May 29 2020 - 4:30PM
BBQ Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: BBQ) (the “Company”) today announced
that due to public health precautions limiting in-person
gatherings during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak and to
support the health and well-being of our shareholders and
associates, the format of the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders
has been changed to a virtual-only meeting, instead of an in-person
meeting. As previously announced, the Annual Meeting will be
held on Tuesday, June 16, 2020 at 3:00 p.m., Central Time.
However, the 2020 Annual Meeting will no longer be held at the
offices of Lathrop GPM in Minneapolis, Minnesota, but rather will
be held virtually, with attendance via the internet. Shareholders
will not be able to physically attend the 2020 Annual Meeting. The
virtual meeting and live audio webcast can be accessed at

The format of the 2020 Annual Meeting has been
designed to provide shareholders the same rights and opportunities
to participate as they would at an in-person meeting.

our 2020 Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 27, 2020 and

shareholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies by BBQ
