On July 8, 2015, William Bishop, the Founder and Chairman of Blue Buffalo Pet Products, Inc. (the “Company”), sent an email message to non-management employees of the Company advising that a certain number of shares in the Company’s initial public offering will be issued by the Company at no cost to them through the platform maintained by LOYAL3 Securities, Inc. The content of that email is set forth below.

Information on, or accessible through, the LOYAL3 Securities, Inc. website or any of the websites cited in the email is not part of this Free Writing Prospectus, nor is it part of the preliminary prospectus or registration statement.

Subject: Blue Buffalo is Going Public. You’re Invited.

To: Our Herd Members:

Blue Buffalo is planning to offer shares of its common stock in an initial public offering (“IPO”). Treating Herd members as owners has always been an important part of how we’ve operated, so in recognition of our IPO, we will be gifting IPO shares to every one of our non-executive Herd members (both part-timers and full-timers).

You will not be required to outlay any of your own money to receive these shares – they are a GIFT, a thank you, a congratulations! In addition, since the value of the gifted shares is considered “taxable income” by the IRS, you will see it reflected as such in your pay stub and W-2. In order to help offset those taxes, if you accept the gift, Blue Buffalo will be giving you an additional cash gift equivalent to 25% of the value of your stock gift, which will also be reflected on your pay stub.

Your shares will be awarded through an easy-to-use platform operated by an online broker-dealer named LOYAL3. There are no transaction fees for you to receive your award. However, you must register an account on the LOYAL3 platform (three easy steps) to receive your shares BY JULY 21.

Click here to start the registration process

In order to claim your gift, you will need your employee ID number and email address in order to create an account with LOYAL3. Your employee ID number can be found on your check stub in the box entitled “file”. For Pet Detectives, this number is also the number you use to log your hours in Kronos. If you do not know your number and need to log in to ADP to retrieve it, a quick reminder is outlined below:


Step One: Login into WorkforceNow with ADP:

                 https://workforcenow.adp.com/public/index.htm

Step Two: From the “Home” screen, click on the “Myself” tab

Step Three: Then Click on“Pay”

Step Four: Then Click on “Pay Statements”

Step Five: Then Click on “View Check”

The ID number will be in the second box from the left under entitled “File.” It is 6 digits long.

How many shares will be included in the gift awards?

Your individual gift amount will be based on your role and tenure with the company and will be displayed on the LOYAL3 platform after you register.

How and when do I receive my shares?

To receive your shares, you must complete the registration before 4pm ET on July 21. Pet Detectives, please use the email address you use in connection with your work at Blue Buffalo.

Who is eligible to receive this gift?

You must be an employee as of July 15, 2015 and employed through July 21.

Can I buy additional shares with my own money?

Yes you can. Additional shares can be purchased on the LOYAL3 website after you complete your gift enrollment, or by visiting Blue Buffalo IPO through the LOYAL3 platform. You can purchase shares in our IPO through LOYAL3 in amounts ranging from $100-$2,500, with no transaction fees. Participation is on a first-come, first-served basis.

How do I sell my shares?

You can place your order to sell your shares through the LOYAL3 platform without any fees. Your sale orders placed before 2:00 pm (eastern time) on a trading day are combined with other sell orders in a daily batch, typically only once a day. Please note that the market price of the stock may change between the time you place your order and the time of the daily batch execution – resulting in a possible gain or loss, which may be significant.

Note, however, if you already own existing shares in Blue Buffalo or if you have elected to exercise options and sell shares in the IPO, you are party to the Investor Rights Agreement and therefore subject to certain transfer restrictions on your existing shares, including a restriction on your ability to sell more than the “Catch-up Amount” (as defined in the Investor Rights Agreement) as well as a lock-up period during which you will not be able to sell shares until 180 days after the pricing of the IPO. Therefore you will not be able to sell existing shares you own through the LOYAL3 platform. However, the gifted IPO shares you receive will not be subject to these transfer restrictions and may be sold through the LOYAL3 platform.

What if I have other questions?

For questions relating specifically to the online enrollment process, please contact LOYAL3 at 1.855.2LOYAL3 (1.855.256.9253) or email support@loyal3.com. For questions relating to your share award, please contact Jennifer Stites at [phone number] or email at [email address].

Hello fellow Herd Members. Today I’m very excited to share some big news: Blue Buffalo is going public.

And because of the contributions that you have made to the success of the Buff, we want to share this milestone with you in a couple of ways.

First, we will be gifting shares to all our U.S. Herd Members who are not executives. And you’ll be able to own these shares at no cost to you because we’ll gross up your paycheck to cover the estimated taxes on a gift of this type.

And since some of you might want to participate to a somewhat greater degree, we’ve worked with our friends at LOYAL3 to make our IPO stock available to you at the same time, and at the same price as Wall Street, fee free, with orders starting for as little as $100.

This is the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Blue Buffalo and I look forward to sharing our future with you.

Hello fellow Herd members. Today I’m very excited to share some big news: Blue Buffalo is going public.

Having worked with many of you for a lot of years, it’s clear to me that if it were not for you, the Buff would not be the success that it is today.

This is why I believe that you should be able to share in our IPO at the same time, and at the same price as Wall Street.

So working in partnership with our friends at LOYAL3, we are making our IPO stock available to you, fee free, with orders starting for as little as $100.

Video Transcript

Hi, I’m Bill Bishop, the Founder and Chairman of Blue Buffalo, and I am excited to share some big news: Blue Buffalo is going public.

We realize, that if it were not for you, our loyal pet parents, Blue Buffalo would not be the success that it is today.

This is why we want to share our IPO with you, at the same price, and at the same time, as Wall Street.

So working with our friends at LOYAL3, we are making our IPO stock available to you, fee-free, with orders starting for as little as $100.

While with typical IPOs, the term “friends and family” is used to describe only a few select individuals who are able to participate along with Wall Street, at Blue Buffalo, you are our friends and family, and we’d be honored to have you join us.

This is the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Blue Buffalo, and we look forward to sharing our future with you, our new and extended family.
