Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

On January 21, 2016, TreeHouse Foods, Inc. (“TreeHouse”) issued a press release announcing the pricing of its private offering of $775 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2024 (the “Notes”). TreeHouse expects to use the proceeds of the Notes offering to finance, in part, its previously announced acquisition of the private brands business of ConAgra Foods, Inc. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Notes will be offered only to “qualified institutional buyers” in reliance on the exemption from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to persons outside of the United States in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction, and may not be offered or sold in the United States without registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities or blue sky laws and foreign securities laws. This Current Report on Form 8-K is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

The information contained in this Item 7.01 and Exhibit 99.1 hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by reference in such a filing.
