Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

Lancaster Colony Corporation (“the Company”) will be the sole supplier of Chick-fil-A^® sauces in conjunction with a regional pilot test by Chick-fil-A, Inc. to sell its popular sauces through the retail channel. The Company is scheduled to commence shipments of sauces for this regional pilot test the week of March 16, 2020. Beyond the regional pilot test, the Company will have exclusive rights under a license agreement to distribute Chick-fil-A sauces to retail grocery stores in the United States. The Company has a long-standing relationship as a supplier of sauces and bread products to Chick-fil-A which helped to position the Company for this new opportunity. The anticipated impact of the pilot test on the Company’s financial results for the current fiscal year ending June 30, 2020 was considered in the outlook commentary the Company shared during our most recent earnings call on February 4, 2020. The impact of this opportunity on the Company’s financial results beyond the current fiscal year is subject to the pilot test results.
