Except as set forth herein, all items remain as previously reported in the Schedule 13D.

Item 3 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

The Share Purchases (see Item 4) were funded using the investment capital of the Reporting Persons. The aggregate amount of funds used for the purchase of Shares in the Share Purchases reported herein was approximately $28.1 million.

Between August 31, 2021 and September 10, 2021, JAB Holdings purchased an aggregate of 1,777,837 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) (the shares of Common Stock, each a “Share” and, collectively, the “Shares”) of Krispy Kreme, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) in open market transactions (the “Share Purchases”).

 

The Reporting Persons acquired the securities reported herein for investment purposes and intend to review their investments in the Company on a continuing basis. Subject to the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement (as defined in Item 6 of this Schedule 13D as filed on July 16, 2021) and various factors, including but not limited to the Company’s financial position and strategic direction, price levels of the Common Stock, conditions in the securities markets, various laws and regulations applicable to the Company and companies in its industry and the Reporting Persons’ ownership in the Company, and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may in the future take actions with respect to their investment in the Company as they deem appropriate, including changing their current intentions, with respect to any or all matters required to be disclosed in this Statement.

 

It is the current intention of the Reporting Persons to acquire from time to time through open market purchases additional shares of Common Stock totaling up to approximately 3% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock, which acquisitions the Reporting Persons expect to be made in accordance with the provisions of Rule 10b-18. Any such acquisitions, including the timing thereof and the number of shares acquired will depend on the various factors described above, including market conditions for the Company’s Common Stock.

 

Without limiting the foregoing, from time to time the Reporting Persons may, or may cause their affiliates to, acquire, dispose of or continue to hold shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company (including any combination or derivative thereof).

 

 

 

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer. 

 

Item 5 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

(a) – (b)  JAB Indulgence beneficially owns 62,142,733 Shares, which represents 37.2% of the issued and outstanding Shares as of August 10, 2021, as set forth in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Latest Periodic Report”), filed by the Company with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on August 18, 2021.

 

Each other Reporting Person 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 9,516,291 Shares beneficially owned by JAB Holdings after giving effect to the Share Purchases, and, together with JAB Indulgence, to share the power to vote or dispose, or to direct the voting or disposition of, the 62,142,733 Shares beneficially owned by JAB Indulgence. Therefore, for the purpose of Rule 13d-3, JAB Holdings, JAB Investments, JAB Holding Company, Joh. A.

Except as set forth in this Item 5(a), none of the Reporting Persons, and, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the persons named in Schedule A hereto beneficially owns any Shares.  Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission by the Reporting Persons that it is the beneficial owner of any Shares.
