Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

On May 27, 2021, the Company, Parent and Merger Sub entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). 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”). Upon closing of the Merger, the Company will become a privately held company and its Class A Common Stock will no longer be listed or traded on the NYSE American.

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 and Class B 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, the Merger Agreement contemplates Bowl America declaring a special dividend in accordance with Maryland law following the liquidation of its securities portfolio in an amount equal to $0.60 per share. The payment of this dividend is contingent on the closing of the Merger.

Consummation of the Merger is subject to customary conditions, including without limitation: (i) the approval of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the aggregate number of votes entitled to be cast by holders of Common Stock, voting together as a single class, as of the record date for the special meeting (the “Requisite Company Vote”) and (ii) the absence of any order enjoining or prohibiting the Merger. Moreover, each party’s obligation to consummate the Merger is subject to certain other conditions, including without limitation: (a) the accuracy of the other party’s representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement (subject to certain materiality qualifiers) and (b) the other party’s compliance with its covenants and agreements contained in the Merger Agreement in all material respects. In addition, the obligation of Parent to consummate the Merger is subject to the non-occurrence of any Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement) from the date of the Merger Agreement to the Effective Time. Availability of financing for the Merger is not a condition to Parent’s obligations to consummate the Merger. Parent intends to pay the Merger Consideration out of its available cash and existing financing sources.

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, stockholders owning a majority of the outstanding voting power of the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock (“Majority Holders”), including, but not limited to, Merle Fabian, a member of the Board, have entered into voting and support agreements with Parent (the “Voting and Support Agreement”) pursuant to which, unless the Voting and Support Agreements are terminated in accordance with their terms (including upon a termination of the Merger Agreement), the Majority Holders have agreed to, among other things, (i) 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, (ii) not transfer any such shares, with certain limited exceptions, and (iii) not solicit an alternative transaction or engage in negotiations with respect to or otherwise facilitate an alternative transaction. The vote of the Majority Holders is sufficient to approve the Merger and the Merger Agreement and satisfy the Requisite Company Vote. The shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Majority Holders have not been purchased by the Reporting Persons, and thus no funds were used for such purpose. The Reporting Persons have not paid any monetary consideration to the Majority Holders in connection with the execution and delivery of the Voting and Support 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.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

Parent and Merger Sub entered into the Merger Agreement so that the Company will become an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent pursuant to the Merger. Upon closing of the Merger, the Company will become a privately held company and its Class A common stock will no longer be listed or traded on the NYSE American. Parent entered into the Voting and Support Agreements in furtherance of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The information set forth in Item 3 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated herein by reference.

Except as otherwise set forth in this Item 4, none of the Reporting Persons have any present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Reporting Persons specifically reserve the right to change their intention with respect to any or all of such matters. In reaching any decision as to their course of action (as well as to the specific elements thereof), the Reporting Persons currently expect that they would take into consideration a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the following: the Issuer’s business and prospects; other developments concerning the Issuer and its businesses generally; other business opportunities available to the Reporting Persons; developments with respect to the business of the Reporting Persons; changes in law and government regulations; general economic conditions; and money and stock market conditions, including the market price of the securities of the Issuer.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a)—(b) The information relating to the beneficial ownership of Common Stock by each of the Reporting Persons set forth in Rows 7 through 13 of the cover pages hereto is incorporated by reference. Immediately prior to the execution of the Voting and Support Agreements, the Reporting Persons did not own any shares of Common Stock. However, by virtue of the Voting and Support Agreements, pursuant to which, unless the Voting and Support Agreements are terminated in accordance with their terms (including upon a termination of the Merger Agreement), the Majority Holders have agreed to, among other things, (i) 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, (ii) not transfer any such shares, with certain limited exceptions, and (iii) not solicit an alternative transaction or engage in negotiations with respect to or otherwise facilitate an alternative transaction, under the definition of “beneficial ownership” as set forth in Rule 13d-3 under the Act, Parent may be deemed to share voting power of the shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock beneficially owned by the other parties to the Voting and Support Agreements. By virtue of Parent’s shared voting power of the Shares (as herein defined), each of the other Reporting Person may also be deemed to have shared voting power of the Shares for the reasons discussed in Item 2 and this Item 5. As a result, the Reporting Persons each may be deemed the beneficial owner of, 2,769,497 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Shares”), which includes 1,394,830 shares of Class B Common Stock, the holders of which have the right to convert each share of Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company on a one-for-one basis. Such number of shares of Common Stock represent 85.6% of the outstanding voting power of the shares of Common Stock. This percentage of the outstanding voting power of the shares of Common Stock is calculated based upon the shares of Common Stock of the Company reported as outstanding in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 28, 2021 that was filed with the SEC on May 11, 2021 of: (a) 3,746,454 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.10 per share outstanding, entitled to cast one vote per share on each matter on which the holders of the Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock are entitled to vote as a single class, and (b) 1,414,517 shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.10 per share, entitled to cast ten votes per share on each matter on which the holders of the Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock are entitled to vote as a single class.

Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of the Shares for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act, or for any other purpose, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed.

(c) Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D, no Reporting Person nor, to the knowledge of the applicable Reporting Person, any of the persons set forth on Schedules 1 or 2 hereto, has effected any transaction in the Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock in the 60 days preceding the date hereof.
