The price reported in Column 4 is a weighted average price. These shares were sold in multiple transactions at prices ranging from $16.85 to $16.95, inclusive. The reporting person undertakes to provide to Smithfield Foods, Inc., any security holder of Smithfield Foods, Inc., or the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, upon request, full information regarding the number of shares sold at each separate price within the range set forth in footnote (1) to this Form 4.
On December 23, 2009 the Reporting Person timely filed a Form 4 disclosing a sale of 250,000 the Issuer's shares. The Form 4 listed the shares as having been sold from the Reporting Person's direct holdings when in fact the shares had been sold from the Reporting Person's indirect holdings (from a trust for his daughter). The numbers in column 5 to this Form 4 have been adjusted accordingly.
