BED BATH & BEYOND, INC.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

On April 2, 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of The Brand House Collective (“TBHC”). On June 30, 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of TwoPonds, Inc. (“SFV Services”). As permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s guidance regarding recently acquired businesses, management has excluded the internal controls over financial reporting of TBHC and SFV Services from its evaluation of disclosure controls. TBHC accounted for 21% of our total assets and 20% of our net revenue as of and for the three months ended June 30, 2026.

Limitations on Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Management does not expect, however, that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent or detect all errors and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Except for the acquisition of TBHC and SFV Services discussed above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter June 30, 2026, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We are currently in the process of incorporating TBHC’s and SFV’s business processes and systems into our internal control over financial reporting structures.
