Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This report includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws that involve risks and uncertainties concerning the Company's business, outlook, strategic repositioning and expansion into adjacent product categories, products, efforts towards sustainable growth and financial performance of Beyond Meat, Inc. (including its subsidiaries unless the context otherwise requires, "Beyond Meat," "we," "us," "our" or the "Company"). We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current opinions, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions and projections about future events and financial trends affecting the operating results and financial condition of our business. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by, which such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information available at the time those statements are made and/or management's good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to:
•a further decrease in demand, and the underlying factors negatively impacting demand, in the plant-based meat category, including the exacerbation of weakness in the category by the macroeconomic trends discussed in this report;
•the success of our marketing initiatives and the ability to maintain and grow our brand awareness, maintain, protect and enhance our brand, or rebrand altogether, attract and retain new customers and maintain and grow our market share, particularly while we are seeking to reduce our operating expenses;
•the success of our strategic repositioning to "Beyond The Plant Protein Company," including risks related to brand dilution or confusion, the failure to achieve meaningful consumer acceptance of an expanded portfolio of plant-based protein offerings across multiple categories and adjacencies, including powders, bars, beverages and center-of-plate offerings1, and the diversion of management time and financial resources from our existing business or other priorities;
•risks related to related party transactions, which may present conflicts of interest, could result in disadvantages to the Company and may impair investor confidence;
•changes in the retail landscape, including our ability to maintain and expand our distribution footprint, the timing, success and level of trade and promotion discounts, our ability to maintain and grow market share and increase household penetration, repeat purchases, buying rates (amount spent per buyer) and purchase frequency, our ability to maintain and increase sales velocity of our products, and the timing and success of our efforts to expand distribution channels, such as our direct-to-consumer (DTC) channel, and planned new products or recently launched products, including powders, bars, beverages and center-of-plate offerings;
•our ability to successfully innovate and commercialize new plant-based protein products, including in adjacent categories outside of our core, meat analog offerings, such as powders, bars, beverages and center-of-plate offerings, and consumer acceptance of such new products;
•the sufficiency of our cash and cash equivalents to meet our liquidity needs, including estimates of our expenses, future revenues, capital expenditures and capital requirements;
•our ability to obtain additional equity and/or debt financing, the terms of any such financing, and our ability to continue to bolster our balance sheet, particularly because we no longer satisfy the eligibility requirements for use of a registration statement on Form S-3 and, as a result, are unable to access our ATM Program3 (as defined in this report);
i
•risks associated with our indebtedness, leverage and liquidity relating to our significant debt, including our ability to repay, refinance, equitize and otherwise satisfy our obligations under each of the Loan and Security Agreement (as defined below), our 0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the "2027 Notes") that remain outstanding, including at their maturity on March 15, 2027, and our 7.00% Convertible Senior Secured Second Lien PIK Toggle Notes due 2030 (the "2030 Notes" and, together with the 2027 Notes, the "Notes") issued in the exchange offer related to the 2027 Notes, which was completed on October 30, 20252 (the "Exchange Offer"), and our ability to comply with the covenants in the Loan and Security Agreement and respective indentures governing the Notes, including the minimum liquidity covenants;
•our ability to raise the funds necessary to repurchase the Notes for cash, under certain circumstances, or to pay any cash amounts due under the Notes;
•the impact of the Exchange Offer on future availability of our pre-change net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes to offset our future net taxable income; the annual limitations on utilization of any remaining operating loss and tax credit carryforwards due to ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code and similar state tax provisions, and the outcomes of any related audits or examinations;
•the significant dilution to our stockholders that resulted from the Exchange Offer and the additional dilution that resulted and will continue to result if we continue to exchange any portion of our outstanding Notes for equity, issue shares of our common stock with respect to the 2030 Notes (including any 2030 Notes issued as payment-in-kind interest on such 2030 Notes), including in connection with conversions of the 2030 Notes at our opt
