Company and any person who is or has served at the request of the Company as a director, officer or trustee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (and his or her heirs, executors and administrators), to the
full extent and according to the procedures and requirements set forth in the Ohio General Corporation Law. The Company&#146;s Regulations also provide that the indemnification provisions provided for therein do not restrict the right of the Company
(i)&nbsp;to indemnify its employees, agents and others as permitted by law, (ii)&nbsp;to purchase and maintain insurance or provide similar protection on behalf of its directors, officers and such other persons against liabilities asserted against
them or expenses incurred by them arising out of their service to the Company, and (iii)&nbsp;to enter into agreements with such persons indemnifying them against such liabilities. </P>

general, under Section&nbsp;1701.13(E) of the Ohio Revised Code, an Ohio corporation is permitted to indemnify its present or former officers, directors, employees and agents against liabilities and expenses incurred by such persons in their
capacities as such so long as they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, provided that in an action by or in the name of the corporation, if the person seeking
indemnification was adjudged to be liable for negligence, no indemnification is permitted unless the court in which the action was brought specifically determines that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all
the circumstances of the case. The statute also provides that an Ohio corporation shall advance attorney&#146;s fees incurred by directors, and may advance such fees incurred by executive officers, employees, agents and others, prior to the final
outcome of a matter provided the person seeking such advances undertakes to repay them if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification (except in the case of directors who must undertake to repay such advances only
if it is proved by clear and convincing evidence in a court of competent jurisdiction that the act or failure to act in question was undertaken with deliberate intent to cause injury to the corporation or was undertaken with reckless disregard for
the best interests of the corporation). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company has purchased insurance policies that provide coverage for the acts and omissions of

controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
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 of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue. </P>

The following documents, which have previously
been filed by Lancaster Colony Corporation (the "Company") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), are
incorporated by reference herein and shall be deemed to be a part hereof:
1. The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2015, filed on August 28, 2015 (Commission File No. 000-04065).
2. The Company's Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2015, filed on November 3, 2015 (Commission File No. 000-04065).

Company's Current Reports on Form 8-K dated August 19, 2015 (filed on August 19, 2015), August 20, 2015 (filed on August 20, 2015), and October 29, 2015 (filed on October 29, 2015) (Commission File No.
000-04065).
4. The description of the Company's common stock, which is contained in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K
dated October 29, 2015 (filed on October 29, 2015) (Commission File No. 000-04065), or contained in any subsequent amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating such description.
All documents filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (except to the extent information is
deemed furnished and not filed pursuant to securities laws and regulations) after the date of this registration statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Regulations
The Company's Regulations provide that the Company shall indemnify any director or officer and any former director or officer of the
Company and any person who is or has served at the request of the Company as a director, officer or trustee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (and his or her heirs, executors and administrators), to the
full extent and according to the procedures and requirements set forth in the Ohio General Corporation Law. The Company's Regulations also provide that the indemnification provisions provided for therein do not restrict the right of the Company
(i) to indemnify its employees, agents and others as permitted by law, (ii) to purchase and maintain insurance or provide similar protection on behalf of its directors, officers and such other persons against liabilities asserted against
them or expenses incurred by them arising out of their service to the Company, and (iii) to enter into agreements with such persons indemnifying them against such liabilities.
Ohio Law
In
general, under Section 1701.13(E) of the Ohio Revised Code, an Ohio corporation is permitted to indemnify its present or former officers, directors, employees and agents against liabilities and expenses incurred by such persons in their
capacities as such so long as they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, provided that in an action by or in the name of the corporation, if the person seeking
indemnification was adjudged to be liable for negligence, no indemnification is permitted unless the court in which the action was brought specifically determines that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all
the circumstances of the case. The statute also provides that an Ohio corporation shall advance attorney's fees incurred by directors, and may advance such fees incurred by executive officers, employees, agents and others, prior to the final
outcome of a matter provided the person seeking such advances undertakes to repay them if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification (except in the case of directors who must undertake to repay such advances only
if it is proved by clear and convincing evidence in a court of competent jurisdiction that the act or failure to act in question was undertaken with deliberate intent to cause injury to the corporation or was undertaken with reckless disregard for
the best interests of the corporation).
The Company has purchased insurance policies that provide coverage for the acts and omissions of
the Company's directors and officers in certain situations.
Item 7.
Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not Applicable.
Item 8.
Exhibits.
For a full list of exhibits, see the Exhibit Index in this registration
statement, which is incorporated into this Item 8 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 of 1933;
II-2
(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 the 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 a 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 percent 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 the registration statement.
provided, however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above 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 section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the
registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective
amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time will be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(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 undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement will be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time will be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 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 Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
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 of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
