Beyond Meat Announces 1-for-30 Reverse Stock Split

What Happened
Beyond Meat, Inc. (BYND) announced that its board selected a 1-for-30 reverse stock split, effective August 13, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. ET, following shareholder approval of alternate amendment options on November 19, 2025. Shares are expected to trade on a split‑adjusted basis on the Nasdaq Global Select Market at market open on August 14, 2026 under the existing ticker “BYND” and a new CUSIP (08862E307). The action also includes a reduction in authorized common shares.

Key Details

• Reverse split ratio: 1-for-30; every 30 pre-split shares will be combined into 1 post-split share.
• Authorized share reduction: authorized common shares cut from 3,000,000,000 to 100,000,000; total authorized capital stock reduced from 3,000,500,000 to 100,500,000.
• Fractional shares: no fractional shares issued to holders; company (and DTC participants at the participant level) will round up fractional entitlements to the nearest whole share; brokers may apply their own procedures for street‑name holders.
• Securities adjustments: conversion rates for outstanding convertible notes, shares issuable under warrants, exercise prices, and outstanding equity awards (and shares reserved under equity plans) will be proportionately adjusted to reflect the 1-for-30 split.

Why It Matters
The reverse split is intended to help Beyond Meat meet Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement to maintain its listing. For investors, the split will reduce the number of outstanding shares and adjust per-share metrics (price, shares outstanding, equity awards, convertible and warrant terms) proportionally—economic ownership percentage and aggregate value should remain unchanged aside from market reaction. Watch for trading on August 14, 2026 (split-adjusted) and company disclosures on post-split share counts and any further Nasdaq compliance updates.
