Nomad Foods Limited
One of Europe's largest frozen food companies, Nomad Foods owns the Birds Eye, Iglo, Findus, Ledo, and Frikom brands, selling fish fingers, vegetables, and other frozen meals across dozens of European markets. It was born in 2015 when the investment vehicle Nomad Holdings, founded by Noam Gottesman and Martin E. Franklin, bought the Iglo Group. The Birds Eye name traces to Clarence Birdseye, who invented quick-freezing after watching Inuit fishermen flash-freeze fish in the Arctic.
On February 24, 2026, Gottesman notified the TOMS Reporting Persons that the Amended and Restated Irrevocable Proxy Agreement, dated as of January 6, 2021, by and among Gottesman, Weltsch, San Miguel, Patel, and Lavender (the "Proxy Agreement"), previously filed as Exhibit D to Amendment No. 4 to the Statement filed on January 6, 2021 was terminated effective immediately (the "Termination Letter"). Pursuant to the Proxy Agreement, Gottesman had the power to vote the TOMS Reporting Persons' Ordinary Shares, which were held by certain employees or trusts established by those employees of TOMS Capital LLC, Gottesman's family office ("TOMS Capital"). As a result of the termination of the Proxy Agreement, (i) Gottesman no longer has beneficial ownership of the Ordinary Shares owned by the TOMS Reporting Persons and (ii) Gottesman and the TOMS Reporting Persons shall no longer be considered a "group" for purposes of Section 13(d) under the Exchange Act. Additionally, subsequent to the last amendment, the Ordinary Shares directly held by TOMS Acquisition were distributed to the TOMS Reporting Persons and other employees of TOMS Capital for no consideration.
