Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) These shares (the "Shares") of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Krispy Kreme, Inc. (the "Company") are held and beneficially owned by JAB Indulgence B.V., a direct or indirect subsidiary of each Reporting Person herein. As such, each Reporting Person herein may be deemed a beneficial owner of Shares held by JAB Indulgence B.V. Each such Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of such Shares, except to the extent of its pecuniary interests therein.
(2) As previously disclosed, JAB Holdings B.V. entered into a long cash-settled total return equity swap on February 28, 2023 (the "Long Swap") with Banco Santander, S.A. (the "Dealer") providing for the establishment of long exposure with respect to a notional amount of up to the number of Shares purchased by the Dealer with an aggregate initial price not to exceed $100,000,000 (the "Subject Shares") that provide JAB Holdings B.V. with economic results that are comparable to the economic results of ownership of the Subject Shares. All balances will be exclusively cash settled.
(3) On March 2, 2026, JAB Holdings B.V. and the Dealer agreed to extend the term of the Long Swap to March 1, 2028 for no additional consideration, although JAB Holdings B.V. has the right to terminate and close out the Long Swap during certain specified earlier periods if it so chooses. The extension resulted in a deemed cancellation of the existing Long Swap and a deemed entry into a new Long Swap with a later settlement date. The deemed cancellation is exempt from Sections 16(a) and 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, pursuant to Rules 16a-4(d) and 16b-6(d) promulgated thereunder, respectively. JAB Holdings B.V.'s exposure with respect to the Subject Shares remains unchanged, and the Long Swap remains in full force and effect.
(4) The Long Swap (but not the Subject Shares referenced thereby) is owned by JAB Holdings B.V., a direct or indirect subsidiary of each other Reporting Person herein. The Long Swap does not give JAB Holdings B.V. direct or indirect voting, investment or dispositive control over any securities of the Company or require the Dealer to acquire, hold, vote or dispose of any securities of the Company. Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein, including the Subject Shares, except to the extent of its pecuniary interest therein, and this Form 4 shall not be deemed to be an admission that such Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of such securities for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.
Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure. Potential persons who are to respond to the collection of information contained in this form are not required to respond unless the form displays a currently valid OMB number.
