Item 8.01 Other Events.

On February 4, 2020, Conagra Brands, Inc. (the “Company”) elected to exercise its optional redemption rights to redeem $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s Floating Rate Notes due 2020 (the “Notes”), and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee under the indenture governing the Notes, issued a notice of partial redemption to registered holders of the Notes. The date fixed for the redemption of the Notes is February 21, 2020 (the “Redemption Date”). The Notes will be redeemed at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued interest on the Notes to be redeemed to, but not including the Redemption Date. The foregoing does not constitute a notice of redemption with respect to any of the Notes. The Company’s previously disclosed capital allocation commitments for fiscal year 2020 remain unchanged.
