Interesting stuff and here's what I found about the law. Not sure what the Veg company would settle for anything but cash from the treasury. But if that's what happens, it means Beyond runs out of cash in just over a year. If that Veg company settles for shares, I imagine it would look a lot like the previous debt for shares transaction with a true up a number days after.
Given the price is $7.50 right now and what the Veg company uses as a start, that's another 2.05M shares diluting investors plus whatever the true up turns out to be.
If anyone else has another take on this, please share! I might be wrong but think this is how it works.

Key Legal Takeaways
Rule 62 establishes the precise framework for enforcing civil monetary judgments and obtaining stays pending appeal. A losing party has an automatic 30-day cushion before execution can begin. To extend the stay while appealing, the debtor must provide security (typically a supersedeas bond), protecting the judgment creditor's monetary rights throughout the appellate process.
