Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On February 29, 2016, Snyder’s-Lance, Inc. (“Snyder’s-Lance” or the ”Company”) completed its previously announced acquisition of Diamond Foods, Inc. (“Diamond”).
The acquisition was completed pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated October 27, 2015, (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Diamond, Snyder’s-Lance, Shark Acquisition Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Snyder’s-Lance (“Merger Sub I”) and Shark Acquisition Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Snyder’s-Lance (“Merger Sub II”), whereby Merger Sub I merged with and into Diamond (the “First Merger”), with Diamond surviving the First Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Snyder’s-Lance and then such surviving entity merged with and into Merger Sub II (the “Second Merger” and together with the First Merger, the “Merger”), with Merger Sub II surviving the Second Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Snyder’s-Lance. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the First Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of the common stock of Diamond, par value $0.001 per share (the “Diamond Common Stock”), was converted into the right to receive (a) an amount of cash equal to $12.50 and (b) 0.775 shares of the common stock, par value $0.83-1/3 per share, of Snyder’s-Lance (the “Snyder’s-Lance Common Stock”), with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares. Generally, outstanding Diamond stock options and other equity awards (other than those held by non-employee directors) were assumed by Snyder’s-Lance, and became options to purchase, or an award for, a number of shares of the Snyder’s-Lance Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of shares of Diamond Common Stock that were subject to such option or award by approximately 1.13575 and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest integer, with the per-share exercise price of the option determined by dividing the per-share exercise price of the option immediately before the First Merger by 1.13575 and rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent, provided, however, that the resulting option or other equity award remains subject to the same vesting schedule or conditions and the same restrictions on exercisability as would have applied to such option or other equity award if not for the Merger.
The description of the Merger Agreement and the related transactions (including, without limitation, the Merger) in this Current Report on Form 8-K does not purport to be complete and is subject, and qualified in its entirety by reference, to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 28, 2015 and incorporated herein by reference.
A copy of the press release issued by Snyder’s-Lance announcing completion of the Merger, dated February 29, 2016, is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On February 29, 2016, Snyder’s-Lance issued a press release with respect to its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended January 2, 2016. A copy of the press release is being

furnished as Exhibit 99.2 hereto. The press release contains forward-looking statements regarding the Company and includes cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially.
The exhibit attached hereto also presents measures not derived in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors as the measures emphasize core on-going operations and are helpful in comparing past and present operating results. The Company uses these measures to evaluate past performance and prospects for future performance. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures by the Company should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the Company’s financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
The information furnished under this Item 2.02 and in Exhibit 99.2 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in a filing.
Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
As previously reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 17, 2015, on December 16, 2015, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) with the lenders party thereto (the “Term Lenders”) and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent. Under the New Credit Agreement, the Term Lenders have committed to provide, subject to certain conditions, (i) senior unsecured term loans in an original aggregate principal amount of $830 million and maturing five years after the funding date thereunder (the “Five Year Term Loans”) and (ii) senior unsecured term loans in an original aggregate principal amount of $300 million and maturing ten years after the funding date thereunder (the “Ten Year Term Loans”). The proceeds of borrowings under the New Credit Agreement are to be used to finance, in part, the cash component of the Merger consideration, to repay indebtedness of Diamond and, if necessary, the Company, and to pay certain fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Merger.
On February 29, 2016, the funding of the loans under the New Credit Agreement occurred.
| Item 5.02 | Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers. |
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and effective immediately following the completion of the Merger, Brian J. Driscoll was appointed to the Board of Directors of the Company.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE
February 29, 2016
Snyder’s-Lance Completes Acquisition of Diamond Foods, Inc.
Charlotte, NC, - February 29, 2016 – Snyder’s-Lance, Inc. (NASDAQ: LNCE) announced today the completion of its acquisition of Diamond Foods, Inc. (NASDAQ: DMND) (“Diamond Foods” or “Diamond”). Per terms of the deal, Snyder’s-Lance has acquired all outstanding shares of Diamond Foods in a cash and stock merger transaction. Under the terms of the agreement, Diamond Foods stockholders receive 0.775 Snyder’s-Lance shares and $12.50 in cash per share of Diamond Foods.
The acquisition creates a powerful, international snack foods company with an innovative and diversified product portfolio. The
addition of leading snack food brands such as Kettle Brand® potato chips, KETTLE® Chips, Pop Secret® popcorn, Emerald®
snack nuts, and Diamond of California® culinary nuts positions Snyder’s-Lance to compete more broadly and with enhanced capabilities.
Each of these brands brings unique strengths to support Snyder’s-Lance’s strategic plan while increasing the Company’s
annualized net revenue to approximately $2.6 billion. The transaction also expands the Company’s overall footprint in “better-for-you”
snacking and increases its natural food channel presence. The Company reaffirmed estimated annualized synergies from cost savings
of $75 million, with approximately $10 million to be re-invested in the company’s growth plans. Snyder’s-Lance expects
the transaction to be immediately accretive to 2016 annualized earnings.
“We are very excited to have completed the acquisition of Diamond Foods and look forward to starting this new chapter in our Company’s history. Diamond has been a powerful industry leader in snack foods with exceptional brands and we’re excited to bring these two great teams together,” said Carl E. Lee, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of Snyder’s-Lance. “With products that deliver exceptional taste, quality and innovation across our entire portfolio, we know the Diamond Foods brands will work perfectly alongside our Snyder’s-Lance lineup. By bringing together the resources and expertise of the Snyder’s-Lance and Diamond teams, we expect to see widening profit margins as we gain synergies and progress though our integration plans over the next 12 to 24 months. With the combined power of our sales teams, we will continue driving new product innovation as we broaden our geographic and
consumer reach. We welcome the Diamond team to the Snyder’s-Lance family and look forward to winning together.”
Estimates on Consolidate Financial Results
Given that the transaction with Diamond Foods closed today, management will provide consolidated estimates after giving full consideration to purchase accounting, a complete review of base business revenues as well as timing expectations for synergy capture from integration. Management expects to provide full year 2016 estimates in early May with Q1 2016 financial results.

Snyder’s-Lance Announces Full Year 2015 Results
Charlotte, NC, - February 29, 2016 – Snyder’s-Lance, Inc. (NASDAQ: LNCE) today announced Full Year, 2015 results. Preliminary unaudited results were previously announced in a press release and conference call on January 27, 2016.

Full Year Financial Summary
| · | Net revenue for the full year 2015 was $1.66 billion, an increase of 2.2% compared to full year 2014 net revenue of $1.62 billion and an increase of 4.1% excluding the impact of the additional 53rd week in 2014. The additional week in 2014 was $30.4 million in net revenue. |
| · | Net income excluding special items for the full year 2015 was $71.9 million, or $1.01 per diluted share, as compared to net income excluding special items of $65.2 million for the full year 2014, or $0.92 per diluted share. |
