Remarks:
On June 28, 2012, The Hillshire Brands Company (formerly named Sara Lee Corporation) completed (i) the spin-off of its international coffee and tea business, and (ii) a 1-for-5 reverse stock split of its common stock.  In the Form 4 as originally filed, the amounts reported for the "Securities Acquired" and "Price" reflected the 1-for-5 reverse stock split, but the amounts reported in the "Amount of Securities Beneficially Owned Following Reported Transactions" did not reflect the reverse split.  This filing amends the "Amount of Securities Beneficially Owned Following Reported Transactions" to reflect the 1-for-5 reverse stock split.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure.

Potential persons who are to respond to the collection of information contained in this form are not required to respond unless the form displays a currently valid OMB number.
