Bed Bath & Beyond, Inc. Provides Additional Details on the Dividend of Warrants to Shareholders
Bed Bath & Beyond, Inc. (NYSE:BBBY) (the "Company"), owner of Bed Bath & Beyond, Overstock, buybuy BABY, and a blockchain asset portfolio, today announced additional details regarding its special dividend to be distributed in the form of warrants to holders of the Company's common stock. As a reminder, the warrant dividend will be distributed to each shareholder of record as of October 2, 2025 (the "Record Date").
As previously announced, each registered shareholder as of the Record Date will receive one (1) warrant for every ten (10) shares of Company common stock held, rounded down to the nearest whole warrant.
Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $15.50, until the warrants expire on October 7, 2026 (the "Expiration Date"), unless the "Alternate Expiration Date Price Condition" is met. The Alternate Expiration Date Price Condition is satisfied if the Company's common stock equals or exceeds $18.60 (the "Alternate Expiration Trigger") for at least 20 trading days out of a 30-trading day period ("Alternate Expiration Date"), at which point the Company has the right but not the obligation to accelerate the expiration date of the warrants to the business day immediately following the Alternate Expiration Date.
The Company expects to distribute the warrants on or around Tuesday, October 7, 2025 (the "Distribution Date"), and the warrants will be eligible to be exercised upon the date that a registration statement on Form S-3 registering the issuance of the shares upon exercise of the of the warrants has been declared effective by the SEC (the "Exercise Start Date"). The warrants will be issued without any action required by the Company's shareholders as of the Record Date and without any payment of cash or other consideration.
As a reminder, holders can only exercise a warrant by paying the exercise price to acquire the shares of common stock in cash. Following the Distribution Date, the warrants are expected to be freely tradable and listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker BBBY WS. Recipients of the warrants will be able to trade their warrants or exercise any warrants in accordance with the warrant agreement, irrespective of whether they continue to hold shares of common stock.
