Important Information
This presentation includes forward-looking statements, including statements about our future financial and
operating
performance
and
results,
competitive
advantages
of
our
products,
progress
on
brand
growth
strategies, impact of walnut supply, trends in promotional spend, estimated cost savings from optimizing
cost
structure
and
possible
restructuring
of
our
balance
sheet.
These
forward-looking
statements
are
based
on our assumptions, expectations and projections about future events only as of the date of this presentation,
and
we
make
such
forward-looking
statements
pursuant
to
the
“safe
harbor”
provisions
of
the
Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Many of our forward-looking statements include discussions of
trends
and
anticipated
developments
under
the
“Risk
Factors”
and
“Management’s
Discussion
and
Analysis
of
Financial
Condition
and
Results
of
Operations”
sections
of
the
periodic
reports
that
we
file
with
the
SEC.
We
use
the
words
“anticipate,”
“believe,”
“estimate,”
“expect,”
“intend,”
“plan,”
“seek,”
“may”
and
other
similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements that discuss our future expectations, contain
projections
of
our

of
operations
or
financial
condition
or
state
other
“forward-looking”
information.
You also should carefully consider other cautionary statements elsewhere in this presentation and in other

looking
statements
to
reflect
events
or
circumstances
occurring
after
the
date
of
this
presentation.
Actual
results may differ materially from what we currently expect because of many risks and uncertainties, such
as:
risks
relating
to
our
leverage
and
its
effect
on
our
ability
to
respond
to
changes
in
our
business,
markets
and
industry;
increase
in
the
cost
of
our
debt;
ability
to
raise
additional
capital
and
possible
dilutive
impact
of raising such capital; risks relating to litigation and regulatory proceedings; uncertainties relating to
relations with growers; availability and cost of walnuts and other raw materials; increasing competition and
possible
loss
of
key
customers;
and
general
economic
and
capital
markets
conditions.
