Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
We, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule
13a-15(e) under the 1934 Act). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that,
as of May 31, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in
reports that we file or submit under the 1934 Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods
specified in applicable rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, in a manner that allows timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the 1934 Act) during our
fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2026, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.
MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
The management of General Mills, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial
reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the 1934 Act. The Company’s internal control system was designed to
provide reasonable assurance to our management and the Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of
published financial statements. Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as
of May 31, 2026. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of
the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013).
Based on our assessment using the criteria set forth by COSO in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013), management
concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of May 31, 2026.
KPMG LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, has issued a report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting.
