On July 9, 2015, US Foods, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that its President and Chief Executive Officer, John A. Lederer, would step down from that role effective July 10, 2015.

On July 9, 2015, the Company announced that, effective July 13, 2015, Pietro Satriano, previously the Company’s Chief Merchandising Officer, will be promoted to be the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and elected to the board of directors of the Company (replacing Mr. Lederer). Mr. Satriano, age 52, had served as the Company’s Chief Merchandising Officer since February 2011. Prior to joining the Company, Mr. Satriano was president of LoyaltyOne from 2009 to 2011. Previously, he was executive vice president of Loblaw Brands at Loblaw Companies where he was responsible for its complete range of private brands.

Mr. Satriano will also receive a one-time grant of stock options covering 300,000 shares of USF Holding (with an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value of a share on the date of grant and which vest over four years). In addition, Mr. Satriano will have a one time opportunity to make an incremental investment in shares of USF Holding.
