• 2030 Note Indenture Amended

  On August 10, 2026, Beyond Meat entered into a Second Supplemental Indenture with Wilmington Trust, amending the 2030 Notes indenture to remove restrictions on repurchasing 2027 Notes and extend the make-whole period to January 15, 2029.

• 2027 Note Repurchase Path Cleared

  The amendment allows Beyond Meat to repurchase or exchange its 2027 Notes for cash at up to par, or for equity at a price not exceeding the trading price plus a premium of up to $0.05 per $1.00 principal, removing prior limitations.

• Make-Whole Period Extended

  The make-whole period for 2030 Notes conversions was extended from October 15, 2028 to January 15, 2029, increasing the number of additional shares issuable upon early conversion and capping the conversion rate at 1,029.2716 shares per $1,000 principal.

• Consent from Majority of Holders

  The amendments were approved by holders of a majority of the outstanding 2030 Notes, as required under the indenture, and became effective immediately upon execution.

Securing consent from a majority of 2030 Note holders, Beyond Meat amended the indenture to remove restrictions that had blocked repurchases of its 2027 Notes for cash or equity. This clears a path to reduce near-term debt overhang. The amendment also extends the make-whole period on 2030 Notes by three months, increasing potential dilution if holders convert early. With the stock at $0.55 and a market cap of $277M, the ability to retire 2027 Notes at a discount could improve the balance sheet, but the extended make-whole feature adds conversion risk.
