US Foods Sends Letter to Shareholders

Urges Shareholders to Vote “FOR” ALL of US Foods’ Highly Qualified Directors on the WHITE Proxy Card

Highlights Track Record of Earnings Growth, Long-Range Plan to Create Shareholder Value and Refreshed Board of Directors

ROSEMONT, Ill., April 18, 2022 – US Foods Holding Corp. (NYSE: USFD) (“US Foods” or the “Company”), one of the largest foodservice distributors in the United States, today sent a letter to shareholders in connection with its May 18, 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “2022 Annual Meeting”). Shareholders of record as of March 21, 2022, will be entitled to vote at the meeting.

Highlights from the letter include:

· US Foods has a track record of driving profitable growth.

· US Foods is confident that its plan is creating shareholder value.

· US Foods’ Board has been refreshed with highly qualified directors with relevant skills and experiences and is best suited to lead the Company through the execution of its strategy.

· US Foods has constructively engaged with Sachem Head to avoid a proxy contest, but the erratic nature of Sachem Head’s demands has impeded a settlement.

· US Foods’ Board will continue to act as its own agent of change for the benefit of all of the Company’s shareholders.

The definitive proxy materials and other materials related to the 2022 Annual Meeting, including director biographies and additional details on the Company’s long-range plan, are available at https://www.VoteforUSFoods.com.

The full text of the letter being sent to shareholders follows:

Dear Fellow US Foods Shareholder,

Your vote at US Foods’ upcoming 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders is critical, as Sachem Head Capital Management LP (“Sachem Head”) is conducting an unnecessary proxy contest in an attempt to remove members of your Board of Directors (the “Board”). We urge you to support your Board by voting the WHITE proxy card today “FOR” all US Foods director nominees. When voting the WHITE proxy card, consider the following:

· In the four years leading up to the pandemic, US Foods has a track record of driving profitable growth.

· We recognize that we did not deliver on expectations we set in the past. While we made progress towards our goals in 2018 and 2019, we fell short of fully achieving them. However, during the pandemic, which had an outsized negative impact on our industry, we took important steps not only to weather the unprecedented challenges, but also to emerge as a stronger and more focused company, as demonstrated by our more recent financial performance.

· Our long-range plan, which we shaped over the last twelve months, balances profitable market share and revenue growth, gross margin expansion and cost reduction through a number of tested initiatives and addresses the opportunities we have for further improvement. Recognizing opportunities for improvement, US Foods has made changes to its management team, operating model and customer prioritization to further enable the success of this plan.

· We believe that Sachem Head’s single-minded operational focus on cost reduction will reduce, rather than increase, shareholder value in the long-term. Sachem Head’s proposals are single-mindedly focused on cost reduction. In our industry, one of the biggest drivers of EBITDA and ROIC growth is winning new customers in our target segments, which is why we have built a plan that balances delivering top-line growth by offering customers reliable service and differentiated solutions while also remaining intensely focused on cost management and margin expansion.

· Your Board is composed of directors who bring a diverse, relevant and complementary set of experiences, ranging from distribution and supply chain management to financial expertise, digital technology and restaurant management experience. The Board has shaped our long-range plan and continues to actively oversee its execution. We are committed to ongoing refreshment and recently added two high-quality, independent directors who have further enhanced the diverse skillset and experiences of your Board.

· We have tried hard to avoid a proxy contest, but the erratic nature of Sachem Head’s proposals has impeded a settlement. Our Board and management team have engaged with Sachem Head on numerous occasions, seeking to understand what Sachem Head would do differently with respect to our business, and exploring common ground for a settlement. We have offered Sachem Head multiple reasonable settlement solutions, all of which Sachem Head rejected. In addition, Sachem Head’s erratic series of proposals has created an unfruitful negotiating environment: first proposing three directors, then seven, then six, then four, and now most recently five. Further, Bernardo Hees was removed from Sachem Head’s slate last week after Sachem Head had for six months mandated that Mr. Hees was a non-negotiable precondition to any settlement and insisted that Mr. Hees was not a “stealth CEO candidate.” Now, Mr. Hees’s nomination has been abandoned and Sachem Head is demanding the replacement of our CEO or the sale of the Company instead. The US Foods Board believes that reasonable negotiations require forward progress, rather than the contradictory proposals that have been made by Sachem Head.

STRATEGIC INVESTMENTS HAVE DRIVEN RESULTS AND ESTABLISHED A STRONG FOUNDATION

Our recent progress is part of a longer track record of growth and margin expansion enabled by a strategy designed to stay ahead of evolving customer needs and industry conditions. While we acknowledge that opportunities remain to improve supply chain efficiency, our approach has already delivered significant results.

Our progress has resulted in a strong one-year total shareholder return (TSR) of 56% as of October 6, 2021 (the last day prior to Sachem Head’s Schedule 13D filing), exceeding both US Foods’ peers and the S&P 500, leading the post-pandemic recovery. Our three-year TSR to this same date, as well as our performance from US Foods’ 2016 IPO through the onset of the pandemic, is comparable with that of our largest competitor. (See associated graph)

The execution of our strategy leading up to the pandemic advanced three primary objectives: profitable market share growth through product differentiation, gross margin expansion and operational efficiency improvements:

Objective	Pre-Pandemic Progress1
Profitably Grow Market Share	· Consistently grew volume with independent restaurants, our primary target customer, at 4%, which is approximately twice the market2 · Continually optimized the nationally managed customer portion of our portfolio, including exiting a number of unprofitable customers, which contributed to a more than 350 basis points ROIC increase and created capacity for profitable growth within the existing network · Advanced our differentiated solutions of innovative products, leading e-commerce platform and team-based selling approach, including: o Scoop™, a product innovation engine launched in 2011, through which we have developed over 650 exclusive products, over 75% of which are still sold today3 o Our industry leading e-commerce platform, which provides our sellers with more time and our customers with more flexibility and choice, contributing to larger basket sizes, higher retention and greater penetration with our independent restaurant customers o Assembled a team of experts aimed at target customer types, helping those customers leverage our tools and technology and, as a result, driving high retention with those customers
Optimize Gross Margins	· Implemented a new revenue management team and process, relying on activity-based costing models to inform pricing strategies with larger customers · Developed Cookbook, our industry leading analytics platform that optimizes pricing, sales planning and cross-selling efforts for locally managed customers · Increased our private label portfolio penetration, which is approximately twice as profitable as manufacturer brands, by approximately 300 basis points · Improved cost of goods via improved inbound freight costs and vendor cost of goods

¹ From FY 2015 to FY 2019

² As defined by Technomic

³ Scoop™ statistics through FY 2021

Improve Operational Efficiency · Reduced administrative costs by reducing the field leadership structure by approximately 50% and streamlining the organization’s support office structure, resulting in approximately $75 million of cost savings · Reduced salesforce headcount by roughly 25% and reinvested a portion of savings into expert resources, which had a further benefit of better customer retention · Offset approximately 40% of our annual supply chain wage increases through locally driven supply chain productivity initiatives
· Effectively managed ongoing corporate cost through package governance over travel and related expenses and administrative headcount  

The pandemic accelerated the need for continued adaptation in our business, and we responded by focusing on further differentiating the solutions we provide, streamlining our operating model and building out our omni-channel platform. These actions enabled us to enhance gross profit and reduce costs while simultaneously building our foundation for post-pandemic growth. At the same time, we successfully managed the business through increased volatility of demand, product supply and labor. Combined, these initiatives helped us navigate and emerge successfully from the pandemic, and we are confident they will underpin our continued success:

Objective

Pandemic Progress

Profitably Grow Market Share ~$1B in Net New National Customer Wins4

· Scaled expert resources focused on helping customers navigate the pandemic, which resulted in higher retention and a lower cost service model · Delivered Net Promoter Scores related to service in line with peers · Extended our ability to reach target customers through our acquisition of Smart Foodservice, allowing us to accelerate our expansion into the profitable and faster growing cash and carry market · Invested further in our industry leading e-commerce platform and continued to develop our US Foods Direct platform, which now offers more than 60,000 SKUs not stocked in our warehouses

⁴ From FY 2020 to FY 2021

Optimize Gross Margins Record Adjusted Gross Profit per Case in 2021

· Continued to increase private label penetration · Successfully passed on inflation to both contract and non-contract customers · Continued to optimize customer mix and terms

Improve Operational Efficiency $130M in Selling and Administrative Cost Savings5

· Rightsized the business through an approximately $180 million reduction in administrative and selling costs, reinvesting $50 million of those savings in strategic selling resources · Reduced the number of regions in our operating structure to four and created operational and commercial excellence teams dedicated to driving standardization more effectively and quickly · Optimized product assortment by reducing SKUs by 15%, which drove efficiencies throughout our warehouses

WE ARE CONFIDENT THAT OUR PLAN IS CREATING SHAREHOLDER VALUE

Following the pandemic, the industry has continued its decades-long growth of food away from home relative to food at home. In addition, our industry continues to evolve in a way that favors scale distributors who bring innovative solutions to customers. For example, more restaurants than ever are offering off-premise dining. This evolution in operator preferences is necessitating investments in technology and solutions that provide foodservice customers more tools and greater flexibility. On the product front, increasing demand for sustainable products creates even more opportunity for a distributor with our capabilities and our strategy.

Over the last year, the Board has been actively involved in overseeing the development of our long-range plan. This plan is based on three pillars. First, driving market share by evolving our differentiated solutions in light of market trends, while also offering consistent service and fresh quality. Independent research shows no single broadline distributor has a clear advantage on a dimension of great importance to customers. Second, building upon our successful track record of optimizing gross margins. And third, bringing new processes and talent to drive operational efficiency.

⁵ From FY 2020 to FY 2021

Objective	Strategic Initiatives
Profitably Grow Market Share ~ $290M Adj. EBITDA Growth6	· Establishing industry-leading reliable service and fresh quality · Leveraging scale and differentiation to continue to grow with new and existing customers · Continued evolution of differentiated solutions, such as labor- saving products and menu planning tools and technology · Further development of our omni-channel offering through the expansion of CHEF’STORE and US Foods Direct
Optimize Gross Margins ~ $325M Adj. EBITDA Growth6	· Strategic vendor management to drive lower and more competitive cost of goods · Optimizing inbound freight allowances · Increasing our private brand penetration · Further optimizing margins with nationally managed customers · Implementing next generation pricing platform to dynamically optimize prices for locally managed customers
Improve Operational Efficiency ~ $235M Adj. EBITDA Growth6	· Bringing greater standardization and process discipline in the short term, including: o Routing transformation, o Further leveraging lean process management in each distribution center, and o Better tools and training for new selectors and drivers · Exploring automation opportunities for the mid- and long-term · Continued back-office simplification and cost reduction

By executing our strategy to drive profitable volume growth and margin expansion, we expect to deliver ~$1.7 billion in Adjusted EBITDA in 2024.

⁶ Growth as compared to full-year 2021 results.

These increased earnings will produce strong and growing cash flows, which we can then — in order of priority — prudently allocate to reinvest in the business, reduce leverage, return capital to shareholders and opportunistically pursue tuck-in M&A.

To further demonstrate a commitment to shareholder value, your Board reshaped our 2021 executive compensation to motivate and drive performance to align with shareholders and TSR. The Board introduced special one-time “Value Creation Awards” in 2021, with vesting tied to the achievement of best-in-class TSR growth targets over a four-year performance period. These awards vest in 2025 only if management achieves significant increases in TSR, kicking in only if US Foods trades above $48 per share, with additional higher payout opportunities above $59 and $70 per share. Achievement of these stock price targets is equivalent to market capitalization growth between $2.7 billion and $8.2 billion and would require successful execution of our long-term strategic initiatives aligned with shareholder value creation.

As you consider our plan in the context of Sachem Head’s proxy contest against the Company, it is important to understand that the vast majority of ideas Sachem Head has put forth were already part of our plan that we have been executing over the last 18 months. There is one very important distinction to draw: We believe that Sachem Head’s single-minded focus on cost reduction will reduce, rather than increase, shareholder value in the long-term. One of the biggest drivers of EBITDA and ROIC growth is winning new customers in our target segments, which is why we have built a holistic plan that continues to offer customers reliable service and differentiated solutions, while remaining intensely focused on cost management and margin expansion.

Your Board and management team are not sitting still. We are confident that we have the right plan and the right team to capitalize on the opportunities ahead to generate significant value for our shareholders.

WE HAVE AND WILL CONTINUE TO ACT AS OUR OWN AGENTS OF CHANGE FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL US FOODS SHAREHOLDERS

We are open to change, supported by strong governance. The Board’s composition reflects a commitment to refreshment and bringing in new perspectives. We have appointed six new independent directors during the last four years, five of whom are diverse by gender or ethnicity. The Board’s average tenure is approximately four years. The directors standing for election this year are highly respected in the foodservice and restaurant industry and/or bring significant distribution, supply chain, finance, technology, governance and C-suite operating experience to guide and oversee the Company at this critical time.

The Board has also made substantive governance changes in recent years in line with investor feedback and governance best practices, including:

· Separation of Chairman and CEO roles;

· Declassification of the board, which will be complete at our 2022 Annual Meeting;

· Refreshed committee chairs and committee membership;

· Elimination of supermajority voting requirement to amend the bylaws;

· Adoption of a majority voting standard for uncontested director elections with a director resignation policy (and a plurality vote standard for contested director elections); and

· Enhancement of board diversity.

WE OFFERED SACHEM HEAD REASONABLE SETTLEMENT SOLUTIONS… SACHEM HEAD REJECTED THEM

Since Sachem Head filed its Schedule 13D in October of last year, your Board and management team have engaged seriously and with a sense of urgency with Sachem Head, seeking to understand what Sachem Head would do differently with respect to our business, and exploring common ground for a settlement. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee interviewed Sachem Head’s original three director candidates with an open mind and in the spirit of trying to resolve this matter. Following these interviews, the Board offered to add two new directors: Scott Ferguson, its principal, and a mutually agreed director with supply chain expertise. However, for six months, Sachem Head made the appointment of Bernardo Hees as executive chairman a non-negotiable precondition to any settlement.

Despite our genuine efforts to reach a resolution, Sachem Head went silent on us for many weeks and then publicly released a letter to the media. Without giving any advance notice to US Foods, Sachem Head proceeded to nominate seven director candidates to take control of the Company (four of whom Sachem Head had never mentioned previously to US Foods).

Following the nomination, we requested to interview his four new director candidates, but Mr. Ferguson declined our request. Subsequently Mr. Ferguson made the following proposal: agree to give Sachem Head four seats on the Board and publicly announce either a search for a new CEO or a review of strategic alternatives. He further elaborated that if the Company decided not to pursue a CEO search or sale of the Company, Sachem Head should be given control through a majority of the seats on the Board. US Foods made a fair counterproposal including the appointment of two Sachem Head nominees to the Board (other than Mr. Hees and Ms. Adler, who were removed from Sachem Head’s slate last week) and the formation of a five-member committee charged with the evaluation of avenues to create shareholder value, which would include both Sachem Head directors.

Sachem Head rejected our counterproposal and laid out a new proposal which again increased the number of directors Sachem Head would require to settle the proxy contest to five. To recap the history of Sachem Head’s proposals: Sachem Head first demanded three directors, then seven, then six, then four, and now most recently five. Sachem Head also previously insisted that they simply wanted limited director representation to help improve operations and that Mr. Hees was not a “stealth CEO candidate”; now they are demanding a change in CEO or a sale of the Company. The Board believes that reasonable negotiations require forward progress, rather than the erratic and inconsistent demands that have been made by Sachem Head.

After all this back and forth, Sachem Head’s goal appears to be clear: sell the Company or replace the CEO.

US Foods has the right board and management team to lead the Company through the execution of its strategy. The Board has been significantly refreshed and features diverse viewpoints. We continually evaluate the composition of our Board and are confident that our current Board has a stronger mix of skills than Sachem Head’s nominees and the experience needed to deliver shareholder value. As we have throughout our engagement, we remain open to evaluating reasonable proposals to avoid an unnecessary proxy contest.
