On October 5, 2026, Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc. (“we,” “our” or “Lamb Weston”) entered into a transition and separation agreement (the “Transition Agreement”) with Marc Schroeder, our President, International, in connection with his resignation and to ensure a smooth transition. Under the Transition Agreement, Mr. Schroeder will continue to serve as President, International through December 31, 2026, and remain with Lamb Weston in an advisory capacity until February 15, 2027. Under the Transition Agreement, the terms of which were approved by our Compensation and Human Capital Committee, Mr. Schroeder agreed to a general release of claims with respect to Lamb Weston and will be subject to non-compete, non-solicitation and confidentiality provisions. The non-compete and non-solicitation restrictions will be in force for one year after his separation date.
Under the Transition Agreement, except for his supplemental incentive stock option awards granted in February 2026, Mr. Schroeder will vest in a prorated portion of his Lamb Weston fiscal 2025 and 2026 equity awards based on his service from the grant date to his separation date. Payment of Mr. Schroeder’s performance shares, if any, will be subject to the Compensation and Human Capital Committee’s final performance certification at the end of the applicable performance cycle for each performance share award. In addition, Mr. Schroeder will have until the third anniversary of his separation date to exercise his outstanding stock options. The Transition Agreement also provides that Mr. Schroeder will remain eligible for an annual incentive award for the 2027 fiscal year based on actual performance and prorated for the period from the start of fiscal year 2027 through his separation date. Mr. Schroeder is not entitled to any cash severance payments in connection with his separation from Lamb Weston. The foregoing description of the Transition Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Transition Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
