By using a proxy, you can vote even if you do not attend the Annual Meeting. This proxy statement describes the matters on which you are being asked to vote and provides information on the matters so you can make an informed decision.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q: What am I voting on?

A: At the Annual Meeting you will be asked to vote on the following proposals. Our Board recommendation for each of these proposals is set forth below.

Proposal	Board Recommendation
1.   To elect ten members of the Board of Directors, each to hold office for a one-year term expiring at the 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.	FOR each Director Nominee
2.   To ratify the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as our independent registered public accounting firm for the 2016 fiscal year.	FOR

We will also consider other business that properly comes before the meeting in accordance with the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“BVI law”) and our Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Memorandum and Articles”).

Q: Who can vote?

A: Holders of our ordinary shares, no par value, (the “Ordinary Shares”) and of our founder preferred shares, no par value, (the “Preferred Shares”), which we sometimes collectively refer to as the “Shares”, at the close of business on May 6, 2016 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to vote their Shares at the Annual Meeting.

Q: How many votes are eligible to be cast at the Annual Meeting?

A: As of the Record Date, there were 182,065,410 Ordinary Shares and 1,500,000 Preferred Shares issued, outstanding and entitled to vote. Each Ordinary Share and each Preferred Share carries the right to one vote on the matter to be voted on at the Annual Meeting.

Q: What rules govern our Annual Meeting and the voting process?

A: We will hold our Annual Meeting in accordance with the corporate governance practices of the British Virgin Islands and our Memorandum and Articles. As we are a foreign private issuer, as defined by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), we are exempt

Nomad Foods        2016 Proxy Statement 1

PROXY STATEMENT

from the rules and regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) related to the furnishing and content of proxy statements. In addition, as a foreign private issuer, we are generally not required to follow the voting requirements applicable to domestic issuers under the NYSE rules.

Q: What constitutes a quorum, and why is a quorum required?

A: We are required to have a quorum of shareholders present to conduct business at the meeting. The presence at the meeting, in person or by proxy, of one shareholder entitled to vote on the matter to be presented will constitute a quorum, permitting us to conduct the business of the meeting.

Q: What is the difference between a “shareholder of record” and a “street name” holder?

A: If your Shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare, you are considered a “shareholder of record” or a “registered shareholder” of those Shares. If your Shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank, trust or other nominee or custodian (each, a “Broker”), you are considered the “beneficial owner” of those Shares, which are held in “street name.”

Q: How do I vote?

A: If you are a shareholder of record, you may vote:

• By Internet. The enclosed proxy card indicates the website you may access for Internet voting. The Internet voting system allows you to confirm that the system has properly recorded your votes.

• By Telephone. If you are located in the United States, United States territories or Canada, you can vote your proxy by calling 1-800-652-VOTE (8683). If you are located outside the United States, you can vote by calling 1-781-575-2300. If you vote by telephone, you do not need to return your proxy card.

• By Mail. If you are located in the United States, you can vote by marking, dating and signing your proxy card and returning it by mail in the enclosed postage-paid envelope. If you are located outside the United States, you should add the necessary postage to the enclosed envelope to ensure delivery. In order to ensure that your vote is received on or prior to the date of the Annual Meeting, we recommend that your proxy card be returned to us by overnight mail.

• In Person at the Annual Meeting. If you attend the Annual Meeting, we will give you a ballot when you arrive. Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we encourage you to vote your Shares by proxy so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the meeting.

If you are a beneficial owner, you must follow the voting procedures of your Broker.

Q: What are the requirements to elect the director nominees?

A: The affirmative vote of a majority of shares present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is required in order for a director to be elected.

Nomad Foods        2016 Proxy Statement 2

PROXY STATEMENT

Q: What are the requirements for ratification of PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm?

A: The affirmative vote of a majority of shares present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is required for the ratification of PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm for the 2016 fiscal year.

Q: What if I am a beneficial owner and I do not give the nominee voting instructions?

A: If you are a beneficial owner and your Ordinary Shares are held in “street name,” the Broker is bound by the rules of the NYSE regarding whether or not it can exercise discretionary voting power for any particular proposal if the Broker has not received voting instructions from you. Brokers have the authority to vote shares for which their customers do not provide voting instructions on certain routine matters. A broker non-vote occurs when a Broker returns a proxy but does not vote on a particular proposal because the Broker does not have discretionary authority to vote on the proposal and has not received specific voting instructions for the proposal from the beneficial owner of the shares. Broker non-votes are not counted as votes cast.

The ratification of the appointment of PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm for the 2016 fiscal year is considered routine, and if you do not submit voting instructions, your Broker may choose, in its discretion, to vote or not vote your shares on the ratification. Election of directors is not considered routine, and your broker may not exercise discretion to vote your shares for or against director nominees absent your voting instructions.

Q: What if I sign and return my proxy without making any selections?

A: If you sign and return your proxy without making any selections, your Ordinary Shares or Preferred Shares will be voted “FOR” each of the director nominees and “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm for the 2016 fiscal year. If other matters properly come before the meeting, the persons named as proxy holders, Stéfan Descheemaeker and Paul Kenyon will have the authority to vote on those matters for you at their discretion. If your Ordinary Shares are held in “street name,” see the question above on how to vote your Shares.

Q: How do I change my vote?

A: A shareholder of record may revoke his or her proxy by giving written notice of revocation to Computershare before the meeting, by delivering a later-dated proxy (either in writing, by telephone or over the Internet), or by voting in person at the Annual Meeting.

If your Ordinary Shares are held in “street name,” you may change your vote by following your Broker’s procedures for revoking or changing your proxy.

Q: What shares are covered by my proxy card?

A: Your proxy reflects all Ordinary Shares or Preferred Shares owned by you at the close of business on May 6, 2016.

Q: What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?

A: If you receive more than one proxy card, it means that you hold Ordinary Shares in more than one account. To ensure that all of your Ordinary Shares are voted, you should sign and return each proxy card. Alternatively, if you vote by telephone or via the Internet, you will need to vote once for each proxy card and voting instruction card you receive.

PROXY STATEMENT

Q: Who can attend the Annual Meeting?

A: Only holders of Ordinary Shares or Preferred Shares and our invited guests are permitted to attend the Annual Meeting. To gain admittance, you must bring a form of government-issued identification to the meeting, where your name will be verified against our shareholder list. If a Broker holds your Ordinary Shares and you plan to attend the meeting, you should bring a brokerage statement showing your ownership of the Ordinary Shares as of the Record Date or a letter from the Broker confirming such ownership, and a form of government-issued identification. If you wish to vote your Ordinary Shares that are held by a Broker at the meeting, you must obtain a proxy from your Broker and bring such proxy to the meeting. Cameras and other recording devices will not be permitted at the Annual Meeting.

Q: If I plan to attend the Annual Meeting, should I still vote by proxy?

A: Yes. Casting your vote in advance does not affect your right to attend the Annual Meeting. If you send in your proxy card and also attend the meeting, you do not need to vote again at the meeting unless you want to change your vote. Written ballots will be available at the Annual Meeting for shareholders of record.

Q: How can I access the Company’s public filings with the SEC?

A: You may access any of our public filings with the SEC through the Investor – SEC Filings link on our website at www.nomadfoods.com.

Q: What should I do if I have other questions?

PROPOSAL I — ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Introduction

Our Memorandum and Articles provides that our Board must be composed of at least one director. Our Board currently consists of ten directors. Pursuant to our Memorandum and Articles and a resolution of directors, our directors are appointed at the annual meeting of shareholders for a one year term, with each director serving until the annual meeting of shareholders following his or her election.

Upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of our Board, our Board has nominated the following persons for election at the Annual Meeting, each for a one-year term that expires at the 2017 Annual Meeting: (i) Stéfan Descheemaeker, (ii) Paul Kenyon, (iii) Martin E. Franklin, (iv) Noam Gottesman, (v) Ian G.H. Ashken, (vi) Jeremy Isaacs CBE, (vii) James E. Lillie, (viii) Lord Myners of Truro CBE, (ix) Victoria Parry, and (x) Brian Welch. Each nominee has consented to serve if elected. Each of these nominees, with the exception of Mr. Ashken, currently serves as a director of the Company. John Coyle, a current director of the Company, is not standing for re-election at the Annual Meeting.

Nomination of Directors by Preferred Shareholders

In addition to our Board, initial holders of 20% or more of our Preferred Shares are entitled to nominate, and the Board is required to appoint, a person as director. If such holder notifies the Company in writing to remove any director nominated by him or her, the other directors must remove such director, and the holder will have the right to nominate a director to fill the resulting vacancy. In the event an initial holder ceases to be a holder of Preferred Shares or holds less than 20% of the Preferred Shares in issue, such initial holder will no longer be entitled to nominate a person as a director, and the holders of a majority of the Preferred Shares in issue will be entitled to exercise that initial holder’s former rights to appoint a director instead. Of the outstanding Preferred Shares, 50% are held by an entity affiliated with Mr. Franklin and 50% are held by an entity affiliated with Mr. Gottesman. Although each of Mr. Franklin and Mr. Gottesman serve on the Board, neither of them nominated any persons to serve as directors of the Company at this time.

Director Qualifications

We believe that each of our nominees has the experience, skills and qualities to fully perform his or her duties as a director and to contribute to our success. Each of our nominees is being nominated because he or she adheres to the highest standards of personal integrity and possesses excellent interpersonal and communication skills, is highly accomplished in his or her field, has an understanding of the interests and issues that are important to our shareholders and is able to dedicate sufficient time to fulfilling his or her obligations as a director. Our nominees as a group complement each other and each other’s respective experiences, skills and qualities.

Each nominee’s principal occupation and other pertinent information about the particular experience, qualifications, attributes and skills that led the Board to conclude that such person should serve as a director appears on the following pages.

The Board recommends a vote FOR the election of each of the following director nominees.

As we are a foreign private issuer, as defined by the rules of the SEC, we are permitted to follow certain corporate governance practices of our home country, the British Virgin Islands, instead of those otherwise required for domestic issuers by both the SEC and the NYSE. While we voluntarily follow most NYSE corporate governance rules, we also take advantage of some limited exemptions, which we note in this “Corporate Governance” section.

Independence of Directors

In 2015, our Board undertook a review of director independence, which included a review of each director’s responses to questionnaires asking about any relationships with us. This review was designed to identify and evaluate any transactions or relationships between a director or any member of his or her immediate family and us, or members of our senior management or other members of our Board of Directors, and all relevant facts and circumstances regarding any such transactions or relationships. Based on this review, our Board has affirmatively determined that each of Messrs. Isaacs, Lillie, Myners and Welch and Ms. Parry meet the independence requirements of the NYSE’s corporate governance listing standards. In addition, based on Mr. Ashken’s responses to a questionnaire asking about any relationships with us, our Board has determined that Mr. Ashken is independent.

Because Messrs. Gottesman and Franklin are affiliated with entities that receive advisory fees from us, they are not independent under NYSE governance standards. In addition, Messrs. Descheemaeker and Kenyon are executive officers of the Company and therefore are not independent.

Under BVI law, there is no requirement that our Board consist of a majority of independent directors and our independent directors are not required to hold executive sessions. Accordingly, only five out of our ten board members are independent based on NYSE independence standards. Also, while our board’s non-management directors will meet regularly in executive session without management, our Board does not intend to hold an executive session of only independent directors at least once a year as called for by the NYSE.

The Board has created the position of Lead Independent Director to facilitate and strengthen the Board’s independent oversight of our performance and strategy and to promote effective governance standards.

Board Committees

Our Board has three standing Committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, each of which operates under a written charter adopted by the Board. Each Committee will review its charter periodically and recommend charter changes to the Board as appropriate. A current copy of each of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee charters is available through the Investor Relations – Corporate Governance – Committee Charters link on our website, www.nomadfoods.com.

Independence and Financial Expertise.  The Board reviewed the background, experience and independence of the current Audit Committee members and based on this review, the Board determined that each member of the Audit Committee:

• meets the enhanced independence standards for audit committee members required by the SEC; and

• is financially literate, knowledgeable and qualified to review financial statements.

PROPOSAL II — RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit Committee of our Board is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of our independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee has selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2016, and our Board has directed that our management submit that selection for ratification by our shareholders at the Annual Meeting. PwC acted as our independent registered public accounting firm for the nine months ended December 31, 2015 and the year ended March 31, 2015. The Audit Committee and the Board believe that the retention of PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm is in the best interest of the Company and our shareholders, and we are asking our shareholders to ratify the selection of PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2016.

Although ratification is not required by our Memorandum and Articles or otherwise, we are submitting the selection of PwC to our shareholders for ratification because we value our shareholders’ views on our Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and as a matter of good corporate governance. The Audit Committee will consider the outcome of our shareholders’ vote in connection with the Audit Committee’s selection of our independent registered public accounting firm in the next fiscal year, but is not bound by the shareholders’ vote. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee may, in its discretion, direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time if it determines that a change would be in the best interests of our Company and our shareholders.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

All services provided by our auditors are approved in advance by either the Audit Committee or members thereof, to whom authority has been delegated, in accordance with the Audit Committee’s pre-approval policy. No such services were approved pursuant to the procedures described in Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X, which waives the general requirement for pre-approval in certain circumstances.
