This Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment No. 2”) to Schedule 13D amends and supplements the Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Reporting Persons on January 5, 2021, as amended on March 5, 2021 (as so amended, the “Schedule 13D”), as specifically set forth herein. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.

 

Item 1.

Security and Issuer

 

This Statement of Beneficial Ownership on Schedule 13D relates to the shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), and Class B Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B Common Stock”, and together with the Class A Common Stock, “Common Stock”), of FAT Brands Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 9720 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 500, Beverly Hills, CA 90212.

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

 

The Common Stock owned by the Reporting Persons has been acquired for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons may make further acquisitions of Common Stock from time to time and, subject to certain restrictions, may dispose of any or all of the Common Stock held by the Reporting Persons at any time depending on an ongoing evaluation of the investment in such securities, prevailing market conditions, other investment opportunities and other factors.

 

Except for the foregoing, the Reporting Persons have no plans or proposals which relate to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) and (c) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. With respect to paragraph (b) of Item 4, the Issuer has disclosed that it intends to seek opportunities for future acquisitions, and may in the future engage in additional merger transactions as well as other extraordinary corporate transactions.

 

Each of the Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider its position, change its purpose or formulate plans or proposals with respect to the Issuer. In particular, the Reporting Persons, in light of governance changes adopted at the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, desire to take steps to make changes deemed appropriate to facilitate future governance of the board of directors.
