Item 5. Other Events.
On May 12, 2004, the Company increased its investment in Fatburger Holdings Inc. (“Fatburger”) and entered into a long-term association with the restaurant chain.
In August 2003, Fog Cutter announced the completion of a $5.4 million investment and financing package for Fatburger. At the time, Fog Cutter’s investment included the purchase of convertible preferred stock and redeemable convertible preferred stock. Subsequently, during the first quarter of 2004, Fog Cutter also funded a $1 million line of credit for Fatburger. Under the terms of the new transaction, Fog Cutter has invested an additional $2 million in cash, and exchanged the amounts due under its $1 million line of credit, both for additional preferred stock of Fatburger.
As a result of the new investment, Fog Cutter will continue to have a majority of the voting control of Fatburger. The investment consists of three classes of preferred stock:
• Series A-1 Preferred, which is convertible into common stock equaling a fully diluted 35% ownership interest in Fatburger;
• Series A-2 Preferred, which is convertible into common stock equaling a fully diluted 15% ownership interest in Fatburger; and
• Series D Preferred, which is redeemable by Fatburger for approximately $10 million, plus accrued dividends of 20% annually.
The new structure eliminates the scheduled redemption dates that had been a part of the initial investment by Fog Cutter.
