Debt Acceleration. In an 8-K filing, FAT Brands disclosed on November 17, 2025, that the Company received notices of acceleration from UMB with respect to Securitization Notes issued by FAT Brands GFG Royalty I, LLC, FAT Brands Royalty I, LLC, FAT Brands Fazoli’s Native I, LLC, and Twin Hospitality I, LLC. The Acceleration Notices basically state that all amounts outstanding under the Notes are immediately due and payable. FAT Brands does not have the capital to repay all amounts due under the Notes.

Past Negotiations. In a November 14th 8-K filing, FAT Brands reported “cleansing material” related to the negotiations to modify the outstanding debt. In our view, there appears to be significant agreement on many issues, with key differences being the timing of certain items, certain payments to management and/or outside parties, and parties to receive certain reports.
