The Kraft Heinz Company (“Kraft Heinz”) (Nasdaq: KHC) announced today that Kraft Heinz Foods Company, its 100% owned subsidiary (the “Issuer”), has commenced an offer 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 and its 4.875% Senior Notes due October 2049 (collectively, the “Notes” and, each, a “Series” of Notes), from each registered holder of the Notes (the “Holders”). Subject to the Maximum Tender Amount, the amount of a Series of Notes that is purchased in the Tender Offer will be based on the Acceptance Priority Levels set forth in the table below. The Tender Offer is being made on 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.

Consummation of the Tender Offer and payment for the Notes accepted for purchase are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions described in the Offer to Purchase, including among other things, the receipt of proceeds upon settlement of an offering of new senior unsecured notes on terms satisfactory to the Issuer (the “Financing Condition”). 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, including the satisfaction of Financing Condition, (ii) extend, terminate, or withdraw the Tender Offer, (iii) increase or waive the Maximum Tender Amount, with or without extending the Withdrawal Date (as defined below), or (iv) otherwise amend the Tender Offer in any respect.

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. Notes tendered at or prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time, on May 20, 2026 (such date and time, as the same may be extended, the “Withdrawal Date”) may be validly withdrawn at any time at or prior to the Withdrawal Date, but not thereafter, except in certain limited circumstances where the Issuer determines that additional withdrawal rights are required by law. Holders are urged to read the Offer to Purchase carefully before making any decision with respect to the Tender Offer.

Holders who validly tender and do not validly withdraw their Notes at or prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time, on May 20, 2026, unless extended with respect to any Series of Notes (such date and time, as the same may be extended, the “Early Tender Time”) or earlier terminated by the Issuer, will be eligible to receive the applicable Total Consideration, which includes the applicable Early Tender Premium as set forth in the table above. 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 (subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, such time and date, as the same may be extended the “Price Determination Date”). Holders who validly tender their Notes after the Early Tender Time and at or prior to the Expiration Time will be entitled to receive only the applicable Tender Offer Consideration, which is equal to the applicable Total Consideration minus the applicable Early Tender Premium.

For Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Time, and not subsequently validly withdrawn and that are accepted for purchase, the Issuer has the option for settlement to occur on the Early Settlement Date, which is expected to be May 26, 2026, the third business day after the Early Tender Time. In the event the Issuer chooses to have an Early Settlement Date, settlement for Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Time, but at or prior to the Expiration Time, is expected to occur on June 9, 2026, the second business day following the Expiration Time, unless extended.

In addition to the Total Consideration or the Tender Offer Consideration, as applicable, all Notes accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer will on the Early Settlement Date or the Final Settlement Date, as applicable, also receive accrued and unpaid interest in respect of such Notes from the most recent applicable interest payment date to, but excluding, the applicable Settlement Date.

Subject to the Maximum Tender Amount, the application of the Acceptance Priority Levels, and the other terms and conditions described in the Offer to Purchase, including the Financing Condition, the Issuer intends to accept for purchase all Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Expiration Time. However, if the Tender Offer is fully subscribed as of the Early Tender Time, Holders who validly tender their Notes after the Early Tender Time but at or prior to the Expiration Time will not have any of their Notes accepted for purchase. Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Time will be accepted for purchase in priority to the Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Time and at or prior to the Expiration Time, even if such Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Time and at or prior to the Expiration Time have a higher Acceptance Priority Level than the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Time. As a result, each Holder who validly tenders Notes pursuant to the Tender Offer may have a portion of its Notes returned to it, and the amount of Notes returned will depend on the level of participation of Holders in the Tender Offer. The Tender Offer may be subject to proration if the aggregate purchase price (excluding accrued and unpaid interest) of the Notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn is greater than the Maximum Tender Amount. The Issuer reserves the right, subject to applicable law, but is under no obligation, to increase or waive the Maximum Tender Amount, in its sole discretion, with or without extending the Withdrawal Date. No assurance can be given that the Issuer will increase or waive the Maximum Tender Amount.

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.
