Insights

Corporate Governance Analyst

Form 144 shows an affiliate intends to sell vested restricted shares, including a large 338,420‑share lot.

The filing lists multiple vested restricted stock lots across dates but consolidates the proposed sale date as 04/14/2026. A Form 144 is a required notice for affiliate sales and does not itself execute a trade.

Cash proceeds, buyer counterparties, and exact timing beyond the listed sale date are not provided in the excerpt; subsequent transaction reporting (e.g., Form 4) would confirm completed sales and post‑transaction holdings.

FAQ

What did Beyond Meat (BYND) report in the Form 144?

The filing reports proposed sales of vested restricted common shares, including 338,420 shares listed for sale on 04/14/2026. It lists multiple additional vested‑RSU lots scheduled as cash transactions on the same date.

Does the Form 144 mean the shares have already been sold?

No. A Form 144 notifies the SEC of an affiliate's intent to sell; it does not confirm completion. Actual sales would be reflected in later transaction filings such as a Form 4 or broker reports.

Which types of securities are listed in the filing for BYND?

The filing lists Common stock comprised of Vested Restricted Shares, identified as cash transactions. The securities are specified for sale on the NASDAQ market with the stated sale date.

What is the largest lot reported in the BYND Form 144?

The largest lot explicitly listed is 338,420 shares, shown with an intended sale date of 04/14/2026. Several smaller vested‑RSU lots are listed alongside this primary lot.

Will this Form 144 change BYND's outstanding share count?

Not by itself. Form 144 reports intended resale of existing vested shares; outstanding share count changes only if and when the shares are sold in the market and reported in subsequent filings.
