ABOUT KELLOGG COMPANY

Kellogg Company is the world’s leading producer of cereal, second largest producer of cookies and crackers, and a leading producer of savory snacks and frozen foods. Additional product offerings include toaster pastries, cereal bars, fruit-flavored snacks and veggie foods. Kellogg products are manufactured and marketed globally.

Kellogg’s principal products are ready-to-eat cereals and convenience foods, such as cookies, crackers, savory snacks, toaster pastries, cereal bars, fruit-flavored snacks, frozen waffles and veggie foods. Kellogg’s cereal products are generally marketed under the Kellogg’s name and are sold to the grocery trade through direct sales forces for resale to consumers. We use broker and distributor arrangements for certain products. We also market cookies, crackers, crisps, and other convenience foods, under brands such as Kellogg’s, Keebler, Pringles, Cheez-It, Murray, Austin and Famous Amos, to supermarkets in the United States through a direct store-door (DSD) delivery system, although other distribution methods are also used. We also generally use these, or similar arrangements, in less- developed market areas or in those market areas outside of our focus.

Kellogg Company was incorporated in Delaware in 1922. Our principal executive offices are located at One Kellogg Square, P.O. Box 3599, Battle Creek, Michigan 49016-3599 and our telephone number is

DIRECT REGISTRATION

We are a participant in the Direct Registration System (“DRS”). DRS is a method of recording shares of stock in book-entry form. Book-entry means that your shares are registered in your name on our books without the need for physical certificates and are held separately from any plan shares you may own. Shares held in book-entry have all the traditional rights and privileges as shares held in certificate form. With DRS you can:


•	eliminate the risk and cost of storing certificates in a secure place;


•	eliminate the cost associated with replacing lost, stolen, or destroyed certificates; and


•	move shares electronically to a broker or to other registered accounts.

You may convert any stock certificate(s) you are currently holding into book-entry form by sending the stock certificate(s) to Kellogg Shareowner Services with a request to deposit them to your DRS account or your Kellogg Direct plan account. There is no cost to you for this custodial service and by doing so you will be relieved of the responsibility for loss or theft of your certificate(s). Your certificate(s) should not be endorsed, and we recommend

sending your certificate(s) registered insured mail for 3% of the current market value of the shares. (See optional mail loss below.)

You may choose to have a portion or all of your book-entry or plan shares delivered directly to your broker by contacting your broker/dealer. When using your broker to facilitate a share movement, please provide them with a copy of your DRS account statement.


1.	What is Kellogg Direct?

ABOUT THE PLAN

Kellogg Direct is a direct stock purchase and dividend reinvestment plan (the “plan”) that enables new investors to make an initial investment in our common stock and existing investors to increase their holdings of our common stock. Participants can purchase our common stock with optional cash investments and cash dividends.


2.	What features does the plan offer?


•	Initial investment / Enrollment. If you are not currently a shareowner, you can make an initial investment in our common stock, starting with as little as $50.


•	Optional cash investments. You can increase your holdings of our common stock through additional optional cash investments of $25 or more. You can conduct easy recurring or periodic investments, by automatic bank debit or by sending in a check from your bank checking or savings account.


•	Automatic dividend reinvestment. You can also increase your holdings of our common stock through automatic reinvestment of your cash dividends. You can elect to reinvest all or a percentage of your dividends.


•	Automated transactions. You can execute many of your plan transactions online at shareholder.broadridge.com/k or by phone


•	Share safekeeping. You can deposit your common stock certificates for safekeeping by the Plan Administrator.

Refer to the Investment Summary and Fees below for details on fees charged for these transactions and services.


3.	How do I enroll in Kellogg Direct if I am a Kellogg Company shareowner?

If you are a Kellogg Company shareowner of record - that is, your shares are registered in your name, not your broker’s or bank’s name - you can enroll online or by completing and returning the Enrollment Form.


4.	How do I enroll if I am not currently a Kellogg Company shareowner?

If you do not currently have any Kellogg Company common stock registered in your name, you can enroll online at shareholder.broadridge.com/k or by completing and returning the Enrollment Form. When you enroll, you will be required to make an initial investment. If making your initial investment by check, the check for your initial investment and account set-up fee should be made payable to “Broadridge” in United States funds drawn on a United States financial institution. You will receive an account statement approximately two weeks after the Plan Administrator receives your Enrollment Form, initial investment and enrollment fee.


5.	How do I enroll if my shares are held other than in my name?

If your Kellogg Company shares are registered in the name of a bank, broker or other nominee, simply arrange for the bank, broker or other nominee to register in your name the number of shares of our common stock that you want to include in the plan. You can then enroll as a shareowner of record, as described above. Once the

Plan Administrator receives your transferred shares from your brokerage account, you will receive an account statement. Alternatively, if you do not want to re-register your shares, you can enroll in the plan in the same way as someone who is not currently a Kellogg Company shareowner, as described above. This will create a registered account in addition to your brokerage/bank account.

6.	What are my options for additional cash investments?

You can make optional cash investments at any time by check or by automatic bank withdrawals from a qualified financial institution. Each investment, except as indicated below, can be for as little as $25. Your total investment for any calendar year is limited to $100,000.

Check. If you are not currently a registered shareowner of our common stock, you may make your initial investment via check. The minimum investment amount is $50 plus the $15 account set-up fee.

To make an investment by check, complete and return an Enrollment Form, Purchase and Sales coupon (attached to your quarterly account statement) together with your payment. Your check must be made payable to “Broadridge” in United States funds, and drawn on a United States financial institution. The Plan Administrator must receive your payment at least two business days prior to an investment date; otherwise, your payment will be invested on the next investment date. No interest is paid on your payment pending its investment in our common stock.

Automatic Withdrawal - One Time. If you are not currently a registered shareowner of our common stock, you may make your initial investment via a one time, automatic withdrawal from a designated United States financial institution. The minimum investment amount is $50 plus the account set-up fee. To authorize a one-time automatic withdrawal, complete Section 5 of the Enrollment Form and return it to the Plan Administrator with a voided blank check for a checking account or a deposit slip for a savings account. This automatic withdrawal will be processed as soon as administratively possible after the Plan Administrator receives your completed form.

Automatic Withdrawal - Recurring Monthly or Semi-Monthly. You can also make investments monthly or semi- monthly automatic withdrawal from a designated United States financial institution. Your account will be debited on or about the 10th and/or the 24th day of each month or, if that day is not a business day, the next business day. The funds will be invested on the next investment date after your account is debited and the funds have cleared. To authorize automatic investments, complete Section 5 of the Enrollment Form and return it to the Plan Administrator with a voided blank check for a checking account or a deposit slip for a savings account. If you have established automated privileges, you can also authorize automatic investments online. Your automatic investment will begin as soon as administratively possible after the Plan Administrator receives your completed form.

You can change the amount of your automatic investment or stop your automatic investment altogether by completing an Enrollment Form and returning it to the Plan Administrator or, if you have established automated privileges, by going online. Your change or termination request must be received by the Plan Administrator at least 15 business days prior to an investment date for the change to be effective for that investment date.

As an added security measure, Broadridge may apply a five business day hold period to the initial association of banking account information to an investor account as well as changes made to established direct deposit or direct debit instructions.

See below for a discussion of optional cash investment dates.

No interest is paid on your payment pending its investment in our common stock. If any optional cash investment, whether by check or automatic withdrawal, is returned for any reason, the Plan Administrator will remove from the participant’s account any shares purchased upon prior credit of such funds, and will sell these shares. The Plan Administrator may sell other shares in the account to cover a returned funds fee for each optional cash investment returned unpaid for any reason and may sell additional shares as necessary to cover any market loss incurred by the Plan Administrator.


7.	What are my dividend reinvestment options?

The reinvestment option you elect will apply to all of your shares of Kellogg Company common stock - whether held in certificate form, in direct registration shares (“DRS”) or in the plan.

•

Full Dividend Reinvestment. All cash dividends payable on shares held in the Plan, along with any shares held in physical certificate form or through book-entry DRS, will be used to purchase additional shares. The participant will not receive cash dividends from Kellogg Company; instead, all dividends will be reinvested. Whole and fractional shares will be allocated to the Plan account. Partial Dividend Reinvestment. A participant may elect to reinvest a portion of the dividend and receive the remainder in cash. The percentage elected will be applied to the total shares held in the Plan, along with any shares held in physical certificate form or held through book-entry DRS. A participant may elect percentages from 1%-99%, in increments of 1%. The cash portion of dividends will be sent by check unless the participant has elected to have those dividends deposited directly to a designated bank account. (RX)


•	An example of partial reinvestment by percentage: A participant has a total of 150 shares; 120 shares are held in the Plan, 15 in physical certificate form and 15 shares in book entry DRS. The participant chooses to have 50% of the total dividend reinvested. This will equate to 75 shares having dividends reinvested and 75 shares having dividends paid in cash.


•	No Dividend Reinvestment. All dividends payable to the participant will be paid in cash. This includes the dividend payable on all shares held in the Plan, any shares held in physical certificate form or held through book-entry DRS. The participant’s dividend payment will be sent by check unless the participant has elected to have those dividends deposited directly to a designated bank account.

You may change your reinvestment option at any time by going online at shareholder.broadridge.com/k or sending written notice to the Plan Administrator by mail. Notices received at least five business days prior to a dividend record date may be effective for that cash dividend. Notices received after a dividend record date may not be effective until after that cash dividend has been paid.


8.	When are dividends paid?

Historically, Kellogg Company has paid dividends on the fifteenth day of March, June, September and December to shareowners of record on the first day of March, June, September and December, respectively. The dividend payment date and dividend record date may change in the future. To have your cash dividends reinvested, the Plan Administrator must receive your Enrollment Form authorizing dividend reinvestment at least five business days prior to the dividend record date.

The payment of dividends on our common stock is at the discretion of Kellogg Company’s Board of Directors. There is no guarantee that Kellogg Company will pay dividends in the future. The timing and amount of future dividends, if any, will depend on earnings, cash requirements, the financial condition of Kellogg Company and its subsidiaries, applicable government regulations and other factors deemed relevant by the Kellogg Company Board of Directors.


9.	When does the Plan Administrator purchase shares?

Optional Cash Investments. Optional cash investments are made on:


•	generally within five (5) trading days from receipt of your investment amount or, if the New York Stock Exchange is not open, the next business day the Exchange is open and no later than 35 trading days, except where postponement is necessary to comply with Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or other applicable provisions of securities law, or


•	in any week in which a cash dividend is paid, the dividend payment date or, if the New York Stock Exchange is not open on the dividend payment date, the next business day the Exchange is open.

Dividend Reinvestment. Cash dividends are reinvested on the applicable dividend payment date or, if the New York Stock Exchange is not open on the dividend payment date, the next business day the Exchange is open and no later than 30 trading days, following the dividend payable date.

Shares are purchased and sold for the plan on specified dates or during specified periods. As a result, you do not have any control over the price at which shares are purchased or sold for your account, and you may pay a higher purchase price or receive a lower sales price then if you had purchased or sold the shares outside of the

plan. You bear the risk of fluctuations in the price of our common stock. No interest is paid on funds held by the Plan Administrator pending their investment. All optional cash investments, including the initial cash investment, are subject to collection by the Plan Administrator of the full face value in United States funds.


10.	How does the Plan Administrator buy the shares?

The Plan Administrator may purchase our common stock from Kellogg Company or use an independent agent to buy the shares in the open market or in negotiated transactions. Kellogg Company will determine the method. The Plan Administrator currently purchases plan shares from us, but we can change this at any time without notice to you, subject to legal restrictions on how often we change the method. The method used by the Plan Administrator will impact the price at which your shares are purchased (see below).


11.	At what price will the Plan Administrator purchase the shares?

Open Market Purchases. If the shares are purchased in the open market or in a negotiated transaction, your purchase price will be the weighted average purchase price per share for all shares purchased for that investment date. The independent agent purchases shares as soon as administratively possible, and in no event more than 5 business days, after the applicable investment date.

Purchases from Kellogg Company. If the shares are purchased from Kellogg Company, your purchase price will be the closing price of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange for that investment date. If the New York Stock

Exchange is closed on that date, then the price will be the closing price of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange for the next business day the Exchange is open.

The Plan Administrator may commingle your funds with those of other participants for purposes of forwarding purchase orders to the independent agent. Also, the Plan Administrator may offset purchase and sale orders for the same investment date, forwarding to the independent agent the net purchase or sale requirement. Because the prices at which shares are purchased under the plan are beyond your control, you may lose any advantage otherwise available from being able to select the timing of your investment.


12.	May I execute plan transactions by phone?

If you have established automated privileges for your account, you can perform the following transactions by calling the Plan Administrator:


•	sell some or all of the shares of our common stock credited to your account under the plan;


•	request a physical certificate for some or all of the whole shares of our common stock credited to your account under the plan; or

•terminate your participation in the plan via sale . Certain restriction may apply.

Account assistance and information about the plan is available by calling the Plan Administrator.


13.	May I enroll, view my account information and execute transactions online?

The Plan Administrator maintains a web site at shareholder.broadridge.com/k that allows you to enroll online; to view your account balance, recent plan transactions and other helpful information; and to update your personal information.

The Plan Administrator will send you an account statement as soon as administratively possible after each quarterly dividend reinvestment and after each optional cash investment. The Plan Administrator will also send you an account statement after any transfer, sale or withdrawal of plan shares.

Account statements provide participants with records of their purchases and sales and other important information and should be retained for tax purposes.


15.	Will I receive stock certificates for my plan shares?

Each share purchase is credited to your plan account. Your account statement will show the number of shares of our common stock, including any fractional share, credited to your account. You will not receive a certificate for your plan shares unless you request one., you can request a certificate for some or all of your whole shares by calling the Plan Administrator at

1-877-910-5385., you can request a certificate by submitting your request in writing to the Plan Administrator. Certificates for fractional shares are never issued.


16.	Can I deposit share certificates for safekeeping?

You can at any time, including when you first enroll, deposit Kellogg Company common stock certificates registered in your name with the Plan Administrator for safekeeping, at no cost to you. To use this service, you must send your certificates to the Plan Administrator with a properly completed Legal Transfer Form and Enrollment From. Shares represented by certificates that you deposit with the Plan Administrator are credited to your account and thereafter are treated as if acquired under the plan. You are responsible for maintaining your own records of the cost basis of certificated shares deposited with the Plan Administrator. If your shares are registered in street or other nominee name, you may be able to electronically transfer these shares from your existing account to a plan account. To take advantage of this service, please contact the Plan Administrator by phone at 1-877-910-5385.

Please do not endorse your certificates. You are strongly urged to send your certificates by certified or registered mail, insuring them for 2% of the current market value of the common stock represented by the certificates. Regardless of the method used, you bear the full risk of loss if the certificates are lost or stolen.


17.	Can I transfer my plan shares to someone else?

You can transfer your plan shares to a Kellogg Direct plan account of another person, subject to compliance with any applicable laws. If the person to whom the shares are gifted or transferred is not a plan participant, the Plan Administrator will automatically open an account for the person. If the recipient is a minor, you may set yourself up as the custodian of the account. To transfer shares to someone not already participating in the Kellogg Direct plan, simply execute a Legal Transfer Form and return it to the Plan Administrator. Your signature on the Legal Transfer Form must be Medallion guaranteed by an eligible financial institution or broker. You can obtain a Legal Transfer Form by calling the Plan Administrator at 1-877-910-5385 or from shareholder.broadridge.com/k within the “Need a Form” section, select “Legal Transfer Form” from the drop down. If you request to transfer all shares in your plan account between a dividend record date and payable date, your transfer request will be processed but your plan account will not be terminated. You may receive additional dividend reinvestment shares which will require you to submit a written request to transfer the additional shares.

You cannot pledge or grant a security interest in your plan shares or transfer your plan shares outside of the plan unless certificates representing the shares have been issued by the Plan Administrator, or you request your plan shares be converted to DRS.


18.	How do I sell my plan shares?

Sales are usually made through an affiliated broker, who will receive brokerage commissions. Typically, the shares are sold through the exchange on which the common shares of Kellogg Company are traded. Depending on the number of Kellogg Company shares to be sold and current trading volume, sale transactions may be completed in multiple transactions and over the course of more than one day. All sales are subject to market conditions, system availability, restrictions and other factors. The actual sale date, time or price received for any shares sold through the plan cannot be guaranteed.

Participants may instruct the Plan Administrator to sell shares under the plan through a Batch Order, Market Order or Day Limit Order All sales options may not be available at all times and options are currently pending availability at the administrator.

Batch Order (online, telephone, mail) - The Plan Administrator will combine each request to sell through the plan with other plan participant sale requests for a Batch Order. Shares are then periodically submitted in bulk to a broker for sale on the open market. Shares will be sold no later than five business days (except where deferral is necessary under state or federal regulations). Bulk sales may be executed in multiple transactions and over more than one day depending on the number of shares being sold and current trading volumes. Once entered, a Batch Order request cannot be canceled.

Market Order (as available online or telephone) - The participant’s request to sell shares in a Market Order will be at the prevailing market price when the trade is executed. If such an order is placed during market hours, the Plan Administrator will promptly submit the shares to a broker for sale on the open market. Once entered, a Market Order request cannot be canceled. Sales requests submitted near the close of the market may be executed on the next trading day, along with other requests received after market close.

Day Limit Order (as available online or telephone) - The participant’s request to sell shares in a Day Limit Order will be promptly submitted by the Plan Administrator to a broker. The broker will execute as a Market Order when and if the stock reaches, or exceeds the specified price on the day the order was placed (for orders placed outside of market hours, the next trading day). The order is automatically canceled if the price is not met by the end of that trading day. Depending on the

number of shares being sold and current trading volumes, the order may only be partially filled and the remainder of the order canceled. Once entered, a Day Limit Order request cannot be canceled by the participant.

A check for the proceeds of the sale of shares (in U.S. dollars), less applicable taxes and fees, will generally be mailed by first class mail four business days after trade date. If a participant submits a request to sell all or part of the plan shares, and the participant requests net proceeds to be automatically deposited to a checking or savings account, the participant must provide a voided blank check for a checking account or blank savings deposit slip for a savings account. If the participant is unable to provide a voided check or deposit slip, the participant’s written request must be signed by an authorized signer an eligible financial institution for direct deposit. Requests for automatic deposit of sale proceeds that do not provide the required documentation will not be processed and a check for the net proceeds will be issued.

As an added security measure, Broadridge may apply a five business day hold period to the initial association of banking account information to investor accounts as well as change made to established direct deposit or direct debit instructions. A participant who wishes to sell shares currently held in certificate form may send them in for deposit to the Plan Administrator and then proceed with the sale. To sell shares through a broker of their choice, the participant may request the broker to transfer shares electronically from the plan account to their brokerage account. Alternatively, a stock certificate can be requested that the participant can deliver to their broker.

Kellogg Company’s share price may fluctuate between the time the sale request is received and the time the sale is completed on the open market. The Plan Administrator shall not be liable for any claim arising out of failure to sell on a certain date or at a specific price. Neither the Plan Administrator nor any of its affiliates will provide any investment recommendations or investment advice with respect to transactions made through the plan. This risk should be evaluated by the participant and is a risk that is borne solely by the participant.

The Insider Trading Policy provides that the participant may not trade in Kellogg Company’s common stock if in possession of material, non-public information about the company. Share sales by employees, Affiliates and Section 16 officers must be made in compliance with Kellogg Company’s Insider Trading Policy.


19.	How do I close my plan account?

You can close your plan account by completing and returning a Legal Transfer Form or by sending a written request to the Plan Administrator that includes the name of the plan, Kellogg Direct, and your account number. If you have previously established automated privileges, you can terminate your participation in the plan via sale by contacting the Plan Administrator by phone at 1-877-910-5385. If you have authorized automatic withdrawals, the Plan Administrator must receive your request at least 15 business days before the next scheduled investment date to ensure that the request is effective for that investment date. If your request to terminate from the plan is received on or after a dividend record date but before the dividend payment date, your termination will be processed as soon as administratively possible, and a separate dividend check will be mailed to you.

Upon termination of your participation in the plan, unless you request on a Legal Transfer Form that some or all of your plan shares are to be sold; the Plan Administrator will convert your full plan shares into direct registration and issue you a check, minus brokerage commissions and transaction fees, for any fractional share. If you request on the independent agent will sell some or all of your plan shares on your behalf. The Plan Administrator convert any whole plan shares not sold into direct registration and after settlement of the sale, the Plan Administrator will send you a check in the amount of the net proceeds of the sale (plus the market value of any fractional plan share). See above for a discussion of how plan shares are sold and for a discussion of brokerage commissions and transaction fees.

After termination, you can re-enroll in the plan online or by submitting an Enrollment Form and complying with all other enrollment procedures. To minimize unnecessary plan administrative costs and to encourage use of the plan as a long-term investment vehicle, Kellogg Company reserves the right to deny participation in the plan to previous participants who Kellogg Company or the Plan Administrator believes have been excessive in their enrollment and termination.


20.	Who is the Plan Administrator and what does the Plan Administrator do?

22.	What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of participating in the plan?

The following is a brief summary of some of the principal U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable as of the date of this prospectus to participation in Kellogg Direct.

In general, participants in the plan will have the same U.S. federal income tax consequences with respect to dividends as shareowners not participating in the plan. You will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as having received on each dividend payment date, with respect to shares of Kellogg Company common stock held for you, a dividend equal to the full amount of the cash dividends payable on both the shares of our common stock registered in your own name and the Kellogg Company common stock held through the plan, even though the amount of dividends reinvested is not actually received in cash but is instead applied to the purchase of our common stock for your account under the plan. In addition, the Internal Revenue Service has ruled that the amount of brokerage commissions paid by us on your behalf (where plan common stock is purchased on the open market) is to be treated as a distribution to you which is subject to income tax in the same manner as dividends. The sum of those amounts becomes your cost basis for those shares of our common stock.

Your statement of account under the plan will show the price per share to you of our common stock purchased with reinvested dividends. That price is the federal income tax cost basis to you of shares of our common stock acquired under the plan. Your statement of account will also show the date on which the shares of common stock purchased under the plan were credited to your account. Your holding period for our common stock purchased under the plan generally will begin on the date following the date on which those shares of our common stock are credited to your plan account.

Information forms (Forms 1099-DIV) will be mailed to plan participants each year and will set forth the taxable dividends and brokerage commissions reportable for U.S. federal income tax purposes. These dividends and brokerage commissions must be reported on your federal income tax return.

Reinvested dividends are not subject to withholding unless (1) you fail to give your social security or tax identifi- cation number to us, (2) the Internal Revenue Service notifies us that you are subject to tax withholding, or

(3) you fail to certify, under penalties of perjury, that you are not subject to backup withholding if such certification is required. If you are a shareholder whose dividends are subject to tax withholding, we will apply toward the purchase of our common stock under the plan an amount equal to the dividends being reinvested less the amount of tax required to be withheld. Your statement of account under the plan will indicate the amount of tax withheld.

You will not recognize any taxable income upon receipt of a certificate for whole shares of common stock credited to your account under the plan, whether upon request for such a certificate, upon termination of your participation in the plan or upon termination of the plan. However, you may recognize a gain or loss upon receipt of a cash payment for whole shares of Kellogg Company common stock or a fractional common share credited to your account under the plan when that account is terminated by you, when shares of our common stock credited to your account under the plan are sold or when the plan is terminated. A gain or loss may also be recognized upon your disposition of the Kellogg Company common stock received from the plan. The amount of any such gain or loss will be the difference between the amount received for the whole or fractional shares of our common stock and the cost basis of the Kellogg Company common stock. Generally, gain or loss recognized on the disposition of shares of our common stock acquired under the plan will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if, as of the date of such disposition, the holding period with respect to the shares of Kellogg Company common stock sold exceeds one year.

This plan assumes that each participant will use the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method when determining the tax basis of any shares sold. Participants may designate their preference for a different method of determining the tax basis of shares by identifying this preference in writing to the Plan Administrator. Participants may designate their preference for specific identification cost basis at any time.

If you are a Non-Resident Alien (“NRA”) individual and you do not provide a valid Form W-8BEN to certify your foreign tax residency, you will be subject to withholding on all payments reportable on an IRS Form 1099 or Form 1042-s, as applicable, at the current backup withholding rate of 28% or the normal withholding rate of 30% (or lesser tax treaty rate if applicable), respectively. Effective for accounts opened on or after January 1, 2015, if you are any non-individual entity and you do not provide either a type of Form W-8 (for foreign entities, a Form W-8BEN-E, W-8EXP, W-8ECI or W-8IMY) or Form W-9 (for U.S. entities), you will be subject to 30% withholding on all U.S. sourced dividends and interest as required by the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”). Similar FATCA withholding on gross proceeds received from the sale, maturity or exchange of securities that can produce U.S. sourced dividends or interest will take effect on January 1, 2017. In particular, foreign entities should consult with their internal tax advisors or counsel as to which type of Form W-8 they should provide based on their status under Chapters 3 and 4 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.

The discussion above is a summary of the important United States federal income tax consequences of your participation in the plan. The summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, United States Treasury Regulations, administrative rulings and court decisions, in effect as of the date of this prospectus, all of which are subject to change at any time, possibly with retroactive effect. This summary is not a complete description of all of the tax consequences of your participation in the plan. For example, it does not address any state, local or foreign tax consequences of your participation. You should consult your own tax advisor about the tax consequences of your participation in the plan.

OTHER PLAN INFORMATION

Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. Stock dividends or split shares issued by Kellogg Company on plan shares are credited to your account. Stock dividends or split shares issued with respect to your certificated or direct registration shares are handled in the same manner as for shareowners who are not participating in the plan. Cash dividends paid on the shares issued as stock dividends or stock splits are processed in accordance with the dividend reinvestment option then elected.

Dividend and Voting Rights. Dividend and voting rights of shares purchased under the plan commence upon settlement of the transaction, which normally is three business days after purchase. Shares purchased on or within two business days prior to a dividend record date are considered “ex-dividend” and therefore not entitled to payment of that dividend.

Voting of Plan Shares. Each shareholder entitled to vote at a meeting of shareowners is sent either a notice containing instructions on how to access our proxy statement and our annual report online or a printed copy of our proxy materials before the meeting. You are encouraged to read the proxy statement carefully. You may vote online, by phone or by returning the signed, dated proxy material. The proxies will vote the shares in accordance with your instructions.

Limitation of Liability. In administering the plan, neither Kellogg Company, the Plan Administrator nor any broker/dealer selected by the Plan Administrator to execute purchases and sales on behalf of plan participants will be liable for any good faith act or good faith omission to act, including but not limited to any claim of liability

(1)arising out of the failure to terminate a participant’s account upon such participant’s death prior to receipt of a notice in writing of such death from a duly authorized representative of the estate, (2) with respect to the prices or times at which our common stock is purchased or sold, or (3) as to the value of the Kellogg Company common stock acquired for participants.

The Plan Administrator is acting solely as the agent of Kellogg Company and owes no duties, fiduciary or otherwise, to any other person by reason of the plan, and no implied duties, fiduciary or otherwise, will be read into the status of the Plan Administrator under the plan. The Plan Administrator undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are expressly described in this prospectus to be performed by it, and no implied covenants or obligations will be read into the plan against the Plan Administrator or Kellogg Company.

In the absence of negligence or willful misconduct on its part, the Plan Administrator, whether acting directly or through agents or attorneys, will not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted, or for any error of judgment made by it, in the performance of its duties under the plan. In no event will the Plan Administrator be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profit), even if the Plan Administrator has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

The Plan Administrator will not be required to make and will make no representations and have no responsibilities as to the validity, accuracy, value or genuineness of any signatures or endorsements, other than its own. In addition, the Plan Administrator will not be obligated to take any legal action under the plan that might, in its judgment, involve any expense or liability, unless it has been furnished with reasonable indemnity.

The Plan Administrator will not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under the plan arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God; earthquakes; fires; floods; wars; civil or military disturbances; sabotage; epidemics; riots; interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communications services; accidents; labor disputes; acts of civil or military authority or governmental actions; it being understood that the Plan Administrator will use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as administratively possible

under the circumstances.

The Plan Administrator is authorized to choose a registered broker/dealer, including a broker/dealer affiliated with the Plan Administrator, at its sole discretion to facilitate purchases and sales of our common stock by plan participants. The Plan Administrator will furnish the name of the registered broker/dealer, including any affiliated broker/dealer, utilized in common share transactions within a reasonable time upon written request from a plan participant.

Modification or Termination of the Plan. Kellogg Company can suspend, modify or terminate the plan at any time in whole or in part or with respect to participants in certain jurisdictions. Notice of any suspension, material modification or termination will be sent to all affected participants.

Denial or Termination of Participation by Kellogg Company. The Plan Administrator may terminate a participant’s participation in the plan if the participant does not own at least one full share in the participant’s name or held through the plan. Kellogg Company also reserves the right to deny, modify, suspend or terminate participation in the plan by otherwise eligible persons to the extent Kellogg Company deems it advisable or necessary in its discretion to comply with applicable laws or to eliminate practices that are not consistent with the purposes of the plan. Participants whose participation in the plan is terminated will have their full plan shares converted to direct registration and will receive a check less any service fees and broker commissions for any fractional plan share.
