 Item 8.01 OTHER EVENTS

 

As previously announced, on February 20, 2018, Fogo de Chão, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) among Prime Cut Intermediate Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”) and an investment entity affiliated with Rhône Capital V L.P. (“Rhône”) and Prime Cut Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Subsidiary”), pursuant to which, among other things and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of specified conditions, Merger Subsidiary will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, Merger Subsidiary will cease to exist, and the Company will survive as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

 

On March 16, 2018, the Company filed a definitive information statement on Schedule 14C (the “Definitive Information Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company makes the below listed supplemental disclosures to the Definitive Information Statement in this Form 8-K. These supplemental disclosures should be read in conjunction with the Definitive Information Statement, which in turn should be read in its entirety. Defined terms used but not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Definitive Information Statement. To the extent that information in this Form 8-K differs from or updates information contained in the Definitive Information Statement, the Definitive Information Statement shall be deemed updated by the information contained in this Form 8-K.

These discussions are of a preliminary nature and, as of April 2, 2018, there is no agreement, commitment or understanding with respect to entering into any management incentive plan or the potential terms thereof.
