[8-K] Krispy Kreme, Inc. Reports Material Event

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Estate of Daniel L. Goodwin has filed Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13G for Byline Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE: BY). The filing shows beneficial ownership of 13,613 common shares, equal to approximately 0.0% of the 46.14 million shares outstanding as of 12 June 2025. All voting and dispositive power over the shares is shared; the estate reports no sole voting or dispositive authority. The estate also disclaims beneficial ownership because the shares are held through an indirect holding-company structure. Since the stake is now well below the 5% reporting threshold, the amendment primarily serves to update ownership levels and certify that the securities are not held to influence control of the issuer.

Insights

Securities Analyst

TL;DR – Estate discloses only 0% stake; administrative update, minimal market impact.

This 13G/A signals that the Estate of Daniel L. Goodwin’s economic interest in Byline Bancorp has declined to 13,613 shares, effectively a rounding error against the 46 million-plus float. The estate retains shared voting/dispositive power, but the certification confirms no intent to influence control. Such a de-minimis holding neither pressures management nor offers a strategic signal for other investors. Trading liquidity and valuation should remain unaffected. The filing is thus routine compliance, not a catalyst.

(c)

In its Current Report on Form 8-K dated June 27, 2025, Krispy Kreme Inc. (the “Company”) reported that it had appointed Raphael Duvivier to serve as its Chief Financial Officer, effective July 11, 2025.

On July 1, 2025, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee (the “Committee”) of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) determined that in his new position, Mr. Duvivier (i) will receive an annual base salary of $700,000, (ii) will be eligible to participate in the Company’s annual cash bonus program with a target bonus opportunity equal to eighty percent (80%) of his base salary and a maximum bonus opportunity equal to 200% of his target bonus, and (iii) will be eligible to participate in the Company’s annual long-term incentive program (“LTI Plan”) at a target level of $750,000 for fiscal year 2026, subject to the terms of the LTI Plan and the applicable award agreement. Mr. Duvivier’s annual grant under the LTI Plan in 2026 will be delivered 50% in restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and 50% in performance stock units (“PSUs”). The RSUs will vest 100% on the third anniversary of the grant date. The PSUs will vest at the end of a three-year performance period, subject to the achievement of applicable performance goals.

In addition, Mr. Duvivier will receive a one-time award of RSUs under the LTI Plan at a market value of $150,000 and vesting 100% on the third anniversary of the grant date. He will also be provided relocation assistance and related allowances.

(e)

On July 1, 2025, the Committee approved retention grants for Joshua Charlesworth, Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Duvivier, and Theresa Zandhuis, Chief People Officer, in an amount equal to approximately 1.4 times their target annual LTI Plan grant values, or approximately $1,000,000, $750,000, and $600,000, respectively. These grants will be delivered in the form of stock options, RSUs, and PSUs as follows: stock options (350,000, 300,000 and 200,000 options, respectively) that will have a six-year term and vest in three years; RSUs (175,000, 150,000, and 100,000 RSUs, respectively) that will vest on the second anniversary of the date of grant; and PSUs (175,500, 150,000, and 100,000 PSUs, respectively) that will vest based on goals established in early 2026 for the 2026 – 2028 performance period, subject to the achievement of applicable performance goals.

In addition, the Committee approved a cash bonus opportunity for the second half of 2025 in which the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief People Officer, other executive officers, and other annual bonus-eligible employees are eligible to participate whereby eligible employees would receive the higher of the payout under the previously approved cash bonus program or the payout of the newly approved target based on performance measures of EBITDA and Free Cash Flow with an opportunity of 50% of target.
