Item 7.01.

Regulation FD Disclosure

As previously disclosed, on March 9, 2021, Flowers Foods, Inc. (the “Company”) instructed Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Trustee”), the trustee for the Company’s 4.375% Notes due 2022 (the “2022 Notes”), to deliver a notice of redemption to the holders of the 2022 Notes. On April 6, 2021, the Company instructed the Trustee to deliver a supplemental notice of redemption price to the holders of the 2022 Notes, notifying such holders of the amount of the redemption price, calculated in accordance with the terms of the Notes, which shall be equal to 103.857%, or $1,038.57 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes. Because April 8, 2021, the date fixed for redemption, falls on or after the April 1, 2021 interest payment date, interest payable on such interest payment date was paid to the holder of Notes in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on March 15, 2021.
