SEC filing1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. finalized separation arrangements effective April 17, 2026, with former President Thomas Hartnett, providing 68 weeks of severance payments totaling $823,846 and accelerated equity vesting.
The separation of Thomas Hartnett, who served as President before transitioning to Special Advisor in November 2025 and fully departing in February 2026, includes substantial compensatory terms signaling a negotiated exit. Key elements like 68 weeks of salary continuation ($823,846 total) and accelerated equity vesting provide financial security, potentially mitigating litigation risk via the general release. The pro rata bonus ties to company performance under the Sharing Success Plan, aligning interests post-departure. Extension of stock options preserves value for Hartnett, while restrictive covenants protect company interests. This executive change in a key operational role may impact leadership continuity, though transition assistance was provided.
