Keurig Green Mountain, Inc. Analyst Notes
On June 10, 2014, Keurig Green Mountain, Inc. (Keurig) announced that it has partnered with SUBWAY® restaurant chain to bring Keurig's single serve brewers to thousands of SUBWAY's North American locations. According to the Company, the Keurig K150 brewer expands the restaurants' hot beverage options, providing freshly brewed coffee on demand. Currently, more than half of the SUBWAY restaurants in the US and Canada have adopted a Keurig® system. John Whoriskey, President for US Sales and Marketing of Keurig said, "Keurig® brewers offer quality and convenience, which are key advantages as SUBWAY restaurants look to provide customers with a consistently high-quality cup of coffee brewed fresh no matter the time of day - not just at breakfast. Keurig® brewers help SUBWAY franchisees simplify operations by eliminating the need for separate brewing of regular, decaffeinated and flavored coffee, reducing waste and clean-up of unconsumed coffee."

The Hillshire Brands Company Analyst Notes
On June 16, 2014, The Hillshire Brands Company (Hillshire Brands) announced that its board of directors has unanimously decided to withdraw its recommendation of the pending acquisition of Pinnacle Foods Inc. (Pinnacle Foods). According to the Company, in relation to the previously disclosed $63.00 per share all-cash unilaterally-binding proposal from Tyson Foods, Inc. to acquire Hillshire Brands, and after consultation with outside legal counsel, the Hillshire Brands board in good faith determined that it would be inconsistent with their duties as directors of Hillshire Brands to fail to withdraw its recommendation of the Pinnacle Foods acquisition. The board of Hillshire Brands now recommends a vote against the Pinnacle Foods transaction, and this change in recommendation may result in Pinnacle Foods terminating the merger agreement in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement.

Tyson Foods Inc. Analyst Notes
On June 16, 2014, in relation to the withdrawal of The Hillshire Brands Company's Board of Directors from its recommendation in favor of the May 12, 2014 merger agreement with Pinnacle Foods (the Pinnacle Agreement), Tyson Foods Inc. (Tyson Foods) released a statement, stating that based on its understanding of the Pinnacle Agreement, Pinnacle Foods may now immediately terminate this agreement and accept a $163 million fee, or it may insist Hillshire Brands conduct a shareholder meeting to vote on a transaction that the Hillshire Brands Board has now recommended against. "We believe our offer to acquire Hillshire Brands for $63 per share in cash is a superior proposal for Hillshire Brands shareholders," said Donnie Smith, President and CEO of Tyson Foods. "We're pleased the Hillshire Board has withdrawn its recommendation in favor of the Pinnacle Agreement, and now recommends the Tyson Foods offer, all as expressly authorized by the Pinnacle Agreement. We hope Pinnacle Foods will promptly accept the termination fee and not delay the ability of Hillshire Brands' shareholders to benefit from Tyson Foods' superior offer."
