Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

Extension of Long Swap Arrangement

As previously disclosed in Amendment No. 4 and Amendment No. 5 to this Schedule 13D, respectively, JAB Holdings and BNP Paribas entered into long cash-settled total return equity swaps on December 1, 2021 and February 24, 2022 (together, the “Long Swaps”) for establishment of long exposure with respect to a notional amount of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), of Krispy Kreme, Inc. (the “Company”) in the aggregate of 8,500,000 Shares.

On August 12, 2024, JAB Holdings and BNP Paribas agreed to extend the term of each of the Long Swaps to December 1, 2027. All other material terms of the Long Swaps remain materially unchanged and in full force and effect.

Benckiser, Agnaten and Lucresca may be deemed to be the beneficial owners of an aggregate of 74,885,435 Shares, which represents 44.15% of the issued and outstanding Shares as of August 2, 2024, as set forth in the Latest Disclosure.

As of the date hereof, Olivier Goudet may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of an aggregate of 2,110,495 Shares, which represents approximately 1.2% of the issued and outstanding Shares as of August 2, 2024, as set forth in the Latest Disclosure.

As of the date hereof, Peter Harf may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 1,657,333 Shares, which represents approximately 1.0% of the issued and outstanding Shares as of August 2, 2024, as set forth in the Latest Disclosure.
