Plan to engage in net settlement to satisfy tax withholding above the statutory minimum applicable withholding requirements (but at no greater level than the participants estimated applicable tax obligations) and clarifies that any shares
tendered or withheld for tax liabilities that exceed the minimum amounts of taxes required to be withheld may not again become available for awards under the Amended Plan; and
|
|
|
|
Revises the Amended Plan to reflect the Companys corporate name change from ConAgra Foods, Inc. to Conagra Brands, Inc.
