On October 25, 2013, Blue Acquisition Group, Inc. (“Parent”) elected Wayne Callahan to the Board of Directors of Del Monte Corporation (“Company”), effective November 1, 2013. Such election was made following the designation of Mr. Callahan by Vestar Capital Partners (“Vestar”) as a member of the board of managers of Blue Holdings GP, LLC and the election of Mr. Callahan by Blue Holdings I, L.P. to the board of directors of Parent.

Pursuant to an amended and restated limited liability company agreement (the “LLC Agreement”) among the members of Blue Holdings GP, LLC, affiliates of each of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P and Vestar have the right to designate three managers of Blue Holdings GP, LLC; affiliates of Centerview Capital, L.P. have the right to designate two managers of Blue Holdings GP, LLC; and affiliates of AlpInvest Partners have the right to designate one manager of Blue Holdings GP, LLC. The LLC Agreement further provides that the members of Blue Holdings GP, LLC will seek to ensure, to the extent permitted by law, that each of the managers of Blue Holdings GP, LLC also is a member of the board of directors of Parent. The membership of the Board of Directors of the Company tracks the membership of the board of directors of Parent.

Wayne Callahan was most recently President of Global Walmart Business of H. J. Heinz where he led high-performing teams serving Walmart worldwide. Mr. Callahan’s focus was organizational design, business planning, team development, and overall growth. As a member of the Heinz President Council and Heinz Global Sales Council, he led customer business planning and best practice sharing for the largest global retail customers. Additionally, he was a Director of Heinz’ joint venture board in South Africa. He serves on the boards of the Sun Products Company, Arvest Bank Benton County and Delta Dental Insurance of Arkansas.

Eligibility is determined by the Board of Directors of the Company. In connection with the adoption of the plan, Sanjay Khosla and Wayne Callahan were designated as eligible directors under the Plan. The Plan provides that each eligible director will receive a $50,000 annual retainer payable in cash, or, at the director’s election, in Parent stock. In addition, the director will receive, on an annual basis, a grant of restricted shares of Parent stock having an aggregate fair market value, as of the grant date, equal to $100,000, subject to monthly vesting over a twelve-month period.
