Explanatory Note

     This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (the “Amendment”) updates information provided on a previous Current Report on Form 8-K filed June 15, 2011 (the “Original Form 8-K”) under Item 5.07, Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders, associated with the annual meeting of the shareholders of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Inc. (the “Company”) held on June 14, 2011. The sole purpose of this Amendment is to disclose the Company’s decision regarding the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers.

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

     As previously reported in the Original Form 8-K, and incorporated herein by reference, a majority of the Company’s outstanding shares voted, on an advisory basis and in line with the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors, to hold an advisory vote on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers every year. The Company has determined that it currently intends to include an advisory vote on the compensation of its named executive officers in its proxy materials for each annual meeting of shareholders until the next required vote on the frequency of shareholder votes on the compensation of its named executive officers, which will occur no later than the Company’s 2017 annual meeting of shareholders.
