FAT Brands sued over alleged debt default. A Jefferies Group-backed investment fund sued FAT Brands, claiming the restaurant franchiser defaulted on its debt by failing to deliver certain pledged shares.

352 Capital Group filed a lawsuit in New York on Thursday alleging that the Fatburger and Johnny Rockets owner never delivered certain promised shares from a spun-off entity to bondholders. As a result, the company is now in default and owes those investors roughly $158.9 million, according to the complaint, filed in New York state court.

  • A group of lenders is working with financial adviser Houlihan Lokey and law firm White & Case to advise them on restructuring talks, while FAT Brands is being advised by counsel from Latham & Watkins.
