First Watch Restaurant Group Files 8-K Amendment on Say‑on‑Pay Vote Frequency

What Happened
First Watch Restaurant Group, Inc. (FWRG) filed an amendment to a previously submitted Form 8‑K on July 31, 2026 to disclose the company’s decision regarding the frequency of future stockholder advisory votes to approve the compensation of the company’s named executive officers (the “say‑on‑pay” vote). The amendment only adds the company’s frequency decision under Item 5.07(d); no other changes were made to the original Form 8‑K.

Key Details

• Filing: Form 8‑K amendment under Item 5.07(d), filed 2026-07-31 (Accession 0001789940-26-000082).
• Subject: Company’s decision on how frequently it will conduct future advisory “say‑on‑pay” votes.
• Scope: Disclosure is limited to the frequency decision; the amendment states no other revisions to the original filing.

Why It Matters
This is a corporate governance update: the disclosed frequency determines how often shareholders will have a formal, non‑binding advisory vote on executive compensation. It does not change executive pay itself or other financial results, but it affects how frequently investors can formally express their views on pay practices. For most retail investors, this is a procedural disclosure rather than a change to operations or financial guidance.
