On September 25, 2025, the Compensation Committee adopted the United Natural Foods, Inc. Executive Severance Plan (the “Severance Plan”), which will provide severance payments and benefits to eligible employees of the Company (“Eligible Associates”) in connection with certain terminations of employment. The Severance Plan will become effective on October 24, 2025 (the “Effective Date”).
