The material changes in this amendment include changing performance-based payouts under the provisions of the Company&#8217;s Annual Incentive Plan such that when a covered officer&#8217;s Date of Termination (as defined in the Executive Severance Plan) occurs in the first, second or third quarters of the Company&#8217;s fiscal year, the performance-based payout will be based on actual performance for such fiscal year (rather than target performance for such fiscal year) and such amount will be determined following the disclosure of performance results and any adjustments, and clarifying additional circumstances under which severance pay and benefits may be canceled or refunded back to the Company. The other material terms and conditions in the Executive Severance Plan remain substantially unchanged and in full force and effect.</font></div><div style="text-align:justify"><font><br></font></div><div style="text-align:justify"><font><br></font></div><div style="text-align:justify"><font><br></font></div><div style="text-align:justify"><font><br></font></div><div style="text-align:justify"><font><br></font></div><div style="text-align:justify"><table style="border-collapse:collapse;display:inline-table;margin-bottom:5pt;vertical-align:text-bottom;width:99.358%"><tr><td style="width:1.0%"></td><td style="width:18.900%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td><td style="width:1.0%"></td><td style="width:18.900%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td><td style="width:1.0%"></td><td style="width:18.900%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td><td style="width:1.0%"></td><td style="width:18.900%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td><td style="width:1.0%"></td><td style="width:18.900%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td></tr><tr style="height:3pt"><td colspan="15" style="border-bottom:1pt solid #000;padding:0 1pt"></td></tr></table></div><div style="text-align:justify"><font><br></font></div><div style="text-align:justify"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND WHERE TO FIND IT</font></div><div style="text-align:justify"><font><br></font></div><div style="text-align:justify"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">In connection with our 2023 annual meeting of shareholders, we previously filed our definitive proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#8220;SEC&#8221;) and commenced mailing our notice of Internet availability of proxy materials or our definitive proxy statement and proxy card to our shareholders on December 21, 2022. </font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">BEFORE MAKING ANY VOTING DECISION, YOU ARE URGED TO READ THE DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT CAREFULLY IN ITS ENTIRETY.</font></div><div style="text-align:justify"><font><br></font></div><div style="text-align:justify"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">We maintain an internet website for investors at </font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">http&#58;&#47;&#47;ir.tyson.com</font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">.
