BEDMINSTER, N.J., Nov. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Freshpet, Inc. (\u201cFreshpet\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d) (Nasdaq: FRPT) today announced that Billy Cyr, Chief Executive Officer, and various family members and independently managed trusts established for his family, intend to adopt prearranged trading plans in order to exercise options granted in 2016 which expire on September 6, 2026 and to sell shares necessary to cover the exercise price, taxes and various estate planning needs. These plans will not include any other Freshpet equity beyond the options subject to expiration in 2026. The stock trading plan is expected to be adopted during the upcoming open trading window in accordance with the guidelines specified under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and under SEC rules, shares cannot be sold as part of this plan until after the Company reports its fourth quarter financial results in February 2026.<\/p>\n

Mr. Cyr and his various family members and trusts currently hold 1,322,737 shares of common stock, which represents approximately 2.71% of Freshpet\u2019s shares outstanding. After execution of the plan, Mr. Cyr and his various family members and trusts plan to continue to beneficially own all other Freshpet equity that Mr. Cyr has been granted or acquired in the open market plus any shares he chooses to retain after the exercise of these options, which would total at least 350,000 shares of Freshpet stock.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the nine years I have been CEO of Freshpet, I have never sold a share and have acquired shares worth more than $4 million in the open market at today\u2019s prices and I am only planning to take these actions over the next year because the options are nearing expiration,\u201d commented Billy Cyr, Freshpet\u2019s Chief Executive Officer. \u201cI will continue to hold a sizeable position in Freshpet because I firmly believe Freshpet is a great investment that will drive long-term shareholder value.\u201d<\/p>\n
