The Offering Memorandum and these Listing Particulars have been prepared on the basis that all offers
of the Notes in any Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented the

the Prospectus Directive from the requirement to produce a prospectus for offers of the Notes.
Accordingly, any person making or intending to make any offer in that Relevant Member States of the
Notes may only do so in circumstances in which no obligation arises for the Issuer or the Initial
Purchasers to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive. Neither the Issuer
nor the Initial Purchasers have authorized, nor do they authorize, the making of any offer of Notes in

falling within Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive; provided that no such offer of the Notes shall require
the Issuer or the Initial Purchasers to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus
Directive.
For the purposes of this provision, the expression an ``offer of Notes to the public'' in relation to the Notes
in any Relevant Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient
information about the terms of the offer and the Notes to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide
to purchase the Notes, as the same may be varied in that Relevant Member State by any measure
implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Relevant Member State and the expression ``Prospectus

MARKET AND INDUSTRY DATA
Unless otherwise expressly indicated or noted below, all information regarding markets, market size,
market share, market position, growth rates and other industry data pertaining to our business
contained in these Listing Particulars is based on estimates prepared by us based on data from various
market research, publicly available information and industry publications, including reports published by
various third-party sources including, but not limited to, Nielsen (as of March 29, 2014), Key Note (as of
January 2014), IGD Retail Analysis (as of August 2013), and Kantar Worldpanel (as of March 30, 2014) as
well as certain assumptions and our knowledge of the industry in which we operate. Industry
publications generally state that the information they contain has been obtained from sources believed
to be reliable, but that the accuracy and completeness of such information is not guaranteed. We have
not independently verified such data. Market share data for the Chilled segment are based on
management's interpretation of Nielsen and Kantar Worldpanel market data. Statistical information
relating to the growth of the U.K. poultry market is derived from the Key Note Report. U.K retail chicken
market share data are based on management's interpretation of the retail market data on Kantar
Worldpanel data. All other data is based upon independent third party research.
In many cases, there is no readily available external information (whether from trade associations,
government bodies or other organizations) to validate market-related analyses and estimates, requiring
us to rely on our own internally developed estimates regarding the U.K. packaged foods and protein
markets, our position in the industry, our market share and the market shares of various industry
participants based on experience, our own investigation of market conditions and our review of industry
publications, including information made available to the public by our competitors. While we have
examined and relied upon certain market or other industry data from external sources as the basis of its
estimates, neither we nor the Initial Purchasers have verified that data independently. We and the Initial
Purchasers cannot assure you of the accuracy and completeness of, and take no responsibility for such
data. Similarly, while we believe our internal estimates to be reasonable, these estimates have not been
verified by any independent sources and we and the Initial Purchasers cannot assure you as to their
accuracy. Our estimates involve risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various
factors. We take responsibility for the correct reproduction and extraction of the information contained
herein.
PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION
These Listing Particulars contain the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as at
July 30, 2011, July 28, 2012 and July 27, 2013 and for each of the 52 week periods then ended (the
``Audited Consolidated Financial Statements'') and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements of the Company as at April 27, 2013 and April 26, 2014 and for each of the 39 weeks then
ended (the ``Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements'' and, together with the
Audited Consolidated Financial Statements, the ``Consolidated Financial Statements''). The
Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with United Kingdom generally
accepted accounting practice (``U.K. GAAP'') and, in the opinion of our management, include all
adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair representation of interim
results. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.
We completed a number of acquisitions and disposals in the 52 weeks ended July 30, 2011, July 28,
2012 and July 27, 2013 and the 39 weeks ended April 27, 2013 and April 26, 2014. These acquisitions
and disposals are reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements as of the date of acquisition or
disposal. See ``Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations--Events that Affected Our Results of Operations--Acquisitions and Dispositions''.
We present our annual accounts as at the Saturday closest to July 31 of each year, which occasionally
results in a 53 week fiscal year. The financial information presented in these Listing Particulars is
presented in pounds sterling, unless otherwise stated.
Solely for the convenience of the reader, the tables in certain sections of these Listing Particulars also set
out certain of the Company's financial data as of and for the 52 weeks ended April 26, 2014, which have
been calculated by adding the results for the 52 weeks ended July 27, 2013 and the 39 weeks ended
April 26, 2014, and subtracting the results for the 39 weeks ended April 27, 2013. See ``Summary
Historical Financial and Other Information'' and ``Selected Historical Financial Information''.

The Issuer is a special purpose finance vehicle and was incorporated as a public limited company on

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
These Listing Particulars contain certain measures and ratios, including Adjusted EBITDA, operating
working capital, total debt and total financial debt, as defined by us, that are not required by, or prepared
in accordance with U.K. GAAP (``non-GAAP''). We believe non-GAAP financial measures are helpful to
investors and financial analysts in highlighting trends in our overall business because the items excluded
in calculating such measures have little or no bearing on our day-to-day operating performance.
Our non-GAAP measures are defined by us as follows:
·
``Adjusted EBITDA'' is defined as profit or loss for the financial period before equity minority interest,
tax on profit or loss on ordinary activities, tax on share of profit or loss from joint ventures, interest
payable and similar charges, interest receivable and similar income, depreciation, amortization
exceptional items, and for purposes of 2011, the Northern Foods Adjustment. See ``Summary
Historical Financial) and Other Information''.
·
``like-for-like'' measures are comparisons of results of one fiscal period as compared to the
corresponding prior fiscal period taking into account certain adjustments. For an explanation of the
adjustment in each period see ``Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations--Like-for-Like Measures''.
·
``operating working capital'' is defined as the sum of stocks, debtors due within one year, less
creditors: amounts falling due within one year.
·
``total debt'' is defined as the sum of bank loans (net of fees), bond notes (net of fees) and
obligations under finance leases.
·
``total financial debt'' is defined as ``total debt'' less obligations under finance leases.
For a reconciliation of certain of our non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest U.K. GAAP measure,
please see ``Summary Historical Financial and Other Information''.
The non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies
and have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for
analysis of our operating results as reported under GAAP as set out in the Consolidated Financial
Statements included elsewhere in these Listing Particulars. These non-GAAP measures and ratios such
as these are not measurements of our performance or liquidity under U.K. GAAP and should not be
considered as alternatives to operating income or net profit or any other performance measures derived
in accordance with U.K. GAAP or any other generally accepted accounting principles, or as alternatives
to cash flow from operating, investing or financing activities.
Some limitations related to Adjusted EBITDA are:
·
it does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital commitments;
·
it does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
·
it does not reflect the interest expense or cash requirements necessary to service interest or
principal payments on our debt;
·
it does not reflect any cash income taxes that we may be required to pay;
·
it does not adjust for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our statements of
cash flows;
·
it does not reflect the impact of earnings or charges resulting from certain matters we consider not to
be indicative of our ongoing operations;
·
assets are depreciated or amortized over differing estimated useful lives and often have to be
replaced in the future, and this measure does not reflect any cash requirements for such
replacements; and
·
other companies in our industry may calculate these measures or similarly titled measures
differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
