The notice does not immediately affect trading, the California-based alternative protein producer said.
Beyond Meat faces a potential delisting from the Nasdaq Global Select Market after its shares traded below the minimum threshold of $1 for 30 straight business days.
In a SEC filing on Friday (6 March), the loss-making plant-based meat maker said it received a deficiency letter from NasdaqaEUR(TM)s Listing Qualifications Department on 4 March.
The notice does not immediately affect trading, the California-based alternative protein producer said.
Its shares will continue to trade under the BYND ticker for now.
Beyond MeataEUR(TM)s stock slid through $1 late last year and has traded below that level for most of 2026. The shares have slumped almost 76% in the past 12 months and last traded at $0.79.
TheAwarning lands after a bruising periodAmarked by falling sales and volumes, widening losses and balance-sheet strains. The company has not turned a profit since going public through an IPO in 2019.
Investors are awaiting the issuance of Beyond Meat's results for the final quarter of fiscal 2025 for signs of any turnaround.
Beyond Meat has 180 calendar days to regain Nasdaq listing compliance, giving it until 31 August.
aEURoeTo regain compliance, the closing bid price of the companyaEUR(TM)s common stock must be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days before the compliance date,aEUR the filing read.
If Beyond Meat fails to meet the threshold by then, the company may qualify for a second 180-day period.
That would require a transfer to the Nasdaq Capital Market and meeting other continued listing standards, apart from the bid-price rule.
In addition, Beyond Meat would be required to aEURoenotify Nasdaq of its intent to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split if necessaryaEUR.
Beyond Meat said it will aEURoemonitor the closing bid price of its common stock and may, if appropriate, consider available options to regain complianceaEUR, including aEURoeinitiating a reverse stock splitaEUR.
Shareholders already approved flexibility for such a move in November 2025, according to the SEC filing.
At a special meeting, investors backed 30 alternate amendments allowing the board to initiate a reverse split ratio if needed.
Management had alreadyAoutlined a turnaround aEURoeresetaEUR, including cost reductions, margin expansionAeffortsAand unspecified strategic initiatives.
In late 2025, Beyond Meat launched and thenAcompleted a debt exchangeAaimed at eliminating more than $800m in debt, triggering a slide in its shares below $1.
The transaction extended maturities to 2030 but increased interest costs and triggered equity dilution.
In November, theAcompany reported a $77.4m impairment charge tied to long-lived assets and the previously reported wind-down of its China operations.
Beyond Meat also pointed to arbitration-related legal expenses and other non-routine costs.
In January,Ashareholders filed lawsuitsAalleging disclosure failings linked to the impairment and related SEC filing delays.
