The coffee and soda maker didn’t detail the violations but said in a statement Thursday that they were “unrelated to strategy, operations or financial reporting.”. Gamgort, 60, the first CEO of the four-year-old company, had agreed to stay on as executive chairman for two years. “I look forward to continuing to work with the leadership team and the board in the role I held less than four months ago,” Gamgort said in the Thursday statement.

The company has been active in dealmaking efforts, engaging in failed talks this summer to acquire the maker of Bang Energy drinks and taking a minority stake this week in nonalcoholic brewer Athletic Brewing Co.
