Common Stock, Preferred Stock and Stockholders’ Equity

(14)Common Stock, Preferred Stock and Stockholders’ Equity

The Company is authorized to issue three classes of stock to be designated, respectively, Class A common stock, Class B common stock (together with Class A common stock, the “Common Stock”) and Preferred Stock. The total number of shares of capital stock which the Company shall have authority to issue is 2,400,000,000, divided into the following:

Class A common stock:

Authorized:2,000,000,000 shares, with a par value of $0.0001 per share as of June 28, 2026 and June 29, 2025.

Issued and Outstanding:80,789,825 shares (inclusive of 1,573,623 shares contingent on certain stock price thresholds but excluding 45,193,723 shares held in treasury) as of June 28, 2026 and 81,684,310 shares (inclusive of 1,581,366 shares contingent on certain stock price thresholds but excluding 40,868,233 shares held in treasury) as of June 29, 2025.

Class B common stock:

Authorized:200,000,000 shares, with a par value of $0.0001 per share as of June 28, 2026 and June 29, 2025.

Issued and Outstanding:55,519,437 and 58,519,437 shares as of June 28, 2026 and June 29, 2025, respectively.

Preferred stock:

Authorized:200,000,000 shares, with a par value of $0.0001 per share as of June 28, 2026 and June 29, 2025.

Issued and Outstanding:117,087 as of June 28, 2026 and June 29, 2025.

The rights of the holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to conversion and voting. Shares of Class B common stock are convertible into an equivalent number of shares (one-for-one) of Class A common stock automatically upon transfer, or upon the earliest to occur of the 15th anniversary of the Closing Date, or terms associated with Thomas F. Shannon, which consists of his death or disability, ceasing to beneficially own at least 10% of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock or his employment as our CEO for being terminated for cause. Holders of Class B common stock may convert their shares into shares of Class A common stock at any time at their option. Holders of Class A common stock are entitled toone vote per share and holders of Class B common stock are entitled toten votes per share. Any dividends paid to the holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock will be paid out in cash, property, or shares. On a liquidation event, any distribution to common stockholders is made on a pro rata basis to the holders of the Class A common stock and Class B common stock.

During the year ended June 28, 2026,3,000,000 shares of Class B Stock were converted into 3,000,000 shares of Class A common stock.

Series A preferred stock

Holders of Preferred Stock have voting rights in certain matters that require vote or consent of holders representing a majority of the outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock. There are no other voting rights associated with the Preferred Stock as long as management holds over 50% of the equity voting power.

Regular dividends on the Preferred Stock accumulate on a cumulative basis on a 360-day year commencing from the issue date. The dividend rate is fixed at 5.5% per annum on the current liquidation preference per share of the Preferred Stock. The initial liquidation preference was $1,000 per share. Payment dates are June 30 and December 31 of each year with a record date of June 15 for the June 30 payment date and December 15 for the December 31 payment date. Declared dividends will be paid in cash if the Company declares the dividend to be paid in cash. If the Company does not pay all or any portion of the dividends that have accumulated as of any payment date, then the dollar amount of the dividends not paid in cash will be added to the liquidation preference and deemed to be declared and paid in-kind. For the fiscal year ended June 28, 2026, $7,099 accumulated dividends were added to the liquidation preference and deemed to be declared and paid in-kind, and dividends in the amount of $7,293 were accumulated on the Preferred Stock. For the fiscal year ended June 29, 2025, $3,407 accumulated dividends were added to the liquidation preference and deemed to be declared and paid in-kind, and dividends in the amount of $6,890 were accumulated on the Preferred Stock.

The Preferred Stock is redeemable if a Fundamental Change occurs and each holder will have the right to require the Company to repurchase such holders’ shares of Preferred Stock or any portion thereof for a cash purchase price. A Fundamental Change includes events such as a person or a group becoming direct or indirect owners of shares of the Company’s Common Stock representing more than 50% of the voting power, consummation of a transaction with which all the Common Stock is exchanged for, converted into, acquired for, or constitutes solely the right to receive cash or other property, Company’s stockholders approve any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company, or the Company’s Common Stock ceases to be listed on any of the NYSE or The Nasdaq Global Market or The Nasdaq Global Select Market (or any of their respective successors).

The Preferred Stock has conversion options providing (1) the holder the right to submit all, or any whole number of shares that is less than all, of their shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to an Option Conversion and (2) the Company has the right to exercise at its election a Mandatory Conversion settled in Common Stock with the exception of the payment of cash in lieu of any fractional shares following the second anniversary of the initial issue date, if the closing price of the stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period. Additionally, the Company may, from time to time, repurchase Preferred Stock in the open market purchases or in negotiated transactions without delivering prior notice to holders of Preferred Stock.

The Company has classified the Preferred Stock as temporary equity as the shares have certain redemption features that are not solely in the control of the Company. The Preferred Stock is not currently redeemable because the deemed liquidation provision is considered a substantive condition that is contingent on the event and it is not currently probable that it will become redeemable.

Shares Repurchase Program

On February 7, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a share and warrant repurchase program providing for repurchases of up to $200,000 of the Company’s outstanding Class A common stock and warrants through February 3, 2024. On each of May 15, 2023, September 6, 2023 and February 2, 2024, the Board of Directors authorized a replenishment of then-remaining balance of the share repurchase program to $200,000, which in aggregate increased the total amount that has been authorized under the share repurchase program to approximately $551,518. Treasury stock purchases are stated at cost and presented as a reduction of equity on the consolidated balance sheets. Repurchases of shares and warrants are made in accordance with applicable securities laws and may be made from time to time in the open market or by negotiated transactions. The amount and timing of repurchases are based on a variety of factors, including stock price, regulatory limitations, debt agreement limitations, and other market and economic factors. The share repurchase plan does not require the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares, and the Company may terminate the repurchase plan at any time.

As of June 28, 2026, the remaining balance of the repurchase plan was $56,781. For the fiscal year ended June 28, 2026,4,325,490 shares of Class A common stock were repurchased for a total of $35,442, for an average purchase price per share of $8.19, and bringing the cumulative total shares repurchased to 45,193,723 for a total of $489,355 at an average per share price of $10.83.

(15)Share-Based Compensation

The Company hasthree stock plans: the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (“2017 Plan”), the Lucky Strike Entertainment Corporation 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“2021 Plan”) and the Lucky Strike Entertainment Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). The stock incentive plans are designed to attract and retain key personnel by providing them the opportunity to acquire equity interest in the Company and align the interest of key personnel with those of the Company’s stockholders.

2017 Plan

The 2017 Plan was approved on September 29, 2017 and is a broad-based plan that provides for the grant of non-qualified stock options to our executives and certain other employees for up to a maximum of 16,316,506 shares (retroactively stated for application of the recapitalization). The 2017 Plan was subsequently amended on January 7, 2020 to 50,581,181 shares (retroactively stated for application of the recapitalization). As of the Closing Date, no additional options are available to be granted under the 2017 Plan. The 2017 Plan was administered by the Board of Directors, which approved grants to individuals, number of options, terms, conditions, performance measures, and other provisions of the award. Awards were generally granted based on the individual’s performance. Stock options granted under the 2017 Plan had a maximum contractual term oftwelve years from the date of grant, an exercise price not less than the fair value of the stock on the grant date and generally vested over four years in equal quarterly installments for the time-based options and upon occurrence of a liquidity event for the performance-based options.

ESPP

On December 14, 2021, the Board of Directors approved the ESPP, subject to stockholder approval. The ESPP became effective July 1, 2022, and purchase rights may be granted under the ESPP prior to stockholder approval, but no purchase rights may be exercised unless and until stockholder approval is obtained. The maximum number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock available for sale under the ESPP shall not exceed an aggregate of 4,926,989 shares, subject to an annual increase on the first day of each calendar year beginning on January 1, 2022 and ending on and including January 1, 2031, equal to the least of (i)1% of the aggregate number of Shares outstanding on the final day of the immediately preceding calendar year, (ii)1,753,487 Shares and (iii) such number of shares as is determined by the Board. If the aggregate funds available for purchase of the Shares would cause an issuance of Shares in excess of the Shares then available for issuance under the ESPP, the Committee will proportionately reduce the number of Shares that would otherwise be purchased by each participant to eliminate the excess. Under the ESPP, employees are offered the option to purchase discounted shares of Class A common stock during offering periods designated by the administrator. Each offering period will be one year commencing each January 1 and ending on December 31 with the exception of the initial offering period, which commenced on July 1, 2022 and will end on December 31, 2022. Shares are purchased on the applicable exercise dates, which is the last trading day of each purchase period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the grant date fair values of ESPP awards.

(17)Segment Reporting

We manage our business activities on a consolidated basis and operate as a single operating segment: Location-based entertainment.

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Thomas Shannon, is the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The CODM reviews the financial information presented on a consolidated basis since the Company provides its offerings and views key metrics, costs and margins similarly among our various location-based entertainment venues.

As a result, the CODM assesses performance and allocates resources based on net (loss) income, as reported on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. The CODM manages and evaluates the results of the business in a consolidated manner to drive synergies and develop uniform strategies. Accordingly, key components and processes of the Company’s operations are centrally managed, including location acquisitions and development, customer service, marketing, human resources, finance and accounting, legal and government affairs. Segment asset information is not used by the CODM to allocate resources. The operating financial results along with significant segment expenses and other segment items are presented on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.
