Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Vital Farms, Inc. filed an amended report to update the outcome of its advisory “say-on-frequency” vote from the 2025 annual stockholders meeting. Stockholders indicated a preference for holding the advisory vote on executive compensation every year rather than every two or three years.

In line with that stockholder vote and the Board of Directors’ prior recommendation, Vital Farms has decided to hold future non-binding advisory say-on-pay votes annually. This annual cadence will continue until the next required say-on-frequency vote, which must occur no later than the company’s 2031 annual stockholders meeting.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) amends the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Vital Farms, Inc. (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 17, 2025 (the “Original Form 8-K”). The Original Form 8-K reported the final voting results of the Company’s 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 11, 2025 (the “Annual Meeting”). The sole purpose of this Amendment is to disclose, in accordance with Item 5.07(d) of Form 8-K, the Company’s decision regarding whether non-binding advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers (the “Say-on-Pay Vote”) should be held every one year, two years, or three years (the “Say-on-Frequency Vote”). No other changes have been made to the Original Form 8-K.

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

As previously reported in the Original Form 8-K, in an advisory vote held at the Annual Meeting on the Say-on-Frequency Proposal, the Company’s stockholders indicated their preference for one year as the frequency of holding future non-binding advisory Say-On-Pay Votes. In light of these results, and consistent with the recommendation of Company’s Board of Directors as set forth in Company’s proxy statement for the Annual Meeting, the Company has determined to hold future non-binding advisory Say-On-Pay votes annually until the next Say-On-Frequency vote, which is required to occur no later than the Company’s 2031 annual meeting of stockholders.
