Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On June 24, 2026, in connection with the workforce realignment described under Item 8.01 below, BellRing Brands, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that Douglas J. Cornille will step down from his role as the Company’s Chief Growth Officer, effective as of June 24, 2026, and depart the Company effective as of September 1, 2026. Mr. Cornille will receive benefits he is entitled to in connection with a termination of employment without “cause” under the BellRing Brands, Inc. 2019 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”) and underlying award agreements thereunder and the Company’s Severance and Change in Control Agreement with Mr. Cornille (the “Severance Agreement”). The terms of the LTIP and Severance Agreement, and the payments and benefits Mr. Cornille is entitled to receive thereunder, are described in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 16, 2025.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
On June 24, 2026, the Company approved, as part of its ongoing efforts to further streamline operations, workforce realignment actions designed to optimize and support the Company’s financial and operational efficiency.
The Company expects that such workforce realignment efforts, once completed, will result in annualized run-rate operating expense savings of approximately $10 to $12 million before taxes, of which approximately $3 million consists of non-cash stock compensation. The Company expects to begin realizing these savings in the fourth quarter of the Company’s fiscal 2026 with the majority expected in fiscal 2027.
The Company estimates that it will incur one-time workforce realignment charges of approximately $6 million, primarily consisting of future cash expenditures for severance and related benefits. These costs are expected to be incurred primarily in the third quarter of fiscal 2026, and the Company expects that the related actions will be substantially complete by the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2026.
The estimate of costs that the Company expects to incur and savings that the Company expects to achieve, and the timing thereof, are subject to a number of assumptions and actual results may differ from current expectations. The Company may also incur charges and expenditures not currently contemplated due to unanticipated events that may occur in connection with the foregoing. The Company may revise its estimates, as appropriate, consistent with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
