3.20.2020 Supplier Update

In these unprecedented times, UNFI has taken several steps to adapt to the incredible increase in
customer demand while protecting the safety of our associates. We continue to follow all CDC and
government recommendations to help slow the spread of COVID-19. We are keeping our eyes on the
rapidly evolving landscape in the hopes of truly being great partners and doing what’s right. In that
spirit, here are some updates.

Showcases
Many of you are aware that we had planned on replacing our in person selling shows in Sacramento, CA and Portland, OR with online ordering events. Given the evolving situation, we have made the decision to postpone these virtual shows. Our retailers need our support more than ever, and their priorities are our top consideration. If a better time is found to host a virtual show, we will be sure to communicate that directly. Our team will be reaching out to exhibitors to provide full refunds. Thank you for your understanding.

Accounts Payable
Most of our corporate associates in all office locations began working remotely this week, including our Accounts Payable team. We feel this is the best approach to ensure continued operations and keep everyone healthy. We are doing everything we can to stay connected to our colleagues and our
business partners. To that end, please see this listing of UNFI primary and secondary Accounts
Payable contacts. Do not hesitate to reach out if there is anything you need. We ask that you exhibit
patience and understanding if we are a little slow getting back to you.

On behalf of everyone at UNFI, thank you for your partnership and help to ensure that our retailers
continue meeting consumer needs during this time of unprecedented demand. Thank you.
