3. Why sell the Company now?

After a thorough and careful analysis, which included examining potential alternatives, the Del Monte Board concluded that this transaction would provide significant value to Del Monte’s shareholders.

4. What does this mean for Del Monte?

We believe this is a positive opportunity for Del Monte. As a private company, Del Monte will be better able to focus on long-term value creation without the constraints of shorter-term public market milestones.

In addition to delivering a substantial return to our current shareholders, this transaction positions the Company well for the future. We believe that this transaction will further enable our Company to continue to successfully grow, building on the foundation our team put in place. Further, KKR, Vestar, and Centerview are preeminent and experienced investment firms that share our vision about our strategy and long-term objectives.

5. Why did management not inform employees first? Why did I have to read about it in the newspapers?

We understand that not hearing from management sooner must have been frustrating. However, because we are a public company and are constrained by securities law and other legal considerations, we were not able to inform employees before we formally notified the public of an approved transaction. Unfortunately, the same legal limitations prevented us from commenting on the rumors and media coverage last week.

6. What happens now?

Although we have now announced an agreement among Del Monte and KKR, Vestar, and Centerview, the transaction has not yet closed. Closing of the transaction remains subject to approval by Del Monte shareholders. However, before that occurs, Del Monte’s board of directors will first solicit alternative acquisition offers.

Del Monte will file a preliminary proxy statement with the SEC in the coming weeks, which will contain additional details regarding the transaction. We will post the proxy statement to our internal teamsite at that time.

Subject to receipt of shareholder approval and other customary conditions, it is expected that the transaction will be completed by the end of March 2011.

7. What does today’s announcement mean for my job?

KKR, Vestar, and Centerview have said that they believe Del Monte is an outstanding company and that they believe our solid foundation, together with the high quality of our

2

employees, will position us well into the future. Most employees’ jobs will be unchanged as a result of this announcement.

While we cannot speculate on future business developments resulting from this transaction, we can say that KKR, Vestar, and Centerview have expressed sincere and great confidence in Del Monte’s business and its talented base of employees.

We anticipate that the transaction will close by the end of March 2011, during which time the Company will – and must – operate business as usual.

While we understand that this news has the potential to be distracting, it’s extremely important that we remain 100% focused on our business and continue to deliver the superior products and service that our customers and consumers rely upon.

8. Will there be layoffs?

At this time there are no layoffs planned as a result of this transaction.

9. Do I still work for Del Monte? Or do I work for KKR, Vestar, and Centerview?

Del Monte employees will continue to work for Del Monte. After the closing, Del Monte will simply have new owners.

10. What is the role of the management team?

The broad management team will continue to lead the Company going forward, and Rick Wolford and Dave Meyers will retain a key role in the transition over the next few months. Rick and the existing senior management team are focused on leading the Company through this transition in such a way that we close the deal with even more momentum than today. Additional details regarding the makeup of the senior management team will become clearer as the transaction close nears.

11. What is KKR, Vestar, and Centerview’s management role? Do they “run” the Company?

While all of the details have to be worked out, it is anticipated that KKR, Vestar, and Centerview will appoint a new Del Monte Board of Directors. This Board will provide guidance and governance, just as Del Monte’s current Board of Directors does today.

12. What will happen to the Del Monte stock or options that I own?

Upon completion of the transaction, all shares of Del Monte common stock will be purchased for $19.00 per share in cash. Unvested options will vest and unexercised options will automatically be cashed out based on the transaction price.

13. What is the impact on employee benefits?

Del Monte has a comprehensive array of benefit plans for its employees. KKR, Vestar, and Centerview have agreed to maintain the existing cash compensation and benefit programs at least through the end of F12.

14. Will Del Monte’s headquarters remain in San Francisco?

Del Monte plans to maintain a corporate presence in both the San Francisco Bay Area and in Pittsburgh, and our corporate headquarters will remain in San Francisco. The move to One Maritime Plaza in San Francisco will also proceed as planned.

15. How should I respond to questions from the media, investors, consumers, suppliers or customers about the transaction?

This is a very unique situation in terms of communications. The SEC has communication ground rules that we must follow between the announcement today and the shareholder vote on the transaction. Please speak with your functional VP before engaging in any internal or external communication, to ensure you are in compliance with these guidelines.

It’s critical that all external inquiries are routed through the appropriate Del Monte representatives. Employees are not authorized to respond to external inquiries on their own.
