Item 3.01. Transfer of Listing.
On June 5, 2007, B&G Foods, Inc., pursuant to authorization received from its board of directors, informed the American Stock Exchange (AMEX) that B&G Foods intends to transfer the listing of its Enhanced Income Securities (EISs) to the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Subject to the completion of the proper securities filings, the EISs are expected to commence trading on the NYSE on Monday, June 18, 2007 under its current trading symbol “BGF.” Until the transfer, the EISs will continue trading on the AMEX under that symbol. Each EIS represents one share of Class A common stock and $7.15 principal amount of 12% senior subordinated notes due 2016. B&G Foods’ separately traded Class A common stock began trading on the NYSE on May 23, 2007 under the trading symbol “BGS” and will continue to trade separately from the EISs.
A copy of the press release announcing the foregoing is attached to this report as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
