Shares may nevertheless be acquired at a different price under pre-existing agreements in which the price is determined or can be determined.

2. The authorisation is granted for a period of five years in accordance with the provisions of Article 146 of the Spanish Corporate Enterprises Act.

4. That the other terms and conditions of Articles 146 and 509 and

equivalent provisions of the Spanish Corporate Enterprises Act that apply

at any point during the period of validity of this authorisation are complied with.

Tenth: Appointment of member of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors proposes the appointment of a new member of the Board, proposing the appointment of Mr. ROBERT ALAIR SHARPE II as new Director of CAMPOFRÍO for the five-year term stipulated in the Articles of Association. Mr. SHARPE shall be classified in the category of Executive Director.

Eleventh.- Authorization to the Board of Directors for the granting of options over shares of the Company, in the framework of an incentive plan for Board members and executives.

In accordance with article 219 of the Capital Companies Act, as well as with article Twenty-five of the Company’s by-laws, the General Shareholders Meeting authorizes the implementation of a retribution system addressed to Board members and executives of the Company and of companies belonging to its consolidation group, consisting in the granting of options over shares of the Company (the “Options Plan”), which eventually may be integrated into a long-term incentive plan, and which main characteristics are contained in this resolution.

1. Object.

The object of the Options Plan is the granting of free options over ordinary shares of the Company to Board members and executives, current or future, of CAMPOFRÍO FOOD GROUP, S.A. and of companies of its group, in the terms indicated below.

Each option shall grant the right to acquire one share of the Company, at the exercise price referred to below, or to receive the difference in cash between said exercise price and the value of the shares, or a combination of both. The Board of Directors shall determine, at the moment of execution and formalization of the Options Plan, the type or types of exercise of the option.

2. Purpose.

The Option Plan is set up on an extraordinary basis, in light of the value which may be created from the implementation of the Strategic Plan 2012-2014, and in particular taking into account the different productivity measures and investment programs contained therein. In this respect, the Option Plan intends to offer the maximum motivational potential to its beneficiaries, in their condition as producers of high added value for the Company, reinforcing their bond with the same and with its objectives, and therefore to reach the results and strategic objectives of the Company on the medium and long term, all of which in accordance with the maximum interest of the Company and its shareholders.

3. Participants.

The Options Plan is addressed to the members of the Board of Directors of the Company who qualify as executive Directors, being the only beneficiaries of this retribution system, in accordance with the guidelines on remuneration included in the Spanish Unified Good Governance Code. Additionally, the Options Plan is addressed to those executives of the Company and of the companies of its consolidation group, current or future, to be determined by the Board of Directors (all the foregoing beneficiaries, jointly, the “Participants”). The Options Plan shall expressly foresee the possibility of Participants joining or leaving the Options Plan in the course of its validity period.

4. Maximum amount and term of the Options Plan.

The maximum amount of options granted in the framework of the Options Plan is 2.000.000 options, and therefore, it involves a maximum of 2.000.000 shares, which represent a percentage of 1,96% of the current share capital of the Company. Of said amount, and as of the date of execution of the Options Plan, the options granted to the Board members of the Company who qualify as executive Directors will amount to a maximum of 450.000 options, corresponding to a maximum of 450.000 shares (0,44 % of the share capital).

The Board of Directors shall determine which part of the options is granted on the date of execution of the Options Plan, and which one is reserved for future incorporations, as well as the determination of the criteria for the individual allocation to each Participant and/or to each group within the Options Plan.

The term of the Options Plan will be of 8 years as of 1 January 2012 (the “Initial Date”).

5. Price, period and conditions of exercise of the option.

The exercise price (the “Exercise Price”) is fixed at Euro 6,43, which is equivalent to the market value of the underlying share at the date 30 December 2011, the market value of the share being the one resulting from the quoting price at closing of the referred Stock Exchange session.

The Participants may exercise the options as from the third anniversary of the Initial Date, and during a 5 year period, until the end of the Options Plan.

Without prejudice of the foregoing, the Board of Directors may foresee that, in the event that the de-listing of the shares of the Company is agreed, the Participants may exercise in advance the options held by them.

The Board of Directors may make the exercise of the options rights conditional on the fulfillment of certain objectives, in the terms to be established in the framework of a long-term incentive plan as referred to above.

6. Correction of the exercise price.

The Board of Directors may set forth correction mechanisms in respect of the Exercise Price, in order to keep unchanged the initial value of the shares and of the underlying shares, in the event that, during the validity of the Options Plan, certain decisions or agreements are adopted which could entail a dilution of the referred initial value.

7. Amendments to the Options Plan.

The Board of Directors (or the persons specially empowered by the latter) may at any time introduce amendments to the Options Plan in order to take any appropriate regime resulting from the application of a normative provision, as well as any adjustments or modifications that may be reasonable or advisable to fulfill the purposes of this Option Plan, both in relation to Participants in Spain and/or any other applicable jurisdiction.

8. Delegation of faculties.

In the broadest terms permitted by Law, the Board of Directors is authorized to develop, complete and execute this agreement in the terms and condition it may deem convenient, and, in particular, to prepare and approve a Regulation or Regulations governing the stock option plan.

Twelfth.- Delegation of powers in favour of the Board of Director to

construe, apply, give effect to, and carry out, those resolutions passed by

the General Meeting which require it, including any corrections which may

be required to comply with any necessary requirements either to give

effect to them or to register them.

In relation to all of the agreements previously adopted, it is proposed to delegate in the Board of Directors of the Company so that they may, with the faculty to in turn delegate to any of its members or the Secretary of the Board, appear before the relevant Mercantile Registries, the Spanish Securities Exchange Commission (CNMV), and any other relevant authorities, official bodies, entities public or private, to sign to such effect any documents, either public or private and fulfilling any burocratic proceeding or action that is required or convenient for the execution of the preceding agreements, and specifically to

the establishment, clarification, precision, modification or interpretation of its content in all of the conditions of the same that were not foreseen by the General Shareholders Meeting, formalizing any complementary documents that may be required, as well as to rectify any errors or omissions that may be appreciated or indicated by the Spanish Securities Exchange Commission (CNMV),the Mercantile Registry and/or any other relevant authorities, agencies or entities.

Thirteenth.- Authorisation to execute in public deeds those General

Meeting resolutions which so require or which have to be registered in

Public Registers, and to give effect to such resolutions.

It is proposed to grant faculties to Mr. Pedro Ballve Lantero and to Mr. Alfredo Sanfeliz Mezquita, so that either indistinctly may execute the agreements adopted during this Shareholders Meeting, extending to such effect any public or private documents that may be required, and duly registering them in the Public Registries and carrying out any complementary actions that may be needed.

ANNUAL REPORT ON REMUNERATION AT CAMPOFRIO FOOD

GROUP, S.A.

__________________________________________________

20120229 _Informe_de_Remuneraciones (English) final

1. INTRODUCTION

This report addresses the remuneration policy of Campofrio Food Group, S.A.

(hereinafter, “Campofrio” or the “Company”) with respect to the members of its

Board of Directors. It is being prepared under the principle of transparency on

remuneration matters. The policy for remunerating the members of the Board of

Directors of Campofrio has been designed following the stipulations of the

Company’s Bylaws and Board Regulations. In addition to continually fine-tuning

its remuneration schemes, bringing them in line with best practice in this area,

Campofrio has adopted the measures required to better align its remuneration

policy with the current environment and to comply with Spain’s Sustainable

Economy Act (Law 2/2011, of 4 March 2011), insofar as it amends Spain’s

Security Markets Act (Law 24/1988, of 28 July 1998), introducing the obligation

for listed companies to publish an annual report on director pay.

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee has prepared this report pursuant

to the provisions of the Company’s Bylaws and Board Regulations, which

expressly stipulate the Board’s duty to establish the remuneration policy and basic

terms of employment of the Company’s senior executives and of the members of

the Board of Directors, acting at the recommendation of the Nomination and

Remuneration Committee. The report duly drafted by the said Committee was

submitted to the full Board for approval, which approval was granted on 29

February 2012.

2. REMUNERATION POLICY

2.1 REMUNERATION POLICY PRINCIPLES

In setting remuneration policy, the Company attempts to ensure the right balance

so that the resulting pay levels are sufficient to enable it to attract and retain

executive and director talent without being perceived as excessive or above

prevailing market practice for the companies Campofrio deems its peers. This

philosophy applies to the remuneration paid to directors in their capacity as such,

to senior management and to executive directors. Against this backdrop, it is

important to analyse, as the Company has been doing in recent years, senior

management and director pay in order to compare it with market practice and to

assess the Company’s competitiveness in this regard and ensure the right balance

in terms of acknowledging the responsibilities assumed by these professionals and

the impact of their efforts on execution of the Group’s management and strategic

policies.

2.2 REGULATIONS APPLICABLE TO REMUNERATION:

Article 25 of the Company’s Bylaws stipulates the following with respect to

director remuneration:

(i) The office of Director shall be remunerated. Such remuneration shall consist

of an annual fixed amount to be decided each year by the company’s Board

of Directors for the year in which such decision is taken. The Board shall also

decide on the criteria for its distribution among the members of the Board.

Such amount shall not exceed the maximum annual amount established by

the General Meeting, which shall be deemed to be effective for the actual

year in course and for years thereinafter, until amendment thereof by the

General Meeting.

(ii) Additionally, the Directors may also receive as remuneration, cumulatively to

the remuneration stipulated in the foregoing section, shares or option rights

over such shares or that are linked to the value thereof, the approval of which

shall require the relevant resolution of the General Shareholders Meeting,

which shall decide on the value of the shares to be taken as a benchmark, the

number of shares to be granted to each Director, the price at which the option

rights may be exercised, the term of application of this system of

remuneration, and any other terms and conditions that it deems appropriate.

The foregoing shall not prevent or restrict any other remuneration agreed to

by the company with its Directors within the scope of an employment

relationship or for the performance of specific professional services.

In addition, article 27 of the Board Regulations stipulates:

(i) Directors shall be entitled to obtain such remuneration as may be

established by the Board of Directors pursuant to the provisions of the

Company Bylaws and in accordance with the report previously issued by

the Appointment and Compensation Committee for any variation.

(ii) The Board shall procure to make the remuneration of directors moderate

inThe Board shall procure that the remuneration of Directors shall be

moderate in light of market conditions pursuant to the provisions of the

Company Bylaws and in terms of nature and criteria, proportional to the

purposes of the Company and the duties assigned to the Board and to each

one of the different categories of Directors referred to in Article 7 of this

Regulation and, in particular, it shall procure that the remuneration of

external Directors is sufficient to compensate their dedication and

qualification, but not as high as to compromise their independence; that

remuneration associated with the Company’s profit takes into account any

reservations set forth in the external auditor’s report which may reduce

such profit, and, in the case of variable remuneration, that the necessary

precautions are taken in order to ensure that remuneration is commensurate

with the professional experience of its recipient and is not dictated by the

general evolution of the markets.

(iii) The Board shall procure that the remuneration of Directors is at all times

governed by any information and transparency rules and standards

applicable from time to time.

2.3 NOMINATION AND REMUNERATION COMMITTEE DUTIES

Article 15 of the Board Regulations lists the following duties vested in the

Nomination and Remuneration Committee:

(i) To propose to the Board of Directors the election, re-election or dismissal of

independent Directors, based on a list prepared by specialized advisories if it

is required by any Director.

(ii) To inform of all the proposals that the Board of Directors makes to the General Meeting regarding the reelection of the Directors, even in cases of

co-decision with the Board of Directors, evaluating quality of work and

dedication to the position.

Reelection of External Independent Directors may not be proposed without

the Committee report indicating that at the time of reelection, none of the

circumstances mentioned in article 19 of this Regulation have been noted.

(iii) To inform the Board of Directors on proposals of dismissal for Directors, which, in the event that it were for a Proprietary or Independent Director,

must be accompanied by a report indicating the reasons for the proposed

dismissal.

(iv) To inform the General Meeting of all proposals made by the Board of

Directors to appoint Directors, taking into account the personal and

professional conditions of each candidate, as well as the needs of the

company’s governing bodies.

(v) To make proposals to the Board of Directors regarding the remuneration policy for Directors and senior officers, the individual remuneration and

other contractual conditions of executive directors and the standard

conditions for senior officer employment contracts, and to oversee

compliance with the remuneration policy set by the Company.

(vi) To inform on all resolution proposals raised to the Board of Directors regarding designation of Directors and appointment from among them of

Managing or Executive Directors, as well as appointment and removal of the

Secretary of the Board, taking into account all legal, by-law and personal

requirements of the proposed candidates.

(vii) To inform on any proposed resolutions submitted to the Board of Directors regarding the appointment and dismissal of senior officers.

(viii) Any other functions within its scope of competence and as requested by the Board of Directors or its Chairman.

For the purposes set out above, any Director may suggest directorship candidates to the

Committee for its consideration.

2.4 COMPOSITION OF THE NOMINATION AND REMUNERATION

COMMITTEE AND MEETING ATTENDANCE RECORD FOR 2011

At 31 December 2011, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee was

configured as follows:

Independent Chairman

Guillermo de la Dehesa Romero

Independent Members

Yiannis Petrides

Juan José Guibelalde Iñurritegui

Members

Charles Larry Pope

Karim Michael Khairallah

Secretary, non-member

Alfredo Sanfeliz Mezquita

The Board Regulations stipulate that the Nomination and Remuneration

Committee be composed of a minimum of three and a maximum of five members.

Executive directors may not be Committee members.

These same Regulations further establish that the Nomination and Remuneration

Committee must hold meetings at the behest of its Chairman, on its own initiative

or at the request of at least two of its members or two of the members of the Board

of Directors, in which case the petition must be addressed to the Committee

Chairman, detailing the proposed agenda.

In 2011, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee met on two occasions.

2.5 FUNCTIONING OF THE NOMINATION AND REMUNERATION

COMMITTEE

As provided in the Board Regulations, the Committee’s sessions are officially

called to order when half its members plus one are in attendance, in person or by

valid proxy. Proxy representation must be bestowed on another member of the

Committee, in writing and addressed to the Chairman.

The Chairman of the Committee must report to the Board on its activity at the first

full Board meeting following Committee meetings. The Committee must justify

its actions and provide the Board with the minutes of its meetings.

In light of the foregoing, it can be said that the Nomination and Remuneration

Committee performs research and analytical work, as well as advising the Board

on matters falling within its remit, submitting recommendations and resolutions to

the Board of Directors for due debate and approval as required on a case by case

basis.

In the course of its meetings and in exercising its duties, the Committee or its

members interview and debate with the Company’s directors and executives as

required, although the definitive deliberations and votes always take place in the

absence of the affected directors or executives due the sensitive nature of the

matters discussed in order to ensure that the proposals made and decisions taken

are as unbiased and autonomous as possible.

2.6 DIRECTOR REMUNERATION POLICY IN 2011

This section addresses the remuneration scheme resulting from the policies

applied in 2011 in respect of calculation of:

� Director remuneration in exchange for discharging the supervisory and

decision-making duties intrinsic to board membership.

� Director remuneration in exchange for discharging executive duties and

senior management remuneration.

2.6.1 Director remuneration in exchange for discharging the supervisory and

decision-making duties intrinsic to board membership.

As provided in article 25 of the Bylaws (as set out in section 2.2 above), the

office of director is remunerated and such remuneration consists of an annual

fixed amount to be decided each year by the company’s Board of Directors.

At the meeting held on 19 June 2007, the Board of Directors resolved to

establish the limit provided for in article 25 of the Bylaws at 1,000,000 euros, an amount deemed to apply to the year in question and all successive years insofar as it

is not amended in the form of a new General Meeting resolution and

notwithstanding the amounts applicable under other specific employment or service

provision agreements.

Accordingly, and based on the documented recommendation of the Nomination

and Remuneration Committee, at its meeting of 12 May 2009, the Board of

Directors agreed to approved the fixed remuneration on the following amounts:

• Members of the Board of Directors: 68,000 euros per annum.

• Chairman of each Committee: 15,000 euros per annum.

• Committee members: 10,000 euros per annum.

These sums are designed to remunerate the directors in their capacity as such

and were established factoring in the responsibilities they assume merely by

virtue of holding office, coupled with the dedication required to carry out their

duties and the knowledge and experience they bring to the management,

oversight and control of the Group.

Having established the above sums, out of caution the Committee has since

decided to freeze these amounts. As a result, on 14 December 2011, the Board

agreed to extend the existing policy, so that the fixed pay accruing to the

members of the Board of Directors was left unchanged.

The following table itemises the remuneration received by each director in this

respect in 2011:

AGGREGATE €747,0001

2.6.2 Director remuneration in exchange for discharging executive duties and

senior management remuneration

(i) Principles applied:

The remuneration policy followed with respect to executive directors is

the same as that applied to senior management since the ultimate goal is

to remunerate these professionals for their executive duties and

performance. It is therefore predicated on the premise that the fixed and

variable components should be adequately balanced: the fixed

1 Having been appointed by the Board of Directors as member of the Audit Committee, on 24 February

2011, Mr. Yannis Petrides was named Chairman of this committee, replacing Mr. Juan José Guibelalde,

which is why the amount receivable by the directors in 2012 will total €757,000.

component needs to be sufficient to compensate them for the

responsibilities assumed and the specifics of each position while bonuses

need to reward these professionals for their job performance as a function

of the targets achieved. The sum of the two components should translate

into a level of remuneration deemed competitive in terms of retaining or

attracting the talent needed to manage the Company.

At present, the Company only has one director who performs executive

duties, Pedro Jose Ballvé Lantero, being applicable the same

remuneration policy of the senior management.

As it does every year, in 2011, the Board, at the recommendation of the

Nomination and Remuneration Committee, reviewed executive

remuneration policy with a view to keeping compensation in line with

market pay at similar companies and to fine-tuning specific situations, as

required, to ensure internal fairness, with the ultimate goal of endowing

Campofrío with an optimal compensation structure in terms of retaining

the talent needed to steer the Company. This review encompassed the

review of the executive component of the remuneration of the

Company’s sole executive director at present.

The structure of the compensation paid to directors for discharging

executive duties and to the Company’s senior officers comprises four

concepts:

(a) Fixed remuneration

(b) Variable remuneration (bonuses)

(c) Stock options

(d) In-kind benefits

(ii) Fixed remuneration:

Fixed remuneration is designed to compensate the executive director for

his skills and knowledge and for the management responsibilities

assumed. It is benchmarked against the compensation paid in the market

by similarly-sized peer companies, while respecting the balance criteria

in place to ensure internal fairness in relation to seniority and

responsibilities.

(iii) Variable remuneration (bonuses):

A fundamental part of the overall compensation package is the provision

of bonuses designed to stimulate executives by setting ambitious but

feasible targets. In this regard, each year the Nomination and

Remuneration Committee carefully analyses the targets used as

benchmarks and the extent to which these are achieved and the

corresponding bonuses accrued. Depending on how ambitious the targets

are considered to be, the Company establishes a wider or narrower band

in order to prevent relatively minor shortfalls vis-à-vis targets from

depriving beneficiaries of their entire bonuses, as this would ultimately

have the effect of discouraging the Company’s executive from agreeing

to ambitious targets. In addition, the targets set need to be quantifiable

and to create value for the Company. They need to be readily measurable

so that their delivery can be properly and objectively gauged.

There are two different variable remuneration schemes:

(a) Short-term: The Annual Remuneration Plan establishes the

mechanisms for determining the annual sum payable in

accordance with the target achievement bands designed and

approved by the Board of Directors each year as a function of

the Company’s annual results and individual job performance

with respect to the targets set.

In 2011, the benchmark performance indicators were EBITDA,

gross profit and the delivery of certain specific project savings.

At the time of drafting this report, the degree of achievement of

the targets and corresponding accruals were pending

assessment by the Nomination and Appointments Committee.

(b) Long-term: Pursuant to the merger protocol entered into for the

merger of Campofrio and Groupe Smithfield, the Board of

Directors approved in 2009 a Long-Term Variable

Remuneration Plan with a three-year (2009-2011) pay scheme,

delivery of which is based on accumulated EBITDA and the

performance of other financial indicators over this three-year

term, pursuant to the business plan approved at the time of the

merger, settlement of which, to the extent that the plan targets

are met, would take place in 2012, following verification of the

degree of delivery. Of the total expense provisioned by the

Company in this respect, 1,607,580 euros corresponds to the

variable remuneration attributable to Pedro Jose Ballvé Lantero

under this scheme in his capacity as executive Chairman.

Should this amount be effectively assessed to have been

accrued, it will be paid in 2012.

Both systems establish the amount receivable in the event that the

defined targets are 100% achieved as a percentage of fixed pay.

(iv) Stock option plans

As part of the abovementioned Long-Term Remuneration Plan, the

Company’s shareholders ratified a resolution in general meeting agreeing

to the grant of up to 1,300,000 stock options to several officers, of which

140,000 have been set aside for Pedro Jose Ballvé Lantero in his capacity

as executive Chairman. These stock options entitle their holders to

acquire one share for every option held. They can be exercised between 1

January 2012 and 31 December 2016. They can also be “net-cash

settled”.

(v) In-kind complements

As do the other senior officers, the executive Chairman receives some of

his remuneration in the form of in-kind benefits such as health, life and

disability insurance. He is also the beneficiary of a Company car. These

benefits are considered to be in line with market practice.

The following table illustrates the remuneration received by Pedro Jose Ballvé Lantero in

2011 in his capacity as executive Chairman for the four pay components outlined in the

present section 2.6.2:

Fixed Remuneration Variable Remuneration Stock Options In-kind Complements

€914,742 €448,224 N/A €154,495

2.7 Remuneration policy for 2012

In terms of future remuneration policy, as of the date of authorising this report for issue,

neither the Board nor the Nomination and Remuneration Committee has any plans to

change prevailing policy, having already confirmed the maintenance in 2012 of the

fixed sums paid to the directors in their capacity as board and board committee

members, as disclosed in section 2.6.1 above.

Nevertheless, the Board and the Nomination and Remuneration Committee are aware of

the importance of keeping remuneration competitive relative to market terms and trends

and the best practices followed by the governing bodies of the companies it tracks most

closely, just as it benchmarks senior management pay. This requires continually

checking that compensation, particularly bonuses, is compatible with shareholder value

creation, all this, in a context of sustainable development of the Company’s activities.

Within this policy, the Board’s criterion is to continue to earmark a significant

percentage of compensation to variable remuneration by establishing targets to be met

during the terms of all applicable compensation schemes.

Specifically with respect to 2012, the annual variable remuneration plan targets are

benchmarked to EBITDA and to implementation and execution of a series of specific

plans intended to overhaul certain of the Company’s business areas and practices.

Lastly, it should be noted that one of the points on the agendas of the Nomination and

Remuneration Committee and the Board for the year ahead, in light of completion of the

2009-2011 long-term compensation scheme, is to draft and implement a new long-term

scheme in order to stimulate the Company’s senior management, including its executive

directors, encouraging them to achieve the Company’s multi-year plans, targets and

strategic initiatives and to reward them for their achievements.

CAMPOFRÍO FOOD GROUP, S.A.

REPORT BY THE COMPANY’S BOARD OF DIRECTOR ON THE PROPOSALS TO AMEND THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION AND ON THE PROPOSAL TO

AMEND THE RULES OF THE GENERAL SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING DEALT WITH IN ITEMS THIRD AND FOURTH OF THE AGENDA OF THE GENERAL SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING SCHEDULED TO BE HELD ON 29

The Board of Directors of CAMPOFRÍO FOOD GROUP, S.A. (the “Company”), at its meeting

of 29 February 2012, resolved to submit for the consideration of and, as the case may be, approval

by the Company’s Ordinary General Meeting each of the proposals to amend the Articles of

Association and the Rules of the General Shareholders’ Meeting, intended to bring the provisions

thereof into line with the amendments made by Act 25/2011, of 1 August, partly reforming the

Spanish Corporate Enterprises Act and transposing Directive 2007/36/EC of the European

Parliament and of the Council of 11 July on the exercise of certain rights of shareholders in listed

companies (“Act 25/2011”).

By issuing this Report, the Board of Directors complies with the provisions of article 286 of the

Capital Companies Act, as it explains and justifies each of the proposals for amendment of the By-

laws and the Regulations governing General Shareholders Meetings which are submitted for

consideration by the Ordinary General Shareholders Meeting.

1. Background Information and Justification

As indicated above, the purpose of the amendment of the By-laws and of the Regulations

governing General Shareholders Meetings is to adapt the content thereof to certain modifications in

the corporate laws introduced by the Act 25/2011

It is put on record that pursuant to and in compliance with the provisions of article 3 of the

Regulation of the General Shareholders Meeting, the Audit Committee of the Company has

previously issued a favourable opinion regarding the proposed amendment of such Regulation.

The modifications now proposed and analysed in detail below affecting the By-laws and the

Regulation of the General Shareholders Meeting are a necessary consequence of the changes

introduced by the aforementioned corporate laws and relate to formal and material matters.

With respect to the Articles of Association, it is proposed in item THIRD of the agenda to amend

articles thirteen, fourteen and twenty, with a view to making the following material changes:

(i) Article Thirteen: The “Addendum to Notice of General Shareholders’ Meeting” regime is

altered in order to incorporate the changes introduced by Article 519 of Act 25/2011,

which allows items to be put on the notice agenda, although solely for Ordinary General

Meetings, provided the new items are accompanied by a justification or, as the case may

be, by a justified draft resolution. Furthermore, it gives shareholders representing at least

five percent of the share capital the right to submit justified draft resolutions on items

already on the agenda or on items that need to be put on the meeting agenda.

(ii) Article Fourteen: The rules governing “Representation at General Meetings” are enhanced,

providing that where the shareholder who has appointed a proxy holder has given

instructions, the proxy holder must vote in line with them and shall be required to keep the

instructions for a period of one year from the date on which the meeting in question is held.

(iii) Article Twenty: One third of Board members shall henceforth be empowered to call a

board meeting, where the Chairman had been so asked but failed to do so, without

providing reasonable grounds, within a month.

With respect to the Rules of the General Shareholders’ Meeting, it is proposed in item FOURTH of

the agenda to materially change articles nine, eleven, twelve, fourteen and twenty-four as follows:

i. Article Nine: The content of the meeting notice on the website is expanded, with the details

introduced in Articles 174 and 517 of Act 25/2011 being added.

ii. Article Eleven: Shareholder powers with respect to the Agenda and the submission of new

draft resolutions are amended, in order to incorporate the changes introduced by Article 519 of

Act 25/2011, which allows items to be put on the notice agenda, although solely for Ordinary

General Meetings, provided the new items are accompanied by a justification or, as the case

may be, by a justified draft resolution. Furthermore, it gives shareholders representing at least

five percent of the share capital the right to submit justified draft resolutions on items already

on the agenda or on items that need to be put on the meeting agenda.

iii. Article Twelve: Shareholders’ right of information is restricted in situations where the

requested information is clear and readily available to all shareholders on the company’s

website in a Q&A format.

iv. Article Fourteen: The rules governing “Representation at General Meetings” are enhanced,

providing that where the shareholder who has appointed a proxy holder has given instructions,

the proxy holder must vote in line with them and shall be required to keep the instructions for a

period of one year from the date on which the meeting in question is held.

v. Article Twenty-four: It is pointed out that the legal provisions in force at any given moment

shall apply to the rules on the splitting of shareholder votes.

Madrid, 29 February of 2012. Mr. Pedro Ballvé Lantero Mr. Alfredo Sanfeliz Mezquita Chairman Secretary of the Board of Directors

CAMPOFRÍO FOOD GROUP, S.A.

REPORT ISSUED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY ON THE

PROPOSAL FOR DELEGATION TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE POWER

TO INCREASE THE CAPITAL STOCK PURSUANT TO ARTICLES 297.1.B) AND 506

OF THE SPANISH COMPANIES ACT

(ITEM SEVEN OF THE SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING TO BE HELD ON MAY, 29, 2012)

The Board of Directors of CAMPOFRÍO FOOD GROUP, S.A. at the meeting it held on February,

29, 2012, decided to submit to the consideration of and, if applicable, approval by the Annual

Shareholders’ Meeting of the Company, a proposal for delegation to the Board of Directors of the

power to resolve to increase the capital stock pursuant to articles 297.1 b) and 506 of the Spanish

Companies Act (Ley de Sociedades de Capital).

Through this Report, the Board of Directors complies with articles 286, 296, 308 and 506 of the

Spanish Companies Act, explaining and justifying the proposal submitted to the consideration of

the Shareholders’ Meeting.

1. Background data and economic justification.

The dynamic of every commercial entity and, in particular, the one of listed companies, requires

that its management body has at its disposal, at any moment, appropriate instruments which confer

it the required flexibility in order to adapt the Company’s equity to the needs that may exist at any

moment for the latter and thus attend, by means of the raising of new capital contributions, and for

the amount that is deemed convenient, the financing needs that may exist in the development of its

activity, including, if any, the carrying out of new business projects.

The function of said instruments is to provide sufficient adaptability and autonomy to the Board of

Directors in order to choose at any moment the financing sources which may be more appropriate

for the Company, taking into account the conditions of the financial markets.

In this respect, article 297.1 b) of the Spanish Companies Act allows to the General Shareholders’

Meeting of listed companies to delegate in favour of the Board of Directors the faculty of

approving a capital increase, without the need of adopting a resolution by the General

Shareholders’ Meeting, and therefore, to authorize the Board of Directors to adopt the specific

measures aimed to such issuance.

In accordance with the above and specially taking into account that the delegation of the faculty of

increasing the share capital constitutes the appropriate mechanism so as to let the Company to

adapt its financing structure to its needs at any time, in a flexible and effective way, as indicated

above, the Board of Directors considers it necessary that the General Shareholders’ Meeting

delegates to the Board of Directors the faculty to approve, when appropriate, one or several

increases of share capital, within the limits and fulfilling the requirements established in article

297.1 b) of the Spanish Companies Act.

Likewise, in order that the Board of Directors is able to make an efficient use of the faculty of

increasing the share capital, the speed and the selection of the funding sources is of essence.

Therefore, it is necessary that the Board of Directors is enabled to exclude the pre-emptive rights

corresponding to shareholders. Such faculty is admitted by virtue of article 506 of the Spanish

Companies Act and it shall be exercised by the Board of Directors acting in the benefit of the

corporate interest, provided that the legal requirements established for such purpose are previously

fulfilled.

award of shares not subscribed for in the exercise of pre-emptive subscription rights and
