Check the appropriate box below if the Form 8-K filing is intended to simultaneously satisfy the filing obligation of the registrant under any of the following provisions (see General Instruction A.2 below):

On August 27, 2014, Bob Evans Farms, Inc. (the “Company”) issued an investor presentation (“Investor Presentation”). The Company’s Investor Presentation is available on its website at http://www.bobevans.com/investors/default.aspx and is also furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company’s reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and other publicly available information, should be consulted for other important information about the Company.

The information included in the Investor Presentation includes financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of the Company’s performance. The Company believes that the presentation of certain non-GAAP measures provides useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the operating results of the Company’s core businesses. These non-GAAP disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. References as to the reconciliation of the non-GAAP information is included in the Investor Presentation furnished as Exhibit 99.1.

Some of the matters discussed in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe-harbor” provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include statements other than those made solely with respect to historical fact and are based on the intent, belief or current expectations of the Company and/or its management. The Company’s business and operations are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties that might cause actual results to differ materially from those projected by any forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to, the risk factors set forth in the Company’s filings with the SEC.
