Our Company
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1172755/000104746917002208/a2231478z424b5.htm[3/31/2017 4:39:33 PM]

Overview
We manufacture, sell and distribute a diverse portfolio of high quality, shelf-stable and frozen foods across the United States, Canada and Puerto
Rico. Many of our branded products have leading regional or national market shares. Our business is characterized by a stable and growing revenue
base from our existing product portfolio and is augmented by acquisitions of highly attractive, shelf-stable and frozen brands. On a consolidated basis,
our operating income margin is among the highest in the packaged food industry. Additionally, we generate strong cash flows as a result of our
attractive margins, efficient working capital management, modest capital expenditure requirements and tax efficiencies achieved through our
acquisitions. We believe that these characteristics enable our company to be a leader in successfully achieving sales growth for shelf-stable and frozen
branded products and executing an aggressive, disciplined acquisition strategy.
B&G Foods, including our subsidiaries and predecessors, has more than 125 years of experience in the marketplace. We have a well established
sales, marketing and distribution infrastructure that enables us to sell our products in all major U.S. food distribution channels. These channels include
supermarkets, mass merchants, wholesalers, food service accounts, warehouse clubs, non-food outlets, such as drug store chains and dollar stores,
specialty distributors, military commissaries and e-tailers. We have developed and leveraged this infrastructure through our acquisition of more than 45
high quality brands since 1996. Our history includes a number of acquisitions of non-core brands from large, global packaged food companies, such as
the B&M, Underwood, Ac'cent, Joan of Arc, Sa-són Ac'cent and Las Palmas brands from Pillsbury in 1999, the Ortega brand from Nestlé in 2003, the
Grandma's Molasses brand from Cadbury Schweppes in 2006, the Cream of Wheat and Cream of Rice brands from Kraft in 2007, the Mrs. Dash,
Sugar Twin, Baker's Joy, Molly McButter and Static Guard brands from Unilever in 2011, the New York Style, Old London, Devonsheer and JJ Flats
brands from Chipita America in 2012, the Green Giant and Le Sueur brands from General Mills in 2015 and the Spice Islands, Tone's, Durkee and
Weber brands from ACH Food Companies in 2016. Based on our demonstrated record of successful acquisitions, we believe that we are well-
positioned as a strategic acquirer of non-core brands from large, global packaged food companies. We have also successfully acquired businesses from
smaller, private companies, as well as private equity and individual sellers, including most recently Victoria Fine Foods, LLC, including the Victoria
brand, from Huron Capital Partners and certain other sellers in 2016, Spartan Foods of America, Inc., and related entities, including the Mama Mary's
brand, from Linsalata Capital Partners and certain other sellers in 2015; Specialty Brands of America, including the Bear Creek Country Kitchens,
Spring Tree, Cary's, MacDonald's, New York Flatbreads and Canoleo brands, from affiliates of American Capital in 2014; Pirate Brands, including the
Pirate's Booty, Smart Puffs and Original Tings brands, from affiliates of VMG Partners and Driven Capital Management and certain other entities and
individuals in 2013; and the TrueNorth brand from DeMet's Candy Company in 2013.
Our Competitive Strengths
We believe that our success in the packaged food industry and our financial results are due in large part to the following competitive strengths:
Portfolio of high-margin brands with leading market positions in key growth segments. We are focused on operating smaller, high-margin
brands. We have assembled a diverse portfolio of brands
S-1
Table of Contents
consisting primarily of niche or specialty products with strong market positions and high operating income margins. Several of our brands compete in
categories that benefit from positive consumer spending trends. For example, our Green Giant and Le Sueur brands compete in a category well-
positioned to benefit from the health and wellness trend, our Pirate Brands products compete in the better-for-you snacks segment, and our Ortega, Las
Palmas and Sa-són Ac'cent brands compete in the U.S. Mexican and Hispanic market segment. We believe that our diverse product portfolio provides a
strong platform to capture growth in the packaged food industry and to generate strong profitability and significant cash flows while mitigating the
financial impact of competitive pressure or commodity cost increases in any single brand or product.
Well-developed and proven acquisition platform. We believe that our focus branded products, favorable relationships with retailers, operations
and marketing expertise and leading acquisition integration capabilities allow us to be highly successful in growing our product and brand portfolio. We
have acquired and successfully integrated over 45 brands since 1996. We seek to acquire shelf-stable and frozen food brands with leading market
positions, identifiable growth opportunities and high and sustainable margins that will add to our cash flows and return on capital. Our focus on shelf-
stable and frozen branded products allows us to drive attractive profitability and gain efficiencies from our sales and distribution and general and
administrative systems. We believe that our acquisition expertise and ability to integrate businesses quickly lead to successful expansion of acquired
brands and the realization of significant cost synergies. As a result, we believe that we are an acquirer preferred by large, global packaged food
companies for their non-core brands. We have successfully completed acquisitions from sellers such as ACH Food Companies, General Mills, Chipita
America, Unilever, Kraft, Cadbury Schweppes, Nestlé, Pillsbury and Nabisco. Our acquisitions of the Tone's, Weber, Green Giant, Mama Mary's,
Pirate's Booty, Bear Creek Country Kitchens, Mrs. Dash, Cream of Wheat and Ortega brands are examples of our ability to acquire leading shelf-stable
brands with high profitability from large packaged food companies and private investors.
Track record of new product introductions. We have demonstrated the ability to develop new products and product extensions rapidly, and we
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1172755/000104746917002208/a2231478z424b5.htm[3/31/2017 4:39:33 PM]

have been able to deliver these new products to our customers quickly. We have generally been able to develop these products from concept to final
product and deliver these products to our customers' shelves within six months of development. We work directly with certain of our customers to
implement new product introduction in markets where we expect significant growth. For example, new products we have introduced in recent years
include Green Giant Veggie Tots, Green Giant Riced Veggies, Green Giant Mashed Cauliflower, Cream of Wheat To-Go Cups, Crock-Pot Seasoning
Mixes, No Salt Added Joan of Arc Kidney Beans, Bear Creek Country Kitchens Dry Soup Mix Bowls, Ortega Reduced Sodium Taco Seasoning and
Ortega Fiesta Flats Flat Bottom Taco Shells.
Diversity of customers and distribution channels. We sell our products through all major U.S. food distribution channels, including supermarkets,
mass merchants, warehouse clubs, wholesalers, food service accounts, specialty distributors, military commissaries and non-food outlets such as drug
store chains and dollar stores. We have strong, long standing, national relationships with all our major customers. Our customers include Wal-Mart,
Kroger, C&S Wholesale Grocers, Supervalu, Publix, Wakefern, Cracker Barrel, Costco, Target, Sysco and Safeway. The breadth of our multiple-
channel sales and distribution system allows us to capitalize on above-average growth trends within certain of these distribution channels and expand
distribution of acquired brands. Our diverse distribution channels have also contributed to our ability to maintain a broad customer base, with sales to
our ten largest customers accounting for 56.0% of our net sales for fiscal 2016.
Strong cash flow generation. We have generated significant cash flows from our operations. Beginning with fiscal 2012 through fiscal 2016, we
have generated cumulative net cash provided by operating activities of $732.7 million. Our strong financial performance is a result of our attractive
S-2
Table of Contents
operating income margins, efficient working capital management, modest capital expenditure requirements and tax efficiencies achieved through our
acquisitions. Our business continues to be positioned to generate strong cash flows.
Experienced management team with proven track record. Our management team has extensive food industry experience and long standing
experience managing our company in a highly competitive environment. Our chief executive officer has been with us 34 years. Most of our other
executive officers have many years of experience with B&G Foods or otherwise within the industry. Our management team has acquired and integrated
over 45 brands successfully since 1996 and has developed and implemented a business strategy which has enabled us to become a highly successful
manufacturer and distributor of a diverse portfolio of shelf-stable and frozen branded products.
Growth Strategy
Our goal is to continue to increase sales, profitability and cash flows by enhancing our existing portfolio of shelf-stable and frozen branded
products and by capitalizing on our competitive strengths. We intend to implement our growth strategy through the following initiatives:
Expand brand portfolio with acquisitions of complementary branded businesses. We intend to continue expanding our brand portfolio by
acquiring shelf-stable and frozen brands with leading market positions, strong brand equity, distribution expansion opportunities and compelling cost
efficiencies at attractive valuations. We believe we can continue our track record of building and improving acquired brands post-acquisition through
increased management focus and integration into our well-established manufacturing, sales, distribution and administrative infrastructure. We believe
we are well-positioned as a preferred acquirer to capitalize on the trend of large packaged food companies divesting smaller, non-core, yet profitable,
brands to increase their focus on their large, global brands.
Continue to develop new products and deliver them to market quickly. We intend to continue to leverage our new product development capability
and our sales and distribution breadth to introduce new products and product extensions. Our management has demonstrated the ability to launch new
products quickly. Examples of the new products we have introduced in recent years are listed above under "Our Competitive Strengths--Track record
of new product introductions."
Leverage our multiple-channel sales and distribution system. Our multiple-channel sales and distribution system allows us to capitalize on
growth opportunities through the quick and efficient introduction of new and acquired products to our customers. We continue to strengthen our sales
and distribution system in order to realize distribution economies of scale and provide an efficient, national platform for new products by expanding
distribution channels, enlarging geographic reach, more effectively managing trade spending, improving packaging and introducing line extensions.
Continue to focus on higher growth distribution channels and customers. We sell our products through all major U.S. food distribution channels,
including supermarkets, mass merchants, wholesalers, food service accounts, warehouse clubs, specialty distributors, military commissaries and non-
food outlets such as drug store chains and dollar stores. Our distribution breadth allows us to benefit from high growth channels such as mass merchants,
warehouse and club stores, specialty distributors, convenience stores, drug stores, e-tailers, vending machines and food services. We intend to continue
to create products specific to our higher growth distribution channels and customers.

Summary of the Offering
Issuer
B&G Foods, Inc.
Notes Offered
$500,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of 5.25% senior notes due 2025.
Maturity Date
April 1, 2025.
Interest Payment Dates
April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing October 1, 2017.
Guarantees
Our obligations under the notes will be jointly and severally and fully and
unconditionally guaranteed on a senior basis by all of our existing and future
domestic subsidiaries. For a discussion of the risks relating to the guarantees,
see "Risk Factors--Although the notes are referred to as "senior" notes, your
right to receive payments on these notes is effectively subordinated to the
rights of our existing and future secured creditors. Further, the guarantees of
these notes are effectively subordinated to all the guarantors' existing and
future secured indebtedness." and "--Federal and state fraudulent transfer
laws permit a court to void the notes and the guarantees, and, if that occurs,
you may not receive any payments on the notes or the guarantees."
Ranking
The notes and the subsidiary guarantees will be our and the guarantors'
general unsecured obligations and:

· will be effectively junior in right of payment to all of our and the
guarantors' secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets
pledged to secure those obligations;

· will be effectively junior in right of payment to all existing and future
indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee
the notes;

· will be pari passu in right of payment to all of our and the guarantors'
existing and future unsecured senior debt, including the 2021 notes; and

· will be senior in right of payment to all of our and the guarantors' future
subordinated debt.

As of December 31, 2016, after giving effect to the completion of this
offering and the use of proceeds therefrom, we would have had
$640.1 million principal amount of outstanding senior secured debt and
$1.2 billion principal amount of outstanding senior unsecured debt. In
addition, as of December 31, 2016, after giving effect to the completion of
this offering and the use of proceeds therefrom, we would have had the ability
to borrow up to $498.0 million under our revolving credit facility (net of
$2.0 million reserved for issued and outstanding letters of credit), which
would be effectively senior in right of payment to the notes.
