Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On May 1, 2019, at the annual meeting (the “Annual Meeting”) of the stockholders of US Foods Holding Corp. (the “Company”), the Company’s stockholders approved the US Foods Holding Corp. 2019 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”), which was previously approved by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), subject to stockholder approval. The 2019 Plan authorizes the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, unrestricted stock, restricted stock units and other equity-based and cash-based awards to the Company’s directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors. Subject to the terms and conditions of the 2019 Plan, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance under the 2019 Plan is 16,200,000, reduced by the number of shares granted under the Company’s prior equity plan on or after February 28, 2019.

The 2019 Plan is set forth in its entirety as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

At the Annual Meeting on May 1, 2019, the Company’s stockholders adopted an amendment and restatement of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (the “Restated Certificate of Incorporation”) to provide for the phased-in elimination of the classification of the Board and to remove the references to a terminated stockholders agreement with the Company’s former private equity sponsors.

Also on May 1, 2019, in connection with the adoption of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Board approved an amendment and restatement of the Company’s Bylaws (the “Amended and Restated Bylaws”) to reflect the above-described changes to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and to conform amendment terms in Section 9.01 of the Amended and Restated Bylaws to the corresponding terms in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation.
