</TABLE>
<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 9pt 0 0; text-indent: 17.25pt">Under North Carolina law, a corporation
may limit or eliminate a director&rsquo;s monetary liability in its articles of incorporation subject to three relevant exceptions:
(i) for the unlawful payment of dividends; (ii) for a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit;
and (iii) for acts or omissions that the director at the time of his alleged breach of duty knew or believed were clearly in conflict
with the best interest of the corporation. Snyder&rsquo;s-Lance&rsquo;s restated articles of incorporation and bylaws provide that,
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no director of Snyder&rsquo;s-Lance shall have any personal liability arising
out of any action whether by or in the right of Snyder&rsquo;s-Lance or otherwise for monetary damages for breach of his or her
duty as a director.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 9pt 0 0; text-indent: 17.25pt">Under North Carolina law, a corporation
is permitted to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent against liability incurred in a proceeding to which the individual
was made a party because of the fact he was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation if he (i) conducted himself
in good faith, (ii) reasonably believed (a) that any action taken in his official capacity with the corporation was in the best
interests of the corporation or (b) that in all other cases his conduct was at least not opposed to the corporation&rsquo;s best
interests, and (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. However,
a corporation may not indemnify such individual in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation in the individual
was adjudged liable to the corporation or in connection with any other proceeding charging improper personal benefit in which the
individual was adjudged liable (whether or not involving action in his official capacity) on the basis of having received an improper
personal benefit. North Carolina law permits a corporation in its articles of incorporation or bylaws or by contract or resolution
to indemnify, or agree to indemnify, any of its directors, officers, employees or agents against liability and expenses in any
proceeding (including derivative suits) arising out of their status as such or their activities in such capacities, except for
any liabilities or expenses incurred on account of activities that were, at the time taken, known or believed by the person to
be clearly in conflict with the best interests of the corporation. Snyder&rsquo;s-Lance&rsquo;s bylaws require Snyder&rsquo;s-Lance
to indemnify its directors to the fullest extent permitted by law.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 9pt 0 0; text-indent: 17.25pt">North Carolina law also permits a corporation
to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of its directors, officers, employees or agents against liabilities which they may
incur in such capacities. Snyder&rsquo;s-Lance has purchased insurance to provide for indemnification of directors and officers.</P>

Pursuant to Rule 416 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") this registration statement also covers any additional securities offered or
    issued under the Snyder's-Lance, Inc. 2016 Key Employee Incentive Plan, as amended, to prevent dilution resulting from stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations or similar transactions
    affected without the receipt of consideration that increases the number of the Registrant's outstanding securities.
(2)
A maximum aggregate of 6,574,285 shares may be offered and sold pursuant to the Registrant's 2016 Key Employee Incentive Plan (the "2016 Plan"). Of this amount, (a) 2,574,285 shares were previously registered for offer and sale under the Registrant's 2012 Key Employee Incentive Plan (the "2012 Plan") (the "Carried Forward Shares") and (b) 4,000,000 shares are newly registered shares. The Carried Forward Shares consist of (a) 824,756 shares that were available for awards under the 2012 plan as of May 11, 2016, as may be increased to also include (b) up to 1,749,529 shares that were subject to awards under the 2012 Plan on May 11, 2016 and become available for reuse upon cancellation, termination, expiration or lapse of such awards after May 11, 2016 in accordance with the terms of the 2016 Plan.
(3)
Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee pursuant to Rule 457(c) and 457(h) of the Securities Act and based on the average of the high and low prices for the common stock on May 11, 2016 as reported on The Nasdaq Stock Market.
(4)
The amount to be registered in this row reflects the Carried Forward Shares. All of the Carried Forward Shares were registered pursuant to the Registrant's Registration Statements on Form S-8 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on July 25, 2012 (File No. 333-182833) (the "2012 Plan Registration Statement"). Pursuant to Interpretation 89 under Section G of the Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission (July 1997) and Instruction E to the General Instructions to Form S-8, the Registrant has carried forward the registration fees previously paid for the Carried Forward Shares. The Registrant is concurrently filing a Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the 2012 Plan Registration Statement to reflect the carry forward of the shares registered thereunder to this Registration Statement.

Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
The validity of the securities the

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Under North Carolina law, a corporation
may limit or eliminate a director's monetary liability in its articles of incorporation subject to three relevant exceptions:
(i) for the unlawful payment of dividends; (ii) for a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit;
and (iii) for acts or omissions that the director at the time of his alleged breach of duty knew or believed were clearly in conflict
with the best interest of the corporation. Snyder's-Lance's restated articles of incorporation and bylaws provide that,
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no director of Snyder's-Lance shall have any personal liability arising
out of any action whether by or in the right of Snyder's-Lance or otherwise for monetary damages for breach of his or her
duty as a director.
Under North Carolina law, a corporation
is permitted to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent against liability incurred in a proceeding to which the individual
was made a party because of the fact he was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation if he (i) conducted himself
in good faith, (ii) reasonably believed (a) that any action taken in his official capacity with the corporation was in the best
interests of the corporation or (b) that in all other cases his conduct was at least not opposed to the corporation's best
interests, and (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. However,
a corporation may not indemnify such individual in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation in the individual
was adjudged liable to the corporation or in connection with any other proceeding charging improper personal benefit in which the
individual was adjudged liable (whether or not involving action in his official capacity) on the basis of having received an improper
personal benefit. North Carolina law permits a corporation in its articles of incorporation or bylaws or by contract or resolution
to indemnify, or agree to indemnify, any of its directors, officers, employees or agents against liability and expenses in any
proceeding (including derivative suits) arising out of their status as such or their activities in such capacities, except for
any liabilities or expenses incurred on account of activities that were, at the time taken, known or believed by the person to
be clearly in conflict with the best interests of the corporation. Snyder's-Lance's bylaws require Snyder's-Lance
to indemnify its directors to the fullest extent permitted by law.
North Carolina law also permits a corporation
to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of its directors, officers, employees or agents against liabilities which they may
incur in such capacities. Snyder's-Lance has purchased insurance to provide for indemnification of directors and officers.
Item 7.
Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8.
Exhibits.
Reference is made to the attached
Exhibit Index, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 9.
Undertakings.
(a)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)
to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)
to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii)
to include any material information with respect
        to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in
        this registration statement;
provided, however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and
(a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs
is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement;
(2)
that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and
(3)
to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)
The undersigned registrant hereby further undertakes that, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(c)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
.
