The companies entered an amended stipulation that sends Executive Andrew Wiederhorn on a temporary leave, terminates his existing employment agreements and provides for up to $5.0 million in aggregate payments to him, funded through new debtor‑in‑possession (DIP) facilities.
The stipulation also ends the employment of three Wiederhorn family executives and reduces each board to two independent directors, Patrick Bartels and Neal Goldman, after the resignation of all other directors. Separately, the debtors executed a Debtor‑In‑Possession Credit Agreement providing two superpriority term loan DIP facilities with combined capacity of about $307.6 million at 12.0% interest, including both new money and roll‑up loans, to fund operations and a court‑supervised sale process while in chapter 11.
FAT Brands, Inc. shareholder Muhammad Asif Seemab filed an amended Schedule 13G reporting increased ownership of the company’s Class A common stock. He beneficially owns 1,462,409 common shares, representing 8.8% of the class, based on 16,668,520 shares outstanding as of November 7, 2025.
The amendment reflects additional common shares acquired after a prior filing made on November 26, 2025. Seemab also holds 382,155 shares of Series B Cumulative Preferred Stock. Because FAT Brands is in default on ten monthly preferred dividends, below the 18-month threshold, these preferred shares currently have no voting rights.
The filing states that the securities were not acquired for the purpose of changing or influencing control of FAT Brands and are not held as part of any control-related group or transaction.
HOT GFG LLC, a 10% owner of FAT Brands, Inc., reported selling 1,794,766 shares of Class A common stock on January 30, 2026. The sale was executed at a weighted average price of $0.2707 per share, through multiple trades between $0.2577 and $0.3001 per share.
After this transaction, the reporting persons no longer held any Class A common stock but continued to directly own 1,544,623 shares of Series B Cumulative Preferred Stock.
FAT Brands Inc. and all its subsidiaries have commenced voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas and are continuing to operate as debtors-in-possession while seeking “first day” relief to support ongoing operations. The filing triggers events of default under multiple debt instruments, including approximately $110 million of FB Resid Holding I, LLC secured notes, $201 million of FAT Brands Royalty I, LLC secured notes, $410 million of FAT Brands GFG Royalty I, LLC secured notes, $140 million of FAT Brands Fazoli’s Native I, LLC secured notes and other loans and equipment financings. The company cautions that trading in its securities is highly speculative and that holders of its common shares could suffer a complete or significant loss depending on the outcome of the Chapter 11 process.
The Board expanded from 14 to 15 members and appointed two independent restructuring directors, Patrick Bartels and Neal Goldman, who will also serve as a special committee overseeing restructuring matters, each receiving $40,000 per month plus a potential $7,500 per-diem fee in certain situations. The Board also appointed John DiDonato of Huron as Chief Restructuring Officer and Abhimanyu Gupta of Huron as Deputy Chief Restructuring Officer to lead the restructuring efforts.
