| Item 5.03 |
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
|
Effective August 18, 2025, Beyond, Inc. (the “Company”) changed its corporate name to Bed Bath & Beyond, Inc., pursuant to a certificate of
amendment (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and filed with the Delaware Secretary of
State (the “Name Change”). Pursuant to Delaware law, a stockholder vote was not necessary to effectuate the Name Change and it does not affect the rights of the Company’s stockholders. The only change to the Certificate of Incorporation is the
change of the Company’s corporate name from Beyond, Inc. to Bed Bath & Beyond, Inc. As previously disclosed, Beyond, Inc. is expected to continue to trade with ticker symbol BYON until the close of market on Thursday, August 28, 2025. Bed Bath
& Beyond, Inc. is expected to begin trading with ticker symbol BBBY when markets open on Friday, August 29, 2025.
Additionally, on August 20, 2025, the Board adopted the Fifth Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Amended and Restated Bylaws”), effective immediately.
The changes to the Amended and Restated Bylaws are intended to, among other things:
|
• |
Reflect the Name Change;
|
|
• |
Incorporate clarifying amendments to promote consistency with pre-existing provisions of Company’s Certificate of Incorporation as to the right to call a special meeting of stockholders;
|
|
• |
Delete certain provisions in Sections 2.3 and 2.4 that are redundant with certain other provisions contained in Sections 2.3, 2.4, and 2.5;
|
|
• |
Enhance procedural mechanisms and promote engagement at stockholder meetings by eliminating the ability for a vote of the majority of shares represented to adjourn a stockholder meeting;
|
|
• |
Provide for greater flexibility to stockholders voting on a proposal by removing the requirement that, with respect to matters other than the election of directors, such matters be approved by the
affirmative vote of a majority of the required quorum, while retaining the customary requirement for such matters to be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented and voting; and
|
|
• |
Make various other updates, including ministerial and conforming changes.
|
The foregoing descriptions of the Certificate of Amendment and the Amended and Restated Bylaws are qualified in their entirety by reference to, and should be read in
conjunction with, the complete text of the Certificate of Amendment and Amended and Restated Bylaws, respectively, filed herewith as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2, respectively. A marked copy of the Amended and Restated Bylaws showing all changes made to
the Company’s Fourth Amended and Restated Bylaws is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.3.
