FARMER BROTHERS CO 8-K

What Happened
Farmer Bros. Co. filed an 8-K on February 20, 2026 reporting that on February 16, 2026 it entered into amendments to previously disclosed Bonus Opportunities Letter Agreements for three executives. The amendments affect the timing of bonuses and grants of performance-based restricted stock units for John Moore (President & CEO), Vance Fisher (CFO), and Jared Vitemb (VP, General Counsel, Chief Compliance Officer & Secretary).

Key Details

• Amendments executed: February 16, 2026; 8-K filed: February 20, 2026.
• Affected executives: John Moore (President & CEO), Vance Fisher (CFO), Jared Vitemb (VP, General Counsel, CCO & Secretary).
• Subject of change: timing of cash bonuses and grants of performance-based restricted stock units (performance RSUs).
• The filing describes timing revisions to the previously disclosed Bonus Opportunities Letter Agreements; it does not provide new dollar amounts or additional material terms in the 8-K.

Why It Matters
Changes to the timing of executive bonuses and performance RSU grants can affect when the company recognizes compensation expense and when any related shares may be issued, which in turn can influence short-term cash flow and potential share dilution. Retail investors should watch for follow-up disclosures (e.g., future 8-Ks or the next quarterly report) for specifics on award amounts, vesting conditions, and any accounting impacts.
