A transaction with Intersnack Group is expected to close before the end of November 2026, after which the business is expected to return to private ownership.

Voting matters and shareholder proposals
The definitive proxy statement and proxy card were mailed to stockholders of record as of September 28, 2026; required stockholder approvals are among the transaction’s closing conditions.
Board of directors and corporate governance
Dylan Lissette serves as chair of the public-company board and is slated to become executive chair of the private business formed with Intersnack Group.
Lindeman, a current board member, will lead the private business; he previously served as CEO and president of Calavo Growers and as CEO and CFO of Hydrofarm Holdings Group.
Friedman and Lindeman plan to work together over the weeks before the leadership change to support continuity and a smooth public-to-private transition.
