Item 8.01 Other Events

As previously disclosed, on February 7, 2023, Bark, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery (the “Court of Chancery”) pursuant to Section 205 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “Petition”). The Petition sought an order validating and declaring effective (1) the provisions of the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company that set forth the number of authorized shares of the Company (the “Authorized Share Charter Provisions”) and (2) the shares of the Company’s common stock issued in reliance on such provisions of the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company.

On February 20, 2023, the Court of Chancery heard and orally granted the Petition. On February 21, 2023, the Court of Chancery issued a final order granting the Petition, thereby validating the Authorized Share Charter Provisions and the Company shares of common stock, including securities exercisable for, convertible into or settleable in shares of Company common stock, issued in reliance on the Authorized Share Charter Provisions, eliminating the previous uncertainty that had been introduced by a recent decision of the Court of Chancery regarding the validity of those provisions.
