This Amendment No. 1 amends the Statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 24, 2019 (as amended to date, the “Schedule 13D”), which relates to the common stock (“Common Stock”), Class A common stock, par value $0.10 per share of Bowl America Incorporated (the “Issuer” or the “Company”). Capitalized terms used herein an d not otherwise defined have the meaning assigned to such terms in the Schedule 13D. This Amendment No. 1 amends Item 3, 4, 6 and 7 of the Schedule 13D as set forth below and, accordingly, all other items or responses not described herein remain as previously reported in the Schedule 13D.
Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
On October 15, 2019, the Reporting Person was designated successor trustee and a beneficiary of the Leslie H. Goldberg Revocable Trust upon the passing of Mr. Leslie H. Goldberg, which holds 494,594 shares of Class A common stock. Ms. Fabian is an original stockholder of the Issuer and additional shares acquired over the years consist of shares received through inheritance either directly or in the capacity as a trustee.
On May 27, 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Bowlero Corp. (“Parent”), and Potomac Merger Sub, Inc., an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”). The Merger Agreement provides for, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, and in accordance with Maryland General Corporation Law, the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company with the Company being the surviving corporation as an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”).
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.10 per share (“Class A Common Stock”) and Class B common stock, par value $0.10 per share (“Class B Common Stock,” and together with the Class A Common Stock, “Common Stock”) (other than (i) shares of Common Stock held by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) shares of Common Stock held by Parent or any of its subsidiaries, and (iii) shares of Class B Common Stock whose holders have not voted in favor of adopting the merger agreement and have demanded and perfected their appraisal rights in accordance with, and have complied in all respects with, the Maryland General Corporation Law) will be cancelled and will be converted automatically into the right to receive $8.53 per share in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”).
In addition, in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, stockholders owning a majority of the voting power of the Company’s Class B Common Stock (“Majority Holders”), including, but not limited to, the Reporting Person, have entered into voting and support agreements with Parent that cover in excess of a majority of the outstanding voting power of the Common Stock, pursuant to which, unless the voting and support agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms (including upon a termination of the Merger Agreement), the Majority Holders have agreed to, among other things, vote, or cause to be voted, all of their respective shares of Common Stock in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of any related proposal in furtherance of the Merger and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The vote of the Majority Holders is sufficient to approve the Merger Agreement.
The foregoing descriptions of the Merger Agreement and the Voting and Support Agreement are only a summary, do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement and Voting and Support Agreement, which are filed as exhibits hereto, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
