PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
$500,000,000

$500,000,000 Floating Rate Notes due 2020
We are offering $500,000,000 principal amount of our Floating Rate Notes due 2020, which we refer to in this prospectus supplement as
our "notes." The notes will bear interest at a rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 0.50% per annum and will mature on October 9, 2020.
We will pay interest on the notes quarterly on January 9, April 9, July 9 and October 9 of each year, commencing on January 9, 2018.
We do not have the right to redeem the notes prior to maturity. If a change of control triggering event occurs, we will be required to
offer to purchase the notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding,
the date of purchase. See "Description of the Notes--Change of Control Offer."
The notes will be our senior unsecured obligations and will rank equally with all our other senior unsecured debt from time to time
outstanding, but will be effectively junior to our secured indebtedness and will not be the obligation of any of our subsidiaries.
The notes are a new issue of securities with no established trading market. We do not intend to apply for listing of the notes on any
securities exchange or any automated quotation system.
Investing in the notes involves risks that are described or referred to in the "Risk Factors" section beginning on page S-6 of this
prospectus supplement.

factors incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement from our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 28, 2017 and our
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended August 27, 2017 under the heading "Risk Factors," and other filings we may make

Our existing and future debt may limit cash flow available to invest in the ongoing needs of our business and could prevent us from fulfilling
our obligations under our outstanding debt securities, as well as the notes.
As of August 27, 2017, we had total long-term debt, including current installments, of approximately $2,965.7 million outstanding. We
have the ability under our existing revolving credit facility to incur substantial additional debt. Our level of debt could have important
consequences. For example, it could:

·
make it more difficult for us to make payments on our debt;

·
require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to the payment of debt service, reducing the

availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, dividend increases, stock repurchases and
other general corporate purposes;

·
increase our vulnerability to adverse economic or industry conditions;

·
limit our ability to obtain additional financing in the future to enable us to react to changes in our business; or

·
place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to businesses in our industry that have less debt.
Additionally, any failure to meet required payments on our debt, or failure to comply with any covenants in the instruments governing
our debt, could result in an event of default under the terms of those instruments and a downgrade to our credit ratings. A downgrade in our credit
ratings would increase our borrowing costs and could affect our ability to issue commercial paper. In the event of a default, the holders of our debt
could elect to declare all the amounts outstanding under such instruments to be due and payable. Any default under the agreements governing our
debt and the remedies sought by the holders of such debt could render us unable to pay principal and interest on our debt.
The notes are subject to prior claims of any secured creditors and the creditors of our subsidiaries and if a default occurs we may not have
sufficient funds to fulfill our obligations under the notes.
The notes are unsecured general obligations of Conagra Brands, Inc., ranking equally with other senior unsecured debt of Conagra
Brands, Inc. but effectively junior to any senior secured debt of Conagra Brands, Inc. and the debt and other liabilities of our subsidiaries. The
indenture governing the notes will permit us and our subsidiaries to incur secured debt under specified circumstances. If we incur any secured debt,
our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries will be subject to prior claims by our secured creditors. In the event of our bankruptcy, liquidation,
reorganization or other winding up, assets that secure debt will be available to pay obligations on the notes only after all debt secured by those
assets has been repaid in full. Holders of the notes will participate in our remaining assets ratably with all of our unsecured and unsubordinated
creditors, including our trade creditors.
If Conagra Brands, Inc. incurs any additional obligations that rank equally with the notes, including trade payables, the holders of those
obligations will be entitled to share ratably with the holders of the notes in

any proceeds distributed upon the insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or other winding up of Conagra Brands, Inc. This may have
the effect of reducing the amount of proceeds paid to you. If there are not sufficient assets remaining to pay all these creditors, all or a portion of the
notes then outstanding would remain unpaid.
The indenture will not limit the amount of debt we may incur or restrict our ability to engage in other transactions that may adversely affect
holders of our notes.
The indenture under which the notes will be issued will not limit the amount of debt that we may incur. The indenture will not contain
any financial covenants or other provisions that would afford the holders of the notes any substantial protection in the event we participate in a
highly leveraged transaction. In addition, the indenture will not limit our ability to pay dividends, make distributions or repurchase shares of our
common stock. Any such transaction could adversely affect you.
We depend on cash flow of our subsidiaries to make payments on our securities.
Conagra Brands, Inc. is in part a holding company. Our subsidiaries conduct a significant percentage of our consolidated operations and
own a significant percentage of our consolidated assets. Consequently, our cash flow and our ability to meet debt service obligations of Conagra
Brands, Inc. depends in large part upon the cash flow of our subsidiaries and the payment of funds by the subsidiaries to us in the form of loans,
dividends or otherwise. Our subsidiaries are not obligated to make funds available to us for payment of the notes or otherwise. In addition, their
ability to make any payments will depend on their earnings, the terms of their debt, business and tax considerations and legal restrictions. The
notes will effectively rank junior to all liabilities of our subsidiaries. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or dissolution of a subsidiary and
following payment of its liabilities, the subsidiary may not have sufficient assets remaining to make payments to us as a shareholder or otherwise.
Active trading markets for the notes may not develop.
