Special Note to Stockholders

On behalf of the Beyond, Inc. Board of Directors and our executive management team, I’m proud to recognize the substantial progress that was made in the last quarter of 2023 to kick-start a strategic business transformation that we believe will set us up for long-term success. Since Beyond, Inc. launched in November 2023, significant progress has been made to lay the foundation for a high growth, differentiated business model with high customer affinity.

Our extreme focus is to build the business quickly and effectively. At the center of this is a high-performing team, led by a group of innovative and talented retail executives. After my recent appointment as Executive Chairman of the Beyond, Inc. Board in February 2024, ecommerce veteran Chandra Holt joined us as the Division Chief Executive Officer, Bed Bath & Beyond, Dave Nielsen was appointed to Division Chief Executive Officer, Overstock, and Adrianne Lee, our Chief Financial Officer, took on an expanded role as Chief Financial & Administrative Officer. I am impressed by Chandra, Dave, and Adrianne’s collective wealth of experience and am excited about the impact their leadership will have on our business.

With the right leaders in place, the team is executing well against our strategic priorities, including expanded customer offerings, heightened operational excellence, and enhanced stockholder value.

In February 2024, we announced that our active customers had returned to year-over-year growth for the first time in three years, with over 700,000 customers added to our customer file. We also announced our plans to launch additional brands that will allow us to reach the end consumer for the things they’re looking to buy at various life stages, including Baby & Beyond, Kids & Beyond, College Living, and others. In March 2024, we announced the acquisition of the intellectual property and other brand assets of Zulily, the flash sale pioneer and ecommerce retailer. As a trusted and well-known name, Zulily complements Beyond’s suite of brands, including our relaunched Overstock brand. There’s a lot of work ahead, but I’m pleased with the continuous achievements that are being made each day.

Our Board continues to support the executive management team through the highest levels of corporate governance, with processes aimed to strengthen our compliance efforts, improve the quality and transparency of our reporting, and maximize long-term stockholder value. As announced in November 2023, we believe it’s imperative that stockholders have the ability to assess each board member’s performance and contributions on an annual basis. As a result, at this annual meeting, we are presenting a management proposal that would declassify the Board. In addition, we have restructured our executive compensation to incentivize company performance and align plans to deliver shareholder value. More details on the proposals to declassify the Board and approve certain performance-based compensation are provided in the accompanying proxy statement.

It's a time of great transition at Beyond – with new brands, new executives, and a new strategic vision that sets the company up for success and sets us apart from the competition. We ended 2023 and began 2024 focused on the commitments we’ve made to our employees, customers, vendor partners, and stockholders, all while connecting consumers with products and services they love. I’m optimistic about the bright future ahead of us and am glad you’re here for the journey. Thank you for the trust you have placed in us. We appreciate your investment in Beyond.
