Lifeway Foods, Inc. 8-K

What Happened

• Lifeway Foods, Inc. filed a definitive proxy on April 30, 2026 for its annual meeting scheduled for June 17, 2026 and on June 3, 2026 filed a supplement to that proxy.
• The supplement adds Jason Scher as an additional director nominee (Proposal Four) for election at the June 17, 2026 annual meeting for a term expiring at the 2027 annual meeting. The Board had originally presented seven nominees (excluding Mr. Scher) and had approved reducing the Board from eight to seven, but reversed that decision and will maintain an eight-member Board.

Key Details

• Proxy originally filed: April 30, 2026; Proxy supplement filed: June 3, 2026.
• Annual meeting date: June 17, 2026.
• New nominee: Jason Scher, nominated to serve through the 2027 annual meeting.
• For voting purposes, Scher’s election is being presented as a separate proposal labeled Proposal Four.

Why It Matters

• This filing affects corporate governance: the Board chose to retain historical continuity by reinstating Jason Scher as a nominee and keeping the Board size at eight rather than reducing it.
• There is no financial information or management turnover disclosed in this filing; the item is an “Other Event” (8.01) about the proxy and director slate.
• Shareholders should review the proxy statement and supplement and vote at the June 17, 2026 meeting (or follow proxy voting instructions) since Scher’s election is a separate voting item.
