Every 8-K that Spartannash Co (SPTN) has filed with the SEC in the last 24 months is listed below, newest first, and each one links through to the document itself with the summary and the scores our analysis gives it.
A 8-K covers material events a company has to report between its quarterly reports, so if you follow SPTN and want that one kind of document rather than the whole filing history, this is the page to keep. The company's other filings, of every form, are on the full SPTN filings page.
SpartanNash Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K dated September 22, 2025, disclosing a material corporate event. The filing references an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated June 22, 2025 among SpartanNash Company, New Mackinac HoldCo, Inc., Mackinac Merger Sub, Inc. and C&S Wholesale Grocers, LLC, incorporated by reference to an earlier exhibit. The report also lists SpartanNash's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws as exhibits, and includes the cover page formatted in iXBRL. The filing is signed by Ileana McAlary, Executive Vice President, Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary.
SpartanNash Company reports that the required antitrust waiting period for its planned merger with C&S Wholesale Grocers has expired without action by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. The 30-day Hart-Scott-Rodino waiting period ended at 11:59 p.m. on September 18, 2025.
The company now expects the transaction, under which SpartanNash will become a wholly owned subsidiary of New Mackinac HoldCo, to close on or about September 22, 2025. SpartanNash also highlights risks that the merger may still be delayed, terminated, or face litigation, regulatory conditions, business disruption, or market and personnel impacts.
SpartanNash Company filed a Form 8-K reporting the results of a vote at a special meeting. The company presented an Adjournment Proposal to postpone further action, and the proposal was approved by holders representing at least a majority of the votes cast on the matter. The filing lists the final vote results for the Adjournment Proposal but the excerpt provided does not include the detailed vote counts or any other matters voted on at the meeting.
SpartanNash Company reported a material event in an 8-K that references a cyberattack press release and provides valuation context for the company and peers. The filing lists three comparable public companies used in a valuation review: United Natural Foods, Inc., Albertsons Companies, Inc., and The Kroger Co. It cites UNFI valuation and multiples as of June 6, 2025 and notes that Kroger EBITDA consensus estimates include small stock-based compensation addbacks estimated at 0.1% of sales.
The filing records a reported figure of $761 million (attributable to SpartanNash per management as of April 19, 2025) and discloses ranges for fully diluted shares outstanding used in per-share calculations (roughly ~36.0 to 38.0 million, varying by context). The document appears focused on valuation metrics and transaction-related share-count estimates rather than operating results.
SpartanNash Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.22 per common share on August 27, 2025. The dividend will be paid on September 30, 2025 to shareholders who are on record as of the close of business on September 15, 2025.

SpartanNash Company reported a procedural update on its planned merger with an affiliate of C&S Wholesale Grocers. On August 18, 2025, C&S voluntarily withdrew its previously filed Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) antitrust notification to give the Federal Trade Commission more time to review the transaction, and then resubmitted the filing on or about August 19, 2025, starting a new 30-day HSR waiting period. SpartanNash states that it and C&S continue to work constructively with FTC staff and continue to expect the transaction to close in late 2025, subject to required regulatory approvals, shareholder adoption of the merger agreement, and other customary closing conditions. The company reminds shareholders that a definitive proxy statement has been filed and mailed and urges them to base any vote on that document.

The information in this report, including the press release, is being furnished under the securities laws and is not considered filed with the SEC, which means it is not automatically incorporated into registration statements.

- Requires approval from majority of shareholders and HSR Act clearance
- Company termination fee of $35.4 million applies in certain scenarios

Upon completion, SpartanNash will be delisted from NASDAQ and deregistered under the Exchange Act. The merger includes provisions for treatment of equity-based awards and includes customary non-solicitation provisions with fiduciary out exceptions.
On 22 June 2025, SpartanNash Company (Nasdaq: SPTN) filed an 8-K announcing it has signed an Agreement and Plan of Merger with New Mackinac HoldCo, Inc. (Parent), Mackinac Merger Sub, Inc. and C&S Wholesale Grocers, LLC (Guarantor). Under the agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into SpartanNash, after which the Company will survive as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.
At the effective time, each outstanding share of SpartanNash common stock (other than shares already held by Parent or Merger Sub) will automatically convert into the right to receive $26.90 in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”). No stock or contingent consideration is contemplated, providing shareholders with an all-cash exit.
The transaction is subject to customary conditions, including (i) approval by SpartanNash shareholders at a forthcoming special meeting, (ii) required governmental and regulatory consents, and (iii) satisfaction or waiver of other closing conditions to be detailed in a subsequent 8-K. The Company will file preliminary and definitive proxy statements with the SEC; definitive materials will be mailed to eligible shareholders. The filing urges investors to read these documents in full when available.
A press release describing the transaction is furnished as Exhibit 99.1. Forward-looking statements in the filing highlight risks such as failure to obtain shareholder or regulatory approvals, potential termination fees, litigation, operational restrictions during the pendency of the deal, management distraction, and possible adverse effects on share price, credit ratings, employee retention and customer relationships if the merger is delayed or not completed.
This 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities. Further details, including the full merger agreement and any updates to conditions, will be provided in future SEC filings.
