Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 10, 2020, Beyond Meat, Inc. (the "Company") and Roquette Frères ("Roquette") entered into a Multi-Year Sales Agreement (the "Sales Agreement") pursuant to which Roquette will provide the Company with plant-based protein. The agreement expires on December 31, 2022; however it can be terminated after 18 months under certain circumstances. This agreement increases the amount of plant-based protein to be supplied by Roquette in each of 2020, 2021 and 2022 compared to the amount supplied 2019. The plant-based protein sourced under the supply agreement is secured on a purchase order basis regularly, per specified minimum monthly and semi-annual quantities, throughout the term. The Company is not required to purchase plant-based protein in amounts in excess of such specified minimum quantities; however the Company has the option to increase such minimum quantities for delivery in each of 2021 and 2022. The total annual amount purchased each year by the Company must be at least the minimum amount specified in the agreement, which totals in the aggregate $154.1 million over the term of the agreement. The Company also has the right to be indemnified by Roquette in certain circumstances.
