tZERO Group, Inc., a blockchain-powered multi-asset infrastructure company, announced an enhancement to its proposal to convert TZROP security tokens into tokenized Series B preferred stock. The revised proposal, announced on April 16, 2026, adds a common stock component, allowing TZROP holders to also receive eight shares of the company’s common stock per TZROP share, in addition to the three previously announced Series B preferred shares. This change follows feedback from investors who expressed a desire to participate across the company’s capital structure and potentially benefit from future upside.
If approved, the tokenized common shares will be custodied on-chain within tZERO’s regulated wallet infrastructure. The move is intended to provide enhanced exposure to another layer of tZERO’s capital structure, though the value will depend on future business developments, financing rounds, and strategic transactions. Bed Bath & Beyond, Inc., tZERO’s largest shareholder, expressed support for the proposal despite significant dilution to its common stock position, subject to corporate governance enhancements, including a designated Board seat for Bed Bath & Beyond and a comprehensive operational review by Alvarez & Marsal.
Marcus Lemonis, Executive Chairman and CEO of Bed Bath & Beyond, stated, “tZERO was born out of Beyond’s vision for tokenization... This next phase must be defined by stronger governance, clear accountability, and a materially lower cost structure.” Upon closing of the conversion, tZERO CEO Alan Konevsky will become Chairman of the Board, succeeding Matt Mosman, who will remain as a director. Konevsky noted, “This revised proposal reflects feedback from our investor community, who expressed a strong desire for additional participation across our capital stack.”
Under the enhanced proposal, existing TZROP holders will hold approximately 31% of both the outstanding Series B preferred stock and common stock (including restricted stock units). The proposal reduces the interests of current common stockholders by about 30% and Series B preferred holders by 27% in their respective classes. The implied fair value conversion ratios, based on an independent analysis by Dahn Consulting Group, indicate each share of Series A preferred stock is equivalent to approximately 1.13 shares of Series B preferred or 2.76 shares of common stock. A summary of the Dahn report is available on the TZROP Amendment webpage accessible here.
The company does not intend to provide near-term liquidity for the tokenized common shares, unlike for the Series B shares. The proposed restructuring remains subject to approval by security holders and satisfaction of other conditions. The enhanced proposal has been approved by the majority holders of Series B preferred stock and an independent special committee of tZERO’s Board. Additionally, tZERO entered into a letter of intent with Bed Bath & Beyond for up to $10 million in convertible note financing, with terms subject to final approval.
