NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 - Description of Organization, Business Operations and Basis of Presentation
FAST Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on June 4, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company is an emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.
As of September 30, 2021, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from June 4, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2021, relates to the Company’s formation and the preparation of the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) described below, and since the Initial Public Offering, the search for a prospective initial Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
The
Company’s sponsor is FAST Sponsor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement
for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on August 20, 2020. On August 25, 2020, the Company consummated
its Initial Public Offering of

Company will provide the holders of the Company’s outstanding Public Shares (the “Public Stockholders”) with the opportunity
to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder
meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek
stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion, subject
to applicable law and stock exchange listing requirements. The Public Stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for
a pro rata portion of the amount then held in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $

The
Certificate of Incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person

of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate

If
the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or August
25, 2022 (as such period may be extended by the Company’s stockholders in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation, the
“Combination Period”), the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as
reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash,
equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account
(net of permitted withdrawals and up to $
The initial stockholders agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the initial stockholders acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to the deferred underwriting commission (see Note 5) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within in the Combination Period, and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only $10.00 or potentially less. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (except for the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement (a “Target”), reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or Target that executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses and other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.
Proposed Business Combination
On
February 1, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”) with Fertitta
Entertainment, Inc., a Texas corporation (“FEI”), FAST Merger Corp., a Texas corporation and direct subsidiary of the Company
(“FAST Merger Corp.”) and FAST Merger Sub Inc., a Texas corporation and direct subsidiary of FAST Merger Corp. (“Merger
Sub”), pursuant to which (i) the Company will change its jurisdiction of incorporation to Texas by merging with and into FAST Merger
Corp., with FAST Merger Corp. surviving the merger (the “reincorporation”), and (ii) Merger Sub will merge with and into
FEI with FEI surviving the merger (the “Merger”). Upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement
(the “Business Combination”), FEI will become a wholly owned subsidiary of FAST Merger Corp., which is referred to herein
as “New FEI.” On June 30, 2021, the Company, FEI, FAST Merger Corp.

Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Liquidity and Going Concern
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization
of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had approximately $
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC 205-40, “Basis of Presentation – Going Concern,” management has determined that the working capital deficit and mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after August 25, 2022. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements
In preparation of the Company’s unaudited
condensed financial statements for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2021, the Company concluded it should restate its previously
issued financial statements to classify all Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in temporary equity. In accordance with
the SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the
control of the Company, require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. The Company had previously
classified a portion of its Class A common stock in permanent equity. Although the Company did not specify a maximum redemption threshold,
its charter currently provides that the Company will not redeem its Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets
to be less than $
In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, “Materiality,” and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements,” the Company evaluated the corrections and has determined that the related impact was material to the previously filed financial statements that contained the error, reported in the Company’s Form 10-Qs for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2021, and June 30, 2021 (the “Affected Quarterly Periods”). Therefore, the Company, in consultation with its Audit Committee, concluded that the Affected Quarterly Periods should be restated to present all Class A common stock subject to possible redemption as temporary equity and to recognize accretion from the initial book value to redemption value at the time of its Initial Public Offering. As such, the Company is reporting these restatements to those periods in this quarterly report.
The impact of the restatement on the financial statements for the Affected Quarterly Periods is presented below.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject
the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents outside of funds held in the Trust Account as of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020.
Investments Held in the Trust Account
The Company’s portfolio of investments held
in the Trust Account is comprised of U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company
Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities and generally
have a readily determinable fair value, or a combination thereof. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised
of U.S. government securities, the investments are classified as trading securities. When the Company’s investments held in the
Trust Account are comprised of money market funds, the investments are recognized at fair value. Trading securities and investments in
money market funds are presented on the balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from
the change in fair value of these securities is included in income on investments held in the Trust Account in the accompanying unaudited
condensed statement of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market
information. The Company withdrew approximately $

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements,” equal or approximate the carrying amounts represented in the condensed balance sheets.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers consist of:
| ● | Level 1, defined as unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; | |
| ● | Level 2, defined as quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which significant inputs to models are observable (including but not limited to quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatility and credit risk), either directly or indirectly; and | |
| ● | Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. |
In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
As of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the carrying values of cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses, prepaid expenses and franchise tax payable approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The Company’s investments held in Trust Account are comprised of investments in U.S. Treasury securities with an original maturity of 185 days or less or investments in a money market funds that comprise only U.S. Treasury securities and are recognized at fair value. The fair value of investments held in Trust Account is determined using quoted prices in active markets.
Derivative Warrant Liabilities
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), paragraph 15 Embedded Derivatives (“ASC 815-15”). The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for its Class A common stock
subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”
Shares of Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair
value. Shares of conditionally redeemable Class A common stock (including Class A common stock that feature redemption rights that are
either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s
control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, shares of Class A common stock are classified as stockholders’
equity. The Company’s Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s
control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020,
Effective with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount, which, resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit.
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the respective period.
The Company did not consider the effect of the
warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement to purchase an aggregate of

Income Taxes
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. As of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company had deferred tax assets with a full valuation allowance against them.
FASB ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2021. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties as of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.
The Company may be subject to potential examination by U.S. federal, U.S. state or foreign taxing authorities in the area of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with U.S. federal, U.S. state and foreign tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.
Recent Issued Accounting Standards
In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-06, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. The ASU also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity-linked contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, and it simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. The guidance may be early adopted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
The Company’s management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering
Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the Initial Public Offering that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs were allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs associated with derivative warrant liabilities were expensed as incurred and presented as non-operating expenses in the statement of operations. Offering costs associated with the Class A common stock issued were charged against the carrying value of the shares of Class A common stock upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The Company classifies deferred underwriting commissions as non-current liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.

Private Placement Warrants
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the Private Placement of 6,000,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor, each exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock at $11.50 per share, at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $6.0 million. If the over-allotment option was exercised, the Sponsor could have purchased an additional amount of up to 600,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant. The over-allotment expired unexercised on October 5, 2020.
A certain portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor was added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. The Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable for cash and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees.
The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Private Placement Warrants until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination.

statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants
and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or the Company permits holders to exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless
basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act). The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable,
but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, the Company will use its best efforts
to file with the SEC and have an effective registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of
the warrants and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed.
If a registration statement covering the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th business
day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration
statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on

if the Company’s shares of Class A common stock are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities
exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company

with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elect, it will not be required to file or maintain in effect

Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees.

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants.

Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on June 4, 2020 for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. We are an emerging growth company and, as such, we are subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.
Our Sponsor is FAST Sponsor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The registration statement for our Initial Public Offering was declared effective on August 20, 2020. On August 25, 2020, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $200.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $11.5 million, inclusive of $7.0 million in deferred underwriting commissions. The underwriters were granted a 45-day option from the date of the final prospectus relating to the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at $10.00 per Unit. The over-allotment expired unexercised on October 5, 2020.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the Private Placement of 6,000,000 Private Placement Warrants to our Sponsor, each exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock at $11.50 per share, at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to us of $6.0 million. If the over-allotment option was exercised, our Sponsor could have purchased an additional amount of up to 600,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant. The over-allotment expired unexercised on October 5, 2020.
Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, $200.0 million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement were placed in the Trust Account located in the United States at JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and will be invested only in U.S. “government securities,” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.
Our management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination.
If we are unable to complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or August 25, 2022, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (net of permitted withdrawals and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

On February 1, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”) with Fertitta Entertainment, Inc., a Texas corporation (“FEI”), FAST Merger Corp., a Texas corporation and direct subsidiary of the Company (“FAST Merger Corp.”) and FAST Merger Sub Inc., a Texas corporation and direct subsidiary of FAST Merger Corp. (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which (i) the Company will change its jurisdiction of incorporation to Texas by merging with and into FAST Merger Corp., with FAST Merger Corp. surviving the merger (the “reincorporation”), and (ii) Merger Sub will merge with and into FEI with FEI surviving the merger (the “Merger”). Upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Business Combination”), FEI will become a wholly owned subsidiary of FAST Merger Corp., which is referred to herein as “New FEI.” On June 30, 2021, the Company, FEI, FAST Merger Corp. and Merger Sub entered into an Amendment No. 1 to the Merger Agreement (“Amendment No. 1”), pursuant to which the Merger Agreement was amended to, among other things, (i) increase the number of shares of Class A common stock of New FEI to be issued to the sole stockholder of FEI such that the value of the aggregate consideration to be received by the sole stockholder increased from approximately $1.97 billion to approximately $3.84 billion in consideration for the inclusion of certain high quality assets to New FEI including Mastro’s, Catch and Vic & Anthony’s restaurants, Cadillac Bar and Fish Tales casual concepts and certain specialty entertainment assets, including Fisherman’s Wharf and Pleasure Pier in Galveston and three aquariums, (ii) provide that the shares of Class B units of Golden Nugget Online Gaming, Inc. (“GNOG”) issued in connection with the $2.2 million contribution made by LF LLC (a subsidiary of FEI) on March 31, 2021 and any additional shares acquired by LF LLC prior to the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”) as a result of contractually required contributions will be included as part of the transaction and (iii) extend the “Termination Date” under the Merger Agreement from November 1, 2021 to December 1, 2021.
Upon the Closing, each share of common stock of the Company will be converted into one share of Class A common stock of New FEI and all of the outstanding equity interests of FEI will be acquired for aggregate consideration that is currently valued at approximately $3.84 billion. Such consideration will be paid to Tilman J. Fertitta, the sole stockholder of FEI, by the issuance of a number of shares of Class B common stock of New FEI, calculated based on the aggregate closing date transaction value, as determined pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and a $10 per share price of the Class B common stock. The value of the aggregate consideration will change between now and the Closing based on (i) the difference between the net debt of FEI at the Closing and the current target net debt of $4.6 billion and (ii) (x) the difference between the 60-day average closing stock price of a share of GNOG as of the day prior to the Closing and $18.46, the closing stock price of GNOG on January 28, 2021, multiplied by (y) 31,350,625 (subject to adjustment by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares, or any other similar event between the date of the Merger Agreement and the Closing). In addition, in connection with the Business Combination, FEI will complete an internal reorganization and spin out certain assets which are not intended to be part of the Business Combination (the “Restructuring”).
The shares of Class B common stock of New FEI will have the same economic terms as the shares of Class A common stock of New FEI, but the shares of Class B common stock of New FEI will have 10 votes per share. The outstanding shares of Class B common stock of New FEI will be subject to a “sunset” provision if Mr. Fertitta and other permitted holders of New FEI Class B common stock collectively cease to beneficially own at least 20% of the number of shares of Class B common stock of New FEI collectively held by Mr. Fertitta and other permitted transferees as of the effective date of the Business Combination.
On August 9, 2021, DraftKings Inc. (“DraftKings”) and GNOG announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement pursuant to which DraftKings will acquire GNOG in an all-stock transaction (the “DraftKings Transaction”). The Company currently expects that the Business Combination will close in the fourth quarter of 2021, prior to the expected closing of the DraftKings Transaction.
The Merger Agreement does not prohibit FEI from selling the stock of GNOG and the Company’s consent was not required for the DraftKings Transaction. The Merger Agreement provides that the Merger Consideration (as defined therein) payable to FEI’s sole stockholder will be adjusted by (a)(i) an amount equal to the difference between the 60-day average closing stock price of a share of GNOG as of the day prior to the closing of the Business Combination, multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of stock of GNOG owned by FEI as of the Closing, and (b)(i) $13.00, multiplied by (ii) 31,494,175. The Merger Consideration payable to the sole stockholder of FEI will increase or decrease to the extent GNOG’s stock price increases or decreases as a result of the announcement of the DraftKings Transaction in relation to the $13.00 reference price in the Merger Agreement.
A subsidiary of FEI, as a holder of GNOG common stock, will receive the merger consideration in the DraftKings Transaction. In the DraftKings Transaction, GNOG stockholders, including such subsidiary of FEI, will receive a fixed ratio of 0.365 shares of Class A common stock of a new holding company formed by DraftKings in connection with the Transaction (“New DraftKings”), for each share of common stock of GNOG. The Company is not a party to the DraftKings Transaction.
Liquidity and Going Concern
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of September 30, 2021, we had approximately $0.2 million in our operating bank account and a working capital deficit of approximately $2.0 million (not taking into account approximately $79,000 of tax obligations that may be paid using investment income classified in the Trust Account). We have incurred and expect to incur additional significant costs in pursuit of our financing and acquisition plans. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.
23
In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC 205-40, “Basis of Presentation – Going Concern,” management has determined that the working capital deficit and mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should we be required to liquidate after August 25, 2022. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
Risks and Uncertainties
Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Results of Operations
Our entire activity since inception up to September 30, 2021, was in preparation for our formation, the Initial Public Offering, and since the closing of our Initial Public Offering, a search for business combination candidates. We will not generate any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial Business Combination.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we had a net loss of approximately $47.3 million which consisted of approximately $46.6 million in change in the fair value of derivative warrant liabilities, approximately $0.6 million in general and administrative expenses, $45,000 of general and administrative expenses – related party, approximately $53,000 of franchise taxes, partially offset by approximately $24,000 income from our investments held in the Trust Account.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had a net loss of approximately $70.5 million which consisted of approximately $67.2 million in change in the fair value of derivative warrant liabilities, approximately $3.0 million in general and administrative expenses, $135,000 of general and administrative expenses – related party, approximately $150,000 of franchise taxes, partially offset by approximately $46,000 income from our investments held in the Trust Account.
For the period from June 4, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2020, we had a net loss of approximately $281,000 which consisted of approximately $86,000 in general and administrative expenses, 15,000 of general and administrative expenses – related party, approximately $64,000 in franchise tax expense, and approximately $474,000 of financing costs – derivative warrant liabilities, partially offset by $340,000 change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities, and approximately $19,000 income from our investments held in the Trust Account.
Related Party Transactions
Founder Shares
On June 19, 2020, we issued 7,187,500 Founder Shares to our Sponsor for a payment of $25,000. On August 4, 2020, we effected a share capitalization resulting in an aggregate of 5,750,000 Class B common stock outstanding. All shares and associated amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the share capitalization. The initial stockholders agreed to forfeit up to 750,000 Founder Shares to the extent that the over-allotment option was not exercised in full by the underwriters. The forfeiture would have been adjusted to the extent that the over-allotment option was not exercised in full by the underwriters so that the Founder Shares will represent 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. The over-allotment expired unexercised on October 5, 2020, resulting in the forfeiture of such shares resulting in the forfeiture of 750,000 Founder Shares.
The initial stockholders agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (i) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination and (ii) the date following the completion of the initial Business Combination on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their common stock for cash, securities or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (1) the last reported sales price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination or (2) if we consummate a transaction after the initial Business Combination which results in the our stockholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property, the Founder Shares will be released from the lock-up.

Related Party Loans
In addition, in order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us Working Capital Loans. If we complete a Business Combination, we may repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination or, at the lenders’ discretion, up to $1.5 million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. To date, we had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.
Contractual Obligations
Registration Rights
The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, if any (and any shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares), are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement. These holders will be entitled to certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per unit, or $4.0 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, $0.35 per unit, or $7.0 million in the aggregate will be payable to the underwriters for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Administrative Services Agreement
Commencing on the date that our securities were first listed on the New York Stock Exchange and continuing until the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination or our liquidation, we agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of $15,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial and administrative support services provided to members of our management team. We incurred $45,000, $135,000, and $15,000 for such services for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021, and for the period from June 4, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2020, respectively, included as general and administrative expenses - related parties on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. At September 30, 2021, $15,000 was included as prepaid expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2020, there were no prepaid or accrued expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Sponsor, officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities performed on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable Business Combinations.
Critical Accounting Policies
Investments Held in the Trust Account
Our portfolio of investments is comprised of U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities and generally have a readily determinable fair value, or a combination thereof. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of U.S. government securities, the investments are classified as trading securities. When our investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of money market funds, the investments are recognized at fair value. Trading securities and investments in money market funds are presented on the balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities is included in income on investments held in the Trust Account in the accompanying unaudited condensed statement of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.
Derivative Warrant Liabilities
We do not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. We evaluate our financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant ASC 480 and FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), paragraph 15 Embedded Derivatives (“ASC 815-15”). The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.
The warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering (the “Public Warrants”) and the Private Placement Warrants are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815, paragraph 40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815-40”). Accordingly, we recognize the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjust the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s statement of operations. The fair value of the Public Warrants issued in connection with the Public Offering and Private Placement Warrants were initially measured at fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation model and subsequently, the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants have been estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model each measurement date. The fair value of Public Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering have subsequently been measured based on the listed market price of such warrants.
25
Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
We account for our Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Shares of Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Shares of conditionally redeemable Class A common stock (including Class A common stock that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, shares of Class A common stock are classified as stockholders’ equity. Our Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 20,000,000 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption, respectively, are presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Effective with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount, which resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit.
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
We comply with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” We have two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the respective period.
We did not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement to purchase an aggregate of 16,000,000 shares of common stock in the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share because their exercise is contingent upon future events and since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method. As a result, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share for the three months ended September 30, 2021, and 2020, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and the period from June 4, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2020. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A common stock is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
Recent Issued Accounting Standards
In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-06, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. The ASU also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity-linked contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, and it simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. The guidance may be early adopted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Our management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material impact on our financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2021, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.
JOBS Act
The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, the financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis) and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our Initial Public Offering or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2021, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer has concluded that during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2021, because of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Specifically, the Company’s management has concluded that our control around the interpretation and accounting for certain complex features of the Class A common stock and warrants issued by the Company was not effectively designed or maintained. This material weakness resulted in the restatement of the Company’s balance sheet as of August 25, 2020, its financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2020 and its interim financial statements for the quarters ended September 30, 2020, March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021.
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2021 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting except for the below.
The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer performed additional accounting and financial analyses and other post-closing procedures including consulting with subject matter experts related to the accounting for certain complex features of the Class A common stock and warrants. The Company’s management has expended, and will continue to expend, a substantial amount of effort and resources for the remediation and improvement of our internal control over financial reporting. While we have processes to properly identify and evaluate the appropriate accounting technical pronouncements and other literature for all significant or unusual transactions, we have expanded and will continue to improve these processes to ensure that the nuances of such transactions are effectively evaluated in the context of the increasingly complex accounting standards.
