Annual cash incentive plan awards (“Incentive Bonuses”) are provided to the NEOs through the Ruddick
Corporation Cash Incentive Plan (the “Cash Incentive Plan”), which was approved by the shareholders at the Annual
Meeting of Shareholders held on February 15, 2007. Awards under the Cash Incentive Plan link incentive pay to
achievement of predetermined, objective performance goals. The Compensation Committee awards potential
Incentive Bonuses to the NEOs based upon each such NEO’s level of responsibility within the Company or at the
operating subsidiary, and the attainment of that potential compensation is based upon the performance of the
Company or such operating subsidiary. In particular, the Compensation Committee has set forth performance
metrics for the Company, Harris Teeter and A&E based on information which the Compensation Committee deems
most important to determining the performance of such entities. The footnotes to the 2011 Cash Incentive Plan
