The previously announced underwritten secondary offering (the “Offering”) by a selling stockholder (the “Selling Stockholder”) of 5,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Performance Food Group Company (the “Company”) at a public offering price of $28.40 per share closed on September 18, 2017. The Offering was a registered offering pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3, filed on November 16, 2016 (File No. 333-214642). The Selling Stockholder received all of the net proceeds from the Offering. No shares were sold by the Company.

In connection with the Offering, the legal opinion of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP is filed herewith as Exhibit 5.1, and the consent of Deloitte & Touche LLP is filed herewith as Exhibit 23.1.

In connection with the Offering, the Company updated its disclosure as follows:

Extreme weather conditions and natural disasters may interrupt our business or our customers’ businesses, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Many of our facilities and our customers’ facilities are located in areas that may be subject to extreme and occasionally prolonged weather conditions, including, but not limited to, hurricanes, blizzards, and extreme heat or cold. Such extreme weather conditions may interrupt our or our customers’ operations, reduce the number of consumers who visit our customers’ facilities in such areas, increase our costs, or impact demand for our products. Furthermore, such extreme weather conditions may interrupt or impede access to our or our customers’ facilities or damage or destroy our or our customers’ facilities, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. For example, our operations in certain areas were recently disrupted by Hurricane Harvey in August 2017 and Hurricane Irma in September 2017. In addition, several of our facilities and a number of our customers and employees are located in areas that were impacted by the widespread flooding and damage caused by these hurricanes.
