COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION SUMMARY

Consistent with the provisions of Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and related U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules, we are asking our stockholders to vote to approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, the compensation of our Named Executive Officers (as defined under "Compensation Discussion and Analysis"). This "say-on-pay" vote is not intended to address any specific item of our compensation program, but rather to address our overall approach to the compensation of our Named Executive Officers as described in this Proxy Statement.

Our executive compensation program is designed to encourage and reward behavior that promotes attainment of annual and long-term Lamb Weston goals and sustainable growth in value for our stockholders. Our Compensation Committee believes that the program should accomplish the following objectives:

As described in further detail under "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" below, consistent with these objectives, our compensation program has been designed with a view toward linking a significant portion of the compensation of each Named Executive Officer to Company performance and the growth in the value of Lamb Weston. Please read "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" and "Executive Compensation Tables" in this Proxy Statement for additional details about our executive compensation programs, including information about our Named Executive Officers' fiscal year 2017 compensation.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" FREQUENCY OF VOTES ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Section 14A of the Exchange Act and related SEC rules also enable our stockholders to indicate how frequently they want to hold an advisory vote on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers. We ask that our stockholders cast an advisory (non-binding) vote on how frequently we should have such votes in the future. Our Board of Directors recommends that stockholders vote to annually approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our Named Executive Officers.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" APPROVAL OF THE MATERIAL TERMS FOR QUALIFIED PERFORMANCE-BASED COMPENSATION UNDER THE LAMB WESTON 2016 STOCK PLAN

We are asking our stockholders to approve the material terms for qualified performance-based compensation under the Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc. 2016 Stock Plan. We established the 2016 Stock Plan effective November 9, 2016, upon approval by our former parent, Conagra Brands, Inc. (formerly, ConAgra Foods, Inc., "Conagra"), as our sole stockholder at that time. We are asking that our stockholders approve the material terms for qualified performance-based compensation under the 2016 Stock Plan to preserve our ability to deduct, for federal income tax purposes, compensation paid pursuant to our executive incentive compensation program.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" AUDITORS

As a matter of good governance, we are asking our stockholders to ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending May 27, 2018.

ITEM 1. ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Director Nomination and Qualification

On November 9, 2016, we separated from Conagra and became an independent publicly traded company through the pro rata distribution by Conagra of 100% of the outstanding common stock of Lamb Weston to Conagra stockholders (which we refer to as the "Separation" or "spinoff"). Each Conagra stockholder of record on November 1, 2016 received one share of Lamb Weston common stock for every three shares of Conagra common stock held on the record date. Our common stock began "regular way" trading under the ticker symbol "LW" on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") on November 10, 2016.

Other than Mr. Hawaux and Ms. Moddelmog, each of our current directors was appointed as a director prior to the Separation while we were a wholly owned subsidiary of Conagra and joined the Lamb Weston Board of Directors (the "Board") in connection with the Separation. Timothy R. McLevish and W.G. Jurgensen were current directors of Conagra and resigned from the Conagra board of directors to join the Board in connection with the Separation. Andrew J. Schindler, a former Conagra director who retired from the Conagra board of directors in September 2016, also joined the Board. In connection with the Separation, Mr. McLevish, who had been selected to serve as our Executive Chairman, and Thomas P. Werner, who had been selected to serve as our President, Chief Executive Officer and Director, conducted a search and recruitment of additional directors to serve on our Board, leading to the appointments of Charles A. Blixt, Thomas P. Maurer and Maria Renna Sharpe. In addition, during 2017, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the "Governance Committee") of our Board retained a third-party search firm to assist in the search and recruitment of directors, resulting in the Board's appointments of Andre J. Hawaux and Hala G. Moddelmog as directors on July 19, 2017. Our directors, including the nominees, have not been elected by our public stockholders.

On July 20, 2017, Mr. McLevish notified the Company of his decision not to stand for re-election to the Board at the Annual Meeting. Mr. McLevish will remain in his current role until the Annual Meeting. Following the Annual Meeting, the Board will appoint current lead independent director W.G. Jurgensen to the role of non-executive Chairman.

The Governance Committee of our Board is responsible for identifying, evaluating and recommending to the Board nominees for election at the Annual Meeting. The Governance Committee considers Board candidates suggested by Board members, management and stockholders. As discussed above, the Governance Committee may also retain a third-party search firm to identify candidates. A stockholder who wishes to nominate a candidate for election as a director must follow the procedures set forth in our bylaws, which are described under "2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders" below.

If a potential candidate is identified, the Governance Committee will determine whether to conduct a full evaluation of the candidate. This determination is based on whether additional Board members are necessary or desirable. It is also based on whether, in light of the information provided or otherwise available to the Governance Committee, the prospective nominee is likely to satisfy the director qualifications and other factors described below. If the Governance Committee determines that additional consideration is warranted, it may request a third-party search firm or other third party to gather additional information about the prospective nominee. The Governance Committee may also elect to interview a candidate.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" General Qualifications

The Board believes all directors should possess certain attributes, including integrity, sound business judgment and vision, to serve on our Board. We believe these characteristics are necessary to establish a competent, ethical and well-functioning Board that best represents the interests of our business, stockholders, employees, business partners and consumers. Under our Corporate Governance Principles (the "Principles"), when evaluating the suitability of individuals for nomination, the Governance Committee considers the individual's background, the Board's skill needs, diversity and business experience. The

ZEQ.=1,SEQ=8,EFW="2232894",CP="LAMB WESTON HOLDINGS, INC.",DN="1",CHK=685775,FOLIO='3',FILE='DISK124:[17ZBT1.17ZBT48601]DA48601A.;20',USER='CHE105540',CD=';9-AUG-2017;00:34'

Table of Contents

Governance Committee also considers an individual's ability to devote sufficient time and effort to fulfill his or her Lamb Weston responsibilities, taking into account the individual's other commitments. In addition, the Governance Committee considers whether an individual meets various independence requirements, including whether his or her service on boards and committees of other organizations is consistent with our conflicts of interest policy.

When determining whether to recommend a director for re-election, the Governance Committee also considers the director's attendance at Board and committee meetings and participation in, and contributions to, Board and committee activities.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Diversity

The Principles provide that the Governance Committee will review with the Board the requisite skills and characteristics for Board members, a review which includes assessing diversity. Although the Board does not have a formal written policy regarding diversity, the Governance Committee believes that diversity offers a significant benefit to the Board and Lamb Weston, as varying viewpoints contribute to a more informed and effective decision-making process. The Governance Committee seeks broad experience in relevant industries, professions and areas of expertise important to our operations, including manufacturing, marketing, finance and accounting. As shown below under "Individual Skills and Experience," the director nominees have varied experiences, backgrounds and personal characteristics, which ensure that the Board will have diverse viewpoints, enabling it to effectively represent our business, stockholders, employees, business partners and consumers.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Individual Skills and Experience

When evaluating potential director nominees, the Governance Committee considers each individual's professional expertise and educational background in addition to the general qualifications described above. The Governance Committee evaluates each individual in the context of the Board as a whole. The Governance Committee works with the Board to determine the appropriate mix of backgrounds and experiences that would establish and maintain a Board that is strong in its collective knowledge, allowing the Board to fulfill its responsibilities and best perpetuate our long-term success and represent our stockholders' interests. To help the Governance Committee determine whether director nominees qualify to serve on our Board and would contribute to the Board's current and future needs, director nominees complete questionnaires regarding their backgrounds, qualifications, skills and potential conflicts of interest. Additionally, the Governance Committee will conduct annual evaluations of the Board that assess the experience, skills, qualifications, diversity and contributions of each individual and of the group as a whole.

The Governance Committee communicates with the Board to identify characteristics, professional experience and areas of expertise that will help meet specific Board needs, including:

ITEM 2. ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

In accordance with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the "Dodd-Frank Act") and related SEC rules, we are asking our stockholders to vote to approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, the compensation of our Named Executive Officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement. Your vote is not intended to address any specific item of our compensation programs, but rather to address our overall approach to the compensation of our Named Executive Officers described in this Proxy Statement. As described in detail under "Compensation Discussion and Analysis," our executive compensation programs are designed to attract, retain and motivate superior executive talent, including our Named Executive Officers, who are critical to our success. At the same time, we structure our executive compensation programs to focus on stockholders' interests by incenting superior sustainable performance. Under these programs, we align pay and performance by making a significant portion of our Named Executive Officers' compensation contingent on:

We also have strong compensation-related governance practices to protect our stockholders' interests. You can find more information about these practices under "Board Committees and MembershipCompensation Committee" and "Compensation Discussion and Analysis." These practices include the following:

Please read "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" and "Executive Compensation Tables" in this Proxy Statement for specific details about our executive compensation programs. The Compensation Committee and the Board believe that our executive compensation programs for our Named Executive Officers serve our stockholders' interests. Accordingly, we ask you to vote "FOR" the following resolution at our Annual Meeting:

ZEQ.=1,SEQ=18,EFW="2232894",CP="LAMB WESTON HOLDINGS, INC.",DN="1",CHK=32138,FOLIO='13',FILE='DISK124:[17ZBT1.17ZBT48601]DC48601A.;11',USER='CHE105614',CD=';8-AUG-2017;04:54'

Table of Contents

This "say-on-pay" vote is advisory. Therefore, it will not be binding on Lamb Weston, the Compensation Committee or the Board. However, the Board and Compensation Committee value our stockholders' opinions and expect to consider the outcome of the vote, along with other relevant factors, when considering Named Executive Officer compensation in the future.

The Board recommends a vote "FOR" the advisory approval of our Named Executive Officers' compensation as disclosed in this Proxy Statement.

ITEM 3. ADVISORY VOTE ON THE FREQUENCY OF AN ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

In accordance with the Dodd-Frank Act and related SEC rules, we are asking our stockholders to indicate how frequently they want to hold an advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to the SEC's compensation disclosure rules, such as the advisory vote described in Item 2 in this Proxy Statement. By voting on this Item 3, stockholders may indicate whether they would prefer an advisory vote on named executive officer compensation once every one, two or three years. This non-binding "frequency" vote is required at least once every six years, beginning with this Annual Meeting.

After careful consideration, the Board determined that an annual advisory say-on-pay vote is the most appropriate choice for Lamb Weston at this time. For the reasons described below, the Board recommends that you vote for an annual advisory say-on-pay vote.

The Board believes that stockholders should vote annually to approve named executive officer compensation in order to provide us timely, direct input regarding our compensation philosophy, policies and practices. In addition, an annual advisory say-on-pay vote is consistent with our practice of engaging with our stockholders on corporate governance matters and our executive compensation program.

In voting on this proposal, you should be aware that you are not voting "for" or "against" the Board's recommendation to vote for a frequency of one year for holding future advisory votes on named executive officer compensation. Rather, you are voting on your preferred voting frequency by choosing the option of every one year, two years or three years. You may also abstain from voting on this proposal. Because this vote is advisory and not binding, the Board and Compensation Committee may decide that it is in the best interests of our stockholders and Lamb Weston to hold an advisory vote on executive compensation more or less frequently than the option approved by our stockholders.

The Board recommends a vote for an interval of "1 YEAR" for the advisory vote on named executive officer compensation.

ITEM 4. APPROVAL OF THE MATERIAL TERMS FOR QUALIFIED PERFORMANCE-BASED COMPENSATION UNDER THE LAMB WESTON HOLDINGS, INC. 2016 STOCK PLAN

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" General

In October 2016, our Board and Conagra, as our sole stockholder at the time, approved and adopted the Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc. 2016 Stock Plan (the "2016 Plan") in anticipation of our spinoff as an independent, publicly traded company. In July 2017, our Board amended the 2016 Plan to, among other changes, (i) clarify the maximum share limits for equity awards granted to any one participant in any fiscal year, (ii) provide any dividend equivalents payable with respect to an equity award may only be accumulated and paid upon vesting of shares underlying the equity award and (iii) update the definition of "Change of Control" for consistency with our forms of equity award agreements. These changes did not require stockholder approval under the terms of the 2016 Plan or the applicable stock exchange rules. The descriptions of the 2016 Plan in this Proxy Statement are of the 2016 Plan as so amended. The 2016 Plan affords our Compensation Committee (or its successor), or any other committee of the Board designated by the Board to administer the 2016 Plan (the Compensation Committee or such other committee designated by the Board, as applicable, is referred to in this Item 4 as the "Committee"), the flexibility to design equity-based awards and other compensatory incentive awards that are responsive to our business needs and designed to advance the interests and long-term success of Lamb Weston.

The sole reason for submitting this proposal to stockholders is to obtain stockholder approval of the material terms for "qualified performance-based compensation" under the 2016 Plan for purposes of Section 162(m) ("Section 162(m)") of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Stockholders are not being asked to approve the 2016 Plan. Instead, stockholders are being asked to approve only the material terms for "qualified performance-based compensation" under the 2016 Plan for purposes of the approval requirements under Section 162(m). This approval is intended to preserve our ability to design awards under the 2016 Plan so that they may be able to satisfy the requirements for "qualified performance-based compensation" and may permit us to benefit from certain tax deductions under Section 162(m).

Section 162(m) disallows a deduction for certain compensation paid to our Chief Executive Officer and to each of our other three most highly compensated executive officers, other than our Chief Financial Officer, in a taxable year to the extent that compensation to such covered employee exceeds $1 million for such year. However, some types of compensation are not subject to the deduction limit, including compensation paid under a stockholder-approved plan (that is, approved by stockholders of the publicly traded company) that meets certain requirements for "qualified performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m). While we believe it is in our and our stockholders' best interests to have the ability to potentially grant "qualified performance-based compensation" under the 2016 Plan, we may decide to grant compensation to covered employees that will not qualify as "qualified performance-based compensation" for purposes of Section 162(m). Moreover, even if we intend to grant compensation that qualifies as "qualified performance-based compensation" for purposes of Section 162(m) under the 2016 Plan, we cannot guarantee that such compensation will so qualify or will ultimately be deductible by us.

Generally, compensation attributable to performance-based awards may be deemed to qualify as "qualified performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m) if: (1) the grant is made by a committee of outside directors for purposes of Section 162(m); (2) the plan under which the award is granted states the maximum number of shares of common stock ("Common Shares") of which share-based awards may be comprised and the maximum amount of cash awards that may be granted to any individual during a specified period of time; and (3) the amount of compensation an individual may receive under the award is based solely on the achievement of one or more pre-established performance goals which incorporate business criteria approved by stockholders. Stockholder approval of this Item 4 is intended to satisfy the stockholder approval requirements of Section 162(m).

ZEQ.=1,SEQ=20,EFW="2232894",CP="LAMB WESTON HOLDINGS, INC.",DN="1",CHK=660242,FOLIO='15',FILE='DISK124:[17ZBT1.17ZBT48601]DE48601A.;27',USER='CHE105540',CD=';9-AUG-2017;02:15'

Table of Contents

We are seeking stockholder approval of the material terms for "qualified performance-based compensation" under the 2016 Plan, which includes (i) the performance measures, (ii) the grant limits under the 2016 Plan and (iii) the individuals eligible to receive awards under the 2016 Plan, to have the flexibility to potentially grant awards under the 2016 Plan that may be fully deductible for federal income tax purposes. If our stockholders approve the material terms for "qualified performance-based compensation" under the 2016 Plan, assuming that all other requirements under Section 162(m) are met, we may be able to obtain tax deductions with respect to awards issued under the 2016 Plan to our covered employees without regard to the limitations of Section 162(m) through the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (in other words, for about five years). If our stockholders do not approve this proposal, we will generally be limited in our ability to make certain performance-based awards and therefore, may not be able to benefit from certain tax deductions under Section 162(m).

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Section 162(m) Performance Measures

As discussed above, our sole reason for submitting this Item 4 to stockholders is to obtain stockholder approval of the material terms for "qualified performance-based compensation" under the 2016 Plan for purposes of Section 162(m). Such stockholder approval is expected to enable us to structure certain awards so that they may be able to qualify as "qualified performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m).

In particular, the 2016 Plan includes a list of performance measures upon which the Committee must condition a grant or vesting of "qualified performance-based compensation" pursuant to the 2016 Plan. These performance measures are as follows (including relative or growth achievement regarding such measures): cash flow; free cash flow; operating cash flow; earnings; market share; economic value added; achievement of annual operating budget; profits; profit contribution margins; profits before taxes; profits after taxes; operating profit; return on assets; return on investment; return on equity; return on invested capital; gross sales; net sales; sales volume; stock price; total stockholder return; dividend ratio; price-to-earnings ratio; expense targets; operating efficiency; customer satisfaction metrics; working capital targets; the achievement of certain target levels of innovation and/or development of products; measures related to acquisitions or divestitures or the formation or dissolution of joint ventures; corporate bond rating by credit agencies; debt to equity or leverage ratios; or financial performance measures determined by the Committee that are sufficiently similar to the foregoing as to be permissible under Section 162(m).

In addition, those performance measures may be adjusted, if so stated when established (or to the extent permitted under Section 162(m) at any time thereafter), to include or exclude any items otherwise includable or excludable under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") permitted under Section 162(m), including, but not limited to, the effects of: restructurings and discontinued operations; extraordinary items, and other unusual, infrequently occurring charges or events; asset write-downs; significant litigation or claim judgments or settlements; acquisitions or divestitures; charges and costs associated with restructurings; any reorganization or change in the corporate structure or capital structure; foreign exchange gains and losses; a change in the fiscal year; the cumulative effects of tax or accounting changes in accordance with GAAP; business interruption events; unbudgeted capital expenditures; unrealized investment gains and losses; and impairments. If the Committee determines that a change in the business, operations, corporate structure or capital structure, or the manner in which we conduct our business, or other events or circumstances render a performance goal unsuitable, the Committee may in its discretion modify such performance goals or the acceptable levels of achievement, in whole or in part, as the Committee deems appropriate and equitable, except in the case of a Qualified Performance-Based Award (as defined below, and other than in connection with a participant's death or disability or a change of control) to the extent such action would result in the loss of the otherwise available exemption of the award under Section 162(m).

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Limitations on Awards

The 2016 Plan includes the following share or award limits, subject to adjustment as described in the 2016 Plan:

A "Qualified Performance-Based Award" is any cash incentive award or award of performance shares, performance units, restricted shares, restricted stock units, or other stock-based awards, granted to certain "covered employees" (as defined in Section 162(m)) that is intended to satisfy the requirements for "qualified performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m)).

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Eligibility

The 2016 Plan authorizes the Committee to make awards to our and our subsidiaries' employees, and to our non-employee directors and certain qualifying consultants. Award recipients will be chosen by the Committee, in its discretion, from among individuals, who through the receipt of incentive awards, may be attracted, retained and motivated to contribute to our long-term and other financial success. As of July 31, 2017, there were approximately 250 employees and 7 non-employee directors of Lamb Weston eligible to participate in the 2016 Plan. The number of options and other awards, if any, that an individual will be entitled to receive under the 2016 Plan will be at the discretion of the Committee and therefore cannot be determined in advance.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Summary of Other Material Terms of the 2016 Plan

The actual text of the 2016 Plan is attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix A . The following description of the 2016 Plan is only a summary of its principal terms and provisions and is qualified by reference to the actual text as set forth in Appendix A .

Administration and Delegation. The 2016 Plan is generally administered by the Committee. The Committee may also delegate to any individual officer the authority to designate recipients of awards and the number and type of awards granted, although the officer cannot use this authority to grant awards to executive Section 16 officers, directors or more than 10% beneficial owners, or to himself or herself. This delegation authority does not permit the grant of an award, other than by two or more "outside directors"

under Section 162(m), to any officer or other employee who is, or is reasonably determined by the Committee to be likely to become, covered by Section 162(m) as a "covered employee."

Authorized Shares. The maximum number of Common Shares that may be issued under the 2016 Plan is 10,000,000, plus Common Shares subject to awards that are cancelled, terminated, lapse, expire, are forfeited, otherwise become unexercisable or are settled for cash (in whole or in part) under the 2016 Plan. The closing price of our Common Shares as of July 31, 2017, the record date for this Proxy Statement, was $43.98.

Share Counting: The aggregate number of Common Shares available under the 2016 Plan will be reduced by one Common Share for every one Common Share subject to an award granted under the 2016 Plan.

If any award granted under the 2016 Plan is cancelled, terminated, forfeited, expires or is settled for cash (in whole or in part), the Common Shares subject to the award will, to the extent of such cancellation, termination, forfeiture, expiration or cash settlement, again be available under the 2016 Plan.

The 2016 Plan further provides that the following Common Shares will not be added (or added back, as applicable) to the aggregate number of Common Shares available under the 2016 Plan: (1) Common Shares used to pay the exercise price of an outstanding award; (2) Common Shares used to pay withholding taxes related to an outstanding option or SAR; (3) Common Shares subject to a SAR granted under the 2016 Plan that are not actually issued in connection with its Common Share settlement on exercise; and (4) Common Shares reacquired by Lamb Weston on the open market or otherwise using cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options granted under the 2016 Plan. However, Common Shares tendered, withheld or otherwise used to satisfy a tax withholding obligation from an award other than a stock option or SAR will be added (or added back) to the aggregate share limit (subject to certain limitations described in the 2016 Plan).

Common Shares issued or transferred pursuant to awards granted under the 2016 Plan in substitution for or in conversion of, or in connection with the assumption of, awards held by awardees of an entity engaging in a corporate acquisition or merger with us or any of our subsidiaries will not count against the share limits under the 2016 Plan. Additionally, shares available under certain plans that we or our subsidiaries may assume in connection with corporate transactions from another entity may be available for certain awards under the 2016 Plan, but will not count against the share limits under the 2016 Plan.

Adjustments to Awards. The 2016 Plan requires that if there is a stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, combination, spinoff, distribution of assets to stockholders, exchange or other similar corporate transaction or event (as described in the 2016 Plan), appropriate adjustments must be made by the Committee in the number and type of shares available for future issuance under the 2016 Plan and plan share limits and related provisions, in the number, prices and dollar value (as applicable) for all awards outstanding before the event, subject to certain limitations described in the 2016 Plan. Also, if one of these events or a change of control occurs, the Committee must provide in substitution for outstanding awards such alternative consideration (including cash) as it determines in good faith is appropriate, and the Committee may require in connection therewith the surrender of all replaced awards. In addition, for each stock option or SAR with an exercise price greater than the consideration offered in connection with any such transaction or event described in this paragraph, the Committee may in its sole discretion elect to cancel such stock option or SAR without any payment to the person holding such award.

Except in connection with certain corporate transactions or events described in the paragraph above and other limited circumstances described in the 2016 Plan, in order to prohibit the repricing of "underwater" stock options and SARs, the exercise price of an outstanding stock option or SAR may not be reduced, and outstanding stock options and SARs may not be cancelled in exchange for cash, other awards or stock options or SARs with an exercise price that is less than the exercise price of the original stock options or SARs, without stockholder approval.

Dividend Equivalents. No dividends or dividend equivalents may be paid on stock options or SARs under the 2016 Plan. For restricted stock and other stock-based awards, the 2016 Plan allows the Committee to

provide, at its discretion and at the time of grant, for dividends or dividend equivalents to be accumulated and paid to the participant upon the expiration of the vesting restrictions (and after satisfaction of any performance conditions) applicable to such awards.

Types of Awards Under the 2016 Plan: Pursuant to the 2016 Plan, we may grant stock options (including "incentive stock options" as defined in Section 422 of the Code ("ISOs")), SARs, restricted shares, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units, cash incentive awards, and certain other awards based on or related to the Common Shares.

Generally, each grant of an award under the 2016 Plan will be evidenced by an award agreement or agreements which will contain such terms and provisions as the Committee may determine, consistent with the 2016 Plan. A brief description of the types of awards which may be granted under the 2016 Plan is set forth below.

Stock Options. The Committee may grant nonqualified options and options qualifying as ISOs. Except with respect to adjustments (including adjustments in connection with our spinoff from Conagra) or converted, assumed or substituted awards as described in the 2016 Plan, the option price of nonqualified stock options and ISOs will be not less than the fair market value of the Common Shares on the date of grant. Options qualifying as ISOs will be required to meet certain requirements of the Code and only participants who are employees will be eligible to receive ISOs.

The 2016 Plan allows the Committee to determine the method or methods of payment to be allowed for the exercise of stock options, and to provide for automatic stock option exercises. These methods may include payment in cash, withholding shares otherwise issuable on exercise of the option or by delivering other Common Shares.

Stock options may not be granted under the 2016 Plan in consideration for a participant's delivery of Common Shares as payment of the exercise price of or taxes due on any other stock option. No reload options are permitted.

The 2016 Plan requires that the Committee fix the term of each option, but the term may not exceed ten years from the date of grant. The Committee will determine the time or times when each option is exercisable. Options can be made exercisable in installments, and the exercisability of options may be accelerated by the Committee, including in the event of death, retirement, disability, termination of employment or change of control.

Stock Appreciation Rights. The 2016 Plan authorizes the Committee to grant SARs, which may be granted in conjunction with an option or separately from any option. Each SAR granted in tandem with an option can be exercised only to the extent that the corresponding option is exercised, and the SAR will terminate upon termination or exercise of the corresponding option. Upon the exercise of a SAR granted in tandem with an option, the corresponding option will terminate. SARs granted separately from options can be granted on the terms and conditions established by the Committee. Except with respect to adjustments (including adjustments in connection with our spinoff) or converted, assumed or substituted awards as described in the 2016 Plan, the exercise price of SARs will be not less than the fair market value of the Common Shares on the date of grant.

SARs may be made exercisable in installments, and the exercisability of SARs may be accelerated by the Committee, including in the event of death, retirement, disability, or change of control. However, the 2016 Plan does not permit the term of a SAR to exceed ten years from the date of grant. The 2016 Plan allows the Committee to determine the method or methods of payment to be allowed for the exercise of a SAR, and to provide for automatic SAR exercises. No reload SARs are permitted.

Restricted Stock. The 2016 Plan authorizes the Committee to grant awards of restricted stock, with such restrictions on vesting as the Committee may determine. Restrictions can relate to, among other things, continued employment with us, individual performance or to our financial performance.

ZEQ.=5,SEQ=24,EFW="2232894",CP="LAMB WESTON HOLDINGS, INC.",DN="1",CHK=916791,FOLIO='19',FILE='DISK124:[17ZBT1.17ZBT48601]DE48601A.;27',USER='CHE105540',CD=';9-AUG-2017;02:15'

Table of Contents

The Committee has the right to accelerate the vesting of restricted stock awards and to waive any restrictions to vesting, including in the event of death, retirement, disability, or change of control, subject to certain potential limitations described in the 2016 Plan.

Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") and Other Stock-Based Awards. The 2016 Plan authorizes the Committee to grant awards to participants that are denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or are otherwise based on the fair market value of the Common Shares (which we refer to as "other stock-based awards") on such terms as the Committee may determine. Such awards may include RSUs, which may be settled in Common Shares or otherwise, performance share awards which are the subject of one or more performance goals or stock awards. For awards that are intended to be Qualified Performance-Based Awards, performance goals must be selected from the criteria described above. Subject to certain potential limitations described in the 2016 Plan, the Committee has the right to accelerate the vesting of other stock-based awards, including in the event of death, retirement, disability, or change of control.

Cash Incentive Awards. The 2016 Plan authorizes the Committee to grant cash awards subject to performance goals that, if achieved, will result in payment or partial payment of the award. For awards that are intended to satisfy the requirements for Qualified Performance-Based Awards, performance goals must be selected from the criteria described above.

Director Awards. The Board will approve awards, or formulae for awards, to non-employee directors, subject to the individual director limit described above.

Tax Withholding. The Committee may permit a participant to satisfy all withholding tax requirements through the delivery of previously-acquired Common Shares or by having shares otherwise issuable under the 2016 Plan withheld by us. Alternatively, participants must satisfy any tax withholding requirements by remitting cash or a check.

Clawback. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, awards granted under the 2016 Plan will generally be subject to the terms and conditions of any applicable recoupment or clawback policy of Lamb Weston as may be in effect from time to time, including the clawback policy adopted by the Committee in May 2017, which generally requires the forfeiture or recoupment of awards for our executive officers under our incentive plans in the event of detrimental conduct by the executive officer or a material restatement of our financial statements resulting from the fraudulent or dishonest actions of the executive officer.

Other Information. Except as permitted by the Committee, awards under the 2016 Plan are not transferable except by will or under the laws of descent and distribution. However, in no event will any award granted under the 2016 Plan be transferred for value. Awards may also be granted subject to certain detrimental activity and recapture provisions as specified in the 2016 Plan or by the Committee.

The Board may terminate the 2016 Plan at any time (subject to certain limitations described in the 2016 Plan), but such termination will not affect any award then outstanding without written participant consent. Unless earlier terminated by action of the Board, awards may be granted under the 2016 Plan until November 9, 2026, but awards granted prior to that date will continue in effect until they expire in accordance with their original terms.

The Board may amend the 2016 Plan as it deems advisable, subject to certain limitations described in the 2016 Plan. Amendments that (1) materially modify the requirements for participation in the 2016 Plan, (2) increase the number of Common Shares subject to issuance under the 2016 Plan, (3) change the minimum exercise price for stock options as provided in the 2016 Plan, or (4) extend the term of the 2016 Plan, must be submitted to stockholders for approval. Further, to the extent not inconsistent with the terms of the 2016 Plan, the Committee may amend the terms of an outstanding award from time to time in a manner that is not unfavorable to the participant without the consent of such participant.

As described in the 2016 Plan, under certain circumstances, the exercise period for stock options and SARs may be extended (but not past the expiration date for such award) until the next "window period" occurs

The following is a brief summary of certain of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of certain transactions under the 2016 Plan based on U.S. federal income tax laws in effect. This summary, which is presented for the information of stockholders considering how to vote on this proposal and not for 2016 Plan participants, is not intended to be complete and does not describe federal taxes other than income taxes (such as medicare, social security and net investment income taxes), or state, local or foreign tax consequences.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Tax Consequences to Participants

Nonqualified Stock Options. In general:

Incentive Stock Options. No income generally will be recognized by an optionee upon the grant or exercise of an ISO. The exercise of an ISO, however, may result in alternative minimum tax liability. If Common Shares are issued to the optionee pursuant to the exercise of an ISO, and if no disqualifying disposition of such shares is made by such optionee within two years after the date of grant or within one year after the transfer of such shares to the optionee, then upon sale of such shares, any amount realized in excess of the option price will be taxed to the optionee as a long-term capital gain and any loss sustained will be a long-term capital loss.

If Common Shares acquired upon the exercise of an ISO are disposed of prior to the expiration of either holding period described above, the optionee generally will recognize ordinary income in the year of disposition in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the fair market value of such shares at the time of exercise (or, if less, the amount realized on the disposition of such shares if a sale or exchange) over the exercise price paid for such shares. Any further gain (or loss) realized by the participant generally will be taxed as short-term or long-term capital gain (or loss) depending on the holding period.

Appreciation Rights. No income will be recognized by a participant in connection with the grant of an appreciation right. When the appreciation right is exercised, the participant normally will be required to include as taxable ordinary income in the year of exercise an amount equal to the amount of cash received and the fair market value of any unrestricted Common Shares received on the exercise.

Restricted Stock. The recipient of restricted stock generally will be subject to tax at ordinary income rates on the fair market value of the restricted stock (reduced by any amount paid by the recipient for such restricted shares) at such time as the shares are no longer subject to forfeiture or restrictions on transfer for purposes of Section 83 of the Code ("Restrictions"). However, a recipient who so elects under Section 83(b) of the Code within 30 days of the date of transfer of the shares will have taxable ordinary income on the date of transfer of the shares equal to the excess of the fair market value of such shares (determined without regard to the Restrictions) over the purchase price, if any, of such restricted stock. If a Section 83(b)

Table of Contents

election has not been made, any dividends received with respect to restricted stock that are subject to the Restrictions generally will be treated as compensation that is taxable as ordinary income to the recipient.

RSUs. No income generally will be recognized upon the award of RSUs. The recipient of a RSU award generally will be subject to tax at ordinary income rates on the fair market value of unrestricted Common Shares on the date that such shares are transferred to the participant under the award (reduced by any amount paid by the participant for such RSUs), and the capital gains/loss holding period for such shares will also commence on such date.

Performance Shares and Performance Units. No income generally will be recognized upon the grant of performance shares or performance units. Upon payment in respect of the earn-out of performance shares or performance units, the recipient generally will be required to include as taxable ordinary income in the year of receipt an amount equal to the amount of cash received and the fair market value of any nonrestricted Common Shares received.

Cash Incentive Awards. No income generally will be recognized upon the award of a cash incentive award. The recipient of a cash incentive award generally will be subject to tax at ordinary income rates on the value of any earned award at the time the award is earned.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Tax Consequences to the Company or its Subsidiaries

To the extent that a participant recognizes ordinary income in the circumstances described above, we or the subsidiary for which the participant performs services will be entitled to a corresponding deduction provided that, among other things, the income meets the test of reasonableness, is an ordinary and necessary business expense, is not an "excess parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and is not disallowed by the $1 million limitation under Section 162(m). In this regard, certain types of awards under the 2016 Plan, such as time-vested restricted shares and RSUs, cannot qualify as performance-based awards under Section 162(m), and in other cases awards may fail to qualify if all requirements for qualification are not met in connection with such awards.

ITEM 5. RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Audit Committee is directly responsible for the selection, appointment, compensation, retention, oversight and termination of our independent auditors. The Audit Committee selected KPMG LLP, a registered public accounting firm, as our independent auditors for fiscal 2018. The Audit Committee and the Board are requesting, as a matter of policy, that stockholders ratify the selection of KPMG LLP as our independent auditors.

The Audit Committee and the Board are not required to take any action as a result of the outcome of the vote on this proposal. However, if our stockholders do not ratify the selection, the Audit Committee may investigate the reasons for our stockholders' rejection and may consider whether to retain KPMG LLP or appoint another independent auditor. Furthermore, even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee may appoint a different independent auditor if, in its discretion, it determines that such a change would be in Lamb Weston's and our stockholders' best interests.

KPMG LLP has served as our independent auditors since fiscal 2017 and were appointed in connection with the Separation. We expect that representatives of KPMG LLP will be present at the Annual Meeting. They will have an opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders. Additional information about our independent auditors, including our pre-approval policies and KPMG LLP's aggregate fees for fiscal 2017, can be found below under "Board Committees and MembershipAudit Committee."

The Board recommends a vote "FOR" the ratification of the selection of KPMG LLP as Lamb Weston's independent auditors for fiscal 2018.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

We believe that having and adhering to a strong corporate governance framework is essential to our long-term success. This section describes our corporate governance framework, including our key governance principles and practices, Board leadership structure and oversight functions.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Corporate Governance Principles

The Principles articulate our governance philosophy, practices and policies in a range of areas, including: the Board's role and responsibilities; composition and structure of the Board; establishment and responsibilities of the committees of the Board; executive and director performance evaluations; and succession planning. The Governance Committee reviews the Principles annually and recommends any changes to the Board for its consideration.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Key Corporate Governance Practices

The Board is committed to performing its responsibilities in a manner consistent with sound governance practices. It routinely reviews its processes, assesses the regulatory and legislative environment and adopts governance practices as needed that support informed, competent and independent oversight on behalf of our stockholders. Our Principles provide a summary of these practices and are available on our website as described below under "Corporate Governance Materials." Highlights of our corporate governance practices include:

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Board Leadership Structure

Our current Board leadership structure consists of:

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Separate Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

The Principles provide the Board flexibility in determining its leadership structure. Currently, Timothy McLevish serves as Executive Chairman of our Board and Thomas Werner serves as our Chief Executive Officer. The Board believes that this leadership structure, which separates the Chairman and Chief Executive

ZEQ.=3,SEQ=32,EFW="2232894",CP="LAMB WESTON HOLDINGS, INC.",DN="1",CHK=304388,FOLIO='27',FILE='DISK124:[17ZBT1.17ZBT48601]DG48601A.;19',USER='CHE105614',CD=';8-AUG-2017;04:54'

Officer roles, is optimal at this time. With separate Chairman and Chief Executive Officer roles, our Chairman can lead the Board in the performance of its duties by establishing agendas and ensuring appropriate meeting content, engaging with the Chief Executive Officer and senior leadership team between Board meetings on business developments and providing overall guidance to our Chief Executive Officer as to the Board's views and perspectives, particularly on the strategic direction of the Company. Meanwhile, our Chief Executive Officer can focus his time and energy on setting the strategic direction for the Company, overseeing daily operations, engaging with external constituents, developing our leaders and promoting employee engagement at all levels of the organization. In addition, because the Chairman role is currently an executive role, an independent director serves as Lead Director. As described below, we believe that our governance practices ensure that skilled and experienced independent directors provide independent leadership.

The Board periodically evaluates its leadership structure and determines the most appropriate leadership structure at that time. In considering which leadership structure will allow it to most effectively carry out its responsibilities and best represent stockholders' interests, the Board takes into account various factors. Among them are our specific business needs, our operating and financial performance, industry conditions, economic and regulatory environments, the results of Board and committee annual self-assessments, the advantages and disadvantages of alternative leadership structures based on circumstances at that time and our corporate governance practices.

On July 20, 2017, Mr. McLevish notified the Company of his decision not to stand for re-election to the Board at the Annual Meeting. Mr. McLevish will remain in his current role until the Annual Meeting. In connection with Mr. McLevish's decision not to stand for re-election, after considering the factors described above, the Board decided that it would appoint our current Lead Director, W.G. Jurgensen, to the role of non-executive Chairman.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Independent Director Leadership and Oversight

The Board believes that independent Board leadership and oversight are very important. Therefore, it established the role of independent Lead Director for times when the Chairman of the Board is not an independent director. The independent directors annually select the Lead Director for a one-year term. The Board created the Lead Director position to provide independent leadership of the Board's affairs on behalf of stockholders, increase the Board's effectiveness, promote open communication amongst the independent directors and serve as the principal liaison between the Chairman and the other independent directors.

Under the Principles, the Lead Director has the following duties and responsibilities:

ZEQ.=4,SEQ=33,EFW="2232894",CP="LAMB WESTON HOLDINGS, INC.",DN="1",CHK=303621,FOLIO='28',FILE='DISK124:[17ZBT1.17ZBT48601]DG48601A.;19',USER='CHE105614',CD=';8-AUG-2017;04:54'

Table of Contents

The Board appointed Mr. Jurgensen as our Lead Director in November 2016. The Board believes that he is an effective Lead Director due to his independence, leadership, global operating experience and corporate governance experience. As discussed above, following the Annual Meeting, the Board will appoint Mr. Jurgensen as our non-executive Chairman. Because the role of Chairman will be held by an independent director, we do not expect that the Board will appoint a Lead Director following the Annual Meeting.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Director Independence

The Board has determined that 7 of our 9 current directors Mses. Moddelmog and Sharpe and Messrs. Blixt, Hawaux, Jurgensen, Maurer and Schindler have no material relationships with Lamb Weston and are independent within the meaning of applicable independence standards. Messrs. McLevish and Werner are not independent since they are Lamb Weston employees.

The Principles require that a majority of the directors meet the NYSE independence standards. For a director to be considered independent, the Board must affirmatively determine, after reviewing all relevant information, that a director has no material relationship with Lamb Weston. In making its independence determinations, the Board has established categorical independence standards, including whether a director or a member of the director's immediate family has any current or past employment or affiliation with Lamb Weston or the independent auditors. These standards are generally consistent with the NYSE's independence standards and are included in the Principles.

In addition to satisfying our independence standards, each member of the Audit Committee of the Board must satisfy an additional SEC independence requirement that provides that the member may not accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee from us or any of our subsidiaries other than his or her director's compensation and may not be an "affiliated person" of Lamb Weston. Each member of the Audit Committee satisfies this additional independence requirement.

Similarly, the SEC and NYSE have adopted rules relating to the independence of members of the Compensation Committee of the Board. These rules require consideration of the source of the Compensation Committee member's compensation, including any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fees paid to the Compensation Committee member, and the Compensation Committee member's affiliation with us, any of our subsidiaries or any affiliates of our subsidiaries. Each member of the Compensation Committee satisfies these additional independence requirements.

Our senior leadership is responsible for identifying, assessing and managing our exposure to risk. A component of this work is performed through a management-led Risk Oversight Committee, chaired by our Chief Financial Officer. The Board and its committees play an active role in overseeing management's activities and ensuring that management's plans are balanced from a risk/reward perspective. The Board and its committees perform this oversight through the following mechanisms:

Because issues related to risk oversight often overlap, certain issues may be addressed at both the committee and full Board level.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Meeting Attendance

We expect directors to attend all Board meetings, the Annual Meeting and all meetings of the committees on which they serve. We understand, however, that occasionally a director may be unable to attend a meeting. Since the Separation in November 2016, the Board held four meetings and the committees of the Board held a total of 11 meetings in fiscal 2017. Each director attended 75% or more of the aggregate of all meetings of the Board and the committees on which he or she served during fiscal 2017. As we were not a public company until after the Separation, we did not hold an annual meeting of stockholders in fiscal 2017.

We have a written Code of Conduct that applies to members of our Board and employees. The Code of Conduct is designed to reinforce our commitment to high ethical standards and to promote:

The Code of Conduct reflects our values and contains important rules our directors and employees must follow when conducting business. The Code of Conduct is part of our global compliance and integrity program that provides support and training throughout our Company and encourages reporting of wrongdoing by offering anonymous reporting options and a non-retaliation policy.

Additionally, we have a written Code of Ethics for Senior Corporate Financial Officers (the "Code of Ethics") that applies to our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Controller, who are also subject to the

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our common stock to report to the SEC their ownership of our common stock and changes in that ownership. As a practical matter, our Corporate Secretary's office assists our directors and executive officers by monitoring their transactions and completing and filing Section 16(a) reports on their behalf.

We reviewed copies of reports filed pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act and written representations from reporting persons that all reportable transactions were reported. Based solely on that review, we believe that during fiscal 2017, all required filings were timely made in accordance with Exchange Act requirements.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Review of Transactions with Related Parties

The Board has adopted a written policy regarding the review, approval or ratification of "related party transactions." A related party transaction is one in which Lamb Weston is a participant, the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and any "related party" has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. In general, "related parties" include our directors, executive officers and 5% stockholders and their immediate family members. Under this policy, all related party transactions must be pre-approved by the Audit Committee

unless circumstances make pre-approval impracticable. In the latter case, management may enter into the related party transaction, but the transaction remains subject to ratification by the Audit Committee at its next regular in-person meeting. In determining whether to approve or ratify a related party transaction, the Audit Committee will take into account, among other factors it deems appropriate, whether the transaction is fair and reasonable to Lamb Weston and the extent of the related party's interest in the transaction. No director may participate in any approval of a related party transaction in which he or she is involved. The Audit Committee, on at least an annual basis, reviews and assesses any ongoing related party transactions to determine whether the relationships remain appropriate. The Audit Committee also reports its actions with respect to any related party transaction to the full Board.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Agreements with Conagra

Prior to our spinoff from Conagra, on November 8, 2016, we entered into a separation and distribution agreement and several other agreements with Conagra in order to effect the spinoff and to govern our ongoing relationships after the spinoff, including agreements with respect to, among other things, employee matters, intellectual property rights, trademark licenses and tax matters, and under which we and Conagra have agreed to indemnify each other against certain liabilities arising from our respective businesses. In addition, to facilitate an orderly transition, we also entered into transition service agreements with Conagra providing for various services and rights following the spinoff.

The following summarizes the terms of the material agreements we have entered into with Conagra in connection with the spinoff. These agreements have been included as exhibits to our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on November 10, 2016. The following summaries of these agreements are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the agreements as so filed.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Separation and Distribution Agreement

The separation and distribution agreement contains the key provisions relating to the spinoff, including provisions relating to the principal intercompany transactions required to effect the spinoff, the conditions to the spinoff and provisions governing our relationships with Conagra after the spinoff.

Transfer of Assets and Assumption of Liabilities. The separation and distribution agreement provided for those transfers of assets and assumptions of liabilities that were necessary in advance of our separation from Conagra so that each of Lamb Weston and Conagra retained the assets necessary to operate its respective business and retained or assumed the liabilities allocated to it in accordance with the reorganization.

Representations and Warranties. In general, neither Conagra nor we made any representations or warranties regarding any assets or liabilities transferred or assumed, any consents or approvals that were required in connection with these transfers or assumptions, the value or freedom from any lien or other security interest of any assets transferred, the absence of any defenses relating to any claim of either party or the legal sufficiency of any conveyance documents. Except as expressly set forth in the separation and distribution agreement, all assets were transferred on an "as is," "where is" basis.

The Distribution. The separation and distribution agreement governed Conagra's and our respective rights and obligations regarding the distribution of Lamb Weston shares to Conagra's stockholders that occurred on November 9, 2016 (the "distribution date"). Prior to the distribution, Conagra delivered all of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock to the distribution agent. On the distribution date, Conagra instructed the distribution agent to electronically deliver shares of our common stock to Conagra's stockholders based on the distribution ratio. The Conagra board of directors had the sole and absolute discretion to determine the terms of, and whether to proceed with, the distribution.

Conditions. The separation and distribution agreement also provided that several conditions must be satisfied or waived by Conagra, at the direction of its board of directors in its sole and absolute discretion,

ZEQ.=8,SEQ=37,EFW="2232894",CP="LAMB WESTON HOLDINGS, INC.",DN="1",CHK=244745,FOLIO='32',FILE='DISK124:[17ZBT1.17ZBT48601]DG48601A.;19',USER='CHE105614',CD=';8-AUG-2017;04:54'

before the distribution could occur. The Conagra board of directors, in its sole and absolute discretion, determined the record date, the distribution date and the terms of the spinoff.

Release of Claims. Conagra and we each agreed to release the other and its affiliates, successors and assigns, and all persons that prior to the distribution had been the other's stockholders, directors, officers, members, agents and employees, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, from any claims against any of them that arise out of or relate to events, circumstances or actions occurring or failing to occur or any conditions existing at or prior to the time of the distribution. These releases were subject to exceptions set forth in the separation and distribution agreement.

Indemnification. Conagra and we each agreed to indemnify the other and each of the other's past and present directors, officers and employees, and each of their successors and assigns, against certain liabilities incurred in connection with the spinoff and our and Conagra's respective businesses. Neither Conagra's nor our indemnification obligations are subject to any cap. The amount of either Conagra's or our indemnification obligations will be reduced by any insurance proceeds the party being indemnified receives. The separation and distribution agreement also specifies procedures regarding claims subject to indemnification.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Tax Matters Agreement

We entered into a tax matters agreement with Conagra that governs our and Conagra's respective rights, responsibilities and obligations with respect to taxes, including taxes arising in the ordinary course of business, and taxes, if any, incurred as a result of any failure of the spinoff (or certain related transactions) to qualify as tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The tax matters agreement also sets forth our and Conagra's respective obligations with respect to the filing of tax returns, the administration of tax contests and assistance and cooperation on tax matters.

In general, the tax matters agreement governs the rights and obligations that we and Conagra have after the spinoff with respect to taxes for both pre- and post-closing periods. Under the tax matters agreement, Conagra generally is responsible for all of our pre-closing income taxes that are reported on combined tax returns with Conagra or any of its affiliates. We are generally responsible for all other income taxes and all non-income taxes primarily related to Lamb Weston that are due and payable after the spinoff.

The tax matters agreement further provides that:

In addition to the indemnification obligations described above, the indemnifying party will generally be required to indemnify the indemnified party against any interest, penalties, additions to tax, losses, assessments, settlements or judgments arising out of or incident to the event giving rise to the indemnification obligation, along with costs incurred in any related contest or proceeding. Indemnification obligations of the parties under the tax matters agreement are not subject to any cap.

Table of Contents

Further, the tax matters agreement generally prohibits us and our affiliates from taking certain actions that could cause the spinoff and certain related transactions to fail to qualify for their intended tax treatment, including:

In the event that the spinoff and certain related transactions fail to qualify for their intended tax treatment, in whole or in part, and Conagra is subject to tax as a result of such failure, the tax matters agreement will determine whether Conagra must be indemnified for any such tax by us. As a general matter, under the terms of the tax matters agreement, we are required to indemnify Conagra for any tax-related losses in connection with the spinoff due to any action by us or any of our subsidiaries following the spinoff. Therefore, in the event that the spinoff and/or related transactions fail to qualify for their intended tax treatment due to any action by us or any of our subsidiaries, we will generally be required to indemnify Conagra for the resulting taxes.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Employee Matters Agreement

We entered into an employee matters agreement with Conagra that governs our and Conagra's respective rights, responsibilities and obligations after the spinoff with respect to transferred employees, collective bargaining agreements, incentive plans, group health and welfare plans, defined benefit pension plans, defined contribution plans, nonqualified retirement plans, equity-based awards and other employment, compensation and benefit-related matters.

Liabilities. In general, Conagra is responsible for all employment, compensation and employee benefit liabilities relating to employees of Conagra and former employees of Conagra and for all liabilities relating to Conagra's benefit plans, and we are responsible for all employment, compensation and employee benefit liabilities relating to employees of Lamb Weston and former employees of the Lamb Weston business and for all liabilities relating to Lamb Weston's benefit plans, subject to certain exceptions further described in the employee matters agreement.

Employee Benefits. In general, other than in the case of certain exceptions further described in the employee matters agreement, and as otherwise provided in the transition services agreement, we established our own group health and welfare plans and retirement plans following the spinoff.

Table of Contents

Equity Compensation. In general, except as otherwise described in "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" with respect to Mr. Gehring's outstanding Conagra equity awards, each outstanding Conagra equity award held by a Lamb Weston employee or Lamb Weston director as of the spinoff was adjusted or converted into an award with respect to Lamb Weston common stock, and each other Conagra equity award was adjusted or converted but continued to relate to Conagra common stock. In each case, the award was adjusted or converted in a manner that was intended to preserve the aggregate intrinsic value of the original Conagra equity award and, other than regarding performance share awards, the terms of the equity awards, such as vesting dates, generally remained substantially the same.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Transition Services Agreement

We entered into a transition services agreement with Conagra under which Conagra provides and/or makes available various administrative services and assets to us. The services and assets provided to us by Conagra under the agreement primarily include:

In consideration for these services, we pay fees to Conagra for the services provided, and those fees are based on direct and indirect costs associated with rendering the services. The term of the transition services agreement is for a period of no more than 18 months beginning on the distribution date (inclusive of any extension period for any transition services). The personnel performing services under the transition services agreement are employees and/or independent contractors of Conagra or its subsidiaries. The transition services agreement also contains customary mutual indemnification provisions, which are not subject to a cap.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Trademark License Agreement

We entered into a trademark license agreement with Conagra, under which Conagra licenses certain trademarks to us in connection with the operations of our business including the Alexia trademark.

The trademark license agreement addresses the specific categories in which the trademark may be used.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Audit Committee

The Board established the Audit Committee in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) and Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. The Audit Committee consists entirely of independent directors, and each director meets the independence requirements set forth in the listing standards of NYSE, Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and the Audit Committee charter. The Board has determined that each Audit Committee member is "financially literate" within the meaning of NYSE rules and that Messrs. Hawaux, Jurgensen and Maurer are "audit committee financial experts" within the meaning of SEC regulations. No Audit Committee member received any payments in fiscal 2017 from us other than compensation for service as a director.

Under its charter, the Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing our accounting and financial reporting processes, audits of our financial statements and the appointment and retention of our independent auditors. The Audit Committee, among other duties:

The Audit Committee has established procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment, on a confidential basis, of any complaints we receive. Any person who has a complaint or concern about our accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters may communicate such complaints or concerns to the Audit Committee, which communications may be confidential or anonymous and may be submitted in writing to: Audit Committee, Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc., c/o Corporate Secretary, 599 S. Rivershore Lane, Eagle, Idaho 83616. All complaints and concerns will be reviewed by our head of internal audit, and by legal counsel and the Corporate Secretary as appropriate. The status of all outstanding complaints or concerns will be reported at each meeting of the Audit Committee.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Audit Committee Report for the Year Ended May 28, 2017

The Audit Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities by reviewing (1) the integrity of the financial statements of the Company, (2) the qualifications, independence and performance of the Company's independent auditor and internal audit department and (3) compliance by the Company with legal and regulatory requirements. The Audit Committee acts under a written charter, adopted by the Board, a copy of which is available on our website.

Management has primary responsibility for Lamb Weston's financial statements and the reporting process, including the systems of internal control over financial reporting. The independent auditor is responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company's consolidated financial statements, issuing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles and assessing the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee oversees the Company's financial reporting process and internal controls on behalf of the Board.

The Audit Committee has sole authority to appoint, retain, compensate, oversee and terminate the independent auditor. The Audit Committee reviews the Company's annual audited financial statements, quarterly financial statements and other filings with the SEC. The Audit Committee reviews reports on various matters, including: (1) critical accounting policies of the Company; (2) material written communications between the independent auditor and management; (3) the independent auditor's internal quality-control procedures; (4) significant changes in the Company's selection or application of accounting principles; and (5) the effect of regulatory and accounting initiatives on the financial statements of the Company. The Audit Committee also has the authority to conduct investigations within the scope of its responsibilities and to retain legal, accounting and other advisors to assist the Audit Committee in its functions.

During the last fiscal year, the Audit Committee met and held discussions with representatives of Lamb Weston's management, its internal audit staff and KPMG LLP, Lamb Weston's independent auditor. Representatives of financial management, the internal audit staff and the independent auditor have unrestricted access to the Audit Committee and periodically meet privately with the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with Lamb Weston's management and KPMG LLP the audited financial statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 28, 2017.

The Audit Committee also discussed with the independent auditor the matters required to be discussed by the auditor with the Audit Committee under applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB") regarding the independent auditor's communications with the Audit Committee, as well as by SEC regulations. The Audit Committee also reviewed and discussed with KPMG LLP its independence and, as part of that review, received the written disclosures required by applicable professional and regulatory standards relating to KPMG LLP's independence from Lamb Weston, including those of the PCAOB. The Audit Committee also considered whether the provision of non-audit services provided by KPMG LLP to the Company during fiscal 2017 was compatible with the auditor's independence.

The Compensation Committee's responsibilities are more fully described in our Compensation Committee charter, and include, among other duties:

The Compensation Committee may delegate its responsibilities to subcommittees comprised of one or more committee members or to selected members of management, subject to requirements of our bylaws and applicable laws, regulations and the terms of our stock plan.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Compensation Consultant to the Committee

The Compensation Committee retains an independent compensation consultant to assist it in evaluating executive compensation programs and advise it regarding the amount and form of executive and director compensation. It uses a consultant to provide additional assurance that our executive and director compensation programs are reasonable, competitive and consistent with our objectives.

Since the Separation, the Compensation Committee has retained Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc. ("F.W. Cook") as its independent compensation consultant. During fiscal 2017, F.W. Cook provided the Compensation Committee advice and services, including:

For the year ended May 28, 2017, F.W. Cook provided no services to Lamb Weston other than consulting services to the Compensation Committee regarding executive and non-employee director compensation.

At least annually, the Compensation Committee reviews the current engagements and the objectivity and independence of the advice that F.W. Cook provides to it on executive and non-employee director compensation. The Compensation Committee considered the specific independence factors adopted by the SEC and NYSE and determined that F.W. Cook is independent and F.W. Cook's work did not raise any conflicts of interest.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Analysis of Risk in the Compensation Architecture

In 2017, the Compensation Committee evaluated whether our compensation designs, policies and practices operate to discourage our executive officers and other employees from taking unnecessary or excessive risks. As described under "Compensation Discussion and Analysis," we design our compensation to incent executives and other employees to achieve the Company's financial and strategic goals that promote long-term stockholder returns. Our compensation design does not encourage our executives and other employees from taking excessive risks for short-term benefits that may harm the Company and our stockholders in the long-term. The Compensation Committee uses various strategies to mitigate risk, including:

F.W. Cook also reviewed the Compensation Committee's risk analysis, including the underlying procedures, and confirmed the Compensation Committee's conclusion below.

In light of these analyses, the Compensation Committee believes that our compensation programs do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on Lamb Weston.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The Board has determined that all of the Governance Committee members are independent within the meaning of the NYSE listing standards. The Governance Committee's charter sets out its responsibilities. Among its responsibilities are:

The Governance Committee will consider any candidate a stockholder properly presents for election to the Board in accordance with the procedures set forth in our bylaws. The Governance Committee uses the same criteria to evaluate a candidate suggested by a stockholder as the Governance Committee uses to evaluate a candidate it identifies, which are described above under "Item 1. Election of DirectorsDirector Nomination and Qualification," and makes a recommendation to the Board regarding the candidate's appointment or nomination for election to the Board. After the Board's consideration of the candidate suggested by a stockholder, our Corporate Secretary will notify that stockholder whether the Board decided to appoint or nominate the candidate. For a description of how stockholders may nominate a candidate for the Governance Committee to consider for election to the Board at an annual meeting, see "2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders" in this Proxy Statement.

NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

We use a combination of cash and equity-based incentive compensation to attract and retain highly qualified non-employee directors who will best represent our stockholders' interests. With its independent compensation consultant's assistance, the Compensation Committee benchmarks director compensation against an industry peer group and general industry data and considers the appropriateness of the form and amount of director compensation and the time commitment and skill level required to serve on the Board. The Compensation Committee recommends the non-employee director compensation program to the full Board for approval.

In addition, our 2016 Stock Plan limits the maximum fair market value of stock awards to be granted to a non-employee director, taken together with any cash fees payable to him or her, at $600,000 in any fiscal

A Lamb Weston employee who also serves as a director does not receive any additional compensation for serving as a director. Currently, Timothy McLevish, our Executive Chairman, and Thomas Werner, our President and Chief Executive Officer, are the only directors who are employees. Compensation information for Messrs. McLevish and Werner is included under "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" and "Executive Compensation Tables" in this Proxy Statement.

(1) If the Board appoints a non-employee director during the year (i.e., other than at the annual meeting of stockholders), we pay that director prorated compensation for the balance of the year. We prorate cash compensation based on the actual number of days of service and the annual equity grant value based on the number of months remaining until the next annual equity grant. (2) Following the Annual Meeting, we expect the Board to appoint W.G. Jurgensen to the role of non-executive Chairman. The retainer will be in the form of RSUs or cash, at the election of the Chairman.

We pay our non-employee directors their cash retainers quarterly. Non-employee directors can defer all or a portion of their cash retainers into an interest bearing account, Lamb Weston common stock account or other investments that track investments that are permitted by Lamb Weston's Employee Benefits Investment Committee pursuant to the Lamb Weston Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan. This program does not provide above-market earnings (as defined by SEC rules).

Non-employee directors also receive an annual stock award in the form of RSUs. The number of RSUs granted to each director is determined by dividing the annual equity grant value ($130,000) by the closing stock price of our common stock on the NYSE on the date of grant, rounded down to the nearest share. The RSUs vest one year from the date of grant, subject to continued service during the entire term. Dividend equivalents are paid on the RSUs at the regular dividend rate in shares of our common stock. Non-employee directors may also defer receipt of their stock compensation under the Lamb Weston Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Director Stock Ownership Requirements

To further align our non-employee directors' and our stockholders' interests, the Board has adopted stock ownership requirements for the non-employee directors. All non-employee directors are expected to hold shares of Lamb Weston common stock in an amount equal to five times the annual Board retainer ($450,000). All directors must acquire this ownership level within five years after joining the Board. Directors may not sell Lamb Weston common stock until such time as the director has achieved the retention amount (except to satisfy tax withholding requirements). If a director holds the retention amount, the director may elect to sell any shares above that amount upon vesting. If a director departs from the Board, the director

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Introduction and Background

For purposes of this Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the following executives are referred to collectively as our "Named Executive Officers":

Prior to our spinoff from Conagra, Tom Werner and John Gehring participated in Conagra's executive compensation programs, and Tim McLevish, as a non-employee director of Conagra, participated in Conagra's director compensation programs. All executive and director compensation decisions for our Named Executive Officers prior to the spinoff were made by Conagra's Human Resources Committee or the full Conagra board of directors. As a result, such compensation may not be fully discussed below. Executive compensation decisions following the spinoff were made by our Compensation Committee and are discussed below. In addition, John Gehring's employment terminated on January 31, 2017 pursuant to the terms of his Interim Position and Non-Compete Agreement. Due to his limited term of employment with Lamb Weston, his fiscal 2017 compensation was not based on the same considerations as our other Named Executive Officers.

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis is organized into the following sections:

Committee and management also believe that the proportion of at-risk, performance-based compensation should rise as an employee's level of responsibility increases.

Our compensation program is designed to accomplish the following:

The Compensation Committee seeks to target total executive compensation opportunities at levels consistent with those of similarly sized companies in the consumer packaged goods industry. The Named Executive Officers' compensation is weighted towards programs contingent upon our annual and long-term performance.

The Compensation Committee engages Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc. ("F.W. Cook"), an independent compensation consultant, to assist in benchmarking compensation for the Named Executive Officers and senior management positions. The most recent compensation study focusing on our executive officers was conducted in April 2017. In addition, with the assistance of F.W. Cook, the Compensation Committee undertook a risk review of our compensation programs for all employees. Please see "Board Committees and MembershipCompensation CommitteeCompensation Consultant to the Committee" above for further detail about the Compensation Committee's engagement of F.W. Cook.

As a newly independent public company, we continue to develop our executive compensation program and are adopting several compensation and governance best practices, including those listed below.

What We Do —
		ü Beginning in fiscal 2018, consider a mix of financial goals to prevent over-emphasis on any single metric.
		ü Place a greater portion of pay at risk for more senior levels of the organization.
		ü Require stock ownership and share retention requirements for our executive officers and non-employee directors.
		ü Allow executive officers to engage in transactions in our securities only during approved trading windows and only after satisfying mandatory clearance
requirements.
		ü Require both a change of control and termination of employment for accelerated equity vesting to occur in connection with a change of control ( i.e. , double-trigger), with the exception of certain legacy Conagra awards.
		ü Maintain a clawback policy that requires the forfeiture or recoupment of awards for our executive officers under our incentive plans in the event of detrimental conduct by the
executive officer or a material restatement of our financial statements resulting from the fraudulent or dishonest actions of the executive officer.
		ü Use a range of strong processes and controls, including Compensation Committee and Board oversight, in our compensation practices.
		ü Use an independent compensation consultant who performs no other work for the Company.
		ü Pay incentive compensation only after our financial results are complete and the Compensation Committee has certified our performance results.

What We Don't Do

		× No director or
executive officer may pledge or hedge ownership of our stock.
		× No individual employment
agreements or severance agreements with our current executive officers.
		× No perquisites are
provided to our executive officers other than relocation benefits for new executive officers.
		× No backdating or
re-pricing of options may occur without stockholder approval.
		× No change of control
agreements have excise tax "gross-up" protection.
		× No compensation programs
that encourage unreasonable risk taking will be implemented.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Design and Approval of Our Fiscal 2017 Compensation Program

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Introduction

The Compensation Committee is charged with designing and approving our executive compensation program and setting compensation opportunities for Named Executive Officers. As discussed above, prior to our spinoff from Conagra, compensation decisions relating to our executive officers, including approving our

ZEQ.=4,SEQ=52,EFW="2232894",CP="LAMB WESTON HOLDINGS, INC.",DN="1",CHK=867842,FOLIO='47',FILE='DISK124:[17ZBT1.17ZBT48601]DK48601A.;40',USER='CHE105614',CD=';8-AUG-2017;04:54'

Table of Contents

peer group, equity plan and compensation programs, were made by Conagra's Human Resources Committee. Following the spinoff, our Compensation Committee reviewed these pre-spin compensation plans and programs and made adjustments or adopted policies designed to ensure that our programs were fully aligned with our post-spin business. In doing so, the Compensation Committee leveraged the advice and counsel of F.W. Cook in setting fiscal 2017 compensation, with the goal of designing a competitive executive compensation program for the executive officers who joined Lamb Weston in connection with, or shortly after, the spinoff. F.W. Cook assisted the Compensation Committee in monitoring emerging market practices in compensation design and philosophy and policy developments relevant to the Compensation Committee's work.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" External Pay Comparisons for Fiscal 2017

Although the Compensation Committee used internal and external pay comparison data as a market check on its compensation decisions, it recognized that over-reliance on external comparisons can be of concern, and it was mindful of the value and limitations of comparative data. The Compensation Committee reviewed the peer group composition approved by Conagra's Human Resources Committee and agreed it continued to be appropriate for Lamb Weston. The peer group was selected based on the following criteria:

The fiscal 2017 peer group included the following 16 companies:

COMMAND=ADD_TABLEWIDTH,"100%" User-specified TAGGED TABLE

B&G Foods Inc.	The Hain Celestial Group, Inc.	Post Holdings, Inc.
Cal-Main Foods, Inc.	Ingredion Incorporated	Snyder's-Lance, Inc.

Darling Ingredients Inc.	Lancaster Colony Corp.	Treehouse Foods, Inc.
Flowers Foods, Inc.	McCormick & Company, Inc.
Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc.	Pinnacle Foods Inc.

end of user-specified TAGGED TABLE

The Compensation Committee does not have a specific target range for our Named Executive Officers' salary, annual incentive opportunity, long-term incentive opportunity and total direct compensation level compared to the peer group. However, the Compensation Committee generally seeks to provide compensation to our executive officers that is competitive within the peer group.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Management's Role in the Design and Approval of Compensation Program

Prior to our spinoff from Conagra, Conagra's Chief Executive Officer played a role in the design and approval of the fiscal 2017 executive compensation program. Conagra's Chief Executive Officer provided input on the performance metric to be used for Lamb Weston as a business unit in the fiscal 2017 annual incentive program. Conagra's Chief Executive Officer also provided input on the design of the long-term equity incentive plans in which Tom Werner participated as an executive at Conagra.

After the spinoff, Tom Werner, our Chief Executive Officer, played a role in the design and approval of the fiscal 2017 executive compensation program. Tom provided the Compensation Committee with input on the design of equity grants at the time of the spinoff and compensation for executive officers hired after the spinoff.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Fiscal 2017 Opportunity Mix for Our Named Executive Officers

Incentive compensation is designed to represent a significant portion of our Named Executive Officers' target total direct compensation. For fiscal 2017, our Chief Executive Officer's target incentive compensation was intended to represent approximately 82% of his total target compensation opportunity. On average, 75% of target compensation was at risk for the other Named Executive Officers, with 93% of target compensation for our Executive Chairman provided in incentive pay. Our Compensation Committee believes that a continued emphasis on incentive compensation is appropriate, as such an opportunity mix aligns our Named Executive Officers' compensation with the interests of our stockholders. The values above are based on annualized target compensation for our Named Executive Officers as outlined under "Key Elements of Our Fiscal 2017 Executive Compensation ProgramAnnualized Target Compensation for all Named Executive Officers" below.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Key Elements of Our Fiscal 2017 Executive Compensation Program

The fiscal 2017 compensation of Named Executive Officers consisted of the following key components:

COMMAND=ADD_TABLEWIDTH,"100%" User-specified TAGGED TABLE

Type		Component
Incentive Compensation		Annual incentive opportunity (cash)
		Long-term incentive opportunity (equity)

Fixed Compensation		Salary, retirement benefits and health and welfare benefits

end of user-specified TAGGED TABLE

The Compensation Committee believes that using a mix of compensation types (salary, benefits, a cash incentive and equity-based incentives) and performance periods promotes behavior consistent with our long-term strategic plan. Because of the limited term of his employment with Lamb Weston after the spinoff, John Gehring generally continued to participate in Conagra's compensation programs until his termination from Lamb Weston in January 2017. Therefore, his compensation is not included in this summary of our fiscal 2017 compensation programs.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Base Salary

We paid a base salary to each of our Named Executive Officers to provide a base level of fixed income for services rendered. For fiscal 2017, prior to the spinoff, Conagra's Human Resources Committee determined the base salaries for each of Tom Werner, Eryk Spytek and Micheline Carter. In connection with the spinoff, the Lamb Weston Board approved Tom Werner's base salary as Chief Executive Officer and Tim McLevish's base salary as Executive Chairman. In connection with his hire in November 2016 to succeed John Gehring, the Compensation Committee approved Rob McNutt's base salary.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Annual Cash Incentive Compensation

We provide annual performance-based cash incentive opportunities to link our Named Executive Officers (other than Tim McLevish, who, based on the nature of his position as Executive Chairman, does not participate in our annual cash incentive programs) to specific goals established by the Board.

For fiscal 2017, prior to the spinoff, Conagra's Human Resources Committee approved our fiscal 2017 Management Incentive Plan (the "MIP") and established the performance goals under which amounts under the MIP could be earned by our Named Executive Officers. In March 2017, the Compensation Committee adjusted the MIP's earnings before interest and taxes ("EBIT") targets to account for incremental costs

ZEQ.=1,SEQ=54,EFW="2232894",CP="LAMB WESTON HOLDINGS, INC.",DN="1",CHK=512659,FOLIO='49',FILE='DISK124:[17ZBT1.17ZBT48601]DM48601A.;55',USER='CHE105540',CD=';9-AUG-2017;02:06'

$416.5 million	$490 million	$563.5 million

end of user-specified TAGGED TABLE

In addition to setting the initial performance goals for the MIP, Conagra's Human Resources Committee approved target MIP opportunities (as a percentage of base salary) for Tom Werner during the period he served as the head of Conagra's Lamb Weston business unit, and for Eryk Spytek and Micheline Carter in connection with their respective hires as executive officers of Lamb Weston. Our Compensation Committee determined the annual incentive opportunity for Tom Werner as Chief Executive Officer of Lamb Weston and also set the target MIP opportunity for Rob McNutt in connection with his hire. The following table shows the range of potential payments (expressed as a percentage of base salary earned during fiscal 2017) for each of our Named Executive Officers upon achievement of the threshold, target and maximum EBIT goals approved for the MIP.

(1) After the spinoff, Tom Werner's target MIP award was increased from 80% to 100% of his base salary to reflect his new role as Chief Executive Officer of Lamb Weston as a publicly traded company. (2) Tim McLevish does not participate in the MIP.

After taking into account reported results and the approved adjustments, we achieved fiscal 2017 EBIT of $594 million for MIP purposes, which was meaningfully above the maximum level of performance. As such, our Named Executive Officers earned the following amounts under our MIP for fiscal 2017, after proration for changes in target MIP opportunity, or the amount of time employed during fiscal 2017, as applicable:

The Compensation Committee believes in aligning our Named Executive Officers' interests with those of our stockholders. The significant extent to which equity was included in our Named Executive Officers' compensation opportunities evidences this belief. In fiscal 2017, prior to the spinoff, Conagra's Human Resources Committee determined that it was appropriate to award performance shares to Tom Werner that would vest based on Lamb Weston performance, along with stock options and RSUs. The value of these awards was determined based on his role as the head of Conagra's Lamb Weston business unit. In addition, Conagra's Human Resources Committee determined it was appropriate to award RSUs to Eryk Spytek and Micheline Carter in connection with their respective hires as executive officers of Lamb Weston. Following the spinoff, our Compensation Committee also awarded RSUs to Rob McNutt in connection with his hire as an executive officer of Lamb Weston.

Table of Contents

In December 2016, our Compensation Committee awarded Tom Werner and Tim McLevish a mix of stock options and RSUs. These awards were intended to provide a long-term incentive opportunity for the portion of fiscal 2017 that they served in their new roles as executive officers of an independent public company. When developing the target dollar value of these awards, the Compensation Committee took into account the competitive market for their new positions and the period of time that they served in the new roles. The Compensation Committee granted stock options and RSUs to provide incentives to enhance stockholder value and further link executives to stockholders.

Treatment of Outstanding Conagra Equity Compensation in the Spinoff . As of the spinoff, each outstanding Conagra equity award held by our Named Executive Officers other than John Gehring was converted into an award with respect to our common stock. In each case, the awards were adjusted in a manner intended to preserve the aggregate intrinsic value of the original Conagra equity award and, other than regarding performance share awards (which are described in more detail below), the terms of the equity awards, such as vesting dates, remained substantially the same. Due to the limited term of his arrangement with Lamb Weston, John Gehring's outstanding Conagra equity awards at the spinoff were not converted into equity awards covering Lamb Weston common stock and continue to be settled in Conagra stock after the spinoff.

Stock Options . Stock options are designed to directly align our Named Executive Officers' interests with those of our stockholders. All options granted during fiscal 2017 have a ten-year term and have an exercise price equal to the closing market price of our common stock on the date of grant. The options vest 33% on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date, generally subject (as originally designed) to continued employment with us. The number and grant date fair value of stock options granted to our Named Executive Officers during fiscal 2017 are set forth below (in the case of Tom Werner, as adjusted for the spinoff):

RSUs . RSUs are designed to provide an incentive for executive officers to enhance stockholder value.

Performance Shares . Performance shares are designed to represent an opportunity to earn a defined number of shares of our common stock if we achieve pre-set, three-year performance goals. Dividend equivalents are paid on the portion of the performance shares actually earned and were designed to be paid at the regular dividend rate in shares of our common stock. Any earned performance shares are paid following the end of the three-year performance period. None of our Named Executive Officers other than Tom Werner were granted performance shares in fiscal 2017.

Prior to the spinoff, Conagra's Human Resources Committee granted performance shares to Tom Werner in each of 2015, 2016 and 2017, all of which were outstanding at the time of the spinoff. In connection with the spinoff, his Conagra performance shares were converted into Lamb Weston performance shares (payable in our common stock), with the number of shares subject to each award equitably adjusted in a manner intended to preserve the aggregate intrinsic value of the original award, but otherwise remained subject to substantially the same terms and vesting criteria as included in the original grant. Summarized below are the performance expectations for each performance share grant and the actual earned shares in fiscal 2017.

Fiscal 2017 to Fiscal 2019 Cycle. In fiscal 2017, Conagra's Human Resources Committee granted Tom Werner an award of Conagra performance shares for the fiscal 2017 to fiscal 2019 performance cycle, which were converted into performance shares for our common stock in connection with the spinoff. The target and maximum number of performance shares granted to Tom Werner by Conagra's Human Resources Committee in fiscal 2017, for the fiscal 2017 to 2019 cycle, are set forth below (as adjusted for the spinoff).

Conagra's Human Resources Committee left the performance expectations for this grant to the determination of our Compensation Committee. Our Compensation Committee determined that the performance for each fiscal year in the three-year performance period will be based on our annual incentive plan performance for each respective fiscal year. Our Compensation Committee determined that this was a reasonable approach as a new public company.

In July 2017, after taking into account our successful spinoff and our fiscal 2017 EBIT performance, the Compensation Committee determined that Tom Werner had achieved 200% of the target number of performance shares for the fiscal 2017 tranche.

Fiscal 2016 to Fiscal 2018 Cycle. Prior to the spinoff, Conagra's Human Resources Committee determined that the fiscal 2016 tranche of Tom Werner's Conagra performance share award for the fiscal 2016 to 2018 cycle was earned at 200% of target. Similar to the fiscal 2017 to fiscal 2019 award, Conagra's Human Resources Committee left the performance expectations for the fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2018 tranches of this award to the determination of our Compensation Committee. Our Compensation Committee determined that the performance for the fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2019 tranches of this award will be based on our annual incentive plan performance for each respective fiscal year.

Fiscal 2015 to Fiscal 2017 Cycle. In connection with the spinoff, Conagra's Human Resources Committee determined that Tom Werner's Conagra performance share award for the fiscal 2015 to 2017 cycle were earned at 94.9 percent of target, which resulted in 15,168 shares being earned and remaining subject to the service-based vesting through the end of fiscal 2017.

In connection with our spinoff from Conagra in November 2016, the annual compensation of our Named Executive Officers who previously provided services to Conagra was increased to reflect their larger roles and substantial increase in responsibilities, and we hired additional executive officers with the experience necessary to successfully complete the spinoff and transition to an independent public company. The following table summarizes the annualized total target compensation opportunity for each of our Named Executive Officers as approved by the Compensation Committee in fiscal 2017.

Health and Welfare Benefits . We offer a package of core employee benefits to each of our Named Executive Officers. With respect to health and welfare benefits, we offer health, dental and vision coverage and life and disability insurance. With respect to retirement benefits, we maintain a qualified 401(k) retirement plan (with a company match on employee contributions) in which our Named Executive Officers are entitled to participate on the same terms as our other employees. We also have a relocation policy that provides benefits to employees who are required to relocate in connection with their employment.

Our Named Executive Officers also are eligible to participate in a voluntary deferred compensation plan. The voluntary deferred compensation plans permits us to pay retirement benefits in amounts that exceed the limitations imposed by the Code under our qualified 401(k) retirement plan and permits our Named Executive Officers to save for retirement in a tax-efficient way at a minimal administrative cost to us. The voluntary deferred compensation plan allows our Named Executive Officers to defer up to 50% of base salary and 90% of annual cash incentive compensation. Participants in the voluntary deferred compensation plan are not entitled to above-market (as defined by the SEC) or guaranteed rates of return on their deferred funds. In addition, in fiscal 2017, Tom Werner and John Gehring participated in qualified and non-qualified pension plans offered by Conagra. Following the spinoff, we do not maintain any pension plans for the benefit of our employees, including our Named Executive Officers.

We include contributions made to our Named Executive Officers' 401(k) plan and voluntary deferred compensation accounts in the "All Other Compensation" column of the "Summary Compensation TableFiscal 2017" under "Executive Compensation Tables" below.

Executive Change of Control Severance Plan . Each of our current Named Executive Officers participates in our Executive Change of Control Severance Plan (the "COC Plan"), which provides certain "double trigger" benefits in the event of a qualifying termination of employment in connection with a change of control, as more fully described under "Executive Compensation TablesPotential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control" below. Tim McLevish only participates in the COC Plan with respect to potential acceleration of his equity awards and is not eligible to receive any other change of control severance payments. We believe the COC Plan maximizes stockholder value because it prevents an unintended windfall to our executive officers in the event of a change of control of the Company, while still providing them appropriate incentives to cooperate in negotiating a transaction involving a potential change of control of the Company in which they believe they may lose their jobs. We believe providing the COC Plan helps us compete for and retain executive talent. We believe that the payments and benefits under the COC Plan are generally comparable with severance packages offered to executive officers by the companies in our compensation peer group.

In November 2016, the Compensation Committee approved Tom Werner's compensation as the Chief Executive Officer of a newly public company. Our Chief Executive Officer's target total compensation is reviewed by the Compensation Committee in conjunction with his performance review, which occurs in July of each fiscal year. Based on the Company's exceptional performance in fiscal 2017, Tom Werner's strong performance as Chief Executive Officer of an independent, publicly held company, and to bring compensation closer to market median, the Compensation Committee approved Tom Werner's fiscal 2018 target compensation opportunity as follows: base salary of $850,000, target annual incentive compensation of 100% of base salary, and target long-term incentive compensation of $3,300,000.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Stock Ownership Guidelines and Retention Requirements

In March 2017, the Compensation Committee adopted stock ownership guidelines applicable to each member of our executive leadership team, including our Named Executive Officers. These guidelines are represented as a percentage of salary. The Compensation Committee adopted these guidelines because it believes that stock ownership promotes alignment with our stockholder interests. Our executive leadership team is expected to reach their respective ownership requirement within five years after the program is adopted or within 5 years after appointment to the executive leadership team. Shares of our common stock acquired through open market purchases or through our nonqualified deferred compensation plans, as well as equity awards, are counted toward the ownership requirement. Neither unexercised stock options nor unearned performance shares are counted. Executive officers are required to retain 75% of net shares acquired upon vesting of equity awards until the applicable stock ownership guideline is met. The following table reflects stock ownership guidelines as of May 28, 2017 for each of our current Named Executive

If we are required to prepare an accounting restatement due to fraud or dishonesty or if the Compensation Committee determines that an executive officer, including each of our Named Executive Officers, has engaged in certain conduct that is detrimental to us, the Compensation Committee may take action to recoup incentive awards and equity gains on awards granted to such executive officers. This right to recoup expires unless such determination is made by the Board within three years following the payment of the award.

Our Insider Trading Policy prohibits our directors and all of our employees, including our executive officers, from entering into hedging transactions involving our stock, and from holding our stock in a margin account as collateral for a margin loan or otherwise pledging our stock as collateral for a loan.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Tax and Accounting Implications of the Compensation Decisions

U.S. federal income tax law prohibits us from taking a tax deduction for certain compensation paid in excess of $1 million to our Chief Executive Officer or any of our three other most highly compensated executive officers, other than the Chief Financial Officer, who are employed as of the end of the fiscal year. This limitation does not apply to qualified performance-based compensation under federal tax law. Generally, this is compensation paid only if performance meets pre-established, objective goals based on performance metrics approved by our stockholders. Please see "Item 4. Approval of the Material Terms for Qualified Performance-Based Compensation Under the Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc. 2016 Stock Plan" above for the performance metrics under our 2016 Stock Plan that are being submitted for stockholder approval at the Annual Meeting.

The Compensation Committee has indicated that its general intent is to structure our executive compensation programs so that payments may be able to qualify as fully tax deductible. However, while the Compensation Committee believes it is in the best interests of Lamb Weston and our stockholders to have the ability to grant "qualified performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Code, it also may decide from time to time to grant compensation that will not qualify as "qualified performance-based compensation" for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code. Moreover, even if the Compensation Committee intends to grant compensation that qualifies as "qualified performance-based compensation" for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code, we cannot guarantee that such compensation ultimately will be deductible by us.

(1) Messrs. Werner and Gehring served as officers of Conagra prior to the spinoff and amounts in the table above include payments made by Conagra for their service as employees of Conagra. Prior to the spinoff, Mr. McLevish served on Conagra's board of directors and received an annual cash retainer and stock award from Conagra, which amounts are reflected in the table above. Ms. Carter, Mr. Spytek and Mr. McNutt joined the Company in September 2016, October 2016 and January 2017, respectively. Mr. Gehring served as our interim Chief Financial Officer until January 2017. Mr. Gehring served as Conagra's Chief Financial Officer from January 2009 until August 2016. (2) Represents cash sign-on bonuses in connection with the commencement of Ms. Carter's and Mr. Spytek's employment with the Company.

McLevish, McNutt and Spytek, and Conagra RSUs and Conagra performance shares in the case of Mr. Gehring) granted during the reported fiscal years. Stock awards granted prior to the spinoff were made by Conagra. For all Named Executive Officers other than Mr. Gehring, the Conagra stock awards were converted into Lamb Weston stock awards. Mr. Gehring's stock awards continued to relate to Conagra common stock. For the performance shares awarded to Mr. Werner in fiscal 2017 (the fiscal 2017 to fiscal 2019 performance cycle), the amount included ($594,730) is based on the probable outcome of the relevant performance conditions as of the grant date. Assuming the highest level of performance is achieved for the performance shares awarded in fiscal 2017, the grant date fair value of this award would have been $1,189,460. Assumptions used in the calculation of these amounts are included in Note 10 to the combined and consolidated financial statements contained in Lamb Weston's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 2017 fiscal year, filed with the SEC on July 25, 2017.

Lamb Weston does not maintain any defined benefit pension plans for its executive officers. However, prior to the spinoff, Messrs. Werner and Gehring participated in Conagra's non-contributory defined benefit pension plan (the "CAG Qualified Pension") and supplemental retirement plan (the "CAG Non-Qualified Pension"). In addition, Mr. Gehring continued to accrue benefits under the CAG Qualified Pension and CAG Non-Qualified Pension until his termination of employment from Lamb Weston. Please refer to our Form 10 filing dated October 17, 2016 and Conagra's public filings for a summary of the terms of the CAG Qualified Pension and CAG Non-Qualified Pension. Going forward, our Named Executive Officers will not accrue benefits under the CAG Qualified Pension and CAG Non-Qualified Pension.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Non-Qualified Deferred CompensationFiscal 2017

The table following this summary shows the non-qualified deferred compensation activity for each of our Named Executive Officers during fiscal 2017. The amounts shown include pre-spinoff amounts deferred under Conagra's Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan (the "CAG Directors' Deferred Comp Plan", only with respect to Mr. McLevish), which is Conagra's voluntary deferred compensation plan for non-employee directors, Conagra's Amended and Restated Non-Qualified CRISP Plan, as amended (the "CAG Non-Qualified CRISP"), which is Conagra's non-qualified 401(k) plan, and Conagra's Amended and Restated Voluntary Deferred Compensation Plan, as amended (the "CAG Voluntary Deferred Comp Plan"), which is Conagra's voluntary deferred compensation plan for certain domestic management-level employees. Please refer to Conagra's public filings for summaries of those deferred compensation arrangements.

In addition, the amounts shown include post-spinoff amounts deferred under Lamb Weston's Voluntary Deferred Compensation Plan (the "LW Voluntary Deferred Comp Plan"), which allows key employees, including our Named Executive Officers, to defer receipt of 5% to 50% of their salary and up to 90% of their annual incentive payment and Lamb Weston's Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan (the "LW Directors' Deferred Comp Plan"), which, in the case of Mr. McLevish, includes balances converted from the CAG Directors' Deferred Comp Plan. The investment alternatives for deferred amounts are an interest bearing account, a Lamb Weston stock account or other investment options that mirror those available under our qualified 401(k) plan. The Lamb Weston stock account includes a dividend reinvestment feature that converts dividends paid by Lamb Weston into additional shares of Lamb Weston. Amounts deferred into the Lamb Weston stock account, together with earnings and dividends thereon, are ultimately distributed in shares of Lamb Weston common stock. Amounts deferred into the interest bearing account or the accounts that mirror those available under our qualified 401(k) plan are ultimately distributed in cash. An election to participate in the LW Voluntary Deferred Comp Plan must be timely filed with Lamb Weston in accordance with the requirements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service ("IRS").

Table of Contents

The LW Voluntary Deferred Comp Plan also provides non-qualified matching contribution retirement benefits to its participants. The LW Voluntary Deferred Comp Plan provides for company matching contributions and company non-elective contributions for eligible participants for amounts of salary and bonus that are above IRS limits. The Lamb Weston matching contribution is made by Lamb Weston at the end of each calendar year. At that time, Lamb Weston credits an eligible participant's account in the LW Voluntary Deferred Comp Plan with (1) a matching contribution equal to a dollar for dollar match, limited to 6% of compensation earned by the participant and paid by Lamb Weston in excess of the IRS limit and (2) a non-elective contribution equal to 3% of an eligible participant's compensation in excess of the IRS limit. Eligible participants are allowed to defer no more than 50% of their base salary and no more than 90% of their annual incentive payment that exceeds the IRS limit. Matching contributions and non-elective contributions will be credited on or about December 31st of each year if the eligible participant earns in excess of the IRS limit and the participant is actively employed at the end of the calendar year. The LW Voluntary Deferred Comp Plan also provides that, unless Lamb Weston determines otherwise with respect to a participant, the interest of each participant in his matching contributions and non-elective contributions will be 100% vested.

In general, all LW Voluntary Deferred Comp amounts are designed to be distributed in cash in a lump sum and/or in shares of Lamb Weston common stock in January following the individual's separation from service. Elections regarding the time and form of payment are intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code, and certain payments to executives meeting the definition of a "specified employee" under Section 409A will be delayed for six months after the date of the separation from service. Executives may make hardship withdrawals from the LW Voluntary Deferred Comp Plan under certain circumstances, but no hardship withdrawals were requested by our Named Executive Officers during fiscal 2017.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control

The employment of each of our current Named Executive Officers could have ended or terminated as of May 28, 2017 under several possible scenarios. In some of those scenarios, our compensatory plans, agreements and arrangements would have provided severance benefits in varying amounts. Further, our plans, agreements and arrangements would have provided for certain benefits (or for acceleration of certain benefits) upon a change of control. Severance and other benefits that would have been payable upon a termination of service, termination of employment or upon a change of control are described below.

The table following the narrative discussion summarizes amounts that would have been payable upon termination or a change of control under varying circumstances, assuming that the change of control occurred, or the executive's employment terminated on May 28, 2017, the last day of fiscal 2017. Other key assumptions used in compiling the table are set forth immediately preceding the table. In the event of an actual triggering event under any of the plans, agreements and arrangements discussed in this section, all benefits would have been paid in accordance with, and at times permitted by, Section 409A of the Code. As John Gehring terminated employment from Lamb Weston in January 2017, his termination arrangements are not described in the table and narratives below. As more fully described in "Summary Compensation TableFiscal 2017", in connection with his previously disclosed Interim Position and Non-Compete Agreement with the Company, Mr. Gehring received a prorated amount of his MIP award and a lump sum payment of $150,000.

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" Executive Change of Control Plan

In March 2017, our Compensation Committee approved the COC Plan in order to provide certain benefits to our executive officers in the event of a qualifying termination of employment in connection with a change of control transaction involving the Company. The Compensation Committee initially designated Mr. Werner as a Tier I Participant in the COC Plan and each of Mr. McNutt, Mr. Spytek and Ms. Carter as Tier II Participants in the COC Plan. Mr. McLevish participates in the COC Plan only with respect to the equity award acceleration provisions described below.

A participant in the COC Plan will become eligible to receive benefits under the COC Plan if such participant (i) terminates his or her employment for good reason within 24 months following the effective date of a change of control or (ii) is terminated without cause (A) within the 24 months following a change of control or (B) in the six months prior to a change of control if such termination occurs (x) at the request of a third party who had taken steps reasonably calculated or intended to effect the change of control or (y) in connection with or in anticipation of the change of control. A participant who terminates employment due to death or disability will not be eligible to receive benefits under the COC Plan unless a voluntary termination of employment by the participant immediately prior to the participant's death or disability would have qualified as good reason.

If a participant experiences a qualifying termination (as described in the immediately preceding paragraph), the participant will be eligible to receive the following benefits, subject to the participant's execution of an effective release of claims in favor of the Lamb Weston and continued compliance with certain restrictive covenants:

OTHER MATTERS THAT MAY BE PRESENTED AT THE ANNUAL MEETING

We do not know of any matters, other than those described in this Proxy Statement, that may be presented for action at the Annual Meeting. If any other matters properly come before the Annual Meeting, your proxy gives authority to the persons designated as proxies to vote in accordance with their best judgment. The Chairman of the Annual Meeting may refuse to allow the presentation of a proposal or a nomination for the Board at the Annual Meeting if it is not properly submitted.

PROCEDURAL MATTERS AND FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. When and where is the Annual Meeting?

We will hold the Annual Meeting on Thursday, September 28, 2017, at 8:00 a.m. MDT at The Hilton Garden Inn, 145 E. Riverside Drive, Eagle, Idaho 83616.

2. Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?

The Board established July 31, 2017 as the record date (the "Record Date") for the Annual Meeting. Stockholders holding shares of our common stock on the Record Date are entitled to (a) receive notice of the Annual Meeting, (b) attend the Annual Meeting and (c) vote on all matters that properly come before the Annual Meeting. At the close of business on the Record Date, 146,170,788 shares of our common stock were outstanding and entitled to vote. Each share is entitled to one vote on each matter to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting.

3. Why am I receiving these proxy materials?

You have received the proxy materials because, as of the Record Date, you directly held, and had the right to vote, shares of Lamb Weston common stock. In connection with our Board's solicitation of proxies to be voted at the Annual Meeting, we are providing stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting with this

Table of Contents

Proxy Statement, our Form 10-K, a letter to stockholders from our Chief Executive Officer and a voting ballot (in the form of a proxy card, voting instruction form, or a unique control number that allows you to vote via the Internet or by phone). We refer to these materials collectively as the "proxy materials." The proxy materials provide important information about Lamb Weston and describe the voting procedures and the matters to be voted on at the Annual Meeting.

4. What is the difference between registered holders and beneficial holders?

The most common ways in which stockholders hold Lamb Weston stock are:

If you hold your shares as a registered stockholder, our agent provides the proxy materials to you and your vote instructs the proxies how to vote your shares.

If you hold your shares in street name as a beneficial stockholder, your broker, bank or other nominee provides the proxy materials to you. Your vote instructs your nominee how to vote your shares, and that nominee in turn instructs the proxies how to vote your shares.

5. How is Lamb Weston distributing proxy materials?

We are furnishing proxy materials to our stockholders primarily via "Notice and Access" delivery. On or about August 10, 2017, we mailed to our stockholders (other than those who previously requested email or paper delivery) a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the "Notice") containing instructions on how to access the proxy materials via the Internet. If you receive a Notice by mail, you will not receive a printed copy of the proxy materials in the mail. Instead, the Notice instructs you on how to access the proxy materials and vote by going to a secure website. If you received a Notice by mail and would like to receive paper copies of our proxy materials in the mail on a one-time or ongoing basis, you may follow the instructions in the Notice for making this request. The Notice also contains instructions on how you may request to receive an electronic copy of our proxy materials by email on a one-time or ongoing basis.

6. How may I request printed copies of the proxy materials?

We will send printed, paper copies of proxy materials free of charge to any stockholder who requests copies by using one of the following methods:

COMMAND=STYLE_ADDED,"margin-left:0pt;text-indent:-0pt;" These materials are also available at www.proxyvote.com .

7. What is the quorum requirement?

A quorum will be present if a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock entitled to vote as of the Record Date is represented at the Annual Meeting, either in person or by proxy. Broker non-votes and abstentions will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.

Table of Contents

8. What vote is needed to elect directors?

Our bylaws provide that, to be elected at this Annual Meeting, a director nominee must receive the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast in the election. A majority of votes cast means that the number of shares voted "FOR" a director's election exceeds 50% of the number of votes cast with respect to the director's election. An incumbent director nominee who does not receive the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast in the election is required promptly to tender his or her resignation to the Board, and the resignation will be accepted or rejected by the Board as more fully described in the "Corporate Governance" section of this Proxy Statement. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not treated as votes cast and, therefore, will not factor in the determination of whether an affirmative vote of a majority is received in the election of directors.

9. What vote is needed to approve the other proposals?

Approval of each proposal, other than the election of directors, requires the favorable vote of a majority of votes cast by the stockholders entitled to vote thereon who are present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting; provided that in the case of Item 3 (Advisory Vote on the Frequency of an Executive Compensation Vote), if no option receives a majority of votes present, the outcome shall be determined by a plurality of votes present. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered as votes cast for non-routine proposals. Please see Question 11 below for more information on broker non-votes.

10. How do I vote my shares?

If you are a registered stockholder , you may vote:

If you hold your shares in street name , you may vote:

11. What are broker non-votes?

As described above in Question 4, if you hold your shares in street name, your vote instructs your broker, bank or other nominee, as the holder of record, how to vote your shares. If you do not provide voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee, your nominee has discretion to vote your shares on "routine" matters. The ratification of the selection of the independent auditors (Item 5) is the only item on the agenda for the Annual Meeting that is considered routine. If you do not provide voting instructions and your

Table of Contents

nominee votes your shares, your shares will be counted toward the quorum for the Annual Meeting and voted on Item 5, but they will not be voted on the other items on the agenda, resulting in "broker non-votes" with respect to those other items.

12. May I change or revoke my vote?

Yes. If you are a registered stockholder, any subsequent vote you cast will replace your earlier vote. This applies whether you vote by mailing a proxy card or by telephone or the Internet. You may also revoke an earlier vote by voting in person at the Annual Meeting. Alternatively, you may revoke your proxy by submitting a written revocation to our Corporate Secretary at Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc., 599 S. Rivershore Lane, Eagle, Idaho 83616.

If you hold your shares in street name, you must contact your broker, bank or other nominee for specific instructions on how to change or revoke your vote.

13. Who bears the cost of soliciting votes for the Annual Meeting?

We bear the cost of soliciting your vote. Our directors, officers or employees may solicit proxies or votes in person, by telephone or by electronic communication. They will not receive any additional compensation for these solicitation activities.

We will enlist the help of banks, brokers and other nominee holders in soliciting proxies for the Annual Meeting from their customers (i.e., beneficial stockholders) and reimburse those firms for related out-of-pocket expenses.

14. What is "Householding"?

Unless you advised otherwise, if you hold your shares in street name and you and other residents at your mailing address share the same last name and also own shares of Lamb Weston common stock in an account at the same broker, bank or other nominee, your nominee delivered a single Notice or set of proxy materials to your address. This method of delivery is known as householding. Householding reduces the number of mailings you receive, saves on printing and postage costs and helps the environment. Stockholders who participate in householding continue to receive separate voting instruction cards and control numbers for voting electronically. A stockholder who wishes to receive a separate copy of the Notice or proxy materials, now or in the future, should submit this request by writing Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York, 11717, or calling 1-866-540-7095. Beneficial owners sharing an address who are receiving multiple copies of the proxy materials and wish to receive a single copy of these materials in the future should contact their broker, bank or other nominee to make this request.

If you are a registered stockholder, we sent you and each registered stockholder at your address separate Notices or sets of proxy materials.

15. Are my votes confidential?

Yes. Your votes will not be disclosed to our directors, officers or employees, except (a) as necessary to meet applicable legal requirements and to assert or defend claims for or against us, (b) in the case of a contested proxy solicitation, (c) if you provide a comment with your proxy or otherwise communicate your vote to us outside of the normal procedures or (d) as necessary to allow the inspector of election to certify the results.

16. Who counts the votes?

Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. will receive and tabulate the proxies, and a representative of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. will act as the inspector of election and will certify the results.

17. How do I find out the voting results?

The Form 8-K will be available at https://investors.lambweston.com/stock-and-filings/sec-filings and on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov .

18. How can I attend the Annual Meeting?

If you would like to attend the Annual Meeting, you must have been a stockholder of record on the Record Date and you must obtain an admission ticket in advance. Admission tickets can be printed by accessing the "Register for Meeting" link at www.proxyvote.com and following the instructions provided (you will need the 16-digit control number included on your proxy card, voting instruction form or Notice).

5.4 Cancelled, Terminated, Forfeited or Surrendered Awards . Any shares of Stock subject to an Award that for any reason is cancelled, terminated or forfeited, or that lapses, expires, or becomes unexercisable for any other reason, or is settled for cash (in whole or in part), will, to the extent of such cancellation, termination, forfeiture, lapse, expiration, unexercisability or cash settlement, again be available for Awards under the Plan; provided , however , that the following shares of Stock may not again be made available for issuance of Awards under the Plan: (a) shares used to pay the exercise price of an outstanding Award, (b) shares used to pay withholding taxes related to an outstanding Option or SAR Award, and (c) shares not issued or delivered as a result of the net share settlement of an outstanding SAR. In the event withholding tax liabilities arising from an Award other than an Option or SAR are satisfied by the tendering of shares (either actually or by attestation) or by the withholding of shares by the Company, the shares so tendered or withheld up to the statutory minimum required withholding amount shall again be available for Awards under the Plan; provided , however , that such recycling of shares for tax withholding purposes is limited to 10 years from the latest date of stockholder approval of the Plan if such recycling involves shares that have actually been issued by the Company. Stock reacquired by the Company on the open market or otherwise using cash proceeds from the exercise of Options will not be added to the aggregate number of shares of Stock available under Section 5.1(a) above.

5.5 Adjustments . The Committee shall make or provide for such adjustments in the terms and conditions of Awards granted hereunder as the Committee, in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, determines is equitably required to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of Participants that otherwise would result from any change in corporate capitalization (such as a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares, recapitalization or other change in the capital structure of the Company), or any corporate transaction such as a reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, combination or separation (including a spin-off, split-off, spin-out, split-up), partial or complete liquidation or other distribution of assets, issuance of rights or warrants to purchase securities of the Company, or sale or other disposition by the Company of all or a portion of its assets, or any other change in the Company's corporate structure, or any distribution to stockholders (other than a cash dividend that is not an extraordinary cash dividend), or any other corporate transaction or event having an effect similar to any of the foregoing. Moreover, in the event of any such transaction or event or in the event of a Change of Control, the Committee, in its discretion, may provide in substitution for any or all outstanding Awards under the Plan such alternative consideration (including cash), if any, as it, in good faith, may determine to be equitable in the circumstances and may require in connection therewith the surrender of all Awards so replaced in a manner that complies with Code Section 409A. In addition, for each Option or SAR with an exercise price greater than the consideration offered in connection with any such transaction or event described in this Section 5.5 or a Change of Control, the Committee may in its sole discretion elect to cancel such Option or SAR without any payment to the person holding such Option or SAR. The Committee shall also make or provide for such adjustments in the number of and kind of shares of Stock and amounts of cash (and related provisions) specified in Section 5 of the Plan as the Committee in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, determines is appropriate to reflect any transaction or event described in this Section 5.5 ; provided , however , that any such adjustment to the number specified in Section 5.2 of the Plan will be made only if and to the extent that such adjustment would not cause any Option intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option to fail to so qualify. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall this Section 5.5 be construed to permit a modification (including a replacement) of an Option or SAR if such modification either: (a) would result in accelerated recognition of income or imposition of additional tax under Code Section 409A; or (b) would cause the Option or SAR subject to the modification (or cause a replacement Option or SAR) to be subject to Code Section 409A, provided that the restriction of this clause (b) shall not apply to any Option or SAR that, at the time it is granted or otherwise, is designated as being deferred compensation subject to

An Option Award may also provide for the exercise price to be payable (a) by the actual or constructive transfer to the Company of shares of Stock owned by the Participant having a value at the time of exercise equal to the total Option exercise price, (b) subject to any conditions or limitations established by the Committee, by the withholding of shares of Stock otherwise issuable upon exercise of the Option pursuant to a "net exercise" arrangement (it being understood that, solely for purposes of determining the number of treasury shares held by the Company, the shares of Stock so withheld will not be treated as issued and acquired by the Company upon such exercise) or (c) by a combination of such methods of payment. Subject to applicable law, the Committee may also permit a Participant to elect to pay the exercise price upon the exercise of an Option by irrevocably authorizing a third party to sell shares of Stock (or a sufficient portion of the shares) acquired upon the exercise of the Option and remit to the Company a sufficient portion of the sale proceeds to pay the entire exercise price and any withholding taxes resulting from such exercise. The Committee may approve other methods of payment. As soon as practicable after receipt of a notice of exercise and full payment of the exercise price, the Company shall deliver to the Participant, either by electronic means or by stock certificate or certificates, the acquired shares of Stock.

6.5 Incentive Stock Options . Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, except with respect to the Committee's discretion to terminate or adjust awards under Section 12.5 , no term of the Plan relating to Incentive Stock Options shall be interpreted, amended or altered, nor shall any discretion or authority granted under the Plan be so exercised, so as to disqualify the Plan under Code Section 422, or, without the consent of any Participant affected thereby, to cause any Incentive Stock Option previously granted to fail to qualify for the Federal income tax treatment afforded under Code Section 421.

6.6 No Reload Grants . Options shall not be granted under the Plan in consideration for the delivery of Stock to the Company in payment of the exercise price and/or tax withholding obligation under any other Option or SAR.

8.1 SARs In Tandem with Options . SARs may be granted to Participants in tandem with any Option granted under the Plan, either at or after the time of the grant of such Option, subject to such terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall determine. Each SAR granted in tandem with an Option shall only be exercisable to the extent that the corresponding Option is exercisable, and shall terminate upon termination or exercise of the corresponding Option. Upon the exercise of any SAR granted in tandem with an Option, the corresponding Option shall terminate.

8.2 Other SARs . SARs may also be granted to Participants separately from any Option, subject to such terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall determine.

8.3 SAR Price . Subject to adjustments to an exercise price permitted pursuant to Section 5.5 or as permitted under Section 5.7 , and except with respect to Adjusted Awards, SARs granted pursuant to the Plan shall have an exercise price which is not less than the Fair Market Value on the date the SAR is granted.

8.4 Exercise of SARs . SARs awarded to a Participant under the Plan shall be exercisable at such times and shall be subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Committee may impose, and the Committee may provide for the earlier exercisability or continued vesting of such SARs, including in the event of the retirement, death or disability of the Participant or a Change of Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no SAR shall be exercisable for more than ten years after the date on which it is granted. In addition, the Committee may provide in any Agreement for the automatic exercise of a SAR upon such terms and conditions as established by the Committee.

8.5 Payment . The Committee shall establish procedures governing the exercise of SARs, which shall require that notice of exercise be given and that the Participant satisfy any tax withholding requirements resulting from such exercise as provided in Section 12.4 . As soon as practicable after receipt of a notice of exercise and full payment of any withholding taxes, the Company shall deliver to the Participant (i) either by electronic means or by stock certificate or certificates the acquired shares of Stock or (ii) the cash payment, as specified in the applicable Agreement.

Table of Contents

9.2 Grant of Restricted Stock . Each grant of Restricted Stock shall be subject to such restrictions, which may relate to continued employment with the Company, performance of the Company or the Participant, or other restrictions, as the Committee may determine. The Committee may provide for the earlier termination of such restrictions or continued vesting, including in the event of the retirement, death or disability of the Participant or a Change of Control; provided , however , that no such adjustment will be made in the case of a Qualified Performance-Based Award (other than in connection with the death or disability of the Participant or a Change of Control) where such action would result in the loss of the otherwise available exemption of the Award under Code Section 162(m).

9.3 Other Stock-Based Awards, General . Other Stock-Based Awards shall be in such form, and dependent on such conditions, as the Committee shall determine, including, without limitation, the right to receive or vest with respect to, one or more shares of Stock (or the equivalent cash value of such Stock) upon the completion of a specified period of service, the occurrence of an event, and/or the attainment of one or more performance objectives. Such Other Stock-Based Awards may include Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares, and Stock awards permitted under Section 7.1 . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, any grant of an Award under this Section 9.3 may provide for the earning or vesting (or continued vesting) of, or earlier elimination of restrictions applicable to, such Other Stock-Based Award, including in the event of the retirement, death or disability of the Participant or a Change of Control; provided , however , that no such adjustment will be made in the case of a Qualified Performance-Based Award (other than in connection with the death or disability of the Participant or a Change of Control) where such action would result in the loss of the otherwise available exemption of the Award under Code Section 162(m).

9.4 Awards Subject to Code Section 162(m) . The special rules of this Section 9.4 shall apply with respect to Qualified Performance-Based Awards. For the avoidance of doubt, the Committee may grant Awards subject to performance goals that are either Qualified Performance-Based Awards or are not Qualified Performance-Based Awards.

If the Committee determines that a change in the business, operations, corporate structure or capital structure of the Company, or the manner in which it conducts its business, or other events or circumstances render the performance goals unsuitable, the Committee may in its discretion modify such performance goals or the acceptable levels of achievement, in whole or in part, as the Committee deems appropriate and equitable, except in the case of a Qualified Performance-Based Award (other than in connection with a Participant's death or disability or a Change of Control) to the extent such action would result in the loss of the otherwise available exemption of the award under Code Section 162(m).

SECTION 10. CASH INCENTIVE AWARDS

10.1 General . The Committee may, from time to time and upon such terms and conditions as it may determine, authorize the granting of Cash Incentive Awards. Each grant of a Cash Incentive Award will specify one or more performance goals that, if achieved, will result in payment or partial payment of the Award. Each grant of a Cash Incentive Award shall be evidenced by an Agreement that shall specify the terms and conditions of the Award not inconsistent with the Plan as the Committee shall determine.

10.2 Certain Changes to Cash Incentive Awards . Each grant will specify the amount payable with respect to a Cash Incentive Award to which it pertains, which amount may be subject to adjustment to reflect changes in compensation or other factors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, any grant of a Cash Incentive Award may provide for the earning of such Cash Incentive Award, including in the event of the retirement, death or disability of the Participant or a Change of Control; provided , however , that no adjustment described in this Section 10.2 will be made in the case of a Qualified Performance-Based Award (other than in connection with the death or disability of the Participant or a Change of Control) to the extent such action would result in the loss of the otherwise available exemption of the Award under Code Section 162(m).

SECTION 11. AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, AND TERMINATION OF PLAN

11.1 General . The Board may from time to time amend, modify or terminate any or all of the provisions of the Plan, subject to the provisions of this Section 11.1 . No amendment or termination shall be adopted or effective if it would result in accelerated recognition of income or imposition of additional tax under Code Section 409A or, except as otherwise provided in the amendment, would cause amounts that were not otherwise subject to Code Section 409A to become subject to Code Section 409A. Furthermore, the Board may not make any amendment which would materially (a) modify the requirements for participation in the Plan, (b) increase the number of shares of Stock subject to Awards under the Plan pursuant to Section 5.1 , (c) change the minimum exercise price for stock options or SARs as provided in Section 6.2 and Section 8.3 , or (d) extend the term of the Plan, in each case without applicable stockholder approval. Except as specifically provided in the Plan or except to the minimum extent necessary to comply with applicable law, no amendment or modification of the Plan shall materially and adversely affect the rights of any Participant with respect to a previously granted Award without the written consent of the Participant.

11.2 Amendment of Agreement.

11.3 Detrimental Activity and Recapture Provisions . All Awards shall be subject to the Committee's right to cancel such Awards and/or to impose forfeitures to the extent required under Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Subject to other or different terms and conditions as may be specified in an Agreement, if the Committee determines that a present or former Employee or Eligible Director has (a) used for profit or disclosed to unauthorized persons, confidential or trade secrets of the Company, (b) breached any contract with or violated any fiduciary obligation to the Company, or (c) engaged in any conduct that the Committee determines is injurious to the Company, the Committee may cause that Employee or Eligible Director to forfeit his or her outstanding Awards under the Plan. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, and except as otherwise determined by the Committee: (x) Awards granted under the Plan will be subject to the terms and conditions of any applicable recoupment or clawback policy of the Company as may be in effect from time to time; and (y) if no such recoupment or clawback policy is in effect, then Awards granted under the Plan (or Stock issued under and/or any other benefit related to such Awards) will be deemed to be subject to recoupment or clawback by the Company on the terms and conditions as provided for under Section 10D of the Act and any applicable rules or regulations

promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any national securities exchange or national securities association on which the Stock may be traded.

SECTION 12. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

12.1 Nontransferability of Awards . Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, no Awards granted under the Plan may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. In no event will any Award granted under the Plan be transferred for value.

12.2 Beneficiary Designation . Each Participant under the Plan may from time to time name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingent or successively) to whom any benefit under the Plan is to be paid or by whom any right under the Plan is to be exercised in case of his or her death. Each designation will revoke all prior designations by the same Participant and will be effective only when filed in writing with the Company during the Participant's lifetime. In the absence of any such designation, Awards outstanding at death may be exercised by the Participant's surviving spouse, if any, or otherwise by the Participant's estate.

12.3 No Guarantee of Employment or Participation . Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company to terminate any Participant's employment at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company. No individual shall have a right to be selected as a Participant, or, having been so selected, to receive any future Awards.

12.4 Tax Withholding . The Company shall have the power to withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy all withholding tax requirements on any Award under the Plan, and the Company may defer issuance of Stock until such requirements are satisfied. Unless not permitted by the Committee at the time of the grant of an Award or thereafter, a Participant may elect, subject to Committee approval and such conditions as the Committee shall impose, including conditions and restrictions intended to comply with securities laws and any Company policies regarding trading in securities, to satisfy any tax withholding requirements (a) by having shares of Stock otherwise issuable under the Plan withheld by the Company or by delivering to the Company previously acquired shares of Stock, in each case having a Fair Market Value sufficient to satisfy all or part of the Participant's applicable withholding tax obligation associated with the transaction, or (b) by remitting cash or a check. Unless not permitted by the Committee at the time of grant of an Award or thereafter, and subject to any rules established by the Company, the Participant shall be able to satisfy additional tax withholding above the statutory minimum applicable withholding amounts by delivering to the Company previously acquired shares of Stock or by having shares of Stock otherwise issuable under the Plan withheld by the Company, in each case with a Fair Market Value equal to the additional withholding amounts; provided , however , that the Participant shall not be entitled to deliver such additional shares if it would cause adverse accounting or tax consequences for the Company.

12.5 Change of Control . For purposes of the Plan, except as may be otherwise prescribed by the Committee in an Agreement, a "Change of Control" will be deemed to have occurred upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

Table of Contents

12.6 Special Rule Related to Securities Trading Policy . The Company has established (or may from time to time establish) a securities trading policy (the " Policy ") relative to disclosure and trading on inside information as described in the Policy. Under the Policy, certain Employees and Eligible Directors are or may be prohibited from trading Stock or other securities of the Company except during certain "window periods" as described in the Policy. If, under the terms of an Agreement, the last day on which an Option or SAR can be exercised falls on a date that is not, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, within a window period permitted by the Policy, the applicable exercise period shall automatically be extended by this Section 12.6 until the second business day of, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, a window period under the Policy, but in no event beyond the expiration date of the Options or SARs. The Committee shall interpret and apply the extension automatically provided by the preceding sentence to ensure when possible without extending the exercise period beyond the expiration date that in no event shall the term of any Option or SAR expire except during a window period.

12.7 Agreements with Company . An Award under the Plan shall be subject to such terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the Plan (other than in the case of Adjusted Awards), as the Committee may, in its sole discretion, prescribe. Each grant of an Award to a Participant shall be evidenced by an Agreement in such form as is determined by the Committee (or, subject to applicable law, its designee pursuant to Section 4.4 ) setting forth the terms and conditions of such Award.

12.8 Company Intent . The Company intends that the Plan and any grants hereunder comply in all respects with Rule 16b-3 under the Act, and any ambiguities or inconsistencies in the construction of the Plan or Agreements shall be interpreted to give effect to such intention.

12.9 Unfunded Plan . The Plan shall be unfunded. Bookkeeping accounts may be established with respect to Participants who are granted Awards under the Plan, but any such accounts will be used merely as a bookkeeping convenience. The Company shall not be required to segregate any assets which may at any time be represented by Awards.

12.10 Fractional Shares . The Company shall not be required to issue any fractional shares of Stock pursuant to the Plan. The Committee may provide for the elimination of fractions or for the settlement thereof in cash.

12.11 Code Section 409A . Unless the Committee expressly determines otherwise, Awards are intended to be exempt from Code Section 409A as stock rights or short-term deferrals and, accordingly, the terms of any Awards shall be construed and administered to preserve such exemption (including with respect to the time of payment following a Change of Control). To the extent that Code Section 409A applies to a particular Award granted under the Plan (notwithstanding the preceding sentence), then the terms of the Award shall be construed and administered to permit the Award to comply with Code Section 409A, including, if necessary, by delaying the payment of any Award payable upon separation from service to a Participant who is a "specified employee" (as defined in Code Section 409A and determined consistently for all Company arrangements that are subject to Code Section 409A), for a period of six months and one day

after such Participant's separation from service (as defined in Code Section 409A, but treating the Company as constituting a single service recipient unless the Committee timely provides otherwise). In the event anyone is subject to income inclusion, additional interest or taxes, or any other adverse consequences under Code Section 409A (" Non-compliance "), then neither the Company, the Committee, the Board nor its or their employees, designees, agents or contractors shall be liable to any Participant or other persons in connection with any Non-compliance.

12.12 Requirements of Law . The granting of Awards and the issuance of shares of Stock shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or securities exchanges as may be required. Each Award is subject to the requirement that, if at any time the Committee determines, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of shares of Stock issuable pursuant to the Plan is required by any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the grant of an Award or the issuance of Stock, no Awards shall be granted or payment made or shares of Stock issued, in whole or in part, unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval has been effected or obtained free of any conditions as acceptable to the Committee.

12.13 Effective Date/Termination . The Plan will be effective as of the Effective Date. No Award shall be granted under the Plan on or after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date, or such earlier date as may be determined by the Board, but all grants made prior to such date will continue in effect thereafter subject to the terms thereof and of the Plan. No termination of the Plan shall adversely affect any Award previously granted.

12.14 Governing Law . The Plan, and all Agreements hereunder, shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.

Appendix B Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to Reported Amounts

Adjusted EBITDA including unconsolidated joint ventures is considered a non-GAAP financial measure. This non-GAAP financial measure should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP financial measure may differ from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies, and other companies may not define this non-GAAP financial measure the same way. This measure is not a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures, such as net income (loss), and there are limitations to using non-GAAP financial measures.

The following table reconciles net income to Adjusted EBITDA including unconsolidated joint ventures.
