The Kraft Heinz Company (NASDAQ: KHC) (“Kraft Heinz” or the “Company”)
today announced that on May 17, 2019, as expected, Kraft Heinz received
a standard notice from Nasdaq stating that, as a result of not having
timely filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
March 30, 2019 (the "Form 10-Q"), Kraft Heinz continues to not be in
compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), which requires timely
filing of periodic financial reports with the Securities and Exchange

Nasdaq and in the notice received on May 17, 2019, Nasdaq also notified
Kraft Heinz that it had been granted until September 11, 2019 to regain
compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) by filing the Form 10-K
and Form 10-Q and complying with certain other terms outlined in the
notice. Kraft Heinz currently expects to cooperate with Nasdaq to comply
with such terms.
These notices do not have any immediate effect on the listing or trading
of Kraft Heinz’s common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.
