        Pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, on November 29, 2000, Mr. and Mrs. Tompkins became the benefical owners of 495,832 shares of Common Stock (the "Option Shares") in connection with the vesting of options granted to Mr. Tompkins pursuant (i) a Stock Option Agreement, dated November 29, 1999, to purchase an aggregate of 60,000 shares of Common Stock of Landec Corporation, and (ii) a Stock Option Agreement, dated November 29, 1999, to purchase an aggregate of 790,000 shares of Common Stock of Landec Corporation (collectively, the "Stock Option Agreements").
