PROXY STATEMENT
 
     The accompanying proxy is solicited by the Board of Directors of Performance Food Group Company for use at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Company to be held on May 15, 2007 at 10:00 a.m. eastern daylight time at the Company’s offices located at 12500 West Creek Parkway, Richmond, Virginia (the “Annual Meeting”), and any adjournments thereof, notice of which is attached hereto.
     The purposes of the Annual Meeting are to elect two Class II directors and one Class I director and to transact such other business as may properly be brought before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment thereof.
     A shareholder who signs and returns a proxy may revoke the same at any time before the authority granted thereby is exercised by attending the Annual Meeting and electing to vote in person, by filing with the Secretary of the Company a written revocation, by duly executing a proxy bearing a later date or by casting a new vote by toll-free telephone or the internet. Unless so revoked, the shares represented by the proxy will be voted at the Annual Meeting. Where a choice is specified on the proxy, the shares represented thereby will be voted in accordance with such specifications. If no specification is made, such shares will be voted FOR the election of the three director nominees.
     The Board of Directors knows of no other matters that are to be brought to a vote at the Annual Meeting. If any other matter does come before the Annual Meeting, however, the persons appointed in the proxy or their substitutes will vote as directed by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors.
     The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on March 19, 2007 as the record date for the Annual Meeting. Only record holders of the Company’s common stock, $.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), at the close of business on that date will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. On the record date, the Company had outstanding 35,170,748 shares of Common Stock. Holders of the Common Stock will be entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock so held, which may be given in person or by duly authorized proxy.
     The representation in person or by proxy of at least a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote is necessary to provide a quorum at the meeting. Abstentions and “non-votes” are counted as present in determining whether the quorum requirement is satisfied. Because directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the holders of the Common Stock represented and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, elections to withhold authority to vote for a director and “non-votes” are not considered in the election. Any other matters that may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment thereof shall be approved if the votes cast favoring the action exceed the votes cast opposing the action. Abstentions and “non-votes” will have no effect on the outcome of the vote. A “non-vote” occurs when a nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner votes on one proposal, but does not vote on another proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary voting power and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner.
     This Proxy Statement, Proxy Card and the Company’s Annual Report to Shareholders have been mailed or made available electronically on or about April 4, 2007 to all shareholders of record at the close of business on March 19, 2007. The cost of solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Company, including expenses in connection

with preparing, assembling and mailing this Proxy Statement. Such solicitation will be made by mail and may also be made by the Company’s regular officers or employees personally or by telephone or telecopy. The Company may reimburse brokers, custodians and nominees for their expenses in sending proxies and proxy materials to beneficial owners.

PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
     The Company’s Restated Charter classifies the Board of Directors into three classes, each class to be as nearly equal in number as possible, designated Class I, Class II and Class III. At each annual meeting, directors of the class whose term of office expires in that year are elected for a three-year term. The term of two Class II directors, Robert C. Sledd and Mary C. Doswell, will expire upon the election and qualification of new directors at this Annual Meeting. In addition, the term of Steven L. Spinner, the Company’s president and chief executive officer, will expire at this Annual Meeting. Mr. Spinner was elected to the Board of Directors effective October 1, 2006, by the Board of Directors after being recommended by the Company’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The terms of the Class III and the Class I directors other than Mr. Spinner will expire at the annual meetings in 2008 and 2009, respectively. If Mr. Spinner is elected at the Annual Meeting his term will expire at the Company’s annual meeting in 2009.
     The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has approved the nomination of, and the Board of Directors has designated, Robert C. Sledd and Mary C.

All of these nominees are currently directors of the Company, and each of the Class II directors was elected by the shareholders. Mr. Spinner has not been previously elected by the shareholders.

EXECUTIVE AND DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
Overview of Compensation Program and Role of the Compensation Committee
     The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors has the responsibility for approving compensation policies designed to ensure that management is rewarded appropriately for its contributions to Company growth and profitability and that the executive officer compensation strategy supports the Company’s objectives and shareholder interests. The Compensation Committee seeks to enable the Company to attract and retain high quality leadership and to assure that the executive officers of the Company are compensated in a manner consistent with shareholder interests, the policies adopted by the Compensation Committee, internal equity considerations, competitive practice and the requirements of appropriate regulatory bodies. All of the members of the Compensation Committee are independent directors, and none of these persons has at any time been an officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
Goals of the Company’s Compensation Policies
     A principal goal of the Compensation Committee is to compensate employees fairly for services performed. To that end, the Company has historically established a combination of base salary with a mix of short and long-term incentives designed to recognize outstanding efforts by rewarding performance at or above established goals. The Compensation Committee also seeks to provide an appropriate balance between cash and equity awards to increase executive officers’ loyalty to the Company and align executive officers’ interests with those of the shareholders — with the ultimate goal of increasing shareholder value over the long term.
Role of Executive Officers in Compensation Decisions
     The Compensation Committee makes all compensation decisions for the Company’s executive officers (which include all the named executive officers identified in the Summary Compensation Table below) and makes all equity awards (based upon recommendations received from the executive officers) to other officers and employees of the Company. Decisions regarding the non-equity compensation of other key employees is made by the Chief Executive Officer and reviewed with the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee annually evaluates the Chief Executive Officer’s performance and discusses in detail with the Chief Executive Officer his review of the other executive officers’ performance.
Establishing Compensation for Executive Officers
     With these goals in mind, the Compensation Committee has designed a program to provide executive officers annual and long-term cash and non-cash compensation, a significant portion of which is designed to reward the executive officers for achieving goals established by the Committee. The Compensation Committee has engaged Mercer Human Resource Consulting, an outside human resources consulting firm, to review from time to time the total compensation program for the Company’s executive officers. Mercer provides the Compensation Committee with relevant market and other data and alternatives to consider when making compensation decisions. In making its compensation decisions, the Company compares the elements of its compensation programs against a group of comparable companies in the same or similar businesses, generally foodservice distribution or other distribution businesses. The companies comprising the peer group are:
         
 
  Arrow Electronics Inc.   Owens & Minor Inc.
 
  Avent Inc.   Henry Schein Inc.
 
  C.H. Robinson Worldwide Inc.   Supervalu Inc.
 
  Genuine Parts Co.   Synnex Corp.
 
  Grainger (W.W.) Inc.   Sysco Corp.
 
  Ingram Micro Inc.   Tech Data Corp.
 
  CNF Inc.   United Stationers Inc.
 
  Nash Finch Inc.   YRC Worldwide Inc.

The Compensation Committee uses both information provided by Mercer and recommendations from the Company’s Chairman and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer to determine the appropriate level and mix of total compensation, including incentive compensation.
Components of 2006 Compensation for Executive Officers
     For the fiscal year ended December 30, 2006, the principal components of compensation for executive officers were:
     Base Salary. The Company provides executive officers with their base salary to compensate them for services provided during the year. The Compensation Committee generally establishes base salaries for the executive officers on an annual basis at a meeting of the Compensation Committee held in the first quarter of the year. In general, base salaries are targeted to be near or just below the mid-point of the peer group, which the Company believes reflects its focus on linking compensation more closely to performance. The Compensation Committee considers not only the market data provided by Mercer in establishing base salary but also the executive officer’s performance and the level of base salary relative to other executive officers. Taking all of these factors into account, the Committee approved base salaries for our named executive officers in the following amounts:
                 
Name   2006 Base Salary (1)   2005 Base Salary
Steven L. Spinner
  $ 600,000     $ 420,000  
Robert C. Sledd
  $ 660,000     $ 635,000  
Thomas Hoffman
  $ 340,000     $ 320,000  
John D. Austin
  $ 340,000     $ 325,000  
Joseph Paterak, Jr.
  $ 293,000     $ 275,000  
Charlotte Perkins
  $ 240,000     $ 210,000  
 
(1)   Effective February 27, 2006. Mr. Spinner’s base salary became effective October 1, 2006, when he began serving as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.
     Performance-based cash incentive compensation. To closely align an executive officer’s compensation to the Company’s goals, the Compensation Committee believes that a substantial portion of an executive officer’s compensation should be incentive-based. Therefore, the Compensation Committee has implemented a cash incentive program that provides executive officers with the opportunity to earn cash incentive compensation for the achievement of annual goals as well as for the achievement of goals set for an intermediate period of two years. After consulting with the Company’s executive officers regarding the Company’s expected performance and operating goals for coming years, the Compensation Committee establishes a minimum level of operating earnings or earnings per share for the Company to achieve for any incentive cash compensation to be paid. In addition to this overall requirement, the Compensation Committee establishes a series of quantitative and qualitative performance measures for cash incentive compensation for each executive officer, which, if achieved, will allow the executive officer to earn a specified portion of their cash incentive compensation opportunity. Given these targeted cash incentive compensation amounts, in general an executive officer would have the opportunity to earn cash incentive compensation equal to an additional percent, which varies by officer, of his or her salary upon the attainment of all the performance objectives set forth for that individual. Those amounts could be increased upon the achievement of performance which substantially exceeds the performance goals. Information with respect to the amount of cash incentive plan compensation for the applicable two-year period and one-year period is set forth in Note 3 to the Summary Compensation Table. Each named executive officer’s cash incentive plan compensation for the one- and two-year periods was tied to specified Company-wide operating results. In addition, Mr. Spinner’s performance criteria for the one- and two-year periods and Mr. Paterak’s performance criteria for the one-year period included achieving specified broadline segment operating results and maintaining an effective internal control environment. Mr. Hoffman’s performance criteria for the one- and two-year periods included achieving certain customized segment operating results and maintaining an effective internal control environment. Mr. Austin’s performance criteria for the one- and two-year periods included achieving certain departmental-specific objectives and maintaining an effective internal control environment. Ms. Perkins’ performance criteria for the one-year period included achieving certain departmental-specific objectives and maintaining an effective internal control environment. Mr. Paterak and Ms. Perkins were not eligible for incentive compensation for the two-year period ended December 30, 2006. In each case, no incentive compensation was payable unless the Company achieved a specified threshold level of earnings.

     Long-term equity incentive compensation. The Company’s equity-based awards program encourages executive officers to focus on long-term Company performance and more closely aligns the interest of executive officers with shareholders by increasing their stake in the Company. All equity-based awards are made pursuant to the provisions of incentive plans approved by the Company’s shareholders. Equity-based awards include a combination of stock option grants and grants of restricted stock. The Company values stock option grants by calculating their Black-Scholes value at the date of grant and the value of restricted stock by calculating its aggregate market value as of the date of grant.
     The Compensation Committee generally establishes a four-year cliff-vesting period for both stock options and restricted stock to encourage executive officers’ loyalty and continued service to the Company. Based upon a review of the peer group, the Compensation Committee believes that the total direct compensation (which includes the value of equity-based awards) is still below the median of the peer group. Nevertheless, in establishing the level of equity-based awards, the Compensation Committee has noted that the Company has an equity overhang level (the percentage of shares potentially issuable pursuant to incentive plans) approximating the fiftieth percentile of the peer group. Over the last two years, the Compensation Committee has determined that it is appropriate to offer a group of key employees including executive officers the choice of the precise percentage (within a specified range) of his or her equity-based award which would consist of options on the one hand or restricted stock on the other. In making the choice, the executive officer is generally offered the opportunity to select one share of restricted stock or three stock options.
     During April 2006, non-qualified options for the purchase of the Company’s common stock and restricted shares of the Company’s common stock were granted to our named executive officers, pursuant to the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan, as follows:
                         
    Shares Subject to Time-Based           Number of Time-Based
Name   Vesting Option Grant   Exercise Price (1)   Vesting Restricted Shares
Steven L. Spinner
    8,250     $ 31.25       8,250  
Robert C. Sledd
    38,624     $ 31.25       4,292  
Thomas Hoffman
    14,400     $ 31.25       1,600  
John D. Austin
    15,377     $ 31.25       1,709  
Joseph Paterak, Jr.
    3,000     $ 31.25       3,000  
Charlotte Perkins
    2,625     $ 31.25       2,625  
 
(1)   The exercise price per share is equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant.
In addition, in August 2006, the Committee awarded Mr. Spinner the option to purchase 50,000 shares upon his selection to succeed Mr. Sledd as Chief Executive Officer. The exercise price of $26.05 per share was equal to fair market value on the date of grant.
     Policies with respect to making equity-based awards. It is the policy of the Compensation Committee to award eligible employees including named executive officers equity-based awards one time a year. That award is generally made during the first quarter or early in the second quarter of the year after the Compensation Committee has had the opportunity to review full year results for the prior year and consider the Company’s anticipated results for the succeeding year. Prior to this time, the Compensation Committee has also given the executive officer the opportunity to express his or her interest in the mix of restricted shares and options to be received. The Compensation Committee may make an exception to this general policy in the event that a new executive officer is hired or an executive officer receives a promotion. With respect to the date of awards, the Compensation Committee strives to ensure the grants are made following the public release of important information such as year-end results or anticipated results for the succeeding year.
Retirement Plans
     The Company believes that an important aspect of attracting and retaining qualified individuals to serve as executive officers involves providing methods for those individuals to save for retirement. Some of those methods are available to the Company’s employees generally, and some are available to a smaller group recognizing the limitations on amounts that may be saved under the Company’s qualified plans included in the Employee Savings and Stock Ownership Plan.

Table of Contents

     Employee Savings and Stock Ownership Plan. All employees of the Company who complete sixty days of service are eligible to participate in this plan. This plan is a qualified plan subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). The Plan has two components: an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “ESOP”) and a Defined Contribution Plan (the “401(k) Plan”). In addition, this plan provides for a discretionary profit sharing component pursuant to which the Company may allocate contributions to participants that meet certain eligibility requirements. All shares of Company common stock held by the 401(k) Plan and subject to the ESOP component were allocated to participants prior to 2006 and no new participants in the ESOP component of the 401(k) Plan can be added. With respect to the 401(k) component of the 401(k) Plan, participants may elect to contribute specified percentages of their salary subject to an overall maximum of $11,837 in 2006. In 2006, the Company matched 200% of the first 1% of participant contributions, 100% of the next 1% of participant contributions and 50% of the next 2% of participant contributions. Also in 2007, the Company approved and recorded a discretionary profit-sharing allocation in the amount of $593 to each participant in that component of the 401(k) Plan based on the Company’s consolidated pre-tax profits during the 2006 fiscal year. Participants may direct their contributions to one or more of twelve investment options available to them.
     Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan. In 2003, the Board of Directors, acting on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, adopted the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “SERP”) in which certain key employees of the Company, including the executive officers (other than Mr. Sledd, who voluntarily elected not to participate), could participate as determined by the Compensation Committee. Under the terms of the SERP as in effect in 2006, the Compensation Committee authorized the Company to contribute 5% of each participant’s salary and bonus to a participant’s SERP account and for every 1% that the Company achieves over 95% of a performance target established by the Compensation Committee during a fiscal year, an additional 1% of the participant’s salary and bonus. The maximum contribution that can be made for any participant for any fiscal year is 20% of the participant’s salary and bonus. For 2006, the Company contributed 5% of each participant’s salary and bonus to the account of each participating executive officer, including the named executive officers (other than Mr. Sledd, who voluntarily elected not to participate). Contributions prior to 2006 vest upon six years of service. Contributions in and after 2006 vest upon ten years of service. On November 17, 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors approved certain amendments to the SERP which:
    change the contribution formula for contributions credited to a participant’s account for the period beginning on or after December 31, 2006 to eliminate the 5% base contribution and enhance the performance contribution under the SERP so that (1) a 2% performance contribution would be earned for each 1% of targeted earnings before interest and taxes achieved between 95% and 100% of the targeted amount, and (2) an additional 1% contribution would be earned for each 1% of targeted earnings before interest and taxes achieved in excess of 100% of the targeted amount, up to 110%;
 
    change the vesting schedule for contributions credited for periods beginning on or after December 31, 2006 such that 50% of such contributions vest after five years of service, with the remainder vesting 10% per year for each year of service thereafter; and
 
    change the timing of the payment of benefits under the Plan for participants who terminate participation or employment prior to retirement at age 65.
More information with respect to the SERP is set forth on page 20 hereof.
     Nonqualified Deferral of Compensation. The Company also affords key employees including executive officers an opportunity to save for retirement by electing to defer up to 100% of their cash compensation. The only direct compensatory aspect of this plan for the named executive officers is that participants in this plan are afforded the opportunity to select hypothetical investment alternatives tied to publicly available mutual funds as well as a fixed rate of return with an interest crediting rate of 7% currently. The amounts available for payment under this plan are increased or decreased as a result of new deferrals and the performance of these investment alternatives.
Certain Payments to Named Executive Officers upon Termination of Employment
     The Company does not have in effect employment agreements with any of its named executive officers. However, pursuant to the Company’s Senior Management Severance Plan, which is described in more detail on page 25, the Company provides severance benefits to executive officers who are terminated without cause based upon their length of service with the Company. In return for receiving such benefits, the former employee must agree to certain confidentiality, non-competition and non-solicitation provisions for the benefit of the Company as well as provide a general release to the Company.

Table of Contents

     In addition, the Company has in effect for its named executive officers “Change in Control” Agreements. Those agreements are “double-trigger agreements,” which generally provide that if an employee is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason within a specified period of time following a change in control, then the employee will receive 2.99 times his highest base salary, either before or after the change in control and highest bonus for the three fiscal years prior to the change in control or after the change in control. In addition, the Change in Control Agreement provides for the payment to the executive of an amount necessary to reimburse the executive on an after-tax basis for any excise tax payable under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code in connection with the change in control. Provisions in the Senior Management Severance Plan provide that payments under that plan will not be duplicated by payments under the Change in Control Agreements.
     Given the fact that the Company does not have employment agreements with its named executive officers, the Compensation Committee believes that the protections afforded in the Senior Management Severance Plan and the Change in Control Agreements are reasonable and are an important element in retaining executive officers.
     Decisions Made by the Compensation Committee upon the Election of Steven L. Spinner as Chief Executive Officer
     During 2006, Robert C. Sledd communicated his decision to step down as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The Board of Directors elected Steven L. Spinner to succeed Mr. Sledd as Chief Executive Officer. At the time of his election, the Compensation Committee determined to increase Mr. Spinner’s base salary and to award him an option to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at the fair market value on the date of grant. Because the change in Chief Executive Officer was to take place late in the year, the Compensation Committee did not make any change to Mr. Spinner’s cash incentive plan criteria for 2006. In addition, the Compensation Committee determined the ongoing compensation for Mr. Sledd who remains as Chairman of the Board and an employee of the Company but will no longer serve as an executive officer.
Compensation Decisions for 2007
     In March 2007, the Compensation Committee established base salaries for the named executive officers other than Mr. Sledd and criteria for one-year cash incentive plan compensation. During March 2007, the Committee also made awards of stock appreciation rights and restricted stock to named executive officers. In making the 2007 equity awards, the Compensation Committee made two changes to the way in which it administered the Company’s long-term equity award program for named executive officers. First, the Compensation Committee determined that key employees, including the named executive officers, should no longer have any discretion over the mix of their awards. Second, the Compensation Committee determined that instead of awarding options, it would award stock settled stock appreciation rights. The Company made this determination for several reasons. The Compensation Committee believed that it would be more cost effective and efficient to award stock settled stock appreciation rights with a cap on their ultimate value. Like an option, a stock appreciation right is designed to reward increases in the Company’s share price over the exercise price. However, with a stock appreciation right, the Compensation Committee can impose a cap on the aggregate value awarded under the right. In the case of current awards, the right will not have any value in excess of a $60 per share increase in the Company’s share price over the grant price. The Compensation Committee believed that this award will still have a meaningful motivating effect for the award recipients and at the same time significantly reduce the cost impact of the award on the Company’s net income. The Compensation Committee also considered that awarding stock appreciation rights, which will be settled in shares of the Company’s common stock, will offer increased administrative ease since in some cases no cash is required to be exchanged upon exercise and because these stock appreciation rights will generally be less dilutive than options when exercised since shares are issued for the net value of the award.

(2)   The grant price per share is equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant.
Tax and Accounting Implications
     Deductibility of Executive Compensation. As part of its role, the Compensation Committee reviews and considers the deductibility of executive compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue code, which provides that the Company may not deduct compensation of more than $1,000,000 that is paid to certain individuals. The Company believes that compensation paid under the incentive plans are generally fully deductible for federal income tax purposes. However, in certain situations, the Compensation Committee may approve compensation that will not meet these requirements in order to ensure competitive levels of total compensation for its executive officers.
     Nonqualified Deferred Compensation. On October 22, 2004, the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 was signed into law, changing the tax rules applicable to nonqualified deferred compensation arrangements. While the final regulations have not become effective yet, the Company believes it is operating in good faith compliance with the statutory provisions which were effective January 1, 2005.
     Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Beginning on January 1, 2006, the Company began accounting for stock-based payments including its Stock Option Program, Long-Term Stock Grant Program, Restricted Stock Program and Stock Award Program in accordance with the requirements of FASB Statement 123(R).
Compensation Committee Report

2006 SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE
     The table below summarizes the compensation paid or accrued by the Company during the fiscal year ended December 30, 2006 for (i) the Company’s current Chief Executive Officer; (ii) the Company’s Chief Executive Officer from January 1, 2006 through September 30, 2006; (iii) the Company’s Chief Financial Officer; and (iv) the three highest paid executive officers of the Company whose total compensation exceeded $100,000 for fiscal 2006 (collectively, the “Named Executive Officers”). The Company has not entered into any employment agreements with any of the Named Executive Officers. When setting total compensation for each of the Named Executive Officers, the Compensation Committee reviews tally sheets which show the executive’s current compensation, including equity and non-equity based compensation.
     The Named Executive Officers were not entitled to receive payments which would be characterized as “Bonus” payments for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2006. Amounts listed under the column titled “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation”, were determined by the Compensation Committee at its February 2007 meeting and, to the extent not deferred by the executive, were paid out shortly thereafter.
     Based on the fair value of equity awards granted to Named Executive Officers in fiscal 2006 and the base salary of the Named Executive Officers, “Salary” accounted for approximately 52% of the total compensation of the Named Executive Officers, cash incentive compensation accounted for approximately 19% of the total compensation of the Named Executive Officers, equity incentive compensation accounted for approximately 24% of the total compensation of the Named Executive Officers and benefits accounted for approximately 5% of the total compensation of the Named Executive Officers.

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan
     In November 2003, the Board of Directors adopted the SERP in which certain key executives, including the Named Executive Officers (other than Mr. Sledd who voluntarily elected not to participate), could participate beginning in fiscal 2004, as determined by the Compensation Committee. Pursuant to the terms of the SERP, the Compensation Committee authorized the Company to contribute 5% of each participant’s salary and bonus to a participant’s SERP account and for every 1% that the Company achieves over 95% of a performance target established by the Compensation Committee during the fiscal year, an additional 1% of the participant’s salary and bonus will be added to such participant’s account. The maximum contribution that could be made for any participant for any fiscal year is 20% of the participant’s salary and bonus. Under the original terms of the SERP, as described above, a participant vested in his or her SERP account at a rate of 20% per year, beginning after the second year of service with the Company or any acquired company, and will be fully vested after six years of service, provided that the participant will vest in the entire account upon his or her death or upon a Change in Control (as defined in the SERP) or, if determined by the Compensation Committee, upon a Potential Change in Control (as defined in the SERP) of the Company. Under the original terms of the SERP, if a participant’s employment with the Company is terminated for Cause (as defined in the SERP) or if the participant becomes employed within one year following his or her termination of employment with an entity that is deemed to be in competition with this Company, a participant will forfeit his or her entire interest in the SERP. For 2006, the Company contributed 5% of each participant’s salary and bonus to the account of each participating executive, including the Named Executive Officers (other than Mr. Sledd who voluntarily elected not to participate). Account balances are credited with interest at an interest crediting rate of 8%.
     In November 2006, the Compensation Committee recommended, and the Board of Directors approved, amendments to the SERP which:
    change the contribution formula for contributions credited to a participant’s account for the period beginning on or after December 31, 2006 to eliminate the 5% base contribution and enhance the performance contribution under the SERP so that (1) a 2% performance contribution would be earned for each 1% of targeted earnings before interest and taxes achieved between 95% and 100% of the targeted amount, and (2) an additional 1% contribution would be earned for each 1% of targeted earnings before interest and taxes achieved in excess of 100% of the targeted amount, up to 110%;
 
    change the vesting schedule for contributions credited for periods beginning on or after December 31, 2006 such that 50% of such contributions vest after five years of service, with the remainder vesting 10% per year for each year of service thereafter; and
 
    change the timing of the payment of benefits under the Plan for participants who terminate participation or employment prior to retirement at age 65.
     Under the terms of the SERP, as amended, benefits are payable to a participant upon his or her early, normal or delayed retirement, in a lump sum on the later of sixty days following the January 1 following such retirement date or the first day of the seventh month following such retirement date. Payment of disability retirement benefits shall commence sixty days after the disability retirement date and must be made by the later of December 31 of the calendar year in which payment was scheduled or the 15th day of the third month following the scheduled payment date. Payment of the pre-retirement death benefit shall commence sixty days after the participant’s death and must be made by the later of December 31 of the calendar year in which payment was scheduled or the 15th day of the third month following the scheduled payment date. Payment of the vested portion of a participant who was removed from participation or who terminated employment prior to reaching his or her retirement date shall commence sixty days after what would have been the participant’s normal retirement date and must be made by the later of sixty days following the January 1 following what would have been the participant’s normal retirement date. If the participant is a key employee (as determined under Section 409A of the Code), any payments made on account of retirement or termination of employment may not be made earlier than the first day of the month following the six-month anniversary of such participant’s termination of employment or retirement.

Executive Deferred Compensation Plan
     Pursuant to the Company’s Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, certain members of the Company’s senior management, including the Named Executive Officers, may defer up to 100% of their cash compensation, including their base salary and their non-equity incentive plan compensation, using either a flat dollar amount, a specified percentage of their compensation or any other portion of their compensation that the plan administrator shall determine may be clearly specified and reasonably administrable. Credits are made to each participant’s account monthly.
     Each participant may allocate his or her contributions for years prior to 2005 to a deferred compensation account and for years beginning in 2005 to certain additional accounts. The deferred compensation account is payable to the participant upon the participant’s election. The additional accounts provide the participant with flexibility to receive payments as of a specified date, or over a period of time ranging from two to ten years, including the period during which the participant is actively employed. Subject to the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, these additional accounts are then payable on benefit dates selected by the participant. Participants are also permitted to make irrevocable alternate elections at the time an account is initially established.

21


Table of Contents

These alternate elections allow for a participant to receive a lump sum distribution in the event the participant terminates employment within two years of a change in control or his or her employment is terminated involuntarily or voluntarily following a reduction in compensation, responsibility or work location.
     Each of the deferred compensation account and the additional accounts may have different investment and payment options. Each account is credited with additional amounts to represent hypothetical investment earnings (including losses) on the amounts previously deferred. These hypothetical investment earnings are accrued commencing on the date of each credit made pursuant to a deferral and continue to accrue until the distribution of benefits pursuant to the agreement. Additions credited to represent hypothetical investment earnings are equal to earnings on investment funds selected by the participant from a list of available hypothetical investment alternatives offered under the plan. In addition to the investment fund alternatives offered under the plan, which represent publicly available mutual funds, participants may also elect to allocate a portion of their account balance to a fixed rate of return investment option that currently offers an interest crediting rate of 7%. Currently, a participant may only allocate up to 50% of his or her deferrals to this fixed rate return option. A participant may make changes to his or her hypothetical investment elections for all choices except the 7% fixed rate option, but deferrals cannot be transferred into or out of the fixed rate option.
     The Company funds its obligation under this deferred compensation plan though company-owned life insurance, for which the Company is the beneficiary, and through which assets are invested in publicly-available mutual fund investment alternatives that attempt to mirror the hypothetical fund choices offered to the participants.
     The hypothetical investment options available to a participant under the Company’s Executive Deferred Compensation Plan and their annual rate of return, net of investment management fees and mortality and expense charges, for the calendar year ended December 31, 2006 were as follows:

Change in Control Agreements
     The Company has entered into agreements with certain of its key executives (the “Agreement”), including each of the named executive officers, which provide for certain payments to be made to the executive if, within two years following a Change in Control (as defined below) of the Company, his or her employment with the Company is terminated for any reason other than Good Cause (as defined below) or if the executive terminates his or her employment with the Company for Good Reason (as defined below). Upon termination, the executive is entitled to receive (i) 299.9% of his or her base salary (defined as the higher of the executive’s annual base salary prior to the Change in Control or the executive’s highest annual base salary in effect after the Change in Control but prior to termination), (ii) 299.9% of his or her bonus (based upon the executive’s highest bonus for the three fiscal years prior to the Change in Control or highest bonus after the Change in Control, whichever is higher) and (iii) an amount necessary to reimburse the executive on an after-tax basis for any excise tax payable under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code in connection with the Change in Control. In accordance with the terms of the Agreement, as amended as of February 26, 2003, one-third of the amounts payable pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) must be paid in equal semi-monthly installments over the twelve months following termination and the balance in a lump sum payment made within five business days after the expiration of the twelve-month period. Amounts payable pursuant to clause (iii) above must be paid within thirty days following termination of employment. Alternatively, the Agreement, as amended, provides that the key executive may elect to receive all of the amounts payable pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above within thirty days following termination of employment. In addition to the payments described above, the key executive and his or her spouse and family will be covered by all health, dental, disability, survivor income and life insurance plans of the Company for the twelve-month period following the termination of service unless the key executive and his spouse and family are eligible for coverage under any new employer’s plan.
     For purpose of the Agreement “Change in Control” means:
  (1)   the acquisition of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock by any person, entity or group (as used in Section 13(d)(3) and Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act;
 
  (2)   the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation or other entity, or any share exchange or similar transaction involving the Company and another corporation or other entity, if as a result of such transaction the persons who owned at

23


Table of Contents

      least a majority of the Company’s common stock prior to the consummation of the transaction do not own at least a majority of the common stock of the surviving entity after consummation of the transaction;
 
  (3)   the sale of all, or substantially all of the Company’s assets; or
 
  (4)   any change in the composition of the Board of Directors such that persons who at the beginning of any period of up to two years constituted at least a majority of the Board of Directors, or persons whose nomination was approved by that majority cease to constitute at least a majority of the Board of Directors at the end of such period.
     For purposes of the Agreement “Good Cause” shall be deemed to exist if, and only after the occurrence of a Change in Control:
  (1)   the key executive engages in material acts or omissions constituting dishonesty, breach of fiduciary obligation or intentional wrongdoing or malfeasance which are demonstrably injurious to the Company;
 
  (2)   the key executive is convicted of a violation involving fraud or dishonesty; or
 
  (3)   the key executive materially fails to satisfy the conditions and requirements of employment with the Company, after thirty days’ written notice.
Notwithstanding the above definition, a termination shall not constitute Good Cause if the key executive acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in, and not opposed to, the best interest of the Company and he or she had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
     For purposes of the Agreement, “Good Reason” shall be deemed to exist if, after a Change in Control:
  (1)   there is a significant change in the nature or scope of the key executive’s authority;
 
  (2)   there is a reduction in the key executive’s base salary;
 
  (3)   the Company changes the principal location in which the key executive is required to perform services by more than 35 miles without the key executive’s prior consent;
 
  (4)   the key executive reasonably determines that, as a result of a change in circumstances, he or she is unable to exercise the authority, powers, function or duties attached to his or her position; or
 
  (5)   the Company terminates or amends any incentive plan so that, when considered in the aggregate with any substitute plans or compensation, the incentive plan in which he or she is participating fails to provide at least 75% of the value of the level of benefits provided in the aggregate by the terminated or amended plan; provided that Good Reason shall not be deemed to exist under this situation if the decline in the incentive plan compensation is related to a decline in performance.
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan
     Under the original terms of the SERP, as described above, a participant vested in his or her SERP account at a rate of 20% per year, beginning after the second year of service with the Company or any acquired company, and will be fully vested after six years of service, provided that the participant will vest in the entire account upon his or her death or upon a Change in Control (as defined in the SERP) or, if determined by the Compensation Committee, upon a Potential Change in Control (as defined in the SERP) of the Company. Under the original terms of the SERP, if a participant’s employment with the Company is terminated for Cause (as defined in the SERP) or if the participant becomes employed within one year following his or her termination of employment with an entity that is deemed to be in competition with this Company, a participant will forfeit his or her entire interest in the SERP. In November 2006, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the SERP related to the vesting provisions, contribution methodology and payment provisions of the SERP, which amendment is described above.

Severance Plan
     The Board of Directors of the Company adopted, effective January 1, 2005, a Senior Management Severance Plan (the “Severance Plan”) to provide for certain transition and severance benefits as well as payment for a non-competition agreement to certain associates of the Company who hold a position with the Company or any of its subsidiaries with a title of vice president or corporate director or above and who are also a member of a “select group of management or highly compensated employees” within the meaning of Title 1 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (each an “Eligible Participant”) in the event of a Company-initiated separation from the Company for other than Cause (as defined in the Severance Plan).
     Under the terms of the Severance Plan, following termination by the Company other than for Cause, an Eligible Participant may receive, as transition pay, his or her base salary compensation and benefits for a period ranging from four to eighteen weeks, depending on the Eligible Participant’s position with the Company and years of service with the Company. In order to receive this transition pay, an Eligible Participant must enter into a transition confidentiality and non-compete agreement (covering the transition period) and general release. In addition to the transition pay, if any, an Eligible Participant may receive severance pay for periods ranging from four weeks to ninety-three weeks following the transition period based on his or her base salary at the termination date, position with the Company and years of service. Receipt of these severance payments is conditioned upon the Eligible Participant signing a non-compete agreement and general release or post-transition and non-compete agreement and general release. The non-compete period will typically run for the length of time that any severance payments are being made to the Eligible Participant.
     The Plan is administered by the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Human Resources Officer. In the event that the Eligible Participant in question is the Company’s Chief Human Resources Officer, or a reporting person under Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the Severance Plan will be administered by the Chairman of the Company’s Compensation Committee.
     Pursuant to the Severance Plan, the Company has reserved the right to discontinue any payments under the Severance Plan if an Eligible Participant is terminated for Cause during the transition period, if any, or if the Eligible Participant at any time violates the confidentiality, non-competition or non-solicitation agreement between the Eligible Participant and the Company.
     The Company maintains the right to terminate or discontinue the Severance Plan at any time, and the Severance Plan will not provide benefits to Eligible Participants in the event of a transaction involving a spin-off, corporate sale, sale of assets or a legal or organizational restructuring of any subsidiary, segment or division of the Company or for intercompany transfers within the Company and its subsidiaries. In addition, if the Eligible Participant receives benefits pursuant to a separate Agreement for Key Executives between the Company and the Eligible Participant, the Eligible Participant will not be entitled to any benefits under the Severance Plan. Any severance payments payable under the Severance Plan will be reduced by any amounts paid to an Eligible Participant under any employment or similar agreement, including the Agreement between the Company and the Eligible Participant upon the Eligible Participant’s termination of employment.
Change in Control and Termination Pay Tables
     The tables below reflect the amount of compensation payable to each of the Named Executive Officers of the Company in the event of termination of such executive’s employment. The amount of compensation payable to each Named Executive Officer upon voluntary termination, early retirement, involuntary not-for-cause termination, termination following a change of control and in the event of disability or death of the executive is shown below. The amounts shown assume that such termination was effective as of December 30, 2006, and thus includes amounts earned through such time and are estimates of the amounts which would be paid out to the executives upon their termination. The actual amounts to be paid out can only be determined at the time of such executive’s separation from the Company.

(10)   The foregoing estimates are based on a number of assumptions. Facts and circumstances at the time of any change in control transaction and termination thereafter as well as changes in the applicable named executive officer’s compensation history preceding such a transaction could materially impact whether and to what extent the excise tax will be imposed and therefore the amount of any potential gross-up. For purposes of performing these calculations, we have made the following additional assumptions: an individual effective tax rate of 40.45% (composed of a federal tax rate of 35.00%, a Virginia effective tax rate of 4% and FICA/FUTA of 1.45%) and a 120% Applicable Federal Rate (AFR) as of December 2006 of 5.82% for monthly compounding. AFR is applicable in determining the value of accelerating vesting of stock options and restricted shares in computing these excise taxes.
 
(11)   Mr. Spinner was not eligible for early retirement at December 30, 2006.

(10)   The foregoing estimates are based on a number of assumptions. Facts and circumstances at the time of any change in control transaction and termination thereafter as well as changes in the applicable named executive officer’s compensation history preceding such a transaction could materially impact whether and to what extent the excise tax will be imposed and therefore the amount of any potential gross-up. For purposes of performing these calculations, we have made the following additional assumptions: an individual effective tax rate of 40.45% (composed of a federal tax rate of 35.00%, a Virginia effective tax rate of 4% and FICA/FUTA of 1.45%) and a 120% Applicable Federal Rate (AFR) as of December 2006 of 5.82% for monthly compounding. AFR is applicable in determining the value of accelerating vesting of stock options and restricted shares in computing these excise taxes.

All of Ms. Perkins’ unvested options would vest upon a change in control. At December 30, 2006, Ms. Perkins did not have any unvested stock options for which the exercise price was lower than the Company’s closing stock price on that date.
 
(3)   If Ms. Perkins’ employment with the Company had terminated at December 30, 2006 as a result of death or disability then the restrictions on any unvested shares of restricted stock held by her would have lapsed on a pro rata basis. The restrictions on Ms. Perkins’ restricted shares would lapse upon a change in control.

(9)   Represents the value of continuing health and welfare coverage for twelve months, including medical, dental, short-term disability, long-term disability and life insurance.
 
(10)   The foregoing estimates are based on a number of assumptions. Facts and circumstances at the time of any change in control transaction and termination thereafter as well as changes in the applicable named executive officer’s compensation history preceding such a transaction could materially impact whether and to what extent the excise tax will be imposed and therefore the amount of any potential gross-up. For purposes of performing these calculations, we have made the following additional assumptions: an individual effective tax rate of 40.45% (composed of a federal tax rate of 35.00%, a Virginia effective tax rate of 4% and FICA/FUTA of 1.45%) and a 120% Applicable Federal Rate (AFR) as of December 2006 of 5.82% for monthly compounding. AFR is applicable in determining the value of accelerating vesting of stock options and restricted shares in computing these excise taxes.

(12)   Ms. Perkins was not eligible for normal retirement at December 30, 2006.
Director Compensation
     Non-employee directors receive an annual retainer of $35,000 and a fee of $1,500 for each Board meeting attended in person, $1,000 for each committee meeting attended in person, $750 for each Board meeting attended by telephone and $500 for each committee meeting attended by telephone, except that the Chairman of the Audit Committee receives a fee of $1,500 per Audit Committee meeting attended whether in person or by telephone. In addition, each non-employee director is reimbursed for expenses reasonably incurred in connection with their services as directors. Also, the Chairman of the Audit Committee receives an annual retainer of $10,000, and the Chairmen of the Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees receive annual retainers of $5,000 each. The Presiding Director also receives an annual retainer of $25,000. Directors who are officers or employees of the Company receive no compensation for serving as members of the Board. The aggregate amount of fees paid to all of the non-employee directors for fiscal 2006 is set forth in the table below.
     Each non-employee director participates in the Equity Incentive Plan which was approved by the Company’s shareholders on May 7, 2003. Prior thereto, the non-employee directors participated in the 1993 Outside Directors’ Stock Option Plan (the “Outside Directors’ Plan”), which was approved by the shareholders of the Company on July 21, 1993. Awards to non-employee directors are made at the discretion of the full Board pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan. All non-employee directors received a restricted share award of 2,500 shares of the Company Common Stock on May 16, 2006. The forfeiture restrictions on these shares of restricted stock lapse one year from the date of grant. In prior years, the non-employee directors had been awarded options to purchase Company Common Stock. All options issued under the Equity Incentive Plan and Outside Directors’ Plan had an exercise price per share at the date of grant equal to the closing sale price of the Common Stock on The Nasdaq National Market, the predecessor to the Nasdaq Global Select Market, on the date of grant.
     The Compensation Committee may in the future adjust the compensation of directors as it deems advisable and consistent with the best interests of the Company’s shareholders and the financial abilities of the Company.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
     During fiscal 2006, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors was composed of Messrs. Adair, Goad, Graven and Stokely and Ms. Doswell. None of these persons has at any time been an officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. In addition, there are no relationships among the Company’s executive officers, members of the Compensation Committee or entities whose executives serve on the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee that require disclosure under applicable SEC regulations.
Audit Committee Report
     In accordance with the Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors assists the Board of Directors in fulfilling its responsibility to oversee the Company’s financial reporting process and systems of internal controls regarding finance, accounting and legal compliance and the independence and performance of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and internal auditing department.
     In discharging its oversight responsibility as to the audit process, the Audit Committee obtained from the independent registered public accounting firm a formal written statement describing all relationships between the firm and the Company that might be thought to bear on the firm’s independence consistent with Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, “Independence Discussions with Audit Committees,” as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3600T discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm any relationships that may impact its objectivity and independence and satisfied itself as to the firm’s independence. The Audit Committee has been updated at least quarterly on management’s process to assess the adequacy of the Company’s system of internal control over financial reporting, the framework used to make the assessment, and management’s conclusions on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee has also discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the Company’s internal control assessment process, management’s assessment with respect thereto and the independent registered public accounting firm’s evaluation of the Company’s system of internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee also discussed with management and the independent registered public accounting firm the steps taken to implement recommended improvements in internal controls, as well as significant judgments, critical accounting policies and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements. The Audit Committee reviewed with the independent registered public accounting (AICPA, Professional Standards, Vol. 1. AU Section 380), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3600T firm its fees, audit plans, audit scope and identification of audit risks.
     The Audit Committee discussed and reviewed with the independent registered public accounting firm all communications required by auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, including those described in Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended, (AICPA, Professional Standards, Vol. 1. AU Section 380), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3600T and discussed and reviewed the results of the independent registered public accounting firm’s audit of the consolidated financial statements.
     The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2006 with management and the independent registered public accounting firm. Management has the responsibility for the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the independent registered public accounting firm has the responsibility for the audit of those statements.
     Based on the above-mentioned review and discussions with management and the independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements be included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2006 for filing with the SEC. The Audit Committee has not selected the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2007 as the meeting in which the audit firm is discussed and voted on has not occurred yet. The Audit Committee will discuss and vote on the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2007 during a future meeting, which the Company expects to occur during its second fiscal quarter of 2007.

Relationship with Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
     The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company selected KPMG LLP to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2006. Such firm has served as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm since 1987. Representatives of KPMG LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and will be given the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will be available to respond to appropriate questions. The following is a description of the fees billed to the Company by KPMG LLP for fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2005.
Audit Fees
     Audit fees include fees paid by the Company to KPMG in connection with the annual audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, KPMG’s review of the Company’s interim financial statements and KPMG’s review of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Audit fees also include fees for services performed by KPMG that are closely related to the audit and in many cases could only be provided by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Such services include comfort letters and consents related to SEC registration statements and certain reports relating to the Company’s regulatory filings. The aggregate fees billed to the Company by KPMG for audit services rendered to the Company and its subsidiaries for fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2005 totaled $1,374,150 and $1,899,000, respectively.
Audit Related Fees
     Audit related services include due diligence and audit services related to mergers and acquisitions, accounting consultations, employee benefit plan audits, certain attest services and in fiscal 2005 KPMG’s audit of the Company’s Fresh-cut Segment. The aggregate fees billed to the Company by KPMG for audit related services rendered to the Company and its subsidiaries for fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2005 totaled $18,500 and $691,000, respectively.

     Tax fees include corporate tax compliance and counsel and advisory services. The aggregate fees billed to the Company by KPMG for the tax related services rendered to the Company and its subsidiaries for fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2005 totaled $0 and $4,750, respectively.
All Other Fees
     KPMG did not perform any other services for the Company during fiscal 2006 or fiscal 2005.
Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
     During the latter half of 2002, the Company reviewed its existing practices regarding the use of its independent registered public accounting firm to provide non-audit and consulting services, to ensure compliance with recent SEC proposals. The Company adopted a policy, effective as of January 1, 2003, which provides that the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm may provide certain non-audit services which do not impair the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence. In that regard, the Audit Committee must pre-approve all audit services provided to the Company, as well as all non-audit services provided by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. This policy is administered by the Company’s senior corporate financial management, which reports throughout the year to the Audit Committee. All of the foregoing audit related fees and tax fees were pre-approved by the Audit Committee in accordance with this policy.
SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
     Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company’s officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of the Company’s Common Stock, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
     Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms received by it, or written representations from certain reporting persons that no Forms 5 were required for those persons, the Company believes that all filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners were complied with during the fiscal year ended December 30, 2006, except one transaction for a sale of 10,810 shares by Mr. Hoffman, one transaction for an award of 3,175 restricted shares by Mr. Traficanti, one transaction for an award of 262 restricted shares by Ms. Perkins, one transaction for a sale of 3,000 stock options by Mr. Adair and one transaction for an indirect sale of 2,288 shares by Ms. Doswell.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
     The Board of Directors of the Company has adopted a policy which provides that any transaction between the Company and any of its directors, officers, or principal shareholders or affiliates thereof must be on terms no less favorable to the Company than could be obtained from unaffiliated parties and must be approved by vote of a majority of the appropriate committee of the Board of Directors, each of which is comprised solely of independent directors of the Company. Pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for reviewing, approving or ratifying any transaction required to be described in this Proxy Statement pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
PROPOSALS OF SHAREHOLDERS
     Shareholders intending to submit proposals should send such proposals in writing, by certified mail, return receipt requested, to Joseph J. Traficanti, Secretary, Performance Food Group Company, 12500 West Creek Parkway, Richmond, Virginia 23238. To be included in the proxy statement and form of proxy relating to the Company’s 2008 Annual Meeting of Shareholders or to be presented at the Company’s 2008 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, proposals must be received by the Company prior to December 6, 2007.
DELIVERY OF ANNUAL REPORT AND PROXY STATEMENT
TO SHAREHOLDERS SHARING AN ADDRESS
     The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy delivery requirements for proxy statements with respect to two or more shareholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those shareholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially provides extra convenience for shareholders and cost savings for companies. The Company and some brokers household proxy materials, delivering a single proxy statement to multiple shareholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected shareholders. Once you have received notice from your broker or us that they or we will be householding materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If at any time you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement, or if you are receiving multiple copies of the proxy statement and wish to receive only one, please notify your broker if your shares are held in a brokerage account or us, or our transfer agent, if you hold registered shares. You can notify us by sending a written request to Performance Food Group Company, Attention: Treasurer, 12500 West Creek Parkway, Richmond, Virginia 23238, or by calling the Treasurer at (804) 484-7700. You can notify our transfer agent, Bank of New York, by sending them a written request to The Bank of New York, 101 Barclay Street, 11E, New York, NY 10286, or by calling (800) 524-4458.
