On August 17, 2010, Pinnacle Foods Finance LLC (“PFF”) issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8 1/4%senior unsecured notes due 2017 (the “Initial Notes”) in a private offering pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). On November 16, 2010, PFF exchanged all of the Initial Notes for identical notes (the “Exchange Notes”) registered under the Securities Act, pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-4 declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the duty of PFF to file reports under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act was suspended for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2013, because the Exchange Notes were held of record by less than 300 persons as of that date. PFF continued to file on a voluntary basis, however. On May 10, 2013, PFF redeemed all $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Exchange Notes.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Exchange Act, Pinnacle Foods Finance LLC has caused this certification/notice to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned duly authorized person.
