Flowers Foods, Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;) on July&nbsp;18, 2017 (the &#147;Original 8-K&#148;). The Original 8-K was filed to report the Company&#146;s commencement of a voluntary employee separation incentive plan (the &#147;VSIP&#148;). At the
time of the filing of the Original 8-K, the Company was unable to make a good faith estimate of the charges that may be incurred as a result of the VSIP. Accordingly, the sole purpose of this Amendment is to provide the Company&#146;s estimate of
these charges and file the press release announcing these charges, along with other details on its strategic priorities. </P> <P STYLE="font-size:18pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

Original 8-K, on July&nbsp;17, 2017, the Company commenced the VSIP as part of its effort to restructure, streamline operations and better position the Company for profitable growth. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As of the date of this Amendment, the VSIP has resulted in the voluntary separation of approximately 321 employees of the Company. Employee
separations under the VSIP began on September 7, 2017, with the remaining separations expected to occur primarily throughout the remainder of fiscal 2017. The Company currently expects that the VSIP will result in a net reduction of approximately 3%
of the Company&#146;s total workforce prior to the implementation of the VSIP. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In connection with the actions described above, the
Company expects to record aggregate charges of approximately $27 million to $30 million in the third quarter of 2017, with 25% to be paid during the remainder of 2017, and 75% to be paid during the first quarter of 2018. These charges consist
primarily of employee severance and benefits-related costs. </P> <P STYLE="font-size:18pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Statements contained in this press release that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements relate to current
expectations regarding our future financial condition, performance and results of operations, planned capital expenditures, long-term objectives of management, supply and demand, pricing trends and market forces, and integration plans and expected
benefits of transactions and are often identified by the use of words and phrases such as &#147;anticipate,&#148; &#147;believe,&#148; &#147;continue,&#148; &#147;could,&#148; &#147;estimate,&#148; &#147;expect,&#148; &#147;intend,&#148;

or other comparable terminology. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those projected. Other factors that may cause actual results to differ from the forward-looking
statements contained in this release and that may affect the company&#146;s prospects in general include, but are not limited to (a)&nbsp;competitive conditions in the baked foods industry, including promotional and price competition,
(b)&nbsp;changes in consumer demand for our products, including changes in consumer behavior, trends and preferences, including health and whole grain trends, and the movement toward more inexpensive store-branded products, (c)&nbsp;the success of
productivity improvements and new product introductions, (d)&nbsp;a significant reduction in business with any of our major customers including a reduction from adverse developments in any of our customer&#146;s business, (e)&nbsp;fluctuations in
commodity pricing, (f)&nbsp;energy and raw material costs and availability and hedging and counterparty risk, (g)&nbsp;our ability to fully integrate recent acquisitions into our business, (h)&nbsp;our ability to achieve cash flow from capital
expenditures and acquisitions and the availability of new acquisitions that build shareholder value; (i)&nbsp;our ability to successfully implement our business strategies, including those strategies the company has initiated under Project
Centennial, which may involve, among other things, the integration of recent acquisitions or the acquisition or disposition of assets at presently targeted values, the deployment of new systems and technology and an enhanced organizational
structure, (j)&nbsp;consolidation within the baking industry and related industries; (k)&nbsp;disruptions in our direct-store delivery system, including litigation or an adverse ruling from a court or regulatory or government body that could affect
the independent contractor classification of our independent distributors; (l)&nbsp;any existing or additional disruptions to the business due to weather or other circumstances, including government regulation or restrictions resulting therefrom;
(m)&nbsp;increasing legal complexity and legal proceedings that we are or may become subject to; and (n)&nbsp;the failure of our information technology systems to perform adequately, including any interruptions, intrusions or security breaches of
such systems. The foregoing list of important factors does not include all such factors, nor necessarily present them in order of importance. In addition, you should consult other public disclosures made by the company, including the risk factors
included in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (&#147;SEC&#148;) and disclosures made in other filings with the SEC and company press releases, for
other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected by the company. We caution you not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, as they speak only as of the date made and are inherently uncertain. The
company undertakes no obligation to publicly revise or update such statements, except as required by law. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><U>Information Regarding Non-GAAP Financial
Measures </U></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
However, from time to time, the company may present in its public statements, press releases and SEC filings, non-GAAP financial measures such as, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBIT, EBITDA </P>

<p Style='page-break-before:always'>
<HR  SIZE="3" style="COLOR:#999999" WIDTH="100%" ALIGN="CENTER">
 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">
margin, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted EBIT by segment, and adjusted EPS, adjusted selling, distribution and administrative expenses (SD&amp;A), gross margin excluding
depreciation and amortization and the ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA. The reconciliations attached provide reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures used in this presentation or release to the most comparable GAAP financial measure. The
company&#146;s definitions of these non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by others. These non-GAAP measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with
GAAP. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The company defines EBITDA as earnings from continuing operations before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and income attributable
to non-controlling interest. The company believes that EBITDA is a useful tool for managing the operations of its business and is an indicator of the company&#146;s ability to incur and service indebtedness and generate free cash flow. EBITDA is
used as the primary performance measure in the company&#146;s 2014 Omnibus Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan. Furthermore, pursuant to the terms of our credit facility, EBITDA is used to determine the company&#146;s compliance with certain
financial covenants. The company also believes that EBITDA measures are commonly reported and widely used by investors and other interested parties as measures of a company&#146;s operating performance and debt servicing ability because EBITDA
measures assist in comparing performance on a consistent basis without regard to depreciation or amortization, which can vary significantly depending upon accounting methods and non-operating factors (such as historical cost). EBITDA is also a
widely-accepted financial indicator of a company&#146;s ability to incur and service indebtedness. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to
(a)&nbsp;income from operations or net income (loss) as a measure of operating performance; (b)&nbsp;cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities (as determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of the company&#146;s
ability to meet its cash needs; or (c)&nbsp;any other indicator of performance or liquidity that has been determined in accordance with GAAP. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The company
defines adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBIT, adjusted net income, adjusted EBIT by segment, and adjusted net income per diluted share, respectively, excluding the impact of asset impairment charges, acquisition-related costs, and pension plan
settlements. The company believes that these measures, when considered together with its GAAP financial results, provides management and investors with a more complete understanding of its business operating results, including underlying trends, by
excluding the effects of certain charges. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Net debt to EBITDA is used as a measure of financial leverage employed by the company. Gross margin excluding
depreciation and amortization is used as a performance measure to provide additional transparent information regarding our results of operations on a consolidated and segment basis. Changes in depreciation and amortization are separately discussed
and include depreciation and amortization for materials, supplies, labor and other production costs and operating activities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Presentation of gross
margin includes depreciation and amortization in the materials, supplies, labor and other production costs according to GAAP. Our method of presenting gross margin excludes the depreciation and amortization components, as discussed above. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The reconciliation below provides a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measure used in this release to the most comparable GAAP financial measure. </P>
