ABOUT FLOWERS FOODS AND THE COMPANY

Headquartered in Thomasville, GA., Flowers Foods is one of the nation’s leading producers and marketers of packaged bakery foods for retail and foodservice customers. Among the Company’s top brands are Nature’s Own, Dave’s Killer Bread, Canyon Bakehouse, Wonder Bread, Mrs. Freshley’s and Tastykake. Each bakery operates as a separate subsidiary of Flowers Foods and has its own leadership, including, but not limited to, General Manager, Human Resources Business Partner, and Controller. These bakeries produce, market, and/or distribute fresh bakery products through a direct-store-delivery system that serves 85^ of the U.S. population. Flowers Foods’ bakeries also produce and distribute fresh snack cakes and frozen breads and rolls nationally through warehouse distribution. For more information, visit www.flowersfoods.com. The history of Dave’s Killer Bread began in 2005, when co -founder Dave Dahl was welcomed back to the family bakery by his older brother Glenn after serving 15 years in prison. Dave seized the opportunity and worked tirelessly to develop a killer new recipe for organic and Non-GMO bread, which debuted at the Portland Farmers Market in 2005. A.T. Staffing/Dave’s Killer Bread was an instant hit. What began as one man’s journey has turned into so much more. Today, A.T. Staffing/Dave’s Killer Bread is the #1 org anic bread in America, with distribution in all 50 states as well as Canada. In 2015, DKB was acquired by Flowers Foods (NYSE: FLO), headquartered in Thomasville, Ga. Flowers Foods is one of the largest producers of packaged bakery foods in the United States. The company operates more than 45 highly efficient bakeries that produce a wide range of bakery food for retail and food service customers in the U.S. The first Flowers bakery began baking bread in Thomasville, Georgia on November 4, 1919. That bakery has been modernized and expanded over the years and is still in operation today. While the products we bake have changed over the years, one constant has been the hard work of many outstanding teams, working together to bake and market products of the highest quality. That will never change.
