Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 8-K was filed by Muscle Maker, Inc. (trading symbol: GRIL) on June 12, 2023. The report covers unaudited preliminary financial results for Sadot LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary, and details significant changes to the Company's Board of Directors.
Key Financial Metrics
The filing references unaudited preliminary financial results for Sadot LLC but does not explicitly state revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity figures within the text of this report. Specific financial data is contained in the press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1.
However, the filing notes specific net income thresholds achieved by Sadot LLC that triggered director appointments:
- Net income of $3.3 million achieved by December 31, 2022.
- Net income of $6.6 million achieved by April 10, 2023.
- Net income of $9.9 million achieved by June 9, 2023.
Material Changes
The primary material change reported is the expansion of the Board of Directors from twelve to fifteen members. This expansion was driven by a Services Agreement with Aggia LLC FC, which grants Aggia the right to nominate up to eight directors based on Sadot LLC's net income performance.
Recent appointments include:

- Hannah Oh and Ray Shankar (appointed December 31, 2022).

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing does not provide forward-looking guidance, management commentary on future operations, or specific risk factors beyond the standard legal disclaimers. The text notes that the financial information in Item 2.02 is not deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act and is not incorporated by reference into other filings.
Unusual items include the specific contractual arrangement where a third-party service provider (Aggia) gains significant board control contingent upon the subsidiary's profitability milestones.
