Proxy materials cover board elections, compensation and stockholder voting.

Beyond Meat, Inc. is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 within the prescribed time. The company says it needs additional time to complete a review and analysis of its inventory balances, including the provision for excess and obsolete inventory.
The company currently expects to finalize the review and file the Form 10-K no later than March 31, 2026, but the timing may be subject to further delay. It also expects to report a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, related to controls over the inventory provision, and is developing a remediation plan.
Beyond Meat, Inc. reported that it will delay filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 while it completes a review of its inventory balances, including provisions for excess and obsolete inventory. Management expects to file the report by March 31, 2026, but the timing may be further delayed.
The company disclosed preliminary, unaudited estimates showing net revenues of approximately $61 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, in line with prior guidance of $60 million to $65 million, and approximately $275 million for full-year 2025. These figures are subject to completion of closing procedures and audit and may change, potentially materially.
Management expects to report that a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting existed as of December 31, 2025, related to accounting for the inventory provision. As a result of this and previously identified material weaknesses, Beyond Meat believes its internal control over financial reporting and its disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of that date. The company plans to report fourth quarter and full-year 2025 results on March 25, 2026 and host a conference call to discuss them.
Beyond Meat, Inc. reported that Nasdaq notified the company on March 4, 2026 that its common stock has failed to meet the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for the last 30 consecutive business days. The stock remains listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under “BYND” for now.
The company has 180 calendar days, until August 31, 2026, for its closing bid price to reach at least $1.00 for ten consecutive business days to regain compliance. If it cannot, Beyond Meat may seek a transfer to the Nasdaq Capital Market and request an additional 180-day period, subject to meeting other listing standards.
Stockholders previously approved amendments on November 19, 2025 that allow the board to implement a reverse stock split and reduce authorized shares, which the board may use to help restore compliance. The company cautions there is no assurance it will satisfy Nasdaq’s listing rules.
