Securities registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Act:

On October 19, 2022, Muscle Maker, Inc. (the “Company”) formed Sadot LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Sadot”). On November 14, 2022 (the “Effective Date”), the Company, Sadot and Aggia LLC FC, a company formed under the laws of the United Arab Emirates (“Aggia”) entered into a Services Agreement whereby Sadot engaged Aggia to provide certain advisory services to Sadot for creating, acquiring and managing Sadot’s business of delivering food farm to table, wholesaling food and engaging in the purchase and sale of physical food commodities. The closing date of the Services Agreement was November 16, 2022. The parties entered into an Addendum 1 to the Services Agreement on November 17, 2022.

Subject to certain net income thresholds, Aggia has the right to nominate up to eight directors (the “Designated Directors”) to the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company, seven of which will meet the independence requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market and the Company will take such actions as reasonably required to name the directors which Aggia has the right to nominate to the Board. On December 27, 2022, Aggia nominated Benjamin Petel as the initial Designated Director and the Board voted to increase the size of the Board from seven to eight and appointed Mr. Petel as a director of the Company to fill such vacancy. As of December 31, 2022, Sadot has generated $3.3 million in net income and, as a result, Aggia was entitled to nominate two additional board members. On February 2, 2023, the Company voted to increase the size of the Board from eight to ten and approved the appointment of Ms. Hannah Oh and Mr. Ray Shankar to the Board of Directors effective March 1, 2023. Since January 1, 2020, the Company and Ms. Oh and Mr. Shankar have not entered into any transaction nor is there any currently proposed transaction, in which the Company was or is to be a participant involving an amount exceeding $120,000, and in which Ms. Oh and Mr. Shankar had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.
