On August 10, 2022, FAST Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) issued a press release (the “Press Release”) announcing that it will redeem all of its outstanding shares of Class A common stock, effective as of August 26, 2022, because the Company will not consummate an initial business combination within the time period required by its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. The Press Release also disclosed that on August 9, 2022, a lawsuit was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware by Special Opportunities Fund, Inc. as a putative class action against the Company, Fast Sponsor, LLC, and the Company’s directors. The lawsuit alleges breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment, and seeks to enjoin dissolution and the distribution of any net assets outside of the Company’s trust account, or to impose a constructive trust over such net assets, and to order defendants to distribute such net assets to the holders of public shares or to award damages. The defendants believe the lawsuit is without merit and intend to defend it vigorously. A copy of the Press Release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
