Claim deadlineIn re: FAT Brands Inc. Securities Litigation
FAT Brands Inc. (FAT) agreed to pay $3 million to settle a securities class action lawsuit to avoid further litigation.
Those who purchased FAT Brands Inc. publicly-traded securities from December 4, 2017, through February 18, 2022, both dates inclusive, could get a payment from a proposed class action settlement.
The Complaint alleged that the Company and its Leaders made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that:
- the Company and certain executives engaged in transactions “for no legitimate corporate purpose”;
- the Company ignored warning signs relating to transactions with certain executives;
- the Company was likely to face increased scrutiny, investigations, and other potential issues;
- certain executives, who are touted as critical to the Company’s success, were at great risk of scrutiny—potentially, at least in part, due to the Company’s actions;
- the Company’s touted CEO and COO were under investigation regarding transactions with the Company.
