Hudson Bay Capital Management is the anchor investor of the share sale launched Tuesday by Bed Bath & Beyond to stave off bankruptcy, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

The embattled retailer lined up investors for an eleventh-hour cash infusion that would allow it to keep operating outside of Chapter 11 protection, Bloomberg previously reported.
