UNION, N.J., July 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Bed Bath &
Beyond Inc. (Nasdaq: BBBY) today announced a change in the format
and location of its 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. In light
of the continued public health concerns regarding the COVID-19
pandemic, and to protect the well-being of our shareholders, the
Annual Meeting will be held solely by remote communication, in a
"virtual-only" format. Shareholders will no longer have the option
to attend the Annual Meeting in person. The meeting will still be
held on Tuesday, July 14, 2020 at
10:00 A.M., Eastern Daylight
Time.
The meeting will be webcast and can be accessed by shareholders
at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/BBBY2020. Only shareholders
that log in using the 16-digit control number provided to them
either on their proxy card or voting instruction form will be able
to vote and submit questions during the Annual Meeting. The Company
has designed the format of the Annual Meeting to ensure that
shareholders are afforded similar opportunities to participate as
they would at an in-person meeting, using online tools to ensure
shareholder access and participation.
As described in the proxy materials for the Annual Meeting,
shareholders are entitled to attend and vote at the Annual Meeting
if they held Bed Bath shares as of the close of business on
June 5, 2020, the record date for the
Annual Meeting. To learn more about accessing the virtual meeting,
please refer to the Company's Notice of Change of Format and
Location filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on
