Investment firm JAT Capital sent a scathing letter to the board of the new Bed Bath & Beyond on Friday saying it has refused to answer questions from shareholders and is engaging in what the investment firm called unprecedented "poor behavior." Earlier this month, JAT called on Beyond to fire Johnson. In its letter, dated Friday, JAT questioned why Johnson's board seat was removed after his ouster and said it was an attempt to weaken "shareholders ability to have a say." JAT called on Beyond's board to answer its questions, once and for all, and for everyone from vendors to sell-side analysts to demand more transparency. The actions cited below which the Board has taken in the last 60 days appear to be to the detriment of the company and shareholders," the letter states.

Companies Beyond Inc FollowNov 6 (Reuters) - Internet retailer Beyond Inc (BYON.N), formerly known as Overstock.com, on Monday said its chief excecutive, Jonathan Johnson, has stepped down amid activist investor pressure. Hedge fund JAT Capital, which owns a 9.6% stake in Beyond Inc, last week urged the board to replace CEO Johnson, arguing that he is to blame for the company's poor financial performance. JAT Capital did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment on the change. Overstock.com rebranded its website under the Bed Bath & Beyond name after it acquired intellectual property from the bankrupt company in June.
