Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On June 9, 2026, BARK, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for its fiscal year ended March 31, 2026. A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information contained in this Item 2.02 and in the accompanying Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing, unless expressly incorporated by specific reference in such filing.
Item 8.01 Other Events
The Company today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a stock repurchase program, pursuant to which the Company may repurchase, from time to time, up to an aggregate of $40.0 million of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, exclusive of any fees, commissions or other expenses related to such repurchases, to be funded by ongoing free cash flow.
Under the stock repurchase program, the Company may repurchase up to $40.0 million of its outstanding common stock. The stock repurchase program permits the Company to repurchase shares of common stock at any time or from time to time at management’s discretion in open market transactions made in accordance with the provisions of Rule 10b-18 and/or Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, privately negotiated transactions or by other means in accordance with applicable securities laws. The timing, price, and volume of repurchases will be determined by management and depend on a number of factors including, but not limited to, stock price, trading volume, and general market conditions, along with the Company's financial position, available cash on hand and any available surplus, working capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors. The stock repurchase program is not subject to a termination or expiration date, and it does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares of common stock. The stock repurchase program is expected to be funded by ongoing free cash flow.
