Twin Hospitality Group Spins Off from FAT Brands

Twin Hospitality Group Inc. has completed its spin-off from parent company FAT Brands Inc., as detailed in a recent 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The separation became effective on Monday, January 29, 2025, at 4:31 p.m. Eastern Time, with Twin Hospitality Group now operating as an independent, publicly traded entity.

The transaction was structured as a pro rata dividend distribution to FAT Brands’ shareholders, who as of the record date on January 27, 2025, received approximately 5% of Twin Hospitality Group’s Class A Common Stock. Shareholders were allocated 0.1520207 shares of Twin Hospitality Group for every share of FAT Brands they owned.

Concurrent with the spin-off, Twin Hospitality Group’s Class A Common Stock began trading on the Nasdaq Global Market under the ticker symbol “TWNP” on Thursday, January 30, 2025.

The spin-off was governed by a Master Separation and Distribution Agreement and a Tax Matters Agreement, both entered into on January 24, 2025. These agreements outline the distribution terms and the ongoing relationship between Twin Hospitality Group and FAT Brands post-separation. The Master Separation and Distribution Agreement includes key provisions for the completion of the spin-off and sets the framework for the companies’ future interactions. The Tax Matters Agreement addresses the responsibilities and rights concerning tax matters following the spin-off.

The separation is part of a strategic plan that allows Twin Hospitality Group to operate independently, focusing on its core business in the retail-eating places sector, as classified under the Standard Industrial Classification code 5812. The company’s headquarters remain at 5151 Belt Line Road, Suite 1200, Dallas, Texas.

Investors and stakeholders can refer to the Information Statement provided on January 17, 2025, for a comprehensive overview of the agreements and the implications of the separation. The full terms of the Master Separation and Distribution Agreement and the Tax Matters Agreement are included as exhibits to the 8-K filing, which serves as the source for this report.
