Our subsidiary, The Hillshire Brands Company (formerly named Sara Lee Corporation), is a party to a consolidation of cases filed by
individual complainants with the Republic of the Philippines, Department of Labor and Employment and the National Labor Relations
Commission (NLRC) from 1998 through July 1999. The complaint is filed against Aris Philippines, Inc., Sara Lee Corporation, Sara Lee
Philippines, Inc., Fashion Accessories Philippines, Inc., and Attorney Cesar C. Cruz (collectively, the “respondents”).
The complaint primarily
alleges unfair labor practices due to the termination of manufacturing operations in the Philippines by Aris Philippines, Inc., a former
subsidiary of The Hillshire Brands Company. In 2006, the arbitrator ruled against the respondents and awarded the complainants PHP
3,453,664,710 (approximately US $76 million ) in damages and fees. The respondents appealed this ruling and it was subsequently set aside
by the NLRC in December 2006. However, in a decision dated June 4, 2014, the Supreme Court of the Philippines set aside the NLRC’s
December 2006 ruling as premature. The parties have filed numerous appeals, motions for reconsideration and petitions for review in these
cases as to the merits of complainants’ claims and the appropriate amount of an appeal bond to be posted by the respondents. Certain of these
appeals and motions remain pending before the NLRC and Supreme Court of the Philippines. On June 23, 2014, without admitting liability,
The Hillshire Brands Company filed a motion requesting that the Supreme Court of the Philippines order dismissal with prejudice of all claims
against it and its predecessors-in-interest in exchange for payments allocated by the court among the complainants in an amount not to exceed
PHP 342,287,800 (approximately US $7 million ).
