOODS COMPANY

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness (hereinafter called the "<u>Securities</u>") of the Company of the series hereinafter specified, which series is initially limited in aggregate principal amount to € (except as provided in the Indenture hereinafter mentioned), all such Securities issued and to be issued under an Indenture dated as of July 1, 2015 between the Company, as issuer, The Kraft Heinz Company (formerly known as H.J. Heinz Holding Corporation), as guarantor ("<u>Kraft Heinz</u>"), and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (as successor to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association), as Trustee (the "<u>Base Indenture</u>"), as supplemented by the Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 21, 2026 among the Company, Kraft Heinz, the Trustee, Paying Agent, Transfer Agent, and Security Registrar (the "<u>Supplemental Indenture</u>" and, together with the Base Indenture, herein called the "<u>Indenture</u>"), to which Indenture and all other indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the rights and limitations of rights thereunder of the Holders of the Securities and of the rights, obligations, duties and immunities of the Trustee for each series of Securities and of the Company, and the terms upon which the Securities are and are to be authenticated and delivered. As provided in the Indenture, the Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest, if any, at different rates, may be subject to different redemption provisions, if any, may be subject to different sinking, purchase or analogous funds, if any, may be subject to different covenants and Events of Default and may otherwise vary as in the Indenture provided or permitted. This Note is one of a series of the Securities designated therein as the 3.500% Senior Notes due 2031 (the "<u>Notes</u>").

The Notes will bear interest at 3.500% per annum. Interest on the Notes will be paid annually in arrears on May 21 of each year, beginning on May 21, 2027 (each, an "<u>Interest Payment Date</u>"). Interest on an Interest Payment Date will be paid to the Holders of the Notes in whose names the Notes are registered on the security register at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Interest Payment Date (the "<u>Regular Record Date</u>"). Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the period for which interest is being calculated and the actual number of days from and including the last date on which interest was paid on the Notes (or May 21, 2026 if no interest has been paid on the Notes), to, but excluding, the next scheduled Interest Payment Date. This payment convention is referred to as "ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA)" in the rulebook of the International Capital Markets Association.

If any Interest Payment Date, the maturity date or earlier date of redemption for the Notes falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required payment will be made on the next Business Day and no interest will accrue or otherwise accumulate on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, maturity date or date of redemption, as the case may be.

The Company may, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, issue additional notes having the same ranking and the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Notes, except for the issue price, issue date and, in some cases, the first payment of interest or interest accruing prior to the issue date of such additional notes. Any additional notes having such similar terms, together with the Notes, shall constitute a single series of notes under the Indenture. No additional notes may be issued if an Event of Default has occurred with respect to the Notes.

------

**Guarantee** 

Pursuant to Article Fourteen of the Base Indenture, the Company's obligations under the Indenture with respect to the Notes shall be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Kraft Heinz. Kraft Heinz shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from all obligations under the Indenture and the Guarantee without any action required on the part of the Trustee or any Holder pursuant to Section 1406 of the Base Indenture.

**Change of Control Triggering Event** 

If a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined below) occurs, unless the Company has previously or concurrently (i) delivered an unconditional (or conditional solely with respect to the consummation of the applicable Change of Control Triggering Event) redemption notice with respect to all the outstanding Notes as described in Section 3.01 of the Supplemental Indenture or (ii) sent a redemption notice with respect to all the outstanding Notes as described under "Redemption for Tax Reasons" below, Holders may require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to €100,000 or an integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof) of their Notes pursuant to an offer (a "<u>Change of Control Offer</u>") of payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes repurchased plus accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase (the "<u>Change of Control Payment</u>"). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, except to the extent the Company has exercised its right to redeem all the outstanding Notes as described in clause (i) or (ii) above pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Supplemental Indenture or under "Redemption for Tax Reasons" below, the Company will deliver a notice to each Holder of the Notes, electronically or by first class mail at the address of such Holder appearing in the security register or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase the Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is delivered (the "<u>Change of Control Payment Date</u>"), pursuant to the procedures required by the Indenture and described in such notice. The Company must comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "<u>Exchange Act</u>"), and any other securities laws, rules and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws, rules and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws, rules or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of the Notes, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws, rules and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Triggering Event provisions of the Notes by virtue of such conflicts.

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or
portions of Notes validly tendered; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an officer's
certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company.

The Paying Agent will promptly deliver to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the purchase price for the Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each such new note will be in a principal amount of €100,000 or an integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof.

The Company will not be required to make the Change of Control Offer with respect to the Notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if (1) a third party makes a Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to such Change of Control Offer or (2) a notice of redemption (as described above) of all outstanding Notes has, prior to or concurrently with such Change of Control Triggering Event, been given pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Supplemental Indenture or under "Redemption for Tax Reasons" below, unless and until there is a default in the payment of the redemption price on the applicable redemption date or the redemption is not consummated due to the failure of a condition precedent contained in the applicable redemption notice to be satisfied. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control Triggering Event, conditional upon such Change of Control Triggering Event, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control (as defined below) at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer.

Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in Section 902 of the Base Indenture, the provisions of this Note relating to the Company's obligation to make an offer to repurchase the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event may be waived or modified prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

For purposes of the foregoing discussion of a repurchase at the option of Holders, the following definitions are applicable:

"<u>Affiliate</u>" of any specified Person means any other Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with such specified Person. For the purposes of this definition, "<u>control</u>" when used with respect to any Person means the power to direct the management and policies of such Person, directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise; and the terms "<u>controlling</u>" and "<u>controlled</u>" have meanings correlative to the foregoing.

If any taxes imposed by the United States are required to be withheld or deducted in respect of any payment made under or with respect to the Notes or the Guarantee, the Company or Kraft Heinz will, subject to the exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay additional amounts ("<u>Additional Amounts</u>") as are necessary in order that the net amounts received in respect of such payments by each beneficial owner who is not a United States person after such withholding or deduction by any applicable withholding agent (including any withholding or deduction in respect of such Additional Amounts) will equal the amounts which would have been received in respect of such payments on any Note or the Guarantee in the absence of such withholding or deduction; *provided*, *however*, that the foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts shall not apply:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) to any tax to the extent such tax is imposed by reason of the Holder (or the beneficial owner for whose benefit such Holder holds such Note), or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or stockholder of the Holder if the Holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation, or a person holding a power over an estate or trust administered by a fiduciary holder, being considered as:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) being or having been engaged in a trade or business in the United States or having or having had a permanent establishment in the United States;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) being or having been a personal holding company, a passive foreign investment company or a controlled foreign corporation for United States federal income tax purposes or a corporation that has accumulated earnings to avoid United States federal income tax;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) being or having been a "10-percent shareholder" of the Guarantor or the Company as defined in section 871(h)(3) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "<u>Code</u>"); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) to any Holder that is not the sole beneficial owner of the Notes or that is a fiduciary, partnership or limited liability company, but only to the extent that a beneficial owner with respect to the Holder, a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, or a beneficial owner or member of the partnership or limited liability company would not have been entitled to the payment of an additional amount had the beneficiary, settlor, beneficial owner or member received directly its beneficial or distributive share of the payment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) to any tax to the extent such tax would not have been imposed but for the failure of the Holder or the beneficial owner to comply with certification, identification or other information reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the United States of the holder or beneficial owner of the Notes, if compliance is required by statute, by regulation of the United States or any taxing authority therein or by an applicable income tax treaty to which the United States is a party as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction of, such tax, but only to the extent that the Holder or beneficial owner is legally eligible to provide such certification or other evidence;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) to any tax that is imposed otherwise than by withholding or deduction in respect of a payment on the Notes or the Guarantee;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) to any withholding or deduction that is imposed on a payment to a holder or beneficial owner and that is required to be made pursuant to any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, any European Union Directive on the taxation of savings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) to any tax to the extent such tax would not have been imposed or levied but for the presentation by the holder or beneficial owner of any Note, where presentation is required, for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) to any tax to the extent such tax is imposed or withheld solely by reason of the beneficial owner being a bank (1) purchasing the Notes in the ordinary course of its lending business or (2) that is neither (A) buying the Notes for investment purposes only nor (B) buying the Notes for resale to a third-party that either is not a bank or holding the Notes for investment purposes only;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) to any tax imposed under sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code as of the issue date (or any amended or successor provision that is substantively comparable and not materially more onerous to comply with), any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to current section 1471(b) of the Code (or any amended or successor version described above) or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement (or related laws or official administrative practices) implementing the foregoing; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) in the case of any combination of clauses (a) through (j) above.

The Notes are subject in all cases to any tax, fiscal or other law or regulation or administrative or judicial interpretation applicable to the Notes. Except as specifically provided under this heading, the Company (or Kraft Heinz, if applicable) will not be required to make any payment for any tax imposed by any government or a political subdivision or taxing authority of or in any government or political subdivision.

The Company or Kraft Heinz will use reasonable efforts to obtain certified copies of tax receipts evidencing the payment of any taxes so deducted or withheld, or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, and will provide such copies or other evidence to the Trustee.

The foregoing obligations will survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of the indenture and will apply *mutatis mutandis* to any successor to the Company or Kraft Heinz.

For purposes of the foregoing, "United States person" means any individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States for United States federal income tax purposes, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia, an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source, or a trust, if (a) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary jurisdiction over its administration and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all of its substantial decisions or (b) it has a valid election in place under applicable United States Treasury regulations to be treated as a domestic trust.

------

**Redemption for Tax Reasons** 

Section 1108 of the Base Indenture shall be replaced in its entirety with the following:

If, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated under the laws) of the United States, or any change in, or amendments to, an official position regarding the application, interpretation, administration or enforcement of such laws, regulations or rulings (including by virtue of any action taken by a taxing authority, a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction (whether or not such action was taken or brought with respect to the Company), or a change in published administrative practice), which change or amendment is announced and becomes effective after May 7, 2026, the Company or Kraft Heinz becomes or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts as described under "Payment of Additional Amounts Above" with respect to the Notes, then the Company may, at any time at its option, redeem, in whole, but not in part, the Notes on not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior notice to the Holders of the Notes, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest (if any) on the Notes being redeemed to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption (subject to the rights of Holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date and Additional Amounts, if any, in respect thereof) and all Additional Amounts, if any, then due and which will become due on the date fixed for redemption as a result of the redemption or otherwise. Prior to any such notice of redemption, the Company or Kraft Heinz will deliver to the Trustee (a) an Officer's Certificate stating that it is entitled to effect such redemption, and (b) a written Opinion of Counsel selected by the Company to the effect that the Company has been or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts.

The Trustee and Paying Agent will accept and will be entitled to conclusively rely upon such Officer's Certificate and Opinion of Counsel as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent described above for the Company or Kraft Heinz to exercise its right to redeem the Notes, which determination will be conclusive and binding on the Holders.

**Optional Redemption** 

The Notes are subject to redemption at the option of the Company pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Supplemental Indenture.

**Defeasance; Satisfaction and Discharge** 

The Indenture contains provisions for discharge or defeasance at any time of the entire principal of all the Securities of any series upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth therein.

The Company's obligations under the Indenture with respect to Notes may be terminated if the Company irrevocably deposits with the Trustee money or Government Obligations sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Indenture.

------

**Events of Default** 

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Section 501(4) or 501(5) of the Base Indenture) with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, then either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Notes of this series then Outstanding may declare the entire principal amount of the Notes of this series due and payable in the manner and with effect provided in the Indenture. If an Event of Default specified in Section 501(4) or 501(5) of the Base Indenture occurs with respect to the Company or Kraft Heinz, all of the unpaid principal amount and accrued interest then outstanding shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture without any declaration or other act by the Trustee or any Holder.

**Amendments & Waiver** 

Without notice to or the consent of the Holders of the Notes, the Indenture and the Notes may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified by the Company, the Guarantors, as applicable, and the Trustee as provided in the Indenture. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities under the Indenture at any time by the Company with the consent of the Holders of more than 50% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series issued under the Indenture to be affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of that series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences with respect to such series. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

**Payment** 

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein and in the Indenture prescribed.

**Transfer, Registration and Exchange** 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Note is transferable on the Security Register of the Company, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company to be maintained for that purpose, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon due or one or more new notes, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

------

The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of €100,000 and any multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of a like tenor and of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Company, the Trustee for the Notes and any agent of the Company or such Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as herein provided and for all other purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company, such Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

COMMON CODE: 336725453

Kraft Heinz Foods Company (formerly known as H. J. Heinz Company), a Pennsylvania limited liability company (hereinafter called the "<u>Company</u>" or the "<u>Issuer,</u>" which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay BT Globenet Nominees Limited (as nominee of the Depositary), or registered assigns, the principal sum of € on May 21, 2034 and to pay interest thereon from May 21, 2026 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, annually in arrears as described on the reverse hereof until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment.

(Reverse of Note)

KRAFT HEINZ FOODS COMPANY

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness (hereinafter called the "<u>Securities</u>") of the Company of the series hereinafter specified, which series is initially limited in aggregate principal amount to € (except as provided in the Indenture hereinafter mentioned), all such Securities issued and to be issued under an Indenture dated as of July 1, 2015 between the Company, as issuer, The Kraft Heinz Company (formerly known as H.J. Heinz Holding Corporation), as guarantor ("<u>Kraft Heinz</u>"), and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (as successor to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association), as Trustee (the "<u>Base Indenture</u>"), as supplemented by the Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 21, 2026 among the Company, Kraft Heinz, the Trustee, Paying Agent, Transfer Agent, and Security Registrar (the "<u>Supplemental Indenture</u>" and, together with the Base Indenture, herein called the "<u>Indenture</u>"), to which Indenture and all other indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the rights and limitations of rights thereunder of the Holders of the Securities and of the rights, obligations, duties and immunities of the Trustee for each series of Securities and of the Company, and the terms upon which the Securities are and are to be authenticated and delivered. As provided in the Indenture, the Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest, if any, at different rates, may be subject to different redemption provisions, if any, may be subject to different sinking, purchase or analogous funds, if any, may be subject to different covenants and Events of Default and may otherwise vary as in the Indenture provided or permitted. This Note is one of a series of the Securities designated therein as the 3.950% Senior Notes due 2034 (the "<u>Notes</u>").

The Notes will bear interest at 3.950% per annum. Interest on the Notes will be paid annually in arrears on May 21 of each year, beginning on May 21, 2027 (each, an "<u>Interest Payment Date</u>"). Interest on an Interest Payment Date will be paid to the Holders of the Notes in whose names the Notes are registered on the security register at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Interest Payment Date (the "<u>Regular Record Date</u>"). Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the period for which interest is being calculated and the actual number of days from and including the last date on which interest was paid on the Notes (or May 21, 2026 if no interest has been paid on the Notes), to, but excluding, the next scheduled Interest Payment Date. This payment convention is referred to as "ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA)" in the rulebook of the International Capital Markets Association.

If any Interest Payment Date, the maturity date or earlier date of redemption for the Notes falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required payment will be made on the next Business Day and no interest will accrue or otherwise accumulate on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, maturity date or date of redemption, as the case may be.

The Company may, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, issue additional notes having the same ranking and the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Notes, except for the issue price, issue date and, in some cases, the first payment of interest or interest accruing prior to the issue date of such additional notes. Any additional notes having such similar terms, together with the Notes, shall constitute a single series of notes under the Indenture. No additional notes may be issued if an Event of Default has occurred with respect to the Notes.

------

**Guarantee** 

Pursuant to Article Fourteen of the Base Indenture, the Company's obligations under the Indenture with respect to the Notes shall be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Kraft Heinz. Kraft Heinz shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from all obligations under the Indenture and the Guarantee without any action required on the part of the Trustee or any Holder pursuant to Section 1406 of the Base Indenture.

**Change of Control Triggering Event** 

If a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined below) occurs, unless the Company has previously or concurrently (i) delivered an unconditional (or conditional solely with respect to the consummation of the applicable Change of Control Triggering Event) redemption notice with respect to all the outstanding Notes as described in Section 3.01 of the Supplemental Indenture or (ii) sent a redemption notice with respect to all the outstanding Notes as described under "Redemption for Tax Reasons" below, Holders may require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to €100,000 or an integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof) of their Notes pursuant to an offer (a "<u>Change of Control Offer</u>") of payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes repurchased plus accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase (the "<u>Change of Control Payment</u>"). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, except to the extent the Company has exercised its right to redeem all the outstanding Notes as described in clause (i) or (ii) above pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Supplemental Indenture or under "Redemption for Tax Reasons" below, the Company will deliver a notice to each Holder of the Notes, electronically or by first class mail at the address of such Holder appearing in the security register or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase the Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is delivered (the "<u>Change of Control Payment Date</u>"), pursuant to the procedures required by the Indenture and described in such notice. The Company must comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "<u>Exchange Act</u>"), and any other securities laws, rules and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws, rules and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws, rules or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of the Notes, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws, rules and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Triggering Event provisions of the Notes by virtue of such conflicts.

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or
portions of Notes validly tendered; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an officer's
certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company.

The Paying Agent will promptly deliver to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the purchase price for the Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each such new note will be in a principal amount of €100,000 or an integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof.

The Company will not be required to make the Change of Control Offer with respect to the Notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if (1) a third party makes a Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to such Change of Control Offer or (2) a notice of redemption (as described above) of all outstanding Notes has, prior to or concurrently with such Change of Control Triggering Event, been given pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Supplemental Indenture or under "Redemption for Tax Reasons" below, unless and until there is a default in the payment of the redemption price on the applicable redemption date or the redemption is not consummated due to the failure of a condition precedent contained in the applicable redemption notice to be satisfied. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control Triggering Event, conditional upon such Change of Control Triggering Event, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control (as defined below) at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer.

Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in Section 902 of the Base Indenture, the provisions of this Note relating to the Company's obligation to make an offer to repurchase the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event may be waived or modified prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

**Payment of Additional Amounts** 

Section 1010 of the Base Indenture shall be replaced in its entirety with the following:

All payments by the Company or Kraft Heinz on the Notes or the Guarantee will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charges and any penalties, interest or additions to tax with respect thereto (each a "<u>tax</u>") imposed by the United States, unless the withholding or deduction of such taxes is required by law or the official interpretation or administration thereof.

If any taxes imposed by the United States are required to be withheld or deducted in respect of any payment made under or with respect to the Notes or the Guarantee, the Company or Kraft Heinz will, subject to the exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay additional amounts ("<u>Additional Amounts</u>") as are necessary in order that the net amounts received in respect of such payments by each beneficial owner who is not a United States person after such withholding or deduction by any applicable withholding agent (including any withholding or deduction in respect of such Additional Amounts) will equal the amounts which would have been received in respect of such payments on any Note or the Guarantee in the absence of such withholding or deduction; *provided*, *however*, that the foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts shall not apply:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) to any tax to the extent such tax is imposed by reason of the Holder (or the beneficial owner for whose benefit such Holder holds such Note), or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or stockholder of the Holder if the Holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation, or a person holding a power over an estate or trust administered by a fiduciary holder, being considered as:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) being or having been engaged in a trade or business in the United States or having or having had a permanent establishment in the United States;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) having or having had any other connection with the United States (other than a connection arising solely as a result of the ownership of the Notes, the receipt of any payment or the enforcement of any rights under the Notes or the Guarantee), including being or having been a citizen or resident of the United States;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) being or having been a personal holding company, a passive foreign investment company or a controlled foreign corporation for United States federal income tax purposes or a corporation that has accumulated earnings to avoid United States federal income tax;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) to any Holder that is not the sole beneficial owner of the Notes or that is a fiduciary, partnership or limited liability company, but only to the extent that a beneficial owner with respect to the Holder, a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, or a beneficial owner or member of the partnership or limited liability company would not have been entitled to the payment of an additional amount had the beneficiary, settlor, beneficial owner or member received directly its beneficial or distributive share of the payment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) to any tax to the extent such tax would not have been imposed but for the failure of the Holder or the beneficial owner to comply with certification, identification or other information reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the United States of the holder or beneficial owner of the Notes, if compliance is required by statute, by regulation of the United States or any taxing authority therein or by an applicable income tax treaty to which the United States is a party as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction of, such tax, but only to the extent that the Holder or beneficial owner is legally eligible to provide such certification or other evidence;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) to any tax to the extent such tax would not have been imposed or levied but for the presentation by the holder or beneficial owner of any Note, where presentation is required, for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) to any tax to the extent such tax is imposed or withheld solely by reason of the beneficial owner being a bank (1) purchasing the Notes in the ordinary course of its lending business or (2) that is neither (A) buying the Notes for investment purposes only nor (B) buying the Notes for resale to a third-party that either is not a bank or holding the Notes for investment purposes only;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) to any tax imposed under sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code as of the issue date (or any amended or successor provision that is substantively comparable and not materially more onerous to comply with), any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to current section 1471(b) of the Code (or any amended or successor version described above) or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement (or related laws or official administrative practices) implementing the foregoing; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) in the case of any combination of clauses (a) through (j) above.

The Notes are subject in all cases to any tax, fiscal or other law or regulation or administrative or judicial interpretation applicable to the Notes. Except as specifically provided under this heading, the Company (or Kraft Heinz, if applicable) will not be required to make any payment for any tax imposed by any government or a political subdivision or taxing authority of or in any government or political subdivision.

The Company or Kraft Heinz will use reasonable efforts to obtain certified copies of tax receipts evidencing the payment of any taxes so deducted or withheld, or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, and will provide such copies or other evidence to the Trustee.

The foregoing obligations will survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of the indenture and will apply *mutatis mutandis* to any successor to the Company or Kraft Heinz.

For purposes of the foregoing, "United States person" means any individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States for United States federal income tax purposes, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia, an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source, or a trust, if (a) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary jurisdiction over its administration and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all of its substantial decisions or (b) it has a valid election in place under applicable United States Treasury regulations to be treated as a domestic trust.

------

**Redemption for Tax Reasons** 

Section 1108 of the Base Indenture shall be replaced in its entirety with the following:

If, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated under the laws) of the United States, or any change in, or amendments to, an official position regarding the application, interpretation, administration or enforcement of such laws, regulations or rulings (including by virtue of any action taken by a taxing authority, a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction (whether or not such action was taken or brought with respect to the Company), or a change in published administrative practice), which change or amendment is announced and becomes effective after May 7, 2026, the Company or Kraft Heinz becomes or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts as described under "Payment of Additional Amounts Above" with respect to the Notes, then the Company may, at any time at its option, redeem, in whole, but not in part, the Notes on not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior notice to the Holders of the Notes, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest (if any) on the Notes being redeemed to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption (subject to the rights of Holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date and Additional Amounts, if any, in respect thereof) and all Additional Amounts, if any, then due and which will become due on the date fixed for redemption as a result of the redemption or otherwise. Prior to any such notice of redemption, the Company or Kraft Heinz will deliver to the Trustee (a) an Officer's Certificate stating that it is entitled to effect such redemption, and (b) a written Opinion of Counsel selected by the Company to the effect that the Company has been or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts.

The Trustee and Paying Agent will accept and will be entitled to conclusively rely upon such Officer's Certificate and Opinion of Counsel as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent described above for the Company or Kraft Heinz to exercise its right to redeem the Notes, which determination will be conclusive and binding on the Holders.

**Optional Redemption** 

The Notes are subject to redemption at the option of the Company pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Supplemental Indenture.

**Defeasance; Satisfaction and Discharge** 

The Indenture contains provisions for discharge or defeasance at any time of the entire principal of all the Securities of any series upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth therein.

The Company's obligations under the Indenture with respect to Notes may be terminated if the Company irrevocably deposits with the Trustee money or Government Obligations sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Indenture.

------

**Events of Default** 

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Section 501(4) or 501(5) of the Base Indenture) with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, then either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Notes of this series then Outstanding may declare the entire principal amount of the Notes of this series due and payable in the manner and with effect provided in the Indenture. If an Event of Default specified in Section 501(4) or 501(5) of the Base Indenture occurs with respect to the Company or Kraft Heinz, all of the unpaid principal amount and accrued interest then outstanding shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture without any declaration or other act by the Trustee or any Holder.

**Amendments & Waiver** 

Without notice to or the consent of the Holders of the Notes, the Indenture and the Notes may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified by the Company, the Guarantors, as applicable, and the Trustee as provided in the Indenture. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities under the Indenture at any time by the Company with the consent of the Holders of more than 50% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series issued under the Indenture to be affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of that series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences with respect to such series. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

**Payment** 

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein and in the Indenture prescribed.

**Transfer, Registration and Exchange** 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Note is transferable on the Security Register of the Company, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company to be maintained for that purpose, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon due or one or more new notes, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

------

The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of €100,000 and any multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of a like tenor and of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Company, the Trustee for the Notes and any agent of the Company or such Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as herein provided and for all other purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company, such Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-284906)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Kraft Heinz Foods Company, a Pennsylvania limited liability company (the "<u>Company</u>") and The Kraft Heinz Company, a Delaware corporation (the "<u>Guarantor</u>") in connection with the preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "<u>Commission</u>") of a Registration Statement on Form S-3, file no. 333-284906, as amended (the "<u>Registration Statement</u>"), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "<u>Securities Act</u>"), the prospectus included therein, the prospectus supplement, dated May 7, 2026, filed with the Commission on May 7, 2026 pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act (the "<u>Prospectus Supplement</u>"), and the offering by the Company pursuant thereto of €500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company's 3.500% Senior Notes due 2031 (the "<u>2031 Notes</u>") and €500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company's 3.950% Senior Notes due 2034 (the "<u>2034 Notes</u>" and, together with the 2031 Notes, the "<u>Notes</u>").

The Notes have been issued pursuant to the Indenture dated as of July 1, 2015 (as supplemented, the "<u>Base Indenture</u>"), between the Company, the Guarantor and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (as successor to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association), as trustee (the "<u>Trustee</u>"), as modified in respect of the Notes by the Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture, to be dated May 21, 2026 (the "<u>Supplemental Indenture</u>" and together with the Base Indenture, the "<u>Indenture</u>") between the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee, and are guaranteed pursuant to the terms of the Indenture and the notation endorsed on the Notes by the Guarantor (the "<u>Guarantee</u>"). The Notes have been offered pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement dated as of May 7, 2026 among the Company, the Guarantor and the Underwriters named therein.

In arriving at the opinions expressed below, we have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction as being true and complete copies of the originals, of the Base Indenture, the Supplemental Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantee and such other documents, corporate records, certificates of officers of the Company and the Guarantor and of public officials and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable to enable us to render these opinions.

original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies. To the extent that our opinions may be dependent upon such matters, we have assumed, without independent investigation, that the Company is validly existing under the laws of Pennsylvania, has all requisite limited liability company power to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Notes; that the execution and delivery of the Notes by the Company and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company action and do not violate any law, regulation, order, judgment or decree applicable to each such party; and that such documents have been duly executed and delivered by each such party. As to any facts material to these opinions, we have relied to the extent we deemed appropriate and without independent investigation upon statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company, the Guarantor and others.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, exceptions, qualifications and limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. The Notes are legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. The Guarantee of the Notes is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor obligated thereon, enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with its terms.

The opinions expressed above are subject to the following additional exceptions, qualifications, limitations and assumptions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. We render no opinion herein as to matters involving the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York and the United States of America and, for purposes of paragraph 2 above, the Delaware General Corporation Law. We are not admitted to practice in the State of Delaware; however, we are generally familiar with the Delaware General Corporation Law as currently in effect and have made such inquiries as we consider necessary to render the opinions contained in paragraph 2 above. This opinion is limited to the effect of the current state of the laws of the State of New York, the United States of America and, to the limited extent set forth above, the Delaware General Corporation Law and the facts as they currently exist. We assume no obligation to revise or supplement this opinion in the event of future changes in such laws or the interpretations thereof or such facts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. The opinions above are each subject to (i) the effect of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, arrangement or similar laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally, including without limitation the effect of statutory or other laws regarding fraudulent transfers or preferential transfer, and (ii) general principles of equity, including without limitation concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing and the possible unavailability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

**Kraft Heinz Announces Early Tender Participation Results, Satisfaction of the Financing** 

**Condition, and Election of Early Settlement for Its Previously Announced Cash Tender Offer** 

**PITTSBURGH & CHICAGO – May 21, 2026 –** The Kraft Heinz Company ("**Kraft Heinz**") (Nasdaq: KHC) announced today the early tender results, as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 20, 2026 (the "**Early Tender Time**"), and the satisfaction of the condition to receive proceeds of an offering of new senior unsecured notes on terms satisfactory to the Issuer (the "**Financing Condition**"), in each case in respect of the previously announced offer by Kraft Heinz Foods Company, its 100% owned subsidiary (the "**Issuer**"), to purchase for cash (the "**Tender Offer**") up to the maximum combined aggregate purchase price of $1,100,000,000, excluding accrued and unpaid interest (the "**Maximum Tender Amount**"), of its outstanding 4.375% Senior Notes due June 2046 (the "**2046 Notes**") and its 4.875% Senior Notes due October 2049 (the "**2049 Notes**" and, together with the 2046 Notes, the "**Notes**" and each, a "**Series**" of Notes), from each registered holder of the Notes (the "**Holders**"), pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the offer to purchase dated May 7, 2026 (the "**Offer to Purchase**"). Capitalized terms used in this release but not otherwise defined have the meaning given in the Offer to Purchase.

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the Notes and the Tender Offer, including the aggregate principal amount of Notes that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of the Early Tender Time according to Global Bondholder Services Corporation, the Tender Agent and Information Agent for the Tender Offer:

|  50077L AZ9 / US50077LAZ94<br>(144A): 50077L AY2 / US50077LAY20<br>(Reg S): U5009LAZ3 / USU5009LAZ32 | 4.875% Senior Notes due October 2049 | 2 | $1450000000 | $822568000 |

---

Kraft Heinz also announced that, with respect to the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Time, the Issuer has elected to have an early settlement date with payment for such Notes to occur on May 26, 2026.

The deadline to withdraw Notes tendered in the Tender Offer was 5:00 p.m. New York City time, on May 20, 2026, which deadline has not been extended (such date and time, the "**Withdrawal Date**"). Accordingly, Notes tendered at or prior to the Withdrawal Date may no longer be withdrawn, except in certain limited circumstances where the Issuer determines that additional withdrawal rights are required by law. Subject to applicable law, the Issuer has reserved the right, in its sole discretion, to at any time (i) waive any and all conditions to the Tender Offer, (ii) extend, terminate, or withdraw the Tender Offer, (iii) increase or waive the Maximum Tender Amount, with or without extending the Withdrawal Date, or (iv) otherwise amend the Tender Offer in any respect.

The applicable Total Consideration for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase will be determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase by reference to the Fixed Spread for the applicable Series specified on the front cover of the Offer to Purchase over the applicable Reference Yield based on the bid-side price of the applicable Reference Treasury Security specified on the front cover of the Offer to Purchase, as calculated by the Dealer Managers (as defined below) at 10:00 a.m. New York City time, on May 21, 2026 (such time and date, the "**Price Determination Date**").

------

Because the maximum combined aggregate purchase price, excluding accrued and unpaid interest, of the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Time is expected to exceed the Maximum Tender Amount, Kraft Heinz expects to accept for purchase Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in accordance with the Acceptance Priority Levels set forth in the table above. If the aggregate purchase price, excluding accrued and unpaid interest, of the Notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Time is greater than the Maximum Tender Amount, the Notes of the Series, the acceptance of which would result in the Maximum Tender Amount being exceeded, will be accepted for purchase on a prorated basis in accordance with the terms set forth in the Offer to Purchase. The Issuer will not accept for purchase any Notes tendered after the Early Tender Time. Notes tendered and not accepted for purchase will be promptly returned or credited to the applicable Holder's account.

The Tender Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 5, 2026, unless extended with respect to a Series of Notes (such time and date, as they may be extended, the "**Expiration Time**") or earlier terminated as described in the Offer to Purchase.

Kraft Heinz has engaged BofA Securities, Inc. ("**BofA Securities**"), Citigroup Global Markets Inc. ("**Citigroup**"), Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. ("**Deutsche Bank Securities**") and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC ("**Goldman Sachs**") to act as dealer managers (collectively, the "**Dealer Managers**") in connection with the Tender Offer and has appointed Global Bondholder Services Corporation to serve as the Tender Agent and Information Agent for the Tender Offer. Copies of the Offer to Purchase are available at https://www.gbsc-usa.com/kraftheinzcompany/ or by contacting Global Bondholder Services Corporation via telephone at (855) 654-2015 (toll free) or (212) 430-3774 (for banks and brokers). Questions regarding the terms of the Tender Offer should be directed to BofA Securities at (888) 292-0070 (toll-free) or (980) 387-3907 (collect); Citigroup at (800) 558-3745 (toll-free) or (212) 723-6106 (collect); Deutsche Bank Securities at (866) 627-0391 (toll-free) or (212) 250-2955 (collect); or Goldman Sachs at (800) 828-3182 (toll-free) or (212) 357-1452 (collect).

None of the Issuer, Kraft Heinz, their boards of directors or boards of managers, as applicable, the Dealer Managers, Global Bondholder Services Corporation, the Trustee for the Notes, or any of their respective affiliates, is making any recommendation as to whether Holders should tender any Notes in response to the Tender Offer. Holders must make their own decision as to whether to tender any of their Notes and, if so, the principal amounts of Notes to tender.

This press release is for informational purposes only and is not an offer to purchase, a solicitation of an offer to purchase, or a solicitation of consents with respect to any securities. This press release does not describe all the material terms of the Tender Offer, and no decision should be made by any Holder on the basis of this press release. The terms and conditions of the Tender Offer are described in the Offer to Purchase, and this press release must be read in conjunction with the Offer to Purchase. The Offer to Purchase contains important information that should be read carefully before any decision is made with respect to the Tender Offer. The Tender Offer is not being made in any jurisdiction in which, or to or from any person to or from whom, it is unlawful to make such offer or solicitation under applicable securities or blue sky laws. If any Holder is in any doubt as to the contents of this press release, or the Offer to Purchase, or the action it should take, the Holder should seek its own financial and legal advice, including in respect of any tax consequences, immediately from its stockbroker, bank manager, solicitor, accountant, or other independent financial, tax, or legal adviser. Any individual or company whose Notes are held on its behalf by a broker, dealer, bank, custodian, trust company, or other nominee must contact such entity if it wishes to tender such Notes pursuant to the Tender Offer.

(1) The Total Consideration for each Series validly tendered prior to or at the applicable Early Tender Time (as
defined below) and accepted for purchase is calculated using the applicable Fixed Spread (as defined below) and is inclusive of the applicable Early Tender Premium (as defined below).

(2) Per $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender
Time and accepted for purchase (the "**Early Tender Premium** ").

Because the maximum combined aggregate purchase price, excluding accrued and unpaid interest, of the 2046 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 20, 2026 (the "**Early Tender Time**"), exceeded the Maximum Tender Amount, the Issuer accepts for purchase $1,379,414,000 in aggregate principal amount of the 2046 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Time (representing approximately 49.51% of the aggregate principal amount of 2046 Notes outstanding), using a proration factor of approximately 78.77% in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, so that the maximum principal amount of the 2046 Notes accepted for purchase does not result in the maximum combined aggregate purchase price (excluding accrued and unpaid interest) exceeding the Maximum Tender Amount. The Issuer will not accept for purchase any of the 2049 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Time, or any Notes tendered after the Early Tender Time. Notes tendered and not accepted for purchase will be promptly returned or credited to the applicable Holder's account.
