Beyond Meat, Inc(BYND) stock dropped 6.3% to $1.85, after it completed the final phase of its $1.1 billion convertible note exchange. The stock fell after testing resistance near $1.98, as weak price recovery showed limited buying interest. The latest developments in the exchange deal capped a volatile trading session for BYND stock.
Final Exchange Deal Wraps Up with 97.16% Notes Tendered
BYND completed its exchange offer for its 0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027. The company replaced them with new 7.00% Convertible Senior Secured Second Lien PIK Toggle Notes due 2030 and shares. It finalized this offer on October 28, 2025, marking the end of the exchange period.
The early tender period saw $1.114 billion in notes submitted and settled on October 15, 2025. A further $2.738 million in notes came in before the final October 28 deadline. BYND will settle those remaining submissions on October 30, 2025.
The company has now issued $209.18 million in new notes and 316.9 million new shares through this exchange. Following this, only $32.6 million of the original notes remain outstanding. This represents 97.16% of the total principal swapped under the offer.
Stock Slides as Exchange Triggers Dilution Pressure
BYND stock faced downside pressure due to the equity issuance linked to the exchange offer. The company issued over 316 million new shares as part of the transaction, increasing supply in the open market. The resulting dilution has weighed heavily on the stock’s recent performance.
The price fell by 6.3%, with the $1.98 resistance level rejected during intraday trading. Weak recovery toward session close further confirmed ongoing sell pressure. BYND continues to see weak sentiment surrounding its stock price.h
The company’s long-term outlook remains uncertain, despite completing this financial restructuring. The stock has faced persistent selling and remains under pressure due to macroeconomic challenges. This latest financial move may improve debt structure, but equity holders have reacted negatively.
Offering Terms Target Institutional Holders Only
BYND limited its exchange offer to institutional and accredited holders with minimum $200,000 note holdings. The transaction targeted qualified institutional buyers and accredited investors under the Securities Act. These holders received both new notes and common stock for each $1,000 tendered.
Those participating after the early tender date received fewer new notes and shares per unit of old debt. Early participants gained more favorable conversion terms compared to later tenders. Settlement for the final batch is scheduled for October 30, 2025.
The new securities are not registered under federal securities laws and will remain restricted. BYND made clear that the exchange offer is not a public solicitation. The transaction concluded with the cancellation of the tendered notes and amending the original indenture.
BYND now focuses on regaining momentum, but its path remains challenged. The latest exchange was a major step, yet BYND stock continues to face selling pressure. The completion of the offer may not bring immediate relief to the share price.
