FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein contain statements reflecting our views about our future performance that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that involve substantial risks and uncertainties.

These forward-looking statements reflect management’s current expectations and are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and beyond our control.

Important factors that may affect our business and operations and that may cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the impacts of COVID-19 and government and consumer responses; operating in a highly competitive industry; our ability to correctly predict, identify, and interpret changes in consumer preferences and demand, to offer new products to meet those changes, and to respond to competitive innovation; changes in the retail landscape or the loss of key retail customers; changes in our relationships with significant customers or suppliers, or in other business relationships; our ability to maintain, extend, and expand our reputation and brand image; our ability to leverage our brand value to compete against private label products; our ability to drive revenue growth in our key product categories or platforms, increase our market share, or add products that are in faster-growing and more profitable categories; product recalls or other product liability claims; our ability to identify, complete, or realize the benefits from strategic acquisitions, alliances, divestitures, joint ventures, or other investments; our ability to successfully execute our strategic initiatives; the impacts of our international operations; our ability to protect intellectual

S-1

property rights; our ownership structure; our ability to realize the anticipated benefits from prior or future streamlining actions to reduce fixed costs, simplify or improve processes, and improve our competitiveness; our level of indebtedness, as well as our ability to comply with covenants under our debt instruments; additional impairments of the carrying amounts of goodwill or other indefinite-lived intangible assets; foreign exchange rate fluctuations; volatility in commodity, energy, and other input costs; volatility in the market value of all or a portion of the commodity derivatives we use; compliance with laws and regulations and related legal claims or regulatory enforcement actions; failure to maintain an effective system of internal controls; a downgrade in our credit rating; the impact of future sales of our common stock in the public market; our ability to continue to pay a regular dividend and the amounts of any such dividends; unanticipated business disruptions and natural events in the locations in which we or our customers, suppliers, distributors, or regulators operate; economic and political conditions in the United States and in various other nations where we do business; changes in our management team or other key personnel and our ability to hire or retain key personnel or a highly skilled and diverse global workforce; risks associated with information technology and systems, including service interruptions, misappropriation of data, or breaches of security; increased pension, labor, and people-related expenses; changes in tax laws and interpretations; volatility of capital markets and other macroeconomic factors; and other factors. For additional information on these and other factors that could affect our forward-looking statements, see Item 1A, Risk Factors, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 26, 2020 and Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 25, 2021.

We disclaim and do not undertake any obligation to update, revise, or withdraw any forward-looking statement in this report, except as required by applicable law or regulation.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described under our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 26, 2020, as supplemented by our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 25, 2021, together with all of the other information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including our consolidated financial statements and related notes, before deciding whether to purchase shares of our common stock. Any of these risks could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results, financial condition, or prospects and cause the value of our common stock to decline, which could cause you to lose all or part of your investment.

Berkshire Hathaway and 3G Global Food Holdings have substantial control over us and may have conflicts of interest with us in the future.

Following the offering, Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (“Berkshire Hathaway”) and 3G Global Food Holdings LP (“3G Global Food Holdings” and, together with its affiliates, “3G Capital”) (3G Capital together with Berkshire Hathaway, the “Sponsors”) will own approximately 42% of our common stock. Two of 11 members of our Board are partners and/or board members of 3G Capital and two members of our Board are officers and/or directors of Berkshire Hathaway and/or its affiliates. In addition, Paulo Basilio, our Global Chief Financial Officer, is a partner of 3G Capital. As a result, the Sponsors have the potential to exercise influence over management and have substantial control over Board decisions, including those affecting our capital structure, such as the issuance of additional capital stock, the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the implementation of stock repurchase programs, and the declaration and amount of dividends. The Sponsors also have substantial control over any action requiring the approval of the holders of our common stock, including adopting any amendments to our charter, electing directors, and approving mergers or sales of substantially all of our capital stock or our assets. In addition, to the extent that the Sponsors were to collectively hold a majority of our common stock, they together would have the power to take stockholder action by written consent to adopt amendments to our charter or take other actions, such as corporate transactions, that require the vote of holders of a majority of our outstanding common stock. Furthermore, the Sponsors are in the business of making investments in companies and may from time to time acquire and hold interests in businesses that compete directly or indirectly with us. The Sponsors may also pursue acquisition opportunities that may be complementary to our business, and, as a result, those acquisition opportunities may not be available to us. So long as the Sponsors continue to own a significant amount of our equity, they will continue to be able to strongly influence or effectively control our decisions.

Sales of our common stock in the public market could cause volatility in the price of our common stock or cause the share price to fall.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, sales of our common stock by the Sponsors, or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price of our common stock, and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. A sustained depression in the market price of our common stock has happened (which was a contributing factor to our decision to perform interim impairment tests for certain reporting units and brands in 2018 and 2019 for which we ultimately recorded impairment losses) and could in the future happen, which could also reduce our market capitalization below the book value of net assets, which could increase the likelihood of recognizing goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment losses that could negatively affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Kraft Heinz and the Sponsors entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) requiring us to register for resale under the Securities Act all registrable shares held by the Sponsors, which represent all shares of our common stock held by the Sponsors as of July 2, 2015, the date of the closing of the merger of Kraft Foods Group, Inc. with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of H.J. Heinz Holding Corporation. After this offering, registrable shares will represent approximately 42% of all outstanding shares of our common stock. Although the registrable shares are subject to certain holdback and suspension periods, the

S-5

registrable shares are not subject to a “lock-up” or similar restriction under the registration rights agreement. Accordingly, offers and sales of a large number of registrable shares may be made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act in accordance with the terms of the registration rights agreement after the expiration or waiver of the lock-up agreement entered into in connection with this offering. Sales of our common stock by the Sponsors to other persons would likely result in an increase in the number of shares being traded in the public market and may increase the volatility of the price of our common stock.

Our ability to pay regular dividends to our stockholders and the amounts of any such dividends are subject to the discretion of the Board and may be limited by our financial condition, debt agreements, or limitations under Delaware law.

Although it is currently anticipated that we will continue to pay regular quarterly dividends, any such determination to pay dividends and the amounts thereof will be at the discretion of the Board and will be dependent on then-existing conditions, including our financial condition, income, legal requirements, including limitations under Delaware law, debt agreements, and other factors the Board deems relevant. The Board has previously decided, and may in the future decide, in its sole discretion, to change the amount or frequency of dividends or discontinue the payment of dividends entirely. For these reasons, stockholders will not be able to rely on dividends to receive a return on investment. Accordingly, realization of any gain on shares of our common stock may depend on the appreciation of the price of our common stock, which may never occur.

S-6

USE OF PROCEEDS

The selling stockholder will receive all of the net proceeds from the sale of the shares offered hereby. We will not receive any proceeds from this offering. However, under the registration rights agreement we are required to bear a portion of the expenses of the offering of common stock, except that the selling stockholder will pay any applicable underwriting fees, discounts, or commissions and certain transfer taxes.

S-7

DIVIDENDS

We paid common stock dividends of $1.5 billion for each of the nine months ended September 25, 2021 and September 26, 2020. Additionally, in the fourth quarter of 2021, our Board declared a cash dividend of $0.40 per share of common stock, which is payable on December 17, 2021 to stockholders of record on November 26, 2021. Because the closing date for this offering will be before November 26, 2021, purchasers that purchase shares in this offering and hold such shares through November 26, 2021 will be eligible to receive such dividend.

The declaration of dividends is subject to the discretion of our Board and depends on various factors, including our net income, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects, and other factors that our Board deems relevant to its analysis and decision making.

In connection with the sale of the shares offered hereby, the underwriter may be deemed to have received compensation in the form of underwriting discounts. The underwriter may effect such transactions by selling shares to or through dealers, and such dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions, or commissions from the underwriter and/or purchasers of shares for whom they may act as agents or to whom they may sell as principal.

No Sales of Similar Securities

We, Alexandre Van Damme, Miguel Patricio, and the selling stockholder, 3G Global Food Holdings and certain other affiliates thereof (each, a “lock-up party”) have agreed, subject to certain customary exceptions, not to sell or transfer any common stock or securities convertible into, exchangeable for, exercisable for, or repayable with common stock, for 45 days after the date of this prospectus supplement (the “lock-up period”), without first obtaining the written consent of BofA Securities, Inc. Specifically, we and these other persons have agreed, except subject to certain customary exceptions, not to directly or indirectly:

S-10

The customary exceptions include: (i) transfers pursuant to the lock-up agreement; (ii) as a bona fide gift or gifts; (iii) transfers by will or intestacy; (iv) transfers to any trust, partnership, limited liability company or other entity for the direct or indirect benefit of the lock-up party or the immediate family of the lock-up party; (v) transfers to any immediate family member or other dependent of the lock-up party; (vi) transfers as distribution to partners, members, affiliates, shareholders or stockholders of the lock-up party; (vii) to the lock-up party’s affiliates or to any investment fund or other entity controlled or managed by the lock-up party; (viii) to a nominee or custodian of a person or entity to whom a disposition or transfer would be permissible under clauses (ii) to (vii) above; (ix) pursuant to the “cashless” exercise at expiration of options granted pursuant to any employee equity incentive plan referred to in this prospectus supplement; (x) transfers to the Company in respect of tax withholding payments due upon the exercise at expiration of options or the vesting of restricted stock grants pursuant to any employee equity incentive plan referred to in the prospectus supplement; (xi) transfers to charitable organization transferees or recipients in an aggregate amount, together with any such transfers pursuant to any similar lock-up agreement with the underwriters, not to exceed 1.00% of the outstanding shares of common stock on the date of the final prospectus supplement; (xii) pursuant to a bona fide third-party takeover bid made to all holders of common stock or any other acquisition transaction whereby any “person” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), or group of persons, becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 of the Exchange Act) of at least 50% of total voting power of the voting stock of the Company or the surviving entity (provided that if such transaction is not consummated, the subject common stock shall remain subject to the restrictions set forth in the lock-up agreement); (xiii) pursuant to an order of a court or regulatory agency including pursuant to a qualified domestic order or in connection with a divorce settlement and (xiv) from an executive officer to the Company upon death, disability or termination of employment, in each case, of such executive officer.

Nasdaq Global Select Market Listing

The shares are listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “KHC.”

Price Stabilization, Short Positions

Until the distribution of the shares is completed, SEC rules may limit the underwriter and selling group members from bidding for and purchasing our shares. However, the underwriter may engage in transactions that stabilize the price of the shares, such as bids or purchases to peg, fix, or maintain that price.

In connection with the offering, the underwriter may purchase and sell our shares in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, purchases on the open market to cover positions created by short sales, and stabilizing transactions. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriter of a greater number of shares than it is required to purchase in the offering. The underwriter must close out any short position by purchasing shares in the open market. A short position is more likely to be created if the underwriter is concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of our shares in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect

S-11

investors who purchase in this offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of various bids for or purchases of shares made by the underwriter in the open market prior to the completion of this offering.

Similar to other purchase transactions, the underwriter’s purchases to cover short sales may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our shares or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our shares. As a result, the price of our shares may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. The underwriter may conduct these transactions on Nasdaq, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.

None of the Company, the selling stockholder or the underwriter makes any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our shares. In addition, none of the Company, the selling stockholder or the underwriter makes any representation that the underwriter will engage in these transactions or that these transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

Passive Market Making

In connection with this offering, the underwriter and selling stockholder may engage in passive market making transactions in the shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act during a period before the commencement of offers or sales of shares and extending through the completion of distribution. A passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid of that security. However, if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker’s bid, that bid must then be lowered when specified purchase limits are exceeded. Passive market making may cause the price of our shares to be higher than the price that otherwise would exist in the open market in the absence of those transactions. The underwriter and dealers are not required to engage in passive market making and may end passive market making activities at any time.

Electronic Distribution

In connection with the offering, certain of the underwriter or securities dealers may distribute prospectuses by electronic means, such as e-mail.

Conflicts of Interest; Other Relationships

Berkshire Hathaway Inc., directly and through its subsidiaries, owns more than 10% of the outstanding common stock of the Company and Bank of America Corporation, the parent company of BofA Securities, Inc. Accordingly, this offering is being made in compliance with the requirements of Rule 5121 of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. Because a bona fide public market exists for the Company’s common stock, pursuant to Rule 5121, the appointment of a qualified independent underwriter is not necessary. BofA Securities, Inc. will not confirm sales of the shares to any account over which it exercises discretionary authority without the prior written approval of the customer.

The underwriter and its affiliates have, from time to time, provided and/or are currently providing investment banking and financial advisory services to us and our affiliates. The underwriter and its affiliates may in the future provide various investment banking and other services to us, and our affiliates, for which they would receive customary compensation from us.

In addition, in the ordinary course of their business activities, the underwriter and its affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers. Such investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of ours or our affiliates. The underwriter or its affiliates that have a lending relationship with us may hedge their credit exposure to us consistent with their customary risk management policies. Typically, investment banking and other financial institutions, like the underwriter and its affiliates, would hedge such exposure by entering into transactions that

S-12

consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our securities, including potentially the shares offered hereby. Any such credit default swaps or short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the shares offered hereby. The underwriter and its affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or financial instruments and may hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

This prospectus provides you with a general description of the securities that we may offer. Each time we use this prospectus to offer securities, we will provide you with a prospectus supplement that will describe the specific amounts, prices, and terms of the securities being offered.

Important factors that may affect our business and operations and that may cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the impact of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”); operating in a highly competitive industry; our ability to correctly predict, identify, and interpret changes in consumer preferences and demand, to offer new products to meet those changes, and to respond to competitive innovation; changes in the retail landscape or the loss of key retail customers; changes in our relationships with significant customers, suppliers, and other business relationships; our ability to maintain, extend, and expand our reputation and brand image; our ability to leverage our brand value to compete against private label products; our ability to drive revenue growth in our key product categories, increase our market share, or add products that are in faster-growing and more profitable categories; product recalls or product liability claims; unanticipated business disruptions; our ability to identify, complete, or realize the benefits from strategic acquisitions, alliances, divestitures, joint ventures, or other investments; our ability to realize the anticipated benefits from prior or future streamlining actions to reduce fixed costs, simplify or improve processes, and improve our competitiveness; our ability to successfully execute our strategic initiatives; the impacts of our international operations; economic and political conditions in the United States and in various other nations where we do business; changes in our management team or other key personnel and our ability to hire or retain key personnel or a highly-skilled and diverse global workforce; risks associated with information technology and systems, including service interruptions, misappropriation of data, or breaches of security; impacts of natural events in the locations in which we or our customers, suppliers, distributors, or regulators operate; our ownership structure; our indebtedness and ability to pay such indebtedness, as well as our ability to comply with covenants under our debt instruments; our liquidity, capital resources, and capital expenditures, as well as our ability to raise capital; additional impairments of the carrying amounts of goodwill or other indefinite-lived intangible assets; foreign exchange rate fluctuations; volatility in commodity, energy, and other input costs; volatility in the market value of all or a portion of the commodity derivatives we use; increased pension, labor and people-related expenses; compliance with laws, regulations, and related interpretations and related legal claims or other regulatory enforcement actions, including additional risks and uncertainties related to any potential actions resulting from the SEC’s ongoing investigation, as well as potential additional subpoenas, litigation, and regulatory proceedings; potential future material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting or other deficiencies or our failure to maintain an effective system of internal controls; our failure to prepare and timely file our periodic reports; our ability to protect intellectual property rights; tax law changes or interpretations; the impact of future sales of our common stock in the public markets; our ability to continue to pay a regular dividend and the amounts of any such dividends; volatility of capital markets and other macroeconomic factors; a downgrade in our credit rating; and other factors. For additional information on these and other factors that could affect our forward-looking statements, please see the risks and uncertainties described or referred to under the heading “Risk Factors” of this prospectus; Item 1A, Risk Factors, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2019; and Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 26, 2020, in each case incorporated by reference herein.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our securities involves risk. Before you decide whether to purchase any of our securities, in addition to the other information, documents, or reports included in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement or other offering materials, you should carefully consider the risk factors in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in any prospectus supplement as well as Kraft Heinz’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and most recent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus and any prospectus supplement, as the same may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by our filings under the Exchange Act. For more information, please see the section entitled “Incorporation by Reference.” These risks could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition and could result in a partial or complete loss of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business operations, results of operation, financial condition, or prospects.

5

USE OF PROCEEDS

Unless otherwise stated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we expect to use the net proceeds from the sale of the offered securities for general corporate purposes. General corporate purposes may include repayment of debt, additions to working capital, capital expenditures, investments in our subsidiaries, possible acquisitions, and the repurchase, redemption or retirement of securities, including our common stock. The net proceeds may be temporarily invested or applied to repay short-term or revolving debt prior to use. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, we do not expect to receive any proceeds from the sale of securities by any selling securityholder.

DESCRIPTION OF KHFC DEBT SECURITIES

We have summarized below certain general terms and provisions of KHFC’s debt securities that we may offer under this prospectus. The particular terms of a series of such debt securities offered by a prospectus supplement will be described in that prospectus supplement. The debt securities may be issued under, and entitled to the benefits of, an indenture, dated as of July 1, 2015, between KHFC, as issuer, Kraft Heinz, as guarantor, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (as successor to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association), as trustee (the “Indenture”).

This prospectus briefly describes the material provisions of the Indenture. The following summary does not purport to be a complete description of the Indenture, which has been incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and is subject to the detailed provisions of, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Indenture, including any terms deemed to be a part thereof by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “TIA”). For your reference, in the summary that follows, we have included references to section numbers of the Indenture so that you can more easily locate these provisions.

The material financial, legal, and other terms particular to each series of KHFC debt securities will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to the debt securities of that series. The prospectus supplement relating to the debt securities of such series will be attached to the front of this prospectus. The prospectus supplement will also state whether any of the terms summarized below do not apply to the series of debt securities being offered. You should read the more detailed provisions of the Indenture, including the defined terms, for provisions that may be important to you. You should also read the particular terms of the series of KHFC debt securities, which will be described in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement.

We are not required to issue future issues of debt securities under the Indenture described in this prospectus. We are free to use other Indentures or documentation, containing provisions different from those described in this prospectus, in connection with future issues of other debt securities.

Capitalized terms used below are defined under “Defined Terms.” In this description of KHFC debt securities, the term “debt securities” refers to the senior unsecured debt securities issued by KHFC and the terms “we,” “our,” and “us” refer collectively to KHFC, as the issuer (or “Issuer”) of such debt securities, and Kraft Heinz, as the guarantor (or “Guarantor”) of such debt securities, and unless otherwise indicated, not to any of Kraft Heinz’s other subsidiaries.

General

The debt securities will rank equally with all of our other senior unsecured debt. The payment of the principal, premium, and interest on such debt securities will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Kraft Heinz. None of Kraft Heinz’s subsidiaries will guarantee the debt securities. The Indenture does not limit the amount of debt we may issue and provides that additional debt securities may be issued up to the aggregate principal amount authorized by or pursuant to a board resolution. We may issue the debt securities from time to time in one or more series with the same or various maturities, at par, at a discount, or at a premium. The prospectus supplement relating to any debt securities being offered will include specific terms relating to the offering, including the particular amount, price, and other terms of those debt securities. These terms will include some or all of the following:

7

8

(Section 301)

We may issue debt securities as OID debt securities. OID debt securities bear no interest or bear interest at below-market rates and are sold at a discount below their stated principal amount. If we issue OID debt securities, the prospectus supplement will contain the issue price of the securities and the rate at which and the date from which discount will accrete.

We may also issue indexed debt securities. Payments of principal of, and any premium and interest on, indexed debt securities are determined with reference to the rate of exchange between the currency or currency unit in which the debt security is denominated and any other currency or currency unit specified by us, to the relationship between two or more currencies or currency units, to the price of one or more specified securities or commodities, to one or more securities or commodities exchange indices or other indices, or by other similar methods or formulas, all as specified in the prospectus supplement.

Consolidation, Merger, or Sale

We have agreed not to consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or convey, transfer, or lease all or substantially all of our properties and assets to any person, unless:

In the event that we consolidate with or merge into another entity or convey, transfer, or lease all or substantially all of our assets to any person, the successor purchaser will assume all of our obligations, as applicable, under the Indenture as if it were an original party to the Indenture, and we will be discharged from all of our obligations under the Indenture. After assuming such obligations, the successor purchaser will have all of our rights and powers under the Indenture.

(Sections 801 and 802)

9

Waivers Under the Indenture

Under the Indenture, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may, on behalf of all holders of that series:

(Sections 513 and 1009)

Events of Default

When we use the term “Event of Default” in the Indenture with respect to a particular series of debt securities, we mean any of the following:

(Section 501)

The supplemental indenture, applicable officer’s certificate, or the form of security for a particular series of debt securities may include additional Events of Default or changes to the Events of Default described above. The Events of Default applicable to a particular series of debt securities will be discussed in the prospectus supplement relating to such series.

A default with respect to a single series of debt securities under the Indenture will not necessarily constitute a default with respect to any other series of debt securities issued under the Indenture. A default under our other indebtedness will not be a default under the Indenture. The trustee may withhold notice to the holders of debt securities of any default, except for defaults that involve our failure to pay principal or interest or to make any sinking fund payment, if it determines in good faith that the withholding of notice is in the interest of the holders. (Section 602)

10

If an Event of Default for any series of debt securities occurs and continues (other than an Event of Default involving our bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization), either the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of the affected series may require us upon notice in writing to us, to immediately repay the entire principal (or, in the case of (a) OID debt securities, a lesser amount as provided in those OID debt securities or (b) indexed debt securities, an amount determined by the terms of those indexed debt securities), of all the debt securities of such series together with accrued interest on the debt securities.

If an Event of Default occurs that involves our bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization, then all unpaid principal amounts (or, if the debt securities are (a) OID debt securities, then the portion of the principal amount that is specified in those OID debt securities or (b) indexed debt securities, then the portion of the principal amount that is determined by the terms of those indexed debt securities) and accrued interest on all debt securities of each series will immediately become due and payable, without any action by the trustee or any holder of debt securities. (Section 502)

Subject to certain conditions, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of a series may rescind a declaration of acceleration if all Events of Default, besides the failure to pay principal or interest due solely because of the declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived. (Section 502)

Other than its duties in case of a default, the trustee is not obligated to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indenture at the request, order, or direction of any holders, unless the holders offer the trustee indemnity satisfactory to the trustee. The holders of a majority in principal amount outstanding of any series of debt securities may, subject to certain limitations, direct the time, method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee, or exercising any power conferred upon the trustee, for any series of debt securities. (Sections 507 and 512)

The Indenture requires us to file each year with the trustee, an officer’s certificate that states that:

(Section 1005)

A judgment for money damages by courts in the United States, including a money judgment based on an obligation expressed in a foreign currency, will ordinarily be rendered only in U.S. dollars. New York statutory law provides that a court shall render a judgment or decree in the foreign currency of the underlying obligation and that the judgment or decree shall be converted into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of entry of the judgment or decree. If a court requires a conversion to be made on a date other than a judgment date, the Indenture requires us to pay additional amounts necessary to ensure that the amount paid in U.S. dollars to a holder is equal to the amount due in such foreign currency. (Section 516)

Payment

We will pay the principal of, and any premium and interest on, fully registered securities at the place or places that we will designate for such purposes. We will make payment to the persons in whose names the debt securities are registered on the close of business on the day or days that we will specify in accordance with the Indenture. We will pay the principal of, and any premium on, registered debt securities only against surrender of those debt securities. Any other payments, including payment on any securities issued in bearer form, will be made as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. (Section 307)

11

Restrictive Covenants

The Indenture includes the following restrictive covenants:

Limitations on Liens

The Indenture limits the amount of Liens that Kraft Heinz or any Restricted Subsidiaries may incur or otherwise create in order to secure indebtedness for borrowed money, upon any Principal Facility or any shares of capital stock that any of Kraft Heinz’s Subsidiaries owning any Principal Facility has issued to Kraft Heinz or any of its Subsidiaries. If Kraft Heinz or any Restricted Subsidiaries incur such Liens, then Kraft Heinz will secure the debt securities to the same extent and in the same proportion as the debt that is secured by such Liens. This covenant does not apply, however, to any Liens:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, we and/or any Restricted Subsidiaries may incur Liens that would otherwise be subject to the restriction described above, without securing debt securities issued under the Indenture equally and ratably, if the aggregate value of all outstanding indebtedness secured by the Liens and the value of Sale and Leaseback Transactions does not at the time exceed the greater of:

(Section 1007)

12

Sale and Leaseback Transactions

A Sale and Leaseback Transaction by Kraft Heinz or any Restricted Subsidiary of any Principal Facility is prohibited, unless:

There are no other restrictive covenants in the Indenture. The Indenture will not require us to maintain any financial ratios or minimum levels of net worth or liquidity and does not restrict the payment of dividends or other distributions on our capital stock or the redemption or purchase of our capital stock.

(Section 1008)

Defined Terms

“Attributable Debt” means, with regard to a Sale and Leaseback Transaction with respect to a Principal Facility, an amount equal to the lesser of: (a) the fair market value of the property (as determined in good faith by Kraft Heinz’s board of directors); and (b) the present value of the total net amount of rent payments to be made under the lease during its remaining term (including any period for which such lease has been extended and excluding any unexercised renewal or other extension options exercisable by the lessee, and excluding amounts on account of maintenance and repairs, services, taxes, and similar charges and contingent rents), discounted at the rate of interest set forth or implicit in the terms of the lease (or, if not practicable to determine such rate, the weighted average interest rate per annum borne by the debt securities then outstanding), compounded semi-annually.

“Consolidated Capitalization” means the total assets appearing on the Guarantor’s most recent available consolidated balance sheet, less:

13

“Consolidated Net Tangible Assets” means the excess of all assets over current liabilities appearing on the Guarantor’s most recent available consolidated balance sheet, less goodwill and other intangible assets and the minority interests of others in Subsidiaries.

“Lien” means any mortgage or deed of trust, charge, pledge, lien (statutory or otherwise), privilege, security interest, assignment, easement, hypothecation, claim, preference, priority or other encumbrance upon or with respect to any property of any kind (including any conditional sale, capital lease or other title retention agreement, any leases in the nature thereof) real or personal, moveable or immovable, now owned or hereafter acquired; provided, however, that in no event shall an operating lease be deemed to constitute a Lien.

“Person” means any individual, firm, corporation, partnership, association, joint venture, tribunal, trust, government or political subdivision or agency or instrumentality thereof, or any other entity or organization.

“Principal Facility” means all real property owned and operated by the Guarantor or any Subsidiary located within the United States and constituting part of any manufacturing plant or distribution facility, including all attached plumbing, electrical, ventilating, heating, cooling, lighting and other utility systems, ducts and pipes but excluding trade fixtures (unless their removal would cause substantial damage to the manufacturing plant or distribution facility), business machinery, equipment, motorized vehicles, tools, supplies and materials, security systems, cameras, inventory and other personal property and materials; provided, however, that no manufacturing plant or distribution facility will be a Principal Facility unless its net book value exceeds 2% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.

“Restricted Subsidiary” means any Subsidiary of the Guarantor (a) substantially all the property of which is located, or substantially all the business of which is carried on, within the United States and (b) that owns a Principal Facility.

“Sale and Leaseback Transaction” means the sale or transfer of a Principal Facility with the intention of taking back a lease of the property, except (i) a lease for a temporary period of less than three years, including renewals, with the intent that the use by the Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary will be discontinued on or before the expiration of such period or (ii) a lease between the Guarantor and one or more of its Subsidiaries or between one or more Subsidiaries of the Guarantor.

“Subsidiary” means, with respect to any Person, any corporation, association, partnership or other business entity of which more than 50% of the total voting power is at the time owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by: (1) such Person, (2) such Person and one or more Subsidiaries of such Person or (3) one or more Subsidiaries of such Person. Unless otherwise specified or the context shall otherwise require, “Subsidiary” means a Subsidiary of the Guarantor.

(Section 101)

Global Securities

We may issue the debt securities in whole or in part in the form of one or more global securities that will be deposited with, or on behalf of, a depositary identified in the applicable prospectus supplement.

We may issue the global securities in either registered or bearer form and in either temporary or permanent form. We will describe the specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to a series of debt securities in the applicable prospectus supplement. We anticipate that the following provisions will apply to all depositary arrangements.

Once a global security is issued, the depositary will credit on its book-entry system the respective principal amounts of the individual debt securities represented by that global security to the accounts of institutions that have accounts with the depositary. These institutions are known as participants.

14

The underwriters for the debt securities will designate the accounts to be credited. However, if we have offered or sold the debt securities either directly or through agents, we or the agents will designate the appropriate accounts to be credited.

Ownership of beneficial interests in a global security will be limited to participants or persons that may hold beneficial interests through participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in a global security will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by the depositary’s participants or persons that may hold through participants. The laws of some states require that certain purchasers of debt securities take physical delivery of such securities. Those laws may limit the market for beneficial interests in a global security.

So long as the depositary for a global security, or its nominee, is the registered owner of a global security, the depositary or nominee will be considered the sole owner or holder of the debt securities represented by the global security for all purposes under the Indenture. Except as provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, owners of beneficial interests in a global security will not:

Payments of principal of, and any premium and interest on, the individual debt securities registered in the name of the depositary or its nominee will be made to the depositary or its nominee as the registered owner of that global security.

Neither we nor the trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests of a global security, or for maintaining, supervising, or reviewing any records relating to beneficial ownership interests and we and the trustee each may act or refrain from acting without liability on any information provided by the depositary.

We expect that the depositary, after receiving any payment of principal of, and any premium and interest on, a global security, will immediately credit the accounts of the participants with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective holdings in principal amount of beneficial interest in a global security as shown on the records of the depositary. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in a global security will be governed by standing customer instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with debt securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of such participants.

Debt securities represented by a global security will be exchangeable for debt securities in definitive form of like tenor in authorized denominations only if:

Unless and until a global security is exchanged in whole or in part for debt securities in definitive certificated form, it may not be transferred or exchanged except as a whole by the depositary.

15

Registration of Transfer

You may transfer or exchange certificated debt securities at any office that we maintain for this purpose in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. We will not charge a service fee for any transfer or exchange of certificated debt securities, but we may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that we are required to pay in connection with a transfer or exchange. (Section 305)

You may effect the transfer of certificated debt securities and the right to receive the principal of, and any premium and interest on, certificated debt securities only by surrendering the certificate representing those certificated debt securities and either reissuance by us or the trustee of the certificate to the new holder or the issuance by us or the trustee of a new certificate to the new holder.

We are not required to:

(Section 305)

Exchange

At your option, you may exchange your registered debt securities of any series, except a global security, for an equal principal amount of other registered debt securities of the same series having authorized denominations upon surrender to our designated agent.

We may at any time exchange debt securities issued as one or more global securities for an equal principal amount of debt securities of the same series in definitive registered form. In this case, we will deliver to the holders new debt securities in definitive registered form in the same aggregate principal amount as the global securities being exchanged.

The depositary of the global securities may also decide at any time to surrender one or more global securities in exchange for debt securities of the same series in definitive registered form, in which case we will deliver the new debt securities in definitive form to the persons specified by the depositary, in an aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, each person’s beneficial interest in the global securities.

Notwithstanding the above, we will not be required to exchange any debt securities if, as a result of the exchange, we would suffer adverse consequences under any United States law or regulation. (Section 305)

Defeasance

Unless otherwise specified in the prospectus supplement, we can terminate all of our obligations under the Indenture with respect to an applicable series of debt securities, other than the obligation to pay the principal of, and any premium and interest on, the debt securities and certain other obligations, at any time by:

16

In addition, unless otherwise specified in the prospectus supplement, we can terminate all of our obligations, with minor exceptions, under the Indenture with respect to the debt securities, including the obligation to pay the principal of, and any premium and interest on, the debt securities, at any time by:

(Sections 402-404)

Payments of Unclaimed Moneys

Moneys deposited with the trustee or any paying agent for the payment of principal of, or any premium and interest on, any debt securities that remain unclaimed for two years will be repaid to us at our written request, unless the law requires otherwise. If this happens and you want to claim these moneys, you must look to us and not to the trustee or paying agent. (Section 409)

Supplemental Indentures Not Requiring Consent of Holders

Without the consent of any holders of debt securities, we and the trustee may supplement the Indenture, among other things, to:

(Section 901)

17

Supplemental Indentures Requiring Consent of Holders

With the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of each series of the debt securities that would be affected by a modification of the Indenture, the Indenture permits us and the trustee to supplement the Indenture or modify in any way the terms of the Indenture or the rights of the holders of the debt securities of such series. However, without the consent of each holder of all of the debt securities affected by that modification, we and the trustee may not:

(Section 902)

A supplemental indenture that modifies or eliminates a provision intended to benefit the holders of one series of debt securities will not affect the rights under the Indenture of holders of other series of debt securities.

Redemption

The specific terms of any redemption of a series of debt securities will be contained in the prospectus supplement for that series. Generally, we must send notice of redemption to the holders at least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior to the redemption date. The notice will specify:

18

(Section 1104)

Prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time on any redemption date, we will deposit an amount of money with the trustee or with a paying agent sufficient to pay the redemption price. (Section 1105)

If less than all the debt securities are being redeemed, the trustee shall select the debt securities to be redeemed using a method it considers fair. (Section 1103)

After the redemption date, holders of debt securities that were redeemed will have no rights with respect to the debt securities except the right to receive the redemption price and any unpaid interest to the redemption date. (Section 1106)

Concerning the Trustee

Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas is the trustee under the Indenture. Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas has performed and will perform other services for us and certain of our subsidiaries in the normal course of its business.

Governing Law

The laws of the State of New York govern the Indenture and will govern the debt securities. (Section 112)

DESCRIPTION OF KRAFT HEINZ CAPITAL STOCK

Kraft Heinz is authorized to issue five billion (5,000,000,000) shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and nine hundred twenty thousand (920,000) shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. As of November 4, 2020, there were 1,222,625,469 shares of common stock outstanding and no shares of preferred stock outstanding.

Under Kraft Heinz’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), Kraft Heinz may issue preferred stock in one or more series, with preferences, limitations, and rights as authorized by Kraft Heinz’s board of directors (the “Board”), to the extent permitted by Delaware law. Kraft Heinz will distribute a prospectus supplement with regard to any series of preferred stock offered under this prospectus. Any applicable prospectus supplement will describe, as to the preferred stock to which it relates, the title of the series, voting rights of the holders, dividends, if any, payable with regard to the series, redemption terms, liquidation preference, conversion rights, and any other material terms of the series. The powers (including voting, if any), preferences, and relative, participating, optional, and other special rights of each series of preferred stock, and the qualifications, limitations, or restrictions thereof, if any, may differ from those of any and all other classes and series of preferred stock at any time outstanding. The issuance of preferred stock may adversely affect the rights of Kraft Heinz’s common stockholders by, among other things:

As a result of these or other factors, the issuance of preferred stock could have an adverse impact on the market price of Kraft Heinz’s common stock. Kraft Heinz’s common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC and trades under the ticker symbol “KHC.” All outstanding shares of common stock are validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable. The description of the terms of Kraft Heinz’s preferred stock and common stock is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated By-Laws (the “By-Laws”). To find out where copies of these documents can be obtained, please see the section of this prospectus entitled “Where You Can Find More Information.”

Dividend and Liquidation Rights

Subject to the preferences applicable to any shares of preferred stock outstanding at any time, holders of Kraft Heinz’s common stock are entitled to receive dividends when and as declared by the Board from assets or funds legally available therefore. The timing, declaration, amount, and payment of future dividends will depend on our financial condition, earnings, capital requirements, and debt service obligations, as well as legal requirements, regulatory constraints, industry practice, and other factors that the Board deems relevant. The Board will make all decisions regarding the payment of dividends from time to time in accordance with applicable law. Subject to any preferential liquidation rights of holders of preferred stock that may be outstanding, upon Kraft Heinz’s dissolution, the holders of Kraft Heinz’s common stock will be entitled to share ratably in our assets legally available for distribution to Kraft Heinz’s stockholders.

Voting and Other Rights

Each share of Kraft Heinz’s common stock outstanding is entitled to one vote on all matters on which stockholders generally are entitled to vote. However, except as required by law, holders of common stock are not entitled to vote on any amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding class or series of preferred stock if the holders of such affected class or series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such class or series, to vote thereon pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation or the Delaware General Corporation Law.

20

The By-Laws provide that, except as required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or the rules of any stock exchange upon which Kraft Heinz’s capital stock is listed, all corporate actions to be taken by vote of the stockholders shall be authorized by a majority of the votes cast by the stockholders entitled to vote thereon who are present in person or represented by proxy, and where a separate vote by class or series is required, a majority of the votes cast by the stockholders of such class or series who are present in person or represented by proxy shall be the act of such class or series; provided that the election of directors shall be determined by the vote of a majority of the votes cast or a plurality.

The holders of Kraft Heinz’s common stock have no preemptive rights and no rights to convert their common stock into any other securities. Kraft Heinz’s common stock is not subject to any redemption or sinking fund provisions.

Anti-takeover Effects of Certain Provisions of the Kraft Heinz Certificate of Incorporation and the Kraft Heinz By-Laws

General

The Certificate of Incorporation and the By-Laws contain provisions that are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of the Board and that could make it more difficult to acquire control of the Company by means of a tender offer, open market purchases, a proxy contest, or otherwise. A description of these provisions is set forth below.

No Cumulative Voting

Under Delaware law, the right to vote cumulatively does not exist unless the certificate of incorporation specifically authorizes cumulative voting. The Certificate of Incorporation does not grant stockholders the right to vote cumulatively.

Blank Check Preferred Stock

We believe that the availability of the preferred stock under the Certificate of Incorporation provides Kraft Heinz with flexibility in addressing corporate issues that may arise. Having these authorized shares available for issuance will allow Kraft Heinz to issue shares of preferred stock without the expense and delay of a special stockholders’ meeting. The authorized shares of preferred stock, as well as shares of common stock, will be available for issuance without further action by Kraft Heinz’s shareholders, with the exception of any actions required by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange on which Kraft Heinz’s securities may be listed. The Board will have the power, subject to applicable law, to issue classes or series of preferred stock that could, depending on the terms of the class or series, impede the completion of a merger, tender offer, or other takeover attempt.

Stockholder Action by Written Consent

The Certificate of Incorporation provides that any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders of Kraft Heinz may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, and without a vote if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, are signed by the holders of outstanding capital stock of Kraft Heinz having not less than the minimum number of votes necessary to authorize such action at a meeting at which all shares of capital stock entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.

Transfer Agent

The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is EQ Shareowner Services.

21

DESCRIPTION OF OTHER SECURITIES

We will set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement or a post-effective amendment to our registration statement, a description of any other debt securities, preferred stock, depositary shares, warrants, purchase contracts, guarantees, or units that we or any selling securityholder may offer pursuant to this prospectus.

SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS

Information about selling securityholders, if any, will be set forth in a prospectus supplement, in a post-effective amendment, or in other filings we make with the SEC under the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We or the selling securityholders may sell the offered securities: (a) through agents; (b) through underwriters or dealers; (c) directly to one or more purchasers; or (d) through a combination of any of these methods of sale. Any selling securityholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner, and size of each sale of the securities covered by this prospectus. We will identify the specific plan of distribution, including any underwriters, dealers, agents, or direct purchasers and their compensation in a prospectus supplement.

Sales of shares of common stock and other securities also may be effected from time to time in one or more types of transactions (which may include block transactions, special offerings, exchange distributions, secondary distributions or purchases by a broker or dealer) on a national securities exchange or automated trading and quotation system on which the common stock or other securities are listed, in the over-the-counter market, in hedging or derivatives transactions, negotiated transactions, through options transactions relating to the shares (whether these options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise), through the settlement of short sales or a combination of such methods of sale, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at negotiated prices or at fixed prices. The securities may also be exchanged for satisfaction of the selling securityholders’ obligations or other liabilities to their creditors. Such transactions may or may not involve brokers or dealers. Any shares of common stock offered under this prospectus will be listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (or such other stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the common stock is listed), subject to official notice of issuance.

The selling securityholders might not sell any securities under this prospectus. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus that qualify for sale pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act may be sold pursuant to such exemption rather than pursuant to this prospectus.
