Q. Does B&G Foods have two classes of common stock?
A. B&G Foods has two separate authorized classes of common stock, our Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and our Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share. However, on May 29, 2007, in connection with of our initial public offering of Class A common stock as a separately traded security all outstanding shares of our Class B common stock were repurchased for cash or exchanged for shares of our Class A common stock. As a result, there are currently no shares of our Class B common stock outstanding. It is currently contemplated that at our 2010 annual meeting of stockholders our board of directors will propose an amendment to our certificate of incorporation to refer to our Class A common stock simply as “common stock” and to delete all references to the Class B common stock.
