Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Exchange Agreement
On October 21, 2022, FAT Brands Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Twin Peaks Holdings, LLC (“Twin Holdings”), pursuant to which the Company redeemed from Twin Holdings 1,821,831 shares of the Company’s 8.25% Series B Cumulative Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) at a price of $23.69 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends to the date of redemption. Prior to the redemption, Twin Holdings held 2,847,393 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, which shares were issued to it on October 1, 2021 as partial consideration for the Company’s acquisition of the Twin Peaks restaurant chain.
Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Company delivered to Twin Holdings the following Series 2022-1 secured notes (collectively, the “Notes”) issued by the Company’s special purpose, wholly-owned subsidiary, FAT Brands Royalty I, LLC in three tranches:
CUSIP | Security Description | Face Amount | Maturity Date | Coupon | ||||||||

31189TAL8 | Fat Brands RTY I LLC DTD 7/6/2022 9.000% 4/25/2051 (Fixed rate, subordinated secured notes, Class M-2) | $ | 19,617,000 | 4/25/2051 | 9.00 | % |
Under the Exchange Agreement, the Company also entered into a put/call arrangement with Twin Holdings with respect to the Notes, pursuant to which: (i) at any time prior to July 25, 2023, the Company may call from Twin Holdings all or a portion of the Class M-2 Notes at the outstanding principal balance multiplied by 0.86, plus any accrued plus unpaid interest thereon; (ii) at any time on or after the date of the Exchange Agreement, the Company may call from Twin Holdings, and at any time on or after July 25, 2023, Twin Holdings may put to the Company, all or a portion of the Class A-2 Notes and/or Class B-2 Notes at the outstanding principal balance multiplied by 0.94, plus any accrued plus unpaid interest thereon; and (iii) at any time on or after July 25, 2023, the Company may call from Twin Holdings, and Twin Holdings may put to the Company, all or a portion of the Class M-2 Notes at the outstanding principal balance multiplied by 0.91, plus any accrued plus unpaid interest thereon. All calls of Notes by the Company must be in minimum increments of $1,000,000. If the Company does not remit the applicable call price or put price upon a duly exercised call or put, as applicable, the amount owed by the Company will accrue interest at 10% per annum, which interest is due and payable in cash monthly by the Company.
Terms of the Notes
The Notes were issued by FAT Brands Royalty I, LLC (the “Issuer”) pursuant to a Base Indenture, dated March 6, 2020, and amended and restated as of April 26, 2021 (the “Base Indenture”), as amended by the Series 2022-1 Supplement (the “Series 2022-1 Supplement”), dated July 6, 2022, each of which is by and among the Issuer and UMB Bank, N.A., as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”) and securities intermediary. The aggregate amount of notes issued under the Series 2022-1 Supplement, a portion of which were delivered to Twin Holdings on October 21, 2022 under the Exchange Agreement, consisted of the following three tranches: (i) 4.75% Fixed Rate Senior Secured Notes, Class A-2, in an initial principal amount of $42,696,000; (ii) 8.00% Fixed Rate Senior Subordinated Secured Notes, Class B-2, in an initial principal amount of $14,232,000; and (iii) 9.00% Fixed Rate Subordinated Secured Notes, Class M-2, in an initial principal amount of $19,617,000.
Scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes are required to be made on a quarterly basis, in each case from amounts that are available for payment thereon under the Base Indenture. The legal final maturity of the Notes is April 25, 2051, but it is anticipated that, unless earlier prepaid to the extent permitted under the Indenture, the Notes will be repaid on July 25, 2023 (the “Anticipated Call Date”). If the Issuer has not repaid or refinanced the Notes by the Anticipated Call Date, additional interest equal to 1.0% per annum will accrue on each tranche of Notes.
Pursuant to the Base Indenture, the Notes are generally secured by a security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Issuer and its subsidiaries (the “Guarantors” and, together with the Issuer, the “Securitization Entities”). Also, under a Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, dated April 26, 2021, by and among the Guarantors in favor of the Trustee, the Guarantors have guaranteed the obligations of the Issuer under the Base Indenture and related documents and secured the guarantee by granting a security interest in substantially all of their assets. The Notes are subject to covenants and restrictions customary for transactions of this type set forth in the Base Indenture, including: (i) that the Issuer maintain specified reserve accounts to be used to make required payments in respect of the Notes; (ii) provisions relating to optional and mandatory prepayments, and the related payment of specified amounts; (iii) certain indemnification payments in the event, among other things, the transfers of the assets pledged as collateral for the Notes are in stated ways defective or ineffective; and (iv) covenants relating to recordkeeping, access to information and similar matters. The Notes are subject to customary rapid amortization events provided for in the Indenture, including events tied to failure of the Securitization Entities and Manager to maintain the stated debt service coverage ratio and leverage ratios, the sum of systemwide sales for all restaurants being below certain levels on certain measurement dates, certain Manager termination events, certain events of default and the failure to repay or refinance the Notes on the anticipated repayment dates. The Notes are also subject to certain customary events of default, including events relating to non-payment of required interest, principal or other amounts due on or with respect to the Notes, failure of the Securitization Entities to maintain the stated debt service coverage ratio, failure to comply with covenants within certain time frames, certain bankruptcy events, breaches of specified representations and warranties and certain judgments.
The Notes are the obligations of the Issuer only, and neither the Company nor any other subsidiary of the Company other than the Guarantors are generally liable for the obligations of the Issuer under the Base Indenture or the Notes.
The above descriptions of the Base Indenture, Series 2022-1 Supplement, Exchange Agreement and Guarantee and Collateral Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements filed herewith or incorporated by reference herein as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2, 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, each of which is incorporated herein by this reference.

Any such Call Closing for such Notes shall take place within five (5) Business Days following the date of such Call Notice virtually via the exchange of executed documents and other deliverables by PDF or other means of electronic delivery and wire transfer of funds on the applicable closing date.
(e) At each Call Closing, Seller shall, or shall cause HoldCo to, (i) deliver to FAT Brands instrument(s) of transfer, in customary form, sufficient to transfer the applicable Notes to FAT Brands free and clear of all Liens, other than Liens arising under applicable securities Laws, (ii) execute and deliver to FAT Brands a certificate in customary form containing only customary representations and warranties with respect to title to, and ownership of, the applicable Notes, authorization, execution and delivery of relevant documents and enforceability of such documents and (iii) execute such other customary certificates and documents and take such other customary actions as may be reasonably requested by FAT Brands to consummate such transactions. FAT Brands shall, concurrently with the receipt of such instrument(s) of transfer, pay to HoldCo or Seller, as applicable, the applicable Call Price.

Subject to FAT Brands fully satisfying its obligations under this Section 5(f), the occurrence of a Call Breach shall not, in and of itself, constitute a breach of this Agreement if and for so long as the interest required under this Section 5(f) and under the applicable Notes are timely paid as and when they become due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else herein to the contrary, however, whether or not a Call Notice is delivered within the Early Call Period, if the applicable Call Closing does not occur on or prior to the end of the Early Call Period, then the price for the applicable Class M Notes shall be the Standard Class M Put/Call Price (and not the Discounted Class M Call Price) and all interest payable hereunder shall be determined in reference to the Standard Class M Put/Call Price (and not the Discounted Class M Call Price).
-5- |
(g) If FAT Brands makes available, at the time and place and in the amount and form provided herein, such Call Price in accordance with this Section 5, then from and after such time HoldCo or Seller, as applicable, shall no longer have any rights, directly or indirectly, as holders of such Notes (other than the right to receive payment of such consideration in accordance herewith) and such Notes shall be deemed to have been purchased in accordance with the applicable provisions hereof, whether or not instrument(s) of transfer with respect thereto have been delivered as required hereby; provided that, FAT Brands irrevocably deposits such Call Price with a nationally recognized escrow agent or trust company with irrevocable instructions in customary form to such escrow agent or trust company that such Call Price, be paid to HoldCo or Seller, as applicable, immediately upon delivery of the requisite instruments of transfer contemplated hereby.
6. Put Right.

-6- |
(d) At each Put Closing, Seller shall, or shall cause HoldCo to, (i) deliver to FAT Brands instrument(s) of transfer, in customary form, sufficient to transfer the applicable Notes to FAT Brands free and clear of all Liens, other than Liens arising under applicable securities Laws, (ii) execute and deliver to FAT Brands a certificate in customary form containing only customary representations and warranties with respect to title to, and ownership of, the applicable Notes, authorization, execution and delivery of relevant documents and enforceability of such documents and (iii) execute such other customary certificates and documents and take such other customary actions as may be reasonably requested by FAT Brands to consummate such transactions. FAT Brands shall, concurrently with the receipt of such instrument(s) of transfer, pay to HoldCo or Seller, as applicable, the applicable Put Price. Payment shall be made in U.S. dollars by FAT Brands in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by HoldCo or Seller, as applicable, at least two (2) Business Days prior to such Put Closing.
(e) If Seller satisfies, or causes HoldCo to satisfy, the requirements set forth in Section 6 and FAT Brands does not remit the applicable Put Price to HoldCo or Seller, as applicable, on the date of the applicable Put Closing (a “Put Breach”), such Put Price shall accrue interest at the rate of 10% per annum from the date such Put Closing should have occurred until the date on which such Put Closing actually occurs, which interest shall be payable in cash monthly no later than the first Business Day of each calendar month thereafter until the date of such Put Closing, upon which any such unpaid interest shall be paid and payable together with applicable Put Price (and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be incremental and additional to any interest accruing on and under the Notes themselves). Subject to FAT Brands fully satisfying its obligations under this Section 6(e), the occurrence of a Put Breach shall not, in and of itself, constitute a breach of this Agreement if and for so long as the interest required under this Section 6(e) and under the applicable Notes are timely paid as and when they become due and payable.
(f) If FAT Brands makes available, at the time and place and in the amount and form provided herein, such Put Price to be purchased in accordance with this Section 6, then from and after such time HoldCo or Seller, as applicable, shall no longer have any rights, directly or indirectly, as a holder of such Notes (other than the right to receive payment of such consideration in accordance herewith) and such Notes shall be deemed to have been purchased in accordance with the applicable provisions hereof, whether or not instrument(s) of transfer with respect thereto have been delivered as required hereby; provided that, FAT Brands irrevocably deposits such Put Price with a nationally recognized escrow agent or trust company with irrevocable instructions in customary form to such escrow agent or trust company that such Put Price be paid to HoldCo or Seller, as applicable, immediately upon delivery of the requisite instruments of transfer contemplated hereby.

7. Covenants. From and after the date hereof until the date on which none of Seller or any of its Affiliates (including HoldCo) own any Notes, FAT Brands shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, (i) redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire from any holder of, or declare or pay any dividend or other distribution in respect of, any shares of capital stock or other equity securities of FAT Brands or any of its Subsidiaries (other than (x) to fulfil FAT Brands’ obligations to Seller hereunder and/or under the Put/Call Agreement, (y) the declaration and payment of cash dividends ratably on all outstanding shares of FAT Brands’ Series B Cumulative Preferred Stock in accordance with Section 3 of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation in respect thereof dated July 14, 2020 (the “Certificate of Designation”), the declaration and payment of quarterly cash dividends ratably on all outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock consistent with FAT Brands’ past practices, and/or the declaration and payment of cash dividends by Subsidiaries of FAT Brands to FAT Brands and/or another Subsidiary of FAT Brands, and/or (z) redemptions or repurchases by FAT Brands solely in exchange for, or the declaration and payment of dividends by FAT Brands payable solely in, shares of Junior Shares (as defined in the Certificate of Designation)), or (ii) issue or sell any Senior Shares or Parity Shares (each as defined in the Certificate of Designation) or any options, warrants or other rights to acquire any Senior Shares or Parity Shares (other than (x) if the proceeds thereof are used to fulfill FAT Brands’ obligations to Seller hereunder and/or under the Put/Call Agreement, (y) in exchange for cash proceeds which are used solely for working capital purposes of FAT Brands and its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices, and/or (z) the issuance of Parity Shares as consideration for the acquisition of a non-Affiliated Person or all or substantially all of such Person’s business or assets, provided that the recipient of such Parity Shares is not granted and afforded any redemption or other rights with respect thereto which would require any cash payment(s) to such recipient(s) prior to satisfaction of FAT Brands’ obligations hereunder and under the Put/Call Agreement) or issue or sell, or issue or grant any options, warrants or other rights to acquire, any capital stock or other equity securities of any Subsidiary(ies) of FAT Brands (other than capital stock or other equity securities issued to FAT Brands or another Subsidiary thereof and which, for the avoidance of doubt shall not include debt securities the proceeds of which are used for working capital purposes in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice or to acquire a non-Affiliate Person or all or substantially all of such Person’s business or assets), (iii) adopt a plan of liquidation, dissolution, restructuring, recapitalization, bankruptcy or other reorganization that materially and adversely affects Seller’s rights hereunder, (iv) amend, or propose to amend, FAT Brand’s Certificate of Incorporation or the Certificate of Designation or that certain Base Indenture, dated as of March 6, 2020, and amended and restated as of April 26, 2021, as supplemented by the Series 2022-1 Supplement, date as of July 6, 2022, in each case, between Fat Brands Royalty I, LLC, as Issuer, and UMB Bank, N.A., as Trustee, in each case, in any manner materially adverse to HoldCo’s or Seller’s rights and entitlements in respect of the Notes or arising hereunder, or (v) authorize, commit or agree to do any of the foregoing.
8. Purchase Price Adjustment and Total Accrued Dividend/Interest Amount Settlement.
(a) In full and final settlement and resolution of the Purchase Price Adjustment, FAT Brands and Seller hereby agree that (i) the Closing Cash Proceeds exceeded the Estimated Closing Cash Proceeds by more than $4,000,000 (such amount being the maximum amount FAT Brands is required to pay to Seller pursuant to 2.04(h)(ii) of the Purchase Agreement (in addition to instructing the Escrow Agent to release the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Funds to Seller, which the parties acknowledge occurred on April 7, 2022)) and, therefore, (ii) the amount owed to Seller pursuant to Section 2.04(h)(ii) of the Purchase Agreement is equal to $4,000,000, and (iii) such amount shall be increased by the Total Accrued Dividend/Interest Amount (such net amount of the foregoing clauses (ii) and (iii), the “Shortfall Amount”), which amount shall be due and payable on July 25, 2023 (the “Settlement Date”).
-8- |
(b) If any portion of the Shortfall Amount is not paid on or before the Settlement Date, such unpaid portion of the Shortfall Amount shall accrue interest at the rate of 10% per annum from and after July 25, 2023, which interest shall thereafter be payable in cash monthly no later than the first Business Day of each calendar month thereafter until the entire Shortfall Amount is paid in full. Subject to FAT Brands fully satisfying its obligations under this Section 8(b), the failure to pay the Shortfall Amount on or prior to July 25, 2023 shall not, in and of itself, constitute a breach of this Agreement if and for so long as the interest required under this Section 8(b) is timely paid as and when it becomes due and payable. The foregoing constitutes the final settlement, release and waiver of any and all claims or liabilities of any type or nature with respect to Section 2.04 of the Purchase Agreement, the Closing Statement, the Objection Notice and the calculation, and amount of, the Estimated Closing Cash Proceeds, and the Closing Cash Proceeds (and the calculations of Indebtedness, Cash, Closing Working Capital and Transaction Expenses therein). In addition, each of FAT Brands and Seller hereby waive any right to demand or collect any of their respective fees, costs or expenses incurred in connection with the Purchase Price Adjustment.
9. Accrued Initial Put/Call Interest Amount. Concurrent with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, FAT Brands shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Seller the Accrued Initial Put/Call Interest Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Seller.
10. Expenses. All fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such fees, costs or expenses.
11. Miscellaneous. The following provisions of the Purchase Agreement are incorporated herein mutatis mutandis (with the references therein to “this Agreement” and the “parties” referring to this Agreement and the parties hereto, respectively, and with any other logically necessary changes): 13.03 (Notices); 13.05 (Severability); 13.06 (Construction); 13.07 (Amendment and Waiver); 13.08 (Complete Agreement); 13.10 (Counterparts); 13.11 (Governing Law; Choice of Law); 13.12 (Arbitration; Waiver of Jury Trial); 13.13 (Legal Representation); 13.14 (Non-Recourse Parties); 13.17 (Specific Performance); and 13.19 (Prevailing Party). This Agreement, the Put/Call Agreement, the Put Notice, and the Purchase Agreement contain the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous oral or written agreements, negotiations, understandings, statements or proposals with respect to the subject matter hereof.
12. Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated by either FAT Brands or Seller (other than Seller’s assignment or delegation to HoldCo) without the prior written consent of the other party; provided that, Seller (and/or any valid assignee thereof) may assign any of its respective rights under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any Affiliate(s) or its direct and indirect equityholders or, upon and following any Put Breach or Call Breach, any other Person to whom any Notes are transferred, in each case, so long as such assignee(s) agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions hereof with respect to the applicable Notes.
