foreign economic conditions, including currency fluctuations, import/export restrictions and foreign politics; (vii)&nbsp;outbreak of a livestock disease (such as avian influenza (AI) or bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE)), which could have an
adverse effect on livestock we own, the availability of livestock we purchase, consumer perception of certain protein products or our ability to access certain domestic and foreign markets; (viii)&nbsp;changes in availability and relative costs of
labor and contract growers and our ability to maintain good relationships with employees, labor unions, contract growers and independent producers providing us livestock; (ix)&nbsp;issues related to food safety, including costs resulting from
product recalls, regulatory compliance and any related claims or litigation; (x)&nbsp;changes in consumer preference and diets and our ability to identify and react to consumer trends; (xi)&nbsp;significant marketing plan changes by large customers

and changes to regulations and laws (both domestic and foreign), including changes in accounting standards, tax laws, environmental laws, agricultural laws and occupational, health and safety laws; (xv)&nbsp;our ability to make effective
acquisitions or joint ventures and successfully integrate newly acquired businesses into existing operations; (xvi)&nbsp;effectiveness of advertising and marketing programs; and (xvii)&nbsp;those factors listed under Item&nbsp;1A. &#147;Risk

<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The following description of our capital stock is based upon our certificate of incorporation (&#147;Certificate of Incorporation&#148;),
our bylaws (&#147;Bylaws&#148;) and applicable provisions of law. We have summarized certain portions of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws below. The summary is not complete. The Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws are incorporated by
reference into the registration statement for these securities that we have filed with the SEC and have been filed as exhibits to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September&nbsp;28, 2013. You should read the Certificate of
Incorporation and Bylaws for the provisions that are important to you. In this &#147;Description of Capital Stock,&#148; unless otherwise indicated, &#147;we,&#148; &#147;us,&#148; &#147;our,&#148; &#147;the Company&#148; and similar words refer to

<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We currently have issued and outstanding two classes of capital stock, Class&nbsp;A common stock, par value $0.10 per share, and Class B
common stock, par value $0.10 per share. Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 900&nbsp;million shares of each of Class&nbsp;A common stock and Class B common stock. The holders of Class&nbsp;A common stock are
entitled to one vote, and the holders of Class B common stock are entitled to ten votes, for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, including the election of directors. Except as required by law, holders of
Class&nbsp;A common stock and Class B common stock vote together as a single class; provided, however, that holders of Class&nbsp;A common stock and Class B common stock vote separately as a class with respect to the issuance of additional shares of
Class B common stock (except in connection with stock splits and stock dividends). Holders of Class&nbsp;A common stock and holders of Class B common stock do not have cumulative voting rights. Holders of Class&nbsp;A common stock and Class B common
stock are entitled to receive such dividends and other distributions in cash, stock or property of the Company as may be determined by our board of directors out of any funds legally available therefor; provided, however, that no cash dividend may
be paid on Class B common stock unless a cash dividend is simultaneously paid on Class&nbsp;A common stock, and the per share amount of the cash dividend paid on Class B common stock cannot exceed 90% of the per share cash dividend simultaneously
paid on Class&nbsp;A common stock. In the case of dividends or other distributions payable in common stock, including distributions pursuant to stock splits or divisions, such distributions or divisions will be in the same proportion with respect to
each class of stock, but only shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock will be distributed with respect to Class&nbsp;A common stock and only shares of Class B common stock will be distributed with respect to Class B common stock. In the case of any
combination or reclassification of Class&nbsp;A common stock, the shares of Class B common stock will also be combined or reclassified so that the relationship between the number of shares of Class B common stock and Class&nbsp;A common stock
outstanding immediately following such combination or reclassification will be the same as the relationship between Class B common stock and Class&nbsp;A common stock immediately prior to such combination or reclassification. </FONT></P>

remaining after payment of all debts and liabilities of the Company; provided that a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into any other corporation or a sale or conveyance of all or any part of the assets of the Company (which does not in
fact result in the liquidation of the Company and the distribution of assets to our stockholders) will not be deemed to be a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. Such holders do not have preemptive,
conversion or redemption rights, except that each holder of Class B common stock may, at such holder&#146;s option, and upon written notice to the Company, convert each share of Class B common stock into one fully paid and nonassessable share of
Class&nbsp;A common stock. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Article Fourth of our Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that the holders of the

certificates and (ii)&nbsp;the Company&#146;s obligation imposed by a covenant contained in such Article to reserve and keep available for issuance shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock sufficient to provide for any such conversion of all outstanding

respective principal or face amounts of the securities beneficially owned by the participants. Any dealers, underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of the securities will designate the accounts to be credited. Ownership of
beneficial interests in a registered global security will be shown on, and the transfer of ownership interests will be effected only through, records maintained by the depositary, with respect to interests of participants, and on the records of
participants, with respect to interests of persons holding through participants. The laws of some states may require that some purchasers of securities take physical delivery of these securities in definitive form. These laws may impair your ability

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">So long as the depositary, or its nominee, is the registered owner of a registered global
security, that depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the securities represented by the registered global security for all purposes under the applicable indenture, warrant agreement, guaranteed
trust preferred security or unit agreement. Except as described below, owners of beneficial interests in a registered global security will not be entitled to have the securities represented by the registered global security registered in their
names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of the securities in definitive form and will not be considered the owners or holders of the securities under the applicable indenture, warrant agreement, guaranteed trust preferred
security or unit agreement. Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a registered global security must rely on the procedures of the depositary for that registered global security and, if that person is not a participant, on the
procedures of the participant through which the person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder under the applicable indenture, warrant agreement, guaranteed trust preferred security or unit agreement. We understand that under existing
industry practices, if we request any action of holders or if an owner of a beneficial interest in a registered global security desires to give or take any action that a holder is entitled to give or take under the applicable indenture, warrant
agreement, guaranteed trust preferred security or unit agreement, the depositary for the registered global security would authorize the participants holding the relevant beneficial interests to give or take that action, and the participants would
authorize beneficial owners owning through them to give or take that action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners holding through them. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

global security registered in the name of a depositary or its nominee will be made to the depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner of the registered global security. None of Tyson, the trustees, the warrant agents, the
unit agents or any other agent of Tyson, agent of the trustees or agent of the warrant agents or unit agents will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to payments made on account of beneficial ownership
interests in the registered global security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to those beneficial ownership interests. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

securities or other property to holders on that registered global security, will immediately credit participants&#146; accounts in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in that registered global security as shown on the
records of the depositary. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in a registered global security held through participants will be governed by standing customer instructions and customary practices, as is now
the case with the securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in &#147;street name,&#148; and will be the responsibility of those participants. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
