Amended Ownership Details for Midera Food Processing Director Cathy L. McCarthy

According to the amended filing, Cathy L. McCarthy, a Director of Midera Food Processing, Inc., a food processing company spun off from The Middleby Corporation, reported two separate transactions in common stock dated July 30, 2026. The first involved the vesting of 1,870 time-based restricted stock units (RSUs), each representing a contingent right to receive one share of common stock. The filing notes that these RSUs "vested in full on July 30, 2026," and that vested shares "will be issued to the reporting person after the applicable vesting date." Following this transaction, McCarthy's directly held beneficial ownership stood at 11,589 shares.

The second transaction recorded an acquisition of 3,802 time-based RSUs, which the filing states "will vest in full on March 19, 2027." After this acquisition, McCarthy's directly held share count, as reported, increased to 15,391. The filing further explains that the 11,589-share figure includes 9,719 shares obtained through a distribution connected to the spin-off of Midera Food Processing from Middleby, characterized as "an exempt acquisition pursuant to Rule 16a-9 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended."

The amendment was necessitated by what the filing describes as "an administrative error" in the original Form 4 filed on August 3, 2026. That original filing had incorrectly reported an acquisition of 5,062 time-based RSUs arising from the conversion of corresponding Middleby RSUs in connection with the spin-off. The amended filing states that "such acquisition did not occur" and that "the Middleby RSUs were forfeited for no consideration." The amendment was signed by James J. Drake under a power of attorney on August 31, 2026, and all ownership reported is held directly.

What Was Disclosed
