Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To Plan Participants and

ERISA Finance Committee of

Kellogg Company Pringles Savings & Investment Plan

Battle Creek, MI

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of Kellogg Company Pringles Savings & Investment Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Plan’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Plan in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the Plan’s management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Supplemental Information

The supplemental information in the accompanying schedule H, Line 4i- Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) as of December 31, 2017 has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plan’s financial statements. The supplemental information is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but included supplemental information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental information is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental information. In forming our opinion on the supplemental information, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In

our opinion, the supplemental information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

Notes to Financial Statements

1.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The Kellogg Company Pringles Savings and Investment Plan (the Plan) operates as a qualified defined contribution plan and was established on June 1, 2012 under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan’s financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). The accounts of the Plan are maintained on the accrual basis. Expenses of administration are paid by the Plan.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-6, Plan Accounting: Defined Benefit Pension Plans (Topic 960), Defined Contribution Pension Plans (Topic 962), Health and Welfare Benefit Plans (Topic 965): Employee Benefit Plan Master Trust Reporting. This update requires disclosure of the dollar amount of the Plan’s interest in each type of investment held by a Master Trust, as well as the Master Trust’s other assets and liabilities on a gross basis and the dollar amount of the Plan’s interest in each balance. The amendments in ASU 2017-6 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Plan is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting the new standard on the Plan's financial statements. Entities should apply the new guidance on a retrospective basis. The Plan will adopt the updated standard at the beginning of the year ended December 31, 2019.

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value, except for the Plan's interest in guaranteed investment contracts which are stated at contract value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between the market participants at the measurement date. See Note 6 for discussion.

The Plan’s interest in income/(loss) of the Kellogg Company Master Trust (Master Trust), which consists primarily of the realized gains or losses on the fair value of the Master Trust investments, dividend and interest income, and the unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on those investments, is included in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits.

An investment transaction is accounted for on the date the purchase or sale is executed. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date; interest income is recorded as earned on an accrual basis.

The net appreciation/(depreciation) in the fair value of investments reflects both realized gains or losses and the change in the unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of investments held at year-end. Realized gains or losses from security transactions are reported on the average cost method.

Guaranteed Investment Contracts

The Master Trust invests in synthetic guaranteed investment contracts and a separate account insurance contract, for which GSAM Stable Value, LLC has oversight. The Master & Trust enters into a contract with an issuer to receive a rate of return based on underlying investments. For the synthetic contracts, the Master Trust acquires, retains title to and holds the underlying investments in a separately identified custody account. The underlying investments typically include portfolios of fixed income securities or units of fixed income collective trusts. The rate of return is based on a formula described within the terms of the contract (the crediting rate). The incremental value (if any) of the contract itself is based on i) issuer ratings as determined by credit ratings, which are published by rating agencies and ii) the present value of the change in each contract’s replacement cost. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, the present value of the differential between contract replacement cost and current contract cost was immaterial.

Contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits attributable to the fully benefit responsive guaranteed investment contracts because contract

Kellogg Company

Pringles Savings and Investment Plan

Notes to Financial Statements

Years Ended December 31, 2017 and 2016

value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. Contract value, as reported to the Plan by GSAM Stable Value, LLC, represents contributions made under the contract, plus earnings, less participant withdrawals and administrative expenses. Participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment at contract value.

There are no reserves against contract value for credit risk of the contract issuers or otherwise. The crediting interest rate is based on a formula agreed upon with the issuers, but it may not be less than zero percent. Such interest rates are reviewed on a quarterly basis for resetting.

Certain events limit the ability of the Plan to transact at contract value with the issuer. Such events include the following: (1) amendments to the Plan documents (including complete or partial Plan termination or merger with another plan), (2) bankruptcy of the Plan sponsor or other plan sponsor events (for example, divestitures or spin-offs of a subsidiary) that cause a significant withdrawal from the Plan, or (3) the failure of the trust to qualify for exemption from federal income taxes or any required prohibited transaction exemption under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). The Plan administrator does not believe that the occurrence of any such event, which would limit the Plan’s ability to transact at contract value with participants, is probable.

Except for the above, the guaranteed investment contracts do not permit the contract issuers to terminate the agreement prior to the scheduled maturity date at an amount different from contract value.

Allocation of Net Investment Income/(Loss) to Participants

Net investment income/(loss) is allocated to participant accounts daily, in proportion to their respective ownership on that day.

Participant Withdrawals

Benefit payments to participants are recorded when paid.

Notes Receivable From Participants

Notes receivable from participants are recorded at net realizable value.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Plan provides for various investment options in several investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit. Due to the level of risks associated with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term would materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits and the Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Plan’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of Net Assets Available for Benefits at the date of the financial statements and changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Trustees of the Master Trust and Kellogg Company Common Stock

Assets of the Plan, held within the Master Trust, are co-invested with the assets of other defined contribution plans sponsored by the Kellogg Company (the Company) in a commingled investment fund known as the Master Trust for which The Northern Trust Company is the trustee.

Effective January 1, 2016, Kellogg Company common stock (company stock) which was previously held within the Master Trust was transferred to separate trusts at the Mercer Trust Company, a trustee of

Kellogg Company

Pringles Savings and Investment Plan

Notes to Financial Statements

Years Ended December 31, 2017 and 2016

Company stock. Company stock was held within separate Trusts for each Plan. Effective December 1, 2017, Kellogg Company common stock was transferred from the Mercer Trust Company to the Northern Trust Company. As of December 31, 2017, Kellogg Company common stock is held in a single Master Trust for all Plans.

In 2016, due to the transfer of Kellogg Company stock out of the Master Trust to a separate trustee, the Plan's investment in company stock is presented as a separate plan investment on the Statement of Net Assets for Benefits. In 2017, the company stock is included in the Plan's interest in the Master Trust due to the transfer of Kellogg Company stock back to the Master Trust. In 2016, the related investment earnings from company stock is included in dividend income and net appreciation/(depreciation) in fair value of Kellogg Company stock on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits. In 2017, the investment earnings from Kellogg Company stock for the time frame of January 1, 2017 through November 30, 2017 is included in the dividend income and net appreciation/(depreciation in fair value of Kellogg Company stock on the statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits. Investment earnings from Kellogg Company stock for the time frame of December 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017 is included in the Plan's interest in income of the Master Trust.

Allocation of Net Investment in Master Trust

The Plan’s allocated share of the Master Trust net assets and investment activities is based upon the total of each individual participant’s share of the Master Trust. The Plan’s net interest in the Master Trust is equal to the net investment in the Master Trusts held at The Northern Trust Company.


2.	Provisions of the Plan

The Plan was established effective as of June 1, 2012. The following description of the Plan is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan document or Summary Plan descriptions for a more comprehensive description of the Plan’s provisions.

Plan Administration

The Plan is administered by the ERISA Finance Committee and the ERISA Administrative Committee appointed by Kellogg Company.

The ERISA Finance Committee has appointed TransAmerica Retirement Services powered by Financial Engines to provide financial advisory services to the Plan and participants not under a collectively bargained agreement.

Plan Participation and Contributions

Generally, all employees who were hired on or after June 1, 2012 as a result of the acquisition of Pringles Manufacturing Company or who are technicians at the Pringles Manufacturing Company’s Jackson, Tennessee plant, are eligible to participate in the Plan on the date of hire.

Subject to limitations prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, participants may elect to contribute from 1% to 50% of their annual pre-tax wages. Participants were eligible to defer up to $18,000 in 2017 and 2016. Participants who have attained age 50 before the end of the year are eligible to make catch-up contributions of up to $6,000 in 2017 and 2016.

Although not required, for each Plan year the Company may make a Discretionary Contribution to the Plan. To be eligible to share in the allocation of the Discretionary Contribution, the participant must generally be employed by the Company as of the last day of the Plan year. Each participant’s allocation of the Discretionary Contribution is calculated as a percentage of pay primarily based upon hire date and years of service. Employees may contribute to the Plan from their date of hire; however, applicable discretionary contributions are not made by the Company until the participant has completed one year of service.

Kellogg Company

Pringles Savings and Investment Plan

Notes to Financial Statements

Years Ended December 31, 2017 and 2016

Plan participants may elect to invest the contributions to their accounts as well as their account balances in various equity, guaranteed investment contracts, bond, and fixed income funds or Kellogg Company common stock or a combination thereof in multiples of one percent. Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution and (a) the Company’s Discretionary Contribution and (b) Plan earnings, and charged with an allocation of administrative and trust expenses. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined.

Vesting

Participant account balances are fully vested with regards to participant contributions. Participants who were hired on or after June 1, 2012 as a result of the acquisition of Pringles Manufacturing Company are fully vested in any Discretionary Employer Contributions made for them. Other participants hired after June 1, 2012 are fully vested in any Discretionary Employer Contributions made for them after completing three years of vesting service. Forfeitures will be used first to restore any prior forfeiture and then used to reduce the amount of future Discretionary Contributions. For years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 the forfeited amounts are held at the Master Trust level.

Notes Receivable From Participants

Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their account balance. Participants may have only one loan outstanding at any time. Loan transactions are treated as transfers between the Loan Fund and the other funds. Loan terms range from 12 to 60 months, except for principal residence loans, which must be repaid within 15 years. Interest is paid at a constant rate equal to one percent over the prime rate in the month the loan begins. Interest rates on loans issued during year-ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was 4.75%-5.25% and 4.5%, respectively. Principal and interest are paid ratably through payroll deductions. Loans that are uncollectible are defaulted resulting in the outstanding principal being considered a deemed distribution.

Participant Distributions

Participants may request an in-service withdrawal of all or a portion of certain types of contributions under standard in-service withdrawal rules. The withdrawal of any participant contributions which were not previously subject to income tax is restricted by Internal Revenue Service regulations.

Participants who terminate employment before retirement, by reasons other than death or disability, may remain in the Plan or receive payment of their account balances in a lump sum. If the account balance is $1,000 or less, the terminated participant will receive the account balance in a lump sum.

A participant can receive a distribution from the Plan due to retirement as of the date he attains age 55 after having completed at least 5 years of service. Upon retirement, disability, or death, a participant’s account balance may be received in a lump sum or installment payments. For any investment in Kellogg Company stock, the participant can elect to receive that portion of their distribution in shares.

Termination

While the Company has expressed no intentions to do so, the Plan may be terminated at any time. In the event of Plan termination, participants will become fully vested in their accounts. After payment of all expenses, at the discretion of the employer, each participant and each beneficiary of a deceased participant will either (a) receive his entire accrued benefit as soon as reasonably possible, provided that the employer does not maintain or establish another defined contribution plan as of the date of termination, or (b) have an annuity purchased through an insurance carrier on his behalf funded by the amount of his entire accrued benefit.

3.	Income Tax Status

This Plan was established effective as of June 1, 2012. The Plan has since been amended and has filed for a favorable letter of determination from the Internal Revenue Service on June 16, 2017. The Plan administrator believes the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require Plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The Plan administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2017, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.


4.	Related Party Transactions

Certain investments held in the Master Trust are shares of Kellogg Company stock and short term investment funds managed by The Northern Trust Company. The Northern Trust Company is the trustee as defined by the Plan and, therefore, these transactions, as well as participant loans, qualify as exempt party-in-interest transactions.

The Northern Trust Company charges an asset based fee and a flat account based fee which are paid to the trustee as compensation for services performed under the Master Trust agreement.

Fees paid during 2017 and 2016 for management and other services rendered by parties-in-interest were based on comparable rates for such services. The majority of such fees were paid by the Plan. A portion was returned to the Plan based on revenue sharing arrangements. The revenue sharing amounts received are used to pay the Plan’s administrative expenses.

6.	Fair Value Measurements

The Plan’s assets are categorized using a framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:


Level 1	Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2 Inputs to the valuation methodology include:


•	Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;


•	Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets;


•	Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and


•	Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.


Level 3	Inputs to the valuation methodology are prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

The asset or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2017 and 2016.


•	Money market funds: Valued at the net asset value (NAV) of shares held by the Master Trust at year end using the fair value of underlying investments. The underlying investments of the short-term investment collective trust are high-quality money market instruments with short term maturities. Redemptions are allowed on every business day.

Notes to Financial Statements

Years Ended December 31, 2017 and 2016


•	Common stocks: Valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded.


•	Mutual funds: Valued at the NAV of shares held by the Master Trust at year end.


•	Collective trusts: Collective trusts are valued based upon the NAV of units held by the Master Trust at year end using the contract value of underlying investments. These investments represent fixed income, equity securities, international equity, domestic equity and U.S. debt securities. All funds have daily redemption and are not subject to any redemption restrictions.

The following table presents a summary of the Master Trust investments in certain entities that calculate NAV per share as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.

The Plan is subject to master netting agreements, or netting arrangements, with certain counterparties. These agreements govern the terms of certain transactions and reduce the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying offsetting mechanisms and collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels. Since different types of transactions have different mechanics and are sometimes traded out of different legal entities of a particular counterparty organization, each type of transaction may be covered by a different master netting arrangement, possibly resulting in the need for multiple agreements with a single counterparty. Master netting agreements are specific to each different asset type; therefore, they allow the company to close out and net its total exposure to a specified counterparty in the event of a default with respect to any and all the transactions governed under a single agreement with the counterparty.

The preceding methods described may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, although the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

The Master Trust practice regarding the timing of transfers between levels is to measure transfers in at the beginning of the month and transfers out at the end of the month. For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Master Trust & Trust had no transfers between Levels 1, 2 or 3.
