The company exchanged $1.15 billion of 0% notes due 2027, with early settlement on October 15 covering 96.92% ($1,114,603,000) of notes, issuing 316,150,176 new shares and $208,717,000 of 7.00% Convertible Senior Secured Second Lien PIK Toggle Notes due 2030.

The company issued $196,217,000 of new 7.00% Convertible Senior Secured Second Lien PIK Toggle Notes due 2030 and 316,150,176 new common shares, plus an additional $12.5 million of new notes as a premium, totaling $208,717,000 in new notes. Following cancellation of tendered notes, $35,397,000 of the 2027 notes remain outstanding.

The new notes are second‑lien, pay 7.00% cash interest (or 9.50% PIK), and are initially cash‑settled upon conversion until stockholder approvals permit share settlement. The initial conversion rate is the lesser of 1,029.2716 shares per $1,000 or a rate based on a 10% premium to a reference price over a 20‑day observation period. Covenants include a $15.0 million minimum liquidity test and limits tied to the remaining 2027 notes, including a $60.0 million cap on cash repayment at maturity (subject to increase via equity raises). An intercreditor agreement subordinates the new notes to first‑lien obligations. Board changes and short, time‑bound voting/lock‑up commitments were also disclosed.

Beyond Meat (BYND) reported an insider transaction by Chief Operations Officer Jonathan P. Nelson.

Following this administrative withholding, Nelson beneficially owns 99,918 shares directly.

This is a routine tax-withholding event associated with equity compensation vesting, not an open‑market sale.
