On June 19, 2017, Hostess Brands, Inc. (the Company), entered
into a Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement (the
Agreement) with each of its executive officers, to which each
executive officer agreed not to work for a competitor of the
Company in the in-store bakery or sweet baked goods business
while employed by the Company and for a period of six months
after the termination of employment with the Company for any
reason. Each executive officer also agreed to certain obligations
not to solicit employees or customers of the Company for the
purpose of providing or selling competitive products while
employed by the Company and during such six-month post-employment

supersede the non-competition and non-solicitation obligations
contained in the Agreement.
