Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

The securities reported herein as beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons were acquired in connection with the business combination transaction contemplated by the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 31, 2023, as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated June 25, 2023, Amendment No. 2 dated July 7, 2023, and Amendment No. 3 dated September 1, 2023 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Issuer, FAST Acquisition Corp. II, a Delaware corporation (“FAST II”), Falcon’s Beyond Global, LLC, a Florida limited liability company that has since redomesticated as a Delaware limited liability company (“Falcon’s LLC”), and Palm Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, among other things, Falcon’s LLC combined with FAST II in a series of transactions (collectively, the “Business Combination”) that resulted in the Issuer becoming a publicly traded company and controlling Falcon’s LLC in an “Up-C” structure.

As a result of the Business Combination, on October 6, 2023, BR Trust received (i) 1,986,706 shares of Class A Common Stock in exchange for an equal number of limited liability common units of Falcon’s LLC (“Common Units”) and (ii) 40,725 shares of 8% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Issuer (“Series A Preferred Stock”) in consideration for the cancellation of outstanding indebtedness in the amount of approximately $407,250 owed to BR Trust by Falcon’s LLC and Ms. Demerau received (i) 99,900 shares of Class A Common Stock in exchange for an equal number of Common Units and (ii) 35,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock in consideration for the cancellation of outstanding indebtedness in the amount of approximately $350,000 owed to Ms. Demerau by Falcon’s LLC. Such Series A Preferred Stock was convertible by the holder, and in certain circumstances by the Issuer, into a number of shares of Class A Common Stock at a conversion rate of 0.90909 shares of Class A Common Stock for each share of Series A Preferred Stock held. On November 6, 2023, pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designation of the Series A Preferred Stock (“Certificate of Designation”), all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock automatically converted into shares of Class A Common Stock at a conversion rate of 0.90909 shares of Class A Common Stock for each share of Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with the Certificate of Designation. Cash was paid in lieu of fractional shares in accordance with the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock. As a result, BR Trust received an additional 37,022 shares of Class A Common Stock for the 40,725 shares of Series A Preferred Stock then held and Ms. Demerau received an additional 31,818 shares of Class A Common Stock for the 35,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock then held.

As described in Item 3, the shares of Class A Common Stock reported in this Schedule 13D as beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons were acquired in connection with the Business Combination.

The Reporting Persons do not have any present plan or proposal which would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) – (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon or in connection with completion of, or following, any of the actions discussed herein. The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Any actions the Reporting Persons might undertake may be made at any time and from time to time without prior notice and will be dependent upon the Reporting Persons’ review of numerous factors, including, but not limited to: an ongoing evaluation of the Issuer’s business, financial condition, operations and prospects; price levels of the Issuer’s securities; general market, industry and economic conditions; the relative attractiveness of alternative business and investment opportunities; and other future developments.

The Reporting Persons, subject to certain provisions of the law, may acquire additional securities of the Issuer, or retain or sell all or a portion of the securities then held, in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions or may enter into agreements relating to the pledging of such shares. In addition, the Reporting Persons may engage in discussions with management, the Board, and stockholders of the Issuer and other relevant parties or encourage, cause or seek to cause the Issuer or such persons to consider or explore extraordinary corporate transactions, such as: a merger, reorganization or take-private transaction that could result in the de-listing or de-registration of the Class A Common Stock; sales or acquisitions of assets or businesses; changes to the capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; or other material changes to the Issuer’s business or corporate structure, including changes in management or the composition of the Board.

Other than as described above, the Reporting Persons do not currently have any plans or proposals that relate to, or would result in, any of the matters enumerated in subsections (a) - (j) of Item 4 of the General Instructions for Complying with Schedule 13D, although, depending on the factors discussed herein, the Reporting Persons may change their purpose or formulate different plans or proposals with respect thereto at any time.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

The information provided and incorporated by reference in Item 3 is hereby incorporated by reference in this Item 5.

(a), (b) The aggregate number and percentage of the Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by each Reporting Person and, for each Reporting Person, the number of shares as to which there is sole power to vote or to direct the vote, shared power to vote or to direct the vote, sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition, or shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition are set forth on rows 7 through 11 and row 13 of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D and are incorporated herein by reference.

As of the date of this filing, (i) BR Trust holds 2,023,728 shares of Class A Common Stock, representing approximately 18.8% of the Class A Common Stock and (ii) Ms. Demerau beneficially owns 2,155,446 shares of Class A Common Stock, based on 131,718 shares of Class A Common Stock held directly and 2,023,728 shares of Class A Common Stock held by BR Trust, representing approximately 20.0% of the Class A Common Stock, in each case, based on an aggregate of 8,779,983 shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding, as reflected in the Prospectus filed by the Issuer on December 12, 2023 (the “Prospectus”), adjusted to reflect the redemption of 2,000,000 Common Units for shares of Class A Common Stock by Infinite Acquisitions Partners LLC on February 9, 2024, and as calculated pursuant to Rule 13d-3. The Reporting Persons beneficially own approximately 3.4% of the total common stock outstanding excluding shares currently held in escrow for the benefit of other securityholders of the Issuer, to be earned, released and delivered upon satisfaction of, or forfeited and canceled upon the failure of, certain milestones related to the EBITDA of the Issuer and the gross revenue of the Issuer during periods between July 1, 2023 and December 31, 2024 and the volume weighted average closing sale price of shares of Class A Common Stock during the five-year period beginning on the one-year anniversary of the Business Combination and ending on the six-year anniversary of the Business Combination (“Earnout Shares”), and such

5

ownership would be equivalent of approximately 1.5% of the total common stock outstanding including the Earnout Shares, based on a total of 136,376,600 total shares of common stock of the Issuer outstanding as of December 12, 2023, as set forth in the Prospectus, which includes a total of 77,500,000 Earnout Shares that are currently held in escrow, as described in the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 12, 2023.
