Co announces that it has filed a Notification of Late Filing for its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. This action provides for a 15 calendar day extension for the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K until Sept. 13, 2012. Co anticipates that it will be able to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K by no later than Sept. 13, 2012, which would be considered a timely filing for SEC compliance purposes. The filing delay is due to the on-going investigation by D.E MASTER BLENDERS 1753 N.V. of accounting irregularities identified in its Brazilian operation. D.E MASTER BLENDERS and its Brazilian operations were previously part of Sara Lee, the predecessor co to Hillshire Brands, and were spun off from Sara Lee prior to the end of fiscal year 2012. D.E.MASTER BLENDERS has informed co that its internal investigation related to these accounting irregularities has been largely completed.
