     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.
