Explanatory Note
On April 15, 2026, Beyond Meat, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a distribution agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) with Big Geyser, Inc. (“Big Geyser”), pursuant to which Big Geyser will sell, distribute, market and assist in the promotion of the Company’s products. On June 22, 2026, in connection with the Distribution Agreement, the Company and Big Geyser entered into two separate warrant agreements (each as further described below) setting forth the rights and obligations of the Company and Big Geyser in connection with warrants representing Big Geyser’s right to purchase up to, in the aggregate, 4,166,667 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”) (which represents 0.8% of Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of June 22, 2026).
Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Tranche 1 Warrant Agreement
The first warrant (the “Tranche 1 Warrant”) entitles Big Geyser to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.60 per share. The Tranche 1 Warrant is exercisable by Big Geyser, in whole or in part, at any time, or from time to time, prior to the expiration of the warrant agreement governing the Tranche 1 Warrant (the “Tranche 1 Warrant Agreement”), by tendering to the Company at its principal office a notice of exercise. Promptly upon receipt of such exercise notice and the payment of the exercise price, and in no event later than two (2) business days thereafter, the Company will issue to Big Geyser the whole number of shares of Common Stock purchased plus an amount in cash representing any fractional share of Common Stock otherwise due upon such exercise.
The Tranche 1 Warrant will be exercisable by payment in cash from time to time until or prior to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the eighteen-month anniversary of the initial issuance of the Tranche 1 Warrant. The Tranche 1 Warrant is subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the Tranche 1 Warrant Agreement, including a weighted average adjustment for certain below-market issuances of equity or equity-linked securities, subject to exceptions set forth in the Tranche 1 Warrant Agreement. The Tranche 1 Warrant may not be transferred or assigned to any person other than Permitted Transferees (as defined in the Tranche 1 Warrant Agreement) without the prior written consent of the Company.
The foregoing description of the Tranche 1 Warrant Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Tranche 1 Warrant Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Tranche 2 Warrant Agreement
The second warrant (the “Tranche 2 Warrant” and, together with the Tranche 1 Warrant, the “Warrants”) entitles Big Geyser to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,666,667 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.001 per share.
The Tranche 2 Warrant is exercisable by Big Geyser, in whole or in part, at any time, or from time to time, prior to the expiration of the warrant agreement governing the Tranche 2 Warrant (the “Tranche 2 Warrant Agreement” and, together with the Tranche 1 Warrant Agreement, the “Warrant Agreements”), by tendering to the Company at its principal office a notice of exercise. Promptly upon receipt of such exercise notice and the payment of the exercise price, and in no event later than two (2) business days thereafter, the Company will issue to Big Geyser the whole
number of shares of Common Stock purchased plus an amount in cash representing any fractional share of Common Stock otherwise due upon such exercise.
The Tranche 2 Warrant will be exercisable by payment in cash or by way of “Net-Share Settlement” (as defined in the Tranche 2 Warrant Agreement) from time to time until or prior to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the 20th business day following the expiration of the Distribution Agreement. The Tranche 2 Warrant is subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the Tranche 2 Warrant Agreement, including a weighted average adjustment for certain below-market issuances of equity or equity-linked securities, subject to exceptions set forth in the Tranche 2 Warrant Agreement. The Tranche 2 Warrant may not be transferred or assigned to any person other than Permitted Transferees (as defined in the Tranche 2 Warrant Agreement) without the prior written consent of the Company.
The foregoing description of the Tranche 2 Warrant Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Tranche 2 Warrant Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 4.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
On June 22, 2026, the Company entered into the Warrant Agreements, pursuant to which it issued Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock in a private placement in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The information contained in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.
Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These statements are based on management’s current opinions, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or projections regarding future events or future results. Forward-looking statements include statements regarding the timing and amount of any vesting of Warrants. These forward-looking statements are only predictions, not historical fact, and involve certain risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions. Actual results, levels of activity, performance, achievements and events could differ materially from those stated, anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements. While the Company believes that its assumptions are reasonable, it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and, of course, it is impossible to anticipate all factors that could affect actual results. There are many risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements made or implied herein including the risks discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 9, 2026 and the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 28, 2026 filed with the SEC on May 7, 2026, as well as other factors described from time to time in the Company’s filings with the SEC. Such forward-looking statements are made only as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement because of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law. If it does update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be made that the Company will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.
