Item 5.08 Shareholder Director Nominations

The Board of Directors of FAT Brands Inc. (the “Company”) has established December 11, 2018 as the date of the Company’s 2018 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2018 Annual Meeting”), and the close of business on November 5, 2018 as the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at the 2018 Annual Meeting. The time and location of the 2018 Annual Meeting will be set forth in the Company’s forthcoming proxy statement for the 2018 Annual Meeting.

Because the Company did not hold an annual meeting in 2017, stockholders of the Company who wish to have a proposal considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the 2018 Annual Meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), must ensure that such proposal is received by the Company’s Secretary at FAT Brands Inc., 9720 Wilshire Blvd, Suite 500, Beverly Hills, CA 90212 on or before the close of business on November 9, 2018. Any such proposal must also meet the requirements set forth in the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission in order to be eligible for inclusion in the proxy materials for the 2018 Annual Meeting. Such date will also apply in determining whether notice of a stockholder proposal is timely for purposes of exercising discretionary voting authority with respect to proxies under Rule 14a-4(c) of the Exchange Act.

In addition, in accordance with the requirements contained in the Company’s bylaws, stockholders who wish to bring business before the 2018 Annual Meeting outside of Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act or to nominate a person for election as a director must ensure that written notice of such proposal (including all of the information specified in the Company’s Bylaws) is received by the Company’s Secretary at the address specified above no later than the close of business on November 8, 2018. Any such proposal must meet the requirements set forth in the Company’s Bylaws in order to be brought before the 2018 Annual Meeting.

Stockholders may contact the Company’s Corporate Secretary at the Company’s principal executive offices for a copy of the relevant bylaw provisions regarding the requirements for making stockholder proposals and nominating director candidates.
