Company Update

Securities and Exchange Commission prior to the Annual Meeting.   Shareholder Proposal and Director Nominations Deadlines   Because the scheduled date of the 2024 Annual Meeting represents a change of more than 30 days from the anniversary of the Company’s 2023 annual meeting of shareholders, the deadlines for stockholders to propose actions for consideration or to nominate individuals to serve as directors at the 2024 Annual Meeting previously set forth in the Company’s 2023 proxy statement are no longer applicable. The Company is providing notice of revised deadlines in connection with the 2024 Annual Meeting (i) for the submission of stockholder proposals for inclusion in the proxy statement in compliance with Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act (“ Rule 14a-8 ”) and (ii) under the advance notice provisions applicable to stockholders desiring to bring nominations for directors or proposals other than pursuant to Rule 14a-8.   Revised Deadline for Rule 14a-8 Shareholder Proposals   Qualified stockholder proposals made pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to be presented at the 2024 Annual Meeting and included in the Company’s proxy statement and form of proxy relating to that meeting must be received at the Company’s headquarters and addressed to the Company’s Corporate Secretary, c/o Bridgford Foods Corporation, 1707 South Good-Latimer Expressway, Dallas, Texas 75226, by no later than January 19, 2024, which the Company has determined to be a reasonable time before it expects to begin to print and send its proxy materials for the 2024 Annual Meeting. Any proposal received after such date will be considered untimely for inclusion in the proxy statement. All Rule 14a-8 proposals must comply with applicable California law and the rules and the rules and regulations promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.   Revised Advance Notice Deadline for Director Nominations and Other Shareholder Proposals   The Company’s Bylaws include separate advance notice provisions applicable to shareholders desiring to bring nominations for directors or to bring proposals before an annual meeting of stockholders other than pursuant to Rule 14a-8. These advance notice provisions require that, among other things, stockholders give timely written notice to the Company’s Corporate Secretary regarding such nominations or proposals and provide the information and satisfy the other requirements set forth in the Company’s Bylaws. To be timely, a shareholder who intends to present nominations or a proposal at the 2024 Annual Meeting other than pursuant to Rule 14a-8 must provide the information set forth in the Bylaws to the Company’s Corporate Secretary no later than close of business on January 19, 2024.   The Company reserves the right to reject, rule out of order, or take other appropriate action with respect to any nomination or proposal that does not comply with these and other applicable requirements.         Signatures   Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.     BRIDGFORD FOODS CORPORATION     January 9, 2024 By: /s/ Cindy Matthews-Morales     Cindy Matthews-Morales     Principal Financial Officer
