1    The Trustee of the Hawkins, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan and Trust (the “ESOP”) is Charles Schwab Trust Company. The ESOP allows plan participants to direct voting of shares allocated to their plan accounts, and all shares held by the ESOP and reported on this Schedule are allocated to plan participant accounts. Under the applicable trust agreement, the Trustee is to vote shares with respect to which no voting instructions are received from plan participants in proportion to the shares voted by plan participants who do submit voting instructions. As a result, the Trustee may theoretically be deemed to share, at least temporarily, voting power as to all shares reported on this Schedule. The Trustee also has limited dispositive power with respect to all shares reported on this Schedule, reflecting a requirement that the assets of the ESOP must primarily consist of shares of the Issuer’s stock. The Trustee disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares attributed to it in its capacity as Trustee of the ESOP.
