Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

On May 20, 2021, US Foods Holding Corp. (the “Company”) held its annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s common stockholders and the holders of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) voted together as a single class on all matters except that the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock voted as a separate class on the election of Nathaniel H.

The matters voted upon by the Company’s stockholders at the Annual Meeting and the voting results are set forth below. For those matters voted upon by the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, the voting results reflect the 24,714,695 shares of the Company’s common stock into which the shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding as of the record date for the Annual Meeting were convertible.

Proposal 1: Election of Directors

At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s common stockholders and the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class (collectively, the “Stockholders”), elected six director nominees to hold office for one-year terms expiring at the Company’s 2022 annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified.
