EXPLANATORY NOTE
 
This Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) is being filed solely to correct two typographical errors in the Form 8-K filed by Farmer Bros. Co., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) on July 23, 2019 (the “Original Report”). The first line of Item 5.02 of the Original Report inadvertently: (1) referred to “(a),” which reference should have been to “(b)” and (2) referred to “July 17, 2018,” which reference should have been to “July 17, 2019”. Those errors have been corrected in the Item 5.02 disclosure reproduced below. The Original Report otherwise remains unchanged.


Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(b)     On July 17, 2019, by mutual agreement with Farmer Bros. Co., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), Tom Mattei voluntarily resigned from his position as Chief Legal Counsel of the Company, effective as of July 19, 2019, to pursue other opportunities. In connection with his resignation, the Company and Mr. Mattei entered into a Separation and Release Agreement (the “Separation Agreement”) regarding the resignation for good reason. Subject to the terms of the Separation Agreement, including effectiveness of a general release of claims against the Company, Mr. Mattei will be entitled to receive twelve months of severance pay, partial reimbursement for COBRA coverage up to one year, and assistance with job placement. The foregoing description of the Separation Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Separation Agreement filed with the Original Report as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
