EXPLANATORY NOTE

On August 31, 2022, 20230930-DK-Butterfly-1, Inc. (f/k/a Bed Bath & Beyond Inc.), a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3, as amended by Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-3 filed on November 9, 2022 and as further amended by Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to Form S-3 filed on February 6, 2023 (Registration Statement No. 333-267173 (the “Registration Statement”)). This Post-Effective Amendment No. 3 to the Registration Statement (“Post-Effective Amendment”) is being filed in order to deregister all securities that were registered under the Registration Statement and remain unsold.

On April 23, 2023, the Company and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey (the “Bankruptcy Court”). On September 14, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court entered its order confirming the Second Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. and its Debtor Affiliates (the “Plan”). The Company expects the Plan to become effective on September 29, 2023.

The Company has terminated all offerings of securities pursuant to the Registration Statement as it is undergoing an orderly wind-down and liquidation process pursuant to the Plan. In accordance with undertakings made by the Company in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, effective upon filing of this Post-Effective Amendment, the Company hereby removes from registration all of such securities of the Company registered but unsold under the Registration Statement, if any, as of the date hereof.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Company certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Post-Effective Amendment to the Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in Union, New Jersey, on September 29, 2023.

 

No other person is required to sign this Post-Effective Amendment No. 3 to the Registration Statement in reliance on Rule 478 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
