(“FAT Brands” or the “Parent”) was informed that it was indicted by the U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) on two violations of Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for directly and indirectly extending and/or arranging for the extension of credit in 2019 and 2020 to its former CEO Andrew Wiederhorn in the amount of $2.65 million.

The SEC’s complaint also names Mr. Wiederhorn, Ms. Hershinger, and FAT Brands’ SVP of Finance, Ron Roe, as defendants. The SEC is seeking injunctive relief, disgorgement, and civil monetary penalties. The Parent intends to vigorously defend against the SEC complaint, which does not directly involve or allege any wrongdoing on the part of the Company.
