Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 1 does not modify any of the information previously reported on the Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms used herein without definition have the meanings assigned thereto in the Schedule 13D.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a)-(b) Investor beneficially owns 8,004,647 shares of Common Stock, and Investments 2018 beneficially owns 146,613 shares of Common Stock, which represent 4.8% and 0.1%, respectively, of the 168,200,000 issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, as set forth in the Form 10-Q filed by Krispy Kreme, Inc. with the SEC on May 11, 2023.

By virtue of the relationships described under Item 2 of the Schedule 13D, each of Mr. Trott, BDTP, BDT CP, BDTGP II Co., BDTCP GP II-A and Investor may be deemed, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, to share the power to vote or dispose, or to direct the voting or disposition of, the Investor Shares, and each of Mr. Trott, BDTP, Holdings and Investments 2018 may be deemed to share the power to vote or dispose, or to direct the voting or disposition of, the Investments 2018 Shares.

Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims membership in a group with each other Reporting Person.
