US FOODS ANNOUNCES

RECEIPT OF REQUISITE CONSENTS FROM HOLDERS OF 8.5% SENIOR NOTES

DUE 2019 AND EXPIRATION OF CONSENT SOLICITATION

Rosemont, Ill. – US Foods, Inc. (“US Foods” or the “Company”) previously announced that it is soliciting consents from holders of its outstanding 8.5% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “Notes”) to approve amendments (the “Proposed Amendments”) to the Indenture, dated as of May 11, 2011, among the Company, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), and Wilmington Trust, National Association (as successor by merger to Wilmington Trust FSB, the “Trustee”), pursuant to which the Notes were issued. The solicitation of consents by the Company (the “Consent Solicitation”) was made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Consent Solicitation Statement, dated December 10, 2013.

The Proposed Amendments modify certain definitions contained in the Indenture so that the proposed acquisition by Sysco Corporation (“Sysco”) of all of the outstanding equity interests of US Foods (the “Acquisition”) pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger (the “Acquisition Agreement”) entered into by, among others, Sysco and USF Holding Corp., as parent of US Foods, on December 8, 2013 will not constitute a “Change of Control” under the Indenture, and US Foods will not be required to make a “Change of Control Offer” under the Indenture in connection with the Acquisition.

As of 11:00 a.m. on December 19, 2013, valid consents from holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes (the “Requisite Consents”) were received and not revoked and revocation rights have terminated. The Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee have executed a supplemental indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”) to effect the Proposed Amendments. The Supplemental Indenture shall bind all holders of Notes and their transferees. The Proposed Amendments became operative upon the execution and delivery of the Supplemental Indenture and will thereafter bind every holder of Notes. However, the Supplemental Indenture will provide that if either (i) the Acquisition Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms or (ii) the Acquisition is not consummated by September 8, 2015, the terms in the Indenture that would be affected by the Proposed Amendments will revert to the form in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, with such reversion being retroactive as if the Proposed Amendments had never become operative. The Consent Solicitation expired as of 5:00 p.m. on December 19, 2013.

The Company retained Goldman, Sachs & Co. as the exclusive solicitation agent (the “Solicitation Agent”). Any persons with questions regarding the consent solicitation should contact the Solicitation Agent at (212) 357-0215 (collect) or (800) 828-3182 (toll free).

This announcement is for information purposes only and is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any security. This announcement is also not a solicitation of consents with respect to the Proposed Amendments or any securities. No recommendation is being made as to whether holders of the Notes should consent to the Proposed Amendments. The solicitation of consents 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 solicitation under applicable state or foreign securities or “blue sky” laws.
