Welcome to our dedicated page for Fat Brands SEC filings (Ticker: FAT), a comprehensive resource for investors and traders seeking official regulatory documents including 10-K annual reports, 10-Q quarterly earnings, 8-K material events, and insider trading forms.
FAT Brands Inc. filings document the company’s restaurant-franchising business, public securities and restructuring disclosures. Recent Form 8-K reports cover the voluntary Chapter 11 cases for the company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, debtor-in-possession operations, material agreements, governance matters and capital-structure developments.
The filing record also includes disclosures on debt acceleration notices tied to securitization-note subsidiaries, triggering events under debt instruments, Nasdaq listing-compliance and delisting notices, and executive compensation arrangements. The securities discussed include Class A common stock under FAT, Class B common stock under FATBB and Series B cumulative preferred stock under FATBP.
FAT Brands Inc. reported new compensation arrangements for three named executive officers. On December 31, 2025, the company entered into letter agreements with Chief Financial Officer Kenneth Kuick, Chief Operating Officer Thayer Wiederhorn, and Chief Development Officer Taylor Wiederhorn. Each agreed to waive previously granted but unpaid bonuses for fiscal year 2024, and the company paid 50% of those amounts as retention bonuses: $500,000 for Kuick and $550,000 each for Thayer and Taylor Wiederhorn, paid on January 2, 2026.
In addition, the base salary for each executive increased from $550,000 to $950,000 effective January 1, 2026. Keeping both the retention bonuses and salary increases depends on continued employment through the earlier of June 30, 2026 or specified milestones if the company were to file for protection under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. If an executive resigns voluntarily (other than due to death or disability) or is terminated for cause before that time, he must repay the retention bonus and salary increase amounts already received, net of taxes.
FAT Brands Inc. reports that its subsidiary FB Resid Holdings I, LLC has received a notice of acceleration on its fixed rate secured notes. UMB Bank, as trustee under the FB Resid Indenture, has declared the outstanding principal, accrued interest, and all other amounts under the FB Resid Notes immediately due and payable. The aggregate principal outstanding is $158.9 million, or $110.0 million net of notes retained by the Company, with approximately $9.9 million of accrued and unpaid interest. FB Resid currently does not have cash on hand to pay these amounts, and the Company warns that the acceleration or any foreclosure may materially and adversely affect the business, financial condition and liquidity of both FB Resid and FAT Brands, and could lead FB Resid and/or the Company and certain subsidiaries to seek to reorganize through bankruptcy. The notes are secured by management fee and residual cash flows from securitization affiliates and by 44,638,745 pledged shares of Twin Hospitality Group Inc. Class A common stock, representing about 22.5% of Twin Hospitality’s voting control. FAT Brands also discloses that director James Ellis resigned from the boards of the Company and Twin Hospitality Group Inc. for personal reasons.
FAT Brands Inc. reports that key securitization lenders have accelerated payment of its franchise-backed debt after prior events of default. Notes issued by four special purpose subsidiaries have been declared immediately due, including $1,256.5 million in aggregate principal, or $1,153.6 million net of notes the company holds, plus about $43.2 million of accrued and unpaid interest. The company and its securitization issuers currently lack the cash to pay these amounts, and the acceleration or any later foreclosure on collateral could materially harm its business, financial condition and liquidity and could lead the company or its subsidiaries to seek reorganization through bankruptcy. FAT Brands is continuing talks with noteholder representatives about potential refinancing or restructuring transactions but gives no assurance that an acceptable agreement will be reached.
FAT Brands Inc. furnished Cleansing Material after entering a confidentiality agreement with certain holders of notes issued by its special purpose, whole business securitization financing subsidiaries and Twin Hospitality Group Inc. The agreement allowed discussions about a potential refinancing, restructuring or similar transaction with those noteholders. No agreement has been reached.
The Cleansing Material is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and, along with the Item 7.01 disclosure, is being furnished rather than filed, meaning it is not subject to Section 18 liability or automatically incorporated into other filings.
