EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Aug. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ:BYND) (the "Company") today announced that its board of directors (the "Board") has selected a 1-for-30 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock and a proportionate reduction in the number of authorized shares of common stock (and a corresponding decrease in the total number of authorized shares of capital stock). At a special meeting held on November 19, 2025, the Company’s stockholders approved thirty alternate amendments to the Company’s restated certificate of incorporation to effect a reverse stock split at one of thirty reverse stock split ratios, with the exact ratio to be determined by the Board.

No fractional shares of common stock will be issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Instead, the Company will issue to holders of record who are entitled to a fraction of a share as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, a fraction of a share of common stock as is necessary to round up to the nearest whole share. For shares held through The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), fractions of shares will be issued as is necessary to round up to the nearest whole share at the DTC participant level. Brokers, banks or other nominees holding shares in "street name" will be instructed to effect the reverse stock split for their beneficial holders; however, such brokers, banks or other nominees may apply their own specific procedures for processing the reverse stock split.

Upon the effectiveness of the reverse stock split, the conversion rates of the Company’s outstanding convertible notes, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants and the exercise prices thereof, and the number of shares subject to outstanding equity awards under the Company’s equity incentive plans (and the applicable exercise prices thereof), will each be proportionately adjusted pursuant to their respective terms and as determined by the Board to reflect the 1-for-30 reverse stock split ratio. In addition, the number of shares reserved for future issuance under the Company’s equity incentive plans will be proportionately reduced.
