Correcting information about Nomad Foods

Hello, my name is Sinead Noble and I work in the communications team at Nomad Foods.

I'm seeking to correct a number of inaccuracies about Nomad Foods on this page. In adherence to Wikipedia's best practice guidelines, and due to my conflict of interest, I am not making these edits directly and hoping that someone from the editorial team can make them on my behalf. These are as follows:

1. Nomad Foods is not a British Virgin Islands-based food company (paragraph one, line one) and our headquarters are not “Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands” (box out, right hand side). Nomad Foods is a “UK-headquartered European frozen food company” (paragraph one, line one). Please refer to our 2016 annual filing with the Securities Exchange Commission, https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1651717/000119312517103513/d255179d20f.htm which confirms that our HQ address is “No. 5 New Square, Bedfont Lakes Business Park, Feltham, Middlesex TW14 8HA” (box out, right hand side).

2. It is not correct that 85% of Nomad Foods’ revenues are “comprised of Germany, Austria, Italy and the UK” (paragraph one, line two). It is accurate to say that “Nomad Foods’ five largest countries – UK, Italy, Germany, France and Sweden – accounted for a combined 75% of total sales in 2016.” (paragraph one, line two). Please refer to page F-23 of our annual filing with the Securities Exchange Commission https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1651717/000119312517103513/d255179d20f.htm which provides detailed revenue information by country for the full year 2016. Page F-23 can be found two-thirds of the way down the webpage.

3. Nomad Foods was not founded on 1 April 2014 (box out, right hand side) Nomad Foods was formed on “1 June 2015” (box out, right hand side) following the completion of the acquisition of Iglo Food Holdings. Please refer to the announcement press release which you will see is dated 1 June 2015 https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1651717/000119312517103513/d255179d20f.htm.

4. The page states that “Nomad subsequently purchased the Findus Group, excluding its operations in the United Kingdom, in November 2015” (paragraph three, line one). This is not correct. The acquisition included the Findus brand in the UK. Please refer to the Daily Mirror (link) regarding the Findus Crispy Pancake product, confirming that the Findus brand in the UK is part of Nomad Group. My suggested edit is that the clause “excluding its operations in the United Kingdom” is deleted and that the rest of the sentence is retained.

5. The financial information is from 2014 and therefore outdated (box out, right hand side) The latest financial results can be found in our 2016 annual filing with the SEC (link). As noted, Nomad Foods’ 2016 revenues were “EUR 1.928 billion”, operating income was “EUR 138 million”, total equity was “EUR 1.903 billion” euro and number of employees is “4,166 (31 December 2016)”.

Thank you in advance your help - if you have any questions, or require any more information, please don't hesitate to get in touch via my Talk page. There might be a few more requests in the future; if this is the case I will always be open, transparent, and provide verifiable third-party sources for any requests.

Hello, my name is Sinead Noble and I work in the communications team at Nomad Foods. I was hoping to request some additional edits to correct inaccuracies and outdated information on this page. Please find the relevant requests below:

1) It is not accurate to say that Nomad Foods is ‘juristictioned’ in the British Virgin Islands, Nomad Foods is ‘incorporated’ in the British Virgin Islands (first paragraph), please can you update?

2) Permira no longer owns a 9% stake in Nomad, please delete the sentence “Permira holds a 9 percent stake in the new company” (history paragraph, final line). You can see this sale reported at (http://www.nomadfoods.com/investor-relations/news/news-releases/2017/06-12-2017-112936110.aspx)

3) Nomad is now headquartered at “Number 1” New Square, not “Number 5” New Square. Please can you update the box out, right hand side. (https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1651717/000165171718000011/nomd-20171231x20f.htm)

4) Can you also please hyperlink ‘Feltham’ in the headquarters detail of the box out – this will mean that the correct headquarters will pull through to the Wikipedia knowledge graph on Google, rather than the British Virgin Islands which is not where the business is headquartered.

5) The financial figures are based on 2016, we now have 2017 figures which are the latest and can be used (box out, right hand side). The latest financial results can be found in our 2017 annual filing with the SEC (https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1651717/000165171718000013/ex991pressrelease20171231.htm). As noted, Nomad Foods’ 2017 revenues were “EUR 1.957 billion”, operating income was “EUR 243 million”, total equity was “EUR 1.853 billion” euro and number of employees is “3,875 (31 December 2017)”.

Please do not hesitate to get in touch via my Talk page should you wish to discuss this request further.
