Kellogg Foundation (the "Foundation") are used exclusively for those charitable purposes set forth in the Articles of Association of the Foundation. In order for the Foundation to remain eligible to receive distributions from the Trust, the Foundation is required to comply with a number of conditions. These conditions include submission of reports and a prohibition against diversion of the funds of the Foundation for any other purpose other than charitable. The Trustees of the Foundation meet at least monthly and submit to the Trustees of the Trust a copy of the minutes of each meeting of the Trustees together with copies of the minutes of the committees of the Board of Trustees and bi-monthly reports of the President, Secretary and Treasurer of the Foundation. The Foundation also submits to the Trustees of the Trust an annual audit and an annual report, and has submitted a report dated January 17, 2017, including attachments, further detailing its redistribution of amounts received from the Trust. These reports, collectively, reflect the expenditure by the Foundation exclusively for its charitable purposes of all funds received by it from the Trust. As of August 31, 2016, the Foundation has expended all funds received by it from the Trust for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2015, and has expended $231,292,073 of the funds received by it from the Trust during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2016.

To the knowledge of the Trustees of the Trust, there has been no diversion of any portion of the funds paid from the Trust to the Foundation from the charitable purposes specified for such funds. |
| Reduction claimed for blockage | Form 990-PF, Part X, Line 1e | During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2016 the W.K. Kellogg Foundation Trust ("Trust") owned in excess of 68 million shares of the common stock of Kellogg Company (the "Company") with a monthly average total value of shares held for the Trust&aposs tax year of approximately $5.2 billion before blockage discount. The percentage of outstanding common stock of the Company which the Trust held during the fiscal year amounted to approximately 20%. The fair market value of the stock before any reduction and the amount of discount (in connection with application of the maximum 10% provided in Section 4942(e)(2)(b) of the Internal Revenue Code) is supported by an independent valuation from William Blair & Company, LLC dated October 14, 2016. The claimed discount is appropriate in valuing the Trust&aposs shares in the Company because the shares do not represent voting control of the Company and various factors reduce the influence of a 20% block of shares. Due to the size of the block of shares, the maximum proceeds for this size block of Company shares is viewed by the valuation specialist to be through underwritten secondary offerings. The monthly blockage discount for the tax year was approximately 8.9%. Total Reduction Claimed for Blockage: $460,977,767 |
