Item 2.06 Material Impairments.

As previously announced on June 30, 2015, ConAgra Foods, Inc. (the "Company") is pursuing the divestiture of its Private Brands operations. On August 7, 2015, management of the Company determined that assets related to the Private Brands segment are required to be classified as assets held for sale. As a result of this determination and preliminary indications of interest from potential buyers, management of the Company concluded that the assets held for sale are impaired. The Company is unable at this time to estimate in good faith the amount of the impairment charges related to the Private Brands assets. In addition, the Company is unable at this time to determine the size or impact of income tax consequences related to the transaction, including the extent to which the Company will be able to recognize any or all of the income tax benefits expected to be generated from the transaction. The Company expects to file an amended Current Report on Form 8-K under this Item 2.06 within four business days after the date upon which it makes a determination of an estimate or range of estimates for any such impairment charge and related tax impacts.
