Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

On February 7, 2022, Bowlero Corp. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that its board of directors had approved a program for repurchase of up to an aggregate amount of $200 million of its shares of Class A common stock and warrants.

Share and warrant repurchases and the timing thereof will depend upon market conditions, corporate liquidity requirements and priorities, debt agreement limitations and other factors as may be considered in the Company’s sole discretion. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any particular amount of Class A common stock or warrants and may be suspended or discontinued at any time without notice. Repurchases may be made in the open market, by block purchase, or in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Repurchases may also be made pursuant to a trading plan under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, which would permit shares to be repurchased when the Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so because of self-imposed trading blackout periods or other regulatory restrictions. The text of the press release announcing the repurchase program is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The information referenced under Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including exhibit 99.1, is being “furnished” under “Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure” and, as such, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall the information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
