On October 23, 2025, 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. (the “Company”) filed its definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders scheduled to be held on December 10, 2025. This supplement contains additional information relating to the transition of and departure of certain senior executives of the Company and updates the disclosure regarding the proposed increase in the authorized shares under the Company’s 2003 Long Term Incentive and Share Award Plan (the “Plan”) as set forth in Proposal 3 in the Proxy Statement (the “Proposal”).
Regarding the Proposal, the Company previously stated that the proposed increase in shares was estimated to be sufficient to fund the equity compensation program for approximately three years. This statement is hereby amended to reflect that the proposed increase in shares is estimated to be sufficient to fund the equity compensation program for at least one year, based on performance of the Company’s stock, current grant practices, and anticipated future needs. All other terms and conditions of the proposed share increase and the equity compensation plan as set forth in the Proxy Statement remain unchanged.
On November 3, 2025, Joseph Rowland transitioned from his role as President of the Gourmet Foods and Gift Baskets segment of the Company to the role of Special Advisor to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Rowland will assist in the transition of his role until his departure from the Company.
On November 3, 2025, Thomas Hartnett transitioned from his role as President of the Company to the role of Special Advisor to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Hartnett will assist in the transition of his role until his departure from the Company.
