FAT Brands Inc. and Twin Hospitality Group Inc. report court-approved sales of substantially all operating assets as part of their Chapter 11 process. The Bankruptcy Court authorized four asset purchase agreements covering major restaurant brands, with sales structured as cash deals and large credit bids.
The Company sold the “Hot Dog on a Stick” business for $8,000,000 in cash and the “Elevation Burger” business for $2,500,000 in cash, with buyers assuming specified liabilities. It also agreed to transfer brands including Round Table Pizza, Fatburger, Johnny Rockets, Fazoli’s, Great American Cookies, and others via a credit bid of approximately $595 million.
Twin Hospitality agreed to sell the “Twin Peaks” business through a separate credit bid of approximately $359.5 million. Closings occurred in June 2026, and the court’s sale orders provide that assets transfer free and clear of prior claims and liens, with the purchasers generally protected from successor liability.
FAT Brands Inc. and Twin Hospitality Group Inc. report court approval of a comprehensive Chapter 11 global settlement and final DIP financing. The U.S. Bankruptcy Court approved a Global Settlement and Final DIP Order on May 19, 2026, enabling four asset sale transactions, primarily via credit bids by the WBS Ad Hoc Group for substantially all company assets, with alternative sales for brands such as Hot Dog on a Stick and Elevation Burger.
The settlement requires the debtors to file and confirm a Chapter 11 plan of liquidation on an accelerated schedule, wind down remaining estates, and form a Liquidation Trust to pursue retained causes of action and distribute recoveries through a multi‑tranche waterfall to NewCos, unsecured creditors, Resid Noteholders and Prepetition Noteholders. NewCos will contribute an additional $9.23 million to fund sale consummation costs, the plan process and Specified Taxes, while at least $1.5 million will seed the Liquidation Trust. A wind‑down budget projects total cash receipts of $35.4 million against operating, non‑recurring and bankruptcy‑related disbursements that produce a cumulative net cash outflow of $33.8 million, leaving closing cash of about $2.8 million after sales close.
FAT Brands Inc. and subsidiary Twin Hospitality Group Inc., which are in voluntary chapter 11 proceedings, appointed Keshav Lall as interim Chief Executive Officer effective April 29, 2026. He also became interim CEO of certain other direct and indirect subsidiaries.
Lall is a founding partner at advisory firm Uzzi & Lall and has extensive restructuring experience, including prior roles as Chief Restructuring Officer for multiple debtors. His services are provided under an Engagement Letter between FAT Brands and Uzzi & Lall dated April 26, 2026, which grants Uzzi & Lall compensation of $100,000 per month. The filing notes no family relationships or related-party transactions requiring disclosure.
FAT Brands Inc. and Twin Hospitality Group Inc. detail major restructuring steps taken during ongoing chapter 11 proceedings. 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.
