Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

On July 15, 2014, Starboard Value LP (“Starboard”) delivered a letter to the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Issuer. In the letter, Starboard highlighted the need for a new direction and new leadership at the Issuer. Starboard condemned the Board for the recent value destruction at the Issuer, including the loss of $1 billion in market value relative to the Issuer’s peers since the sale of Red Lobster was announced, which could have easily been avoided had the Board paused and listened to its shareholders. Starboard stated in the letter that the sale of Red Lobster is the latest in a string of bad decisions by management and the Board that have led to the Issuer’s massive stock price underperformance relative to its peers over the past five years. Starboard concluded the letter by urging the Board to allow Starboard’s highly qualified slate of restaurant industry veterans, real estate experts, and corporate governance stewards to begin to take Darden in a new and dramatically improved direction without unnecessary delay. The full text of the letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
