Item 5.02. Departure
of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On
August 3, 2026, Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, Inc. (the “Company”) held its 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual
Meeting”) virtually via live webcast. At the Annual Meeting, the stockholders of the Company approved an amendment to the Company’s
2024 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended (the “2024 Plan”), to increase the number of shares of the Company’s
common stock, $0.001 par value per share, authorized for issuance under the 2024 Plan by 530,000 shares of common stock (the “Plan
Amendment”).
A description of the material terms and conditions
of the Plan Amendment is set forth beginning on page 39 of the Company's Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on June 29, 2026 (the "Proxy Statement"), and is incorporated herein by reference. The description of
the Plan Amendment incorporated herein by reference does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
full text of the Plan Increase Amendment, attached to this report as Exhibit 10.1, and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
At the close of business on June 26, 2026, the record date for the
Annual Meeting (the “Record Date”), there were 9,439,587 shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding,
which constituted all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company. This outstanding share number reflects an immaterial
decrease from that included in the Proxy Statement.
At the Annual Meeting, 7,773,032 shares of the
Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote as of the Record Date, or approximately 82.35% of such
shares, were represented by proxy or appeared in person (including virtually) and, therefore, a quorum was present.
The proposals voted on at the Annual Meeting are
more fully described in the Proxy Statement.
The final voting results on the proposals presented
for stockholder approval at the Annual Meeting are as follows:
Proposal 1 - Election of Directors. Each of Steven L.
Craig, Jeffrey R. Geygan, Mel Keating, Brian Quinn, and Alberto Pérez-Jácome Friscione was elected as a director to serve

are elected and qualified as follows:

2024 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN
This Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Rocky Mountain
Chocolate Factory, Inc. 2024 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2024 Plan”) is adopted as of August 3, 2026.
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the 2024 Plan originally reserved 600,000 shares
for issuance pursuant to Awards;
WHEREAS, as of the date of this Amendment, a portion of the
original 600,000 shares have been issued or are subject to outstanding Awards under the 2024 Plan, and a portion remain available for
future grant;
WHEREAS, the Company desires to increase the number of shares
available for issuance under the 2024 Plan by an additional 530,000 shares;
Amendment to Section 4.1 Number of Shares Available for
Grants.
Section 4.1 of the 2024 Plan is hereby amended to increase the
aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2024 Plan by 530,000 shares, irrespective of the number of shares that have
previously been issued or remain available under the 2024 Plan as of the date hereof.
Accordingly, the first sentence of Section 4.1 is amended and
restated as follows:
“Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.2 and except

shall be 1,130,000 shares, plus (ii) that number of Shares remaining available for issuance as of the Effective Date under the Prior
Plan (that is, Shares not subject to outstanding awards under the Prior Plan nor delivered from the Shares reserved under the Prior Plan),
plus (iii) that number of Shares subject to awards granted under the Prior Plan that are outstanding as of the Effective Date and
which become available in accordance with the provisions below after stockholder approval of the Plan.”
Except as expressly set forth herein, the 2024 Plan remains unchanged
and in full force and effect.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has adopted this Amendment as of the
date first written above.
