## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1** 

**Beyond Meat Announces Determination of Conversion Rate for 7.00% Convertible Senior** 

**Secured Second Lien PIK Toggle Notes due 2030** 

**El Segundo, California. (November 14, 2025) -** Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ: BYND) (the "Company" or "Beyond Meat"), a leader in plant-based meat, today announced the initial conversion rate for its 7.00% Convertible Senior Secured Second Lien PIK Toggle Notes due 2030 (the "2030 Convertible Notes") will be 572.7784 shares of the Company's common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2030 Convertible Notes, which represents a conversion price of approximately $1.7459 per share of common stock.

The initial conversion rate applicable to the 2030 Convertible Notes was calculated as the lesser of (i) 1,029.2716 and (ii) 1,000 divided by 110% of the average of the daily per share volume-weighted average prices for the 20 trading day period beginning on October 16, 2025, and excluding trading days on which a market disruption event was determined to have occurred. A market disruption event was determined to have occurred on October 22, 2025, for purposes of such calculation.

Based on the initial conversion rate determined above, the final version of the make-whole table for the 2030 Convertible Notes is set forth below, which sets forth, based on hypothetical stock prices and effective dates, the number of additional shares of common stock to be added to the conversion rate for each $1,000 principal amount of 2030 Convertible Notes converted in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change (as defined in the indenture governing the 2030 Convertible Notes):

Prior to obtaining stockholder approval of certain proposals that will allow the issuance of common stock pursuant to the terms of the 2030 Convertible Notes, which is expected to be sought at the special meeting of stockholders scheduled for November 19, 2025 (the "Special Meeting"), the Company will be permitted to satisfy its obligations upon conversion of the 2030 Convertible Notes only in the form of cash settlement. Following such stockholder approval, the Company will be permitted to satisfy its obligations under the 2030 Convertible Notes with any settlement method the Company is otherwise permitted to elect, including by physical settlement with shares of common stock. A holder of 2030 Convertible Notes will not be permitted to convert its 2030 Convertible Notes at any time prior to the earlier of (i) the date of the first special meeting at which the Company seeks stockholder approval of such proposals, whether or not such approvals are obtained and (ii) December 15, 2025.

------

The Company recently issued 317,834,446 shares of common stock in connection with the exchange offer that expired on October 28, 2025, for its 0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the "Exchange Offer"), and up to approximately 120 million additional shares may be issuable upon conversion of the 2030 Convertible Notes at the base conversion rate (prior to giving effect to any make-whole payments payable upon such conversion) following stockholder approval of such conversions, in addition to issuances of common stock in connection with the payment of interest in the form of common stock, mandatory equitizations and issuances with respect to additional 2030 Convertible Notes issued as payment-in-kind interest, that, in each case, may be resold in the public market.
