Item 1. Security and Issuer.

This statement on Schedule 13D (this “Schedule 13D”) relates to the shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, (the “Common Stock”) of FaZe Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”, the “Company” or “FaZe”), whose principal executive offices are located at 720 N. Cahuenga Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90038.

Item 2. Identity and Background.

(a) and (f) This Schedule 13D is filed by Lee Trink, a United States citizen and Dare Mighty Entertainment, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company wholly owned by Mr. Trink (the “Reporting Persons”).

(b) and (c). The principal business address for the Reporting Persons is c/o FaZe Holdings Inc., 720 N. Cahuenga Blvd., Los Angeles, California 90038. The principal business of Dare Mighty Entertainment, LLC is to hold the securities reported herein. Mr. Trink is the Chief Executive Officer and a member of the board of the directors of the Issuer.

(d) and (e). Neither of the Reporting Persons have during the last five years has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and, as a result of such proceeding, was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

On October 24, 2021, the Issuer, previously known as B. Riley Principal 150 Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation (“BRPM”), BRPM Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of BRPM (“Merger Sub”), and FaZe Clan Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Legacy FaZe”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, as amended on December 29, 2021 and March 10, 2022 (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other transactions, Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy FaZe (the “Merger”), whereupon the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub ceased and Legacy FaZe continued as the surviving corporation in the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of BRPM (the Merger with the other transactions described in the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”). In connection with the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), BRPM changed its name to “FaZe Holdings Inc.” The Business Combination closed on July 19, 2022 (the “Closing Date”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each share of Legacy FaZe common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Closing (including the Legacy FaZe common stock issued upon the exercise of Legacy FaZe common stock purchase warrants and the conversion of the Legacy FaZe Notes and Legacy FaZe’s preferred stock) was cancelled and converted into the right to receive shares of Common Stock, including Earnout Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement). In the Business Combination, Lee Trink received 2,685,141 shares of Common Stock (including options, as described below) and 190,125 Earnout Shares, and Dare Mighty Entertainment, LLC received 2,493,282 shares of Common Stock and 183,098 Earnout Shares.

Each Earnout Share will vest and no longer be subject to forfeiture if, at any time during the period commencing 90 days after the Closing Date and ending on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, the volume-weighted average price of the Issuer Common Stock exceeds certain thresholds as discussed below. One-third of these Earnout Shares will vest if the volume-weighted average price of Issuer Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 for any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period, one-third will vest if the volume-weighted average price of the Issuer Common Stock equals or exceeds $14.00 for any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period, and one-third will vest if the volume-weighted average price of the Issuer Common Stock equals or exceeds $16.00 for any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period. Unvested Earnout Shares entitle the holder to voting rights over such shares.

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each stock option outstanding under Legacy FaZe’s existing incentive plans that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into an option relating to Common Stock on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such stock option immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “FaZe Stock Option”), except that the number of options and exercise price(s) were adjusted per the ratios set forth in the Merger Agreement. In the Merger, Lee Trink received an aggregate of 2,272,347 FaZe Stock Options.


Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

The Reporting Persons may seek to acquire additional securities of the Issuer (which may include rights or securities exercisable or convertible into securities of the Issuer) from time to time, and/or may seek to sell or otherwise dispose of some or all of the Issuer’s securities from time to time, in each case, in open market or private transactions, block sales or otherwise, including in connection with extraordinary corporate transactions, such as a tender offer, merger or consolidation that would result in the de-listing of the Common Stock, or through in-kind distributions. The Reporting Persons expect to continue to actively evaluate such transactions, and to take other actions intended to position the Reporting Persons to opportunistically engage in one or more of such transactions in the future. Subject to the agreements described herein, any transaction that the Reporting Persons may pursue may be made at any time and from time to time without prior notice and will depend on a variety of factors, including, without limitation, the price and availability of the Issuer’s securities, subsequent developments affecting the Issuer, the Issuer’s business and the Issuer’s prospects, other investment and business opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, general industry and economic conditions, the securities markets in general, tax considerations and other factors deemed relevant by the Reporting Persons.

Except as described in this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons do not have any present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions described in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D, although, the Reporting Persons, at any time and from time to time, may review, reconsider and change such position and/or change their purpose and/or develop such plans and may seek to influence management of the Issuer or the Board with respect to the business and affairs of the Issuer and may from time to time consider pursuing or proposing such matters with advisors, the Issuer or other persons.
