This filing is a governance update with no new financials. The AI transformation focus and D. E. Shaw's continued involvement are modest positives, but the real catalyst will be the Jetro Restaurant Depot acquisition closing and FY2027 results. Monitor for regulatory approval updates on the JRD deal and next quarter's earnings for execution on the cost-savings program.
