On March15, 2017, Thomas P. Crimmins, our Executive Vice
President of Finance and Chief Financial Officer, resigned from
our company to pursue other activities. Mr.Crimmins was employed
under an employment agreement. Mr.Crimmins decision was not the

matter relating to our companys accounting practices or financial
statements.

We have initiated a search for a new Chief Financial Officer and
until one is appointed, Amy Chiovari, age 46, currently our
Corporate Controller, will serve as Interim Chief Financial

the Company in 1996 and has served in various capacities within
our accounting and finance department and over the years has been
responsible for many functions, including, corporate accounting,
corporate finance, financial reporting, treasury, tax and
internal control over financial reporting.

There are no arrangements or understandings between Ms.Chiovari
and any other person to which she was appointed as our companys
Interim Chief Financial Officer. There is no family relationship
between Ms.Chiovari and any director, executive officer, or
person nominated or chosen by our company to become a director or
executive officer of our company. BG Foods has not entered into
any transactions with Ms.Chiovari that would require disclosure
to Item 404(a)of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934.
