These statements are made based on management’s current expectations and beliefs concerning future events and various assumptions and are not guarantees of future performance. Actual results may differ materially as a result of various factors, some of which are beyond the registrant’s control, including but not limited to: general economic and business conditions, including the deterioration of the credit and capital markets, industry trends, our leverage and changes in our leverage, interest rate changes, changes in the registrant’s ownership structure, competition, the loss of any of the registrant’s major customers or suppliers, changes in demand for the registrant’s products, changes in distribution channels or competitive conditions in the markets where the registrant operates, costs of integrating acquisitions, the successful integration and achievement of estimated future cost savings related to acquisitions, loss of the registrant’s intellectual property rights, fluctuations in price and supply of raw materials, seasonality, the registrant’s reliance on co-packers to meet the registrant’s manufacturing needs, availability of qualified personnel, changes in the cost of compliance with laws and regulations, including environmental laws and regulations, and the other risks and uncertainties detailed in the registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 25, 2016 and subsequent reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. There may be other factors that may cause the registrant’s actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. The registrant assumes no obligation to update the information contained in the presentation. Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits. (d) Exhibits.

PINNACLE FOODS INC. By: /s/ Craig Steeneck Name: Craig Steeneck Title: Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Date: December 15, 2016 3 EXHIBIT INDEX Exhibit Number Description of Exhibit 99.1 Slide Show Presentation at Investor Luncheon by Pinnacle Foods Inc. – December 15, 2016 4 Exhibit 99.1 Pinnacle Foods AMPLIFYING THE PLAYBOOK Investor Meeting December 15, 2016 Forward-Looking Statements & Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of U.S. federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based upon management’s current expectations, beliefs, projections and targets, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain. Such expectations, beliefs, projections and targets are expressed in good faith. However, there can be no assurance that management’s expectations, beliefs, projections and targets will be achieved and actual results may differ materially from what is expressed in or indicated by the forward- looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to significant business, economic, regulatory and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements, including risks detailed in Pinnacle Foods Inc.’s (“Pinnacle Foods,” “Pinnacle” or the “Company”) filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Nothing in this presentation should be regarded as a representation by any person that these forward-looking statements will be achieved. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statements are made. The Company assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, subsequent events or circumstances or other changes affecting forward-looking information except to the extent required by applicable securities laws. This presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, which differ from results using U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as supplements to the GAAP reported measures, should not be considered replacements for, or superior to, the GAAP measures and may not be comparable to similarly named measures used by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures typically exclude certain charges, which are not expected to occur routinely in future periods. The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures internally to focus management on performance excluding these special charges to gauge our business operating performance. Management believes this information is helpful to investors because it increases transparency, and assists investors in understanding the underlying performance of the Company and in the analysis of ongoing operating trends. Additionally, management believes that non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by analysts and investors in their evaluation of companies, and its continued inclusion provides consistency in financial reporting and enables analysts and investors to perform meaningful comparisons of past, present and future operating results. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and reconciliations to non-GAAP financial measures are set forth in the appendix to this presentation and included in the Company’s filings with the SEC. 2 Pinnacle FOODS INC.
