Merger Agreement), dated April 4, 2017, among the Company, Rye Parent Corp., a Delaware corporation (Parent), Rye Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (Merger Sub),
and JAB Holdings B.V., a private limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands. The Merger Agreement provides for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the Merger), with the Company surviving the
Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. The Company filed its definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A for the special meeting with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 1, 2017 (the Definitive Proxy Statement).

the case of Class B common stock, three votes per such share. At the Special Meeting, a total of 16,531,997 shares of Class A common stock and 1,312,728 shares of Class B common stock, representing approximately 80.26% of the combined voting
