Preliminary Offering Circular
 |
Up to 2,000,000 Shares of Common Stock ($24,000,000)
FAT Brands Inc. |
|
This is the initial public offering of securities of FAT Brands Inc. (which we refer to as the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us”). We are offering up to 2,000,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 (which we refer to as the “Common Stock”) at an offering price of $12.00 per share, for an aggregate offering amount of up to $24,000,000 (the “Offering”). There is no minimum number of shares that must be sold by us for the Offering to proceed.
The Offering will terminate at the earlier of: (1) the date at which $24,000,000 of shares has been sold, (2) the date which is one year after this Offering being qualified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (which we refer to as the “SEC” or the “Commission”), or (3) the date on which this Offering is earlier terminated by the Company in its sole discretion (which we refer to as the “Termination Date”). This Offering is being conducted on a “best efforts” basis pursuant to Regulation A of Section 3(6) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for Tier 2 offerings. The Company may undertake one or more closings on a rolling basis; however, it intends to complete one closing. Until we complete a closing, the proceeds for the Offering will be kept in an escrow account, except with respect to those investors using a BANQ online brokerage account. At a closing, the proceeds will be distributed to the Company and the associated shares will be issued to investors. If there are no closings or if funds remain in the escrow account upon termination of this Offering without any corresponding closing, the investments for this Offering will be promptly returned to investors, without deduction and without interest. Wilmington Trust, N.A. will serve as the escrow agent for non-BANQ customers. There is a minimum purchase requirement for an investor of 50 shares of Common Stock in order to participate in the Offering.
TriPoint Global Equities, LLC has agreed to act as our exclusive, lead managing selling agent (which we refer to as the “Selling Agent”) to offer the shares to prospective investors on a “best efforts” basis. In addition, the Selling Agent may engage one or more sub-Selling Agents or selected dealers. The Selling Agent is not purchasing the shares offered by us, and is not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of the shares in the Offering.
We expect to commence the offer and sale of the shares as of the date on which the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular is a part (the “Offering Statement”) is qualified by the SEC. Prior to this Offering, there has been no public market for our common stock. We have applied to list our Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“NASDAQ”) under the symbol “FAT.” We expect our Common Stock to begin trading on NASDAQ upon consummation of the Offering.
Following this Offering, we will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the corporate governance rules of NASDAQ. See “The Transactions” and “Management—Corporate Governance.”
We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or the JOBS Act, and, as such, may elect to comply with certain reduced reporting requirements for this Offering Circular and future filings after this Offering.
Investing in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 14 for a discussion of certain risks that you should consider in connection with an investment in our Common Stock.
