Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 30, 2026, The Hain Celestial Group, Inc. (“Hain”) entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Snackruptors Inc. (“Snackruptors”), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, Snackruptors has agreed to acquire from Hain its North American Snacks business, including Garden Veggie Snacks™, Terra® chips and Garden of Eatin’® snacks as well as certain private label products (the “Business”) for $115 million in cash, subject to a customary inventory adjustment (the “Transaction”). Snackruptors is a Canadian-based, family-owned snacks manufacturer. Hain will use the net cash proceeds from the Transaction (after taxes and transaction costs) to pay down debt.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of Hain, including those relating to the operation of the Business, in each case subject to various materiality and other customary qualifiers. The Purchase Agreement also contains customary representations and warranties of Snackruptors, subject to materiality and other customary qualifiers. The Purchase Agreement provides for customary covenants, including covenants relating to Hain using commercially reasonable efforts to operate the Business in the ordinary course and to refrain from taking certain actions without Snackruptors’ consent during the period from the date of the Purchase Agreement to the closing of the Transaction (the “Closing”).

Consummation of the Transaction is subject to various closing conditions, including (i) the absence of laws or judgments preventing the consummation of the Transaction, (ii) no Business Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) having occurred since the date of the Purchase Agreement, and (iii) customary conditions regarding the accuracy of the representations and warranties and compliance by the parties with their respective obligations under the Purchase Agreement. The Transaction is currently expected to close in February 2026.

At the Closing, Hain and Snackruptors will enter into a Transition Services Agreement, pursuant to which Hain and Snackruptors will provide certain transition services to each other for a period of time following the Closing.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

The foregoing summary has been included to provide stockholders with information regarding the terms of the Purchase Agreement. It is not intended to provide any factual information about Hain, Snackruptors or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. The Purchase Agreement contains representations and warranties that Hain, on one hand, and Snackruptors, on the other hand, made to and solely for the benefit of each other as of specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties were made solely for purposes of the Purchase Agreement and may be subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the terms of the Purchase Agreement or contained in confidential disclosures provided by the parties. Some of those representations and warranties (i) may not be accurate or complete as of any specified date and are modified, qualified and created in important part by the underlying disclosures provided by the parties, (ii) may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to stockholders or (iii) may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties to the Purchase Agreement rather than establishing matters as facts. For the foregoing reasons, the representations and warranties should not be relied upon as statements of factual information. Stockholders are not third-party beneficiaries under the Purchase Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or conditions of Hain or Snackruptors. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in Hain’s public disclosures.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On February 2, 2026, Hain issued a press release announcing its entry into the Purchase Agreement.

A copy of the press release is being furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference in this Item 7.01. The information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 of Form 8-K and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as otherwise expressly stated in such filing.
