You are cordially invited to attend the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of FaZe Holdings Inc. (“FaZe,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”). The Annual Meeting will be held in a virtual format only on Wednesday, June 13, 2023, at 11:30 a.m. PDT at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/FAZE2023. You will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting physically. To be admitted to the virtual Annual Meeting, stockholders must enter their control number on the virtual meeting website. A stockholder’s control number may be found either on the proxy card or on the notice of internet availability of proxy materials.

As described in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Proxy Statement, the agenda for the Annual Meeting includes:

We are using the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rule that permits companies to furnish their proxy materials over the Internet. Unless you have opted out of receiving notice of internet availability of proxy materials (“Notice”), instead of mailing you a paper copy of the proxy materials, we will mail to you a Notice containing instructions on how to access our proxy materials over the Internet. Therefore, if a proxy card was not sent to you and you may vote only via telephone or online if you do not attend the Annual Meeting.

We urge you to vote your proxy as soon as possible. Your vote is very important, regardless of the number of shares you own. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting in person, we urge you to vote your shares online, by telephone or, if you have chosen to receive paper copies of the proxy materials by mail, by signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card promptly in the accompanying postage prepaid envelope. You may, of course, attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person even if you have previously returned your proxy card. This Proxy Statement and the enclosed proxy card are first being sent or made available to stockholders on or about May 1, 2023. On behalf of the Board of Directors and all of our employees, we wish to thank you for your support.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of FaZe Holdings Inc. (“FaZe,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) will be held virtually on Wednesday, June 13, 2023 at 11:30 a.m. PDT at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/FAZE2023, subject to adjournment or postponement by the Board of Directors, for the following purposes:

Only holders of record of our common stock on April 18, 2023, the record date of the Annual Meeting, are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof. A list of stockholders will be available for examination by any stockholder at the time and place of the Annual Meeting.

Holders of a majority of the total voting power of the outstanding shares of the Company must be present in person or represented by proxy in order to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Therefore, whether or not you expect to attend the Annual Meeting in person, we urge you to review the accompanying proxy card and either vote by (a) Internet or by telephone as instructed in this Proxy Statement, or (b) if you have opted out of receiving a notice containing instructions on how to access our proxy materials over the Internet (the “Notice”) and have thus received a paper copy of the proxy materials, by signing, dating and returning your completed proxy in the enclosed postage prepaid envelope. If you received only the Notice, a proxy card was not sent to you, and you may vote only via the Internet or telephone if you do not attend the Annual Meeting, or you may request that a proxy card be mailed to you. If you attend the Annual Meeting and wish to vote your shares personally, you may do so by validly revoking your proxy as described below.

Prior to the voting thereof, a proxy may be revoked by the person executing such proxy by: (i) filing with our Secretary either a duly executed written notice dated subsequent to the proxy revoking it or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or (ii) attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person.

This proxy statement (“Proxy Statement”) is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors (the “Board” or the “Board of Directors”) of FaZe Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“FaZe,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”), of proxies for use at our 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company (the “Annual Meeting”) scheduled to be held at the time and place and for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders. For terms not defined herein, please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

At the Annual Meeting, our stockholders are being asked to consider and to vote upon the following proposals:

Shares represented by properly executed proxies received by us will be voted at the Annual Meeting in the manner specified therein or, if no instructions are marked on the enclosed proxy card, in accordance with the recommendation of the Board of Directors on all matters presented in this Proxy Statement. Although management does not know of any matter other than the proposals described above to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting, unless contrary instructions are given, shares represented by valid proxies will be voted by the persons named on the accompanying proxy card in accordance with their respective best judgment in respect of any other matters that may properly be presented for a vote at the Annual Meeting.

Execution of a proxy will not in any way affect a stockholder’s right to attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person, and any person giving a proxy has the right to revoke it at any time before it is exercised by: (a) filing with our Secretary either a duly executed written notice dated subsequent the proxy revoking it or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or (b) attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person.

The mailing address of our principal executive offices is 720 N. Cahuenga Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90038, and its telephone number is (818) 688-6373.

Only stockholders of record on April 18, 2023 (the “Record Date”) will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. There were outstanding on the Record Date 75,119,027 shares of common stock. Each share of outstanding common stock is entitled to one (1) vote on each of the two director nominees and one (1) vote on each other matter to be voted on at the Annual Meeting.

The presence in person or representation by proxy of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of the common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote is necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. If there are not sufficient shares for a quorum at the time of the Annual Meeting, the Annual Meeting may be adjourned in order to permit the further solicitation of proxies. The voting requirement for each proposal is as follows:

If you are a beneficial owner whose shares are held in “street name” by a broker, you must instruct the broker how to vote your shares. If you do not provide voting instructions on Proposal 1, your shares will not be voted because the broker does not have discretionary authority to vote, resulting in “broker non-votes.” However, your broker has discretionary authority to vote your shares on Proposals 2 and 3, even if the broker does not receive voting instructions from you.

Only votes cast in person at the Annual Meeting or received by proxy before the beginning of the Annual Meeting will be counted. Giving us your proxy means you authorize the proxy holders to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting in the manner you direct. If your shares are held in your name, you can vote by proxy prior to the Annual Meeting in three (3) convenient ways as follows:

Telephone and Internet voting facilities for stockholders of record will be available 24 hours a day and will close at 11:59 p.m. on June 12, 2023.

The Annual Meeting is being held in a virtual format only on Wednesday, June 13, 2023 at 11:30 a.m. PDT at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/FAZE2023. You are entitled to attend the virtual Annual Meeting only if you were a stockholder of record as of the Record Date or you hold a valid proxy for the Annual Meeting.

To attend and submit questions at the Annual Meeting, please log in to www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/FAZE2023 using the control number on your proxy card, voting instruction form, or Notice. Online access to the Annual Meeting will begin approximately 15 minutes prior to the start of the Annual Meeting. As part of the Annual Meeting, we expect to hold a live Q&A session during which we intend to answer appropriate questions submitted during the Annual Meeting that are pertinent to the Company and meeting matters, as time permits.

We encourage you to vote your proxy via the Internet, by telephone, or by mail prior to the Annual Meeting, even if you plan to attend the virtual Annual Meeting. Additional information regarding the rules and procedures for participating in the Annual Meeting will be provided in our meeting rules of conduct, which stockholders can view during the Annual Meeting at the meeting website.

Pursuant to applicable United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules, we are making our proxy materials, including this Proxy Statement and our Annual Report on Form 10-K, available to our stockholders electronically via the Internet at www.proxyvote.com. On or about May 1, 2023, we will mail to stockholders a notice (“Notice”) containing instructions on how to access this Proxy Statement along with our Annual Report on Form 10-K over the Internet, as well as instructions on how to vote online. The Notice also instructs you on how you may submit your proxy vote securely over the Internet or by telephone. If you received a Notice, you will not automatically receive a printed copy of the Proxy Statement and Annual Report. If you would like to receive a printed copy of our proxy materials, you should follow the instructions for requesting such materials as set forth in the Notice.

The cost of soliciting proxies will be paid by us. Following the delivery of this Proxy Statement, directors, officers and other employees may solicit proxies by mail, telephone, facsimile or other electronic means, or by personal interview. These persons will receive no additional compensation for their services. Brokerage houses and other nominees, fiduciaries and custodians nominally holding shares of common stock of record will be requested to forward proxy soliciting material to the beneficial owners of the shares and will be reimbursed by us for their reasonable charges and expenses in connection therewith.

With regard to the delivery of Annual Reports and Proxy Statements, under certain circumstances the SEC permits a single set of these documents or, where applicable, one Notice, to be sent to any household at which two or more stockholders reside if they appear to be members of the same family. Each stockholder, however, still receives a separate proxy card. This procedure, known as “householding,” reduces the amount of duplicate information received at a household and reduces delivery and printing costs as well. A number of banks, brokers and other firms have instituted householding and have previously sent a notice to that effect to certain of our stockholders whose shares are registered in the name of the bank, broker or other firm. As a result, unless the stockholders receiving the notice gave contrary instructions, only one Annual Report and/or Proxy Statement, as applicable, will be delivered to an address at which two (2) or more stockholders reside. If any stockholder residing at the address wishes to receive a separate Annual Report or Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting or for future stockholder meetings, the stockholder should telephone toll-free 1-800-579-1639, or write to FaZe Holdings, Inc., c/o Broadridge, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717. A separate set of proxy materials relating to the Annual Meeting will be sent promptly following receipt of your request. In addition, if any stockholder who previously consented to householding desires to receive a separate copy of a Proxy Statement or Annual Report, as applicable, for each stockholder at his or her same address, the stockholder should contact his or her bank, broker or other firm in whose name the shares are registered or contact us at the address or telephone number listed on page 0 of this Proxy Statement. Similarly, a stockholder may use any of these methods if the stockholder is receiving multiple copies of a Proxy Statement or Annual Report and would prefer to receive a single copy in the future.

FaZe’s business and affairs are managed under the direction of its Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors presently consists of nine (9) members (each, a “Director”). The FaZe Board is divided into three classes, with two Directors in Class I (Mickie Rosen and Ross Levinsohn), three Directors in Class II (Angela Dalton, Nick Lewin and Paul Hamilton), and four Directors in Class III (Lee Trink, Bruce Gordon, Daniel Shribman and Andre Fernandez).

Nasdaq rules generally require that a majority of the board of directors be independent.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for identifying, screening and recommending candidates to the Board for Board membership. When formulating its Board membership recommendations, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers advice and recommendations from others, including stockholders, as it deems appropriate.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for assessing the appropriate balance of criteria required of Board members and may apply several criteria in selecting nominees. At a minimum, the

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers (i) whether each such nominee has demonstrated, by significant accomplishment in his or her field, an ability to make meaningful contributions to the Board’s oversight of the business and affairs of the Company and (ii) the nominee’s reputation for honesty and ethical conduct in his or her personal and professional activities. Additional factors that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may consider include a candidate’s specific experiences and skills, expertise, diversity, personal and professional integrity, character, business judgment, time availability in light of other commitments, dedication, potential conflicts of interest and such other relevant factors that the Committee consider appropriate in the context of the Board’s needs.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider candidates recommended by stockholders. In considering candidates submitted by stockholders, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will take into consideration the needs of the Board and the qualifications of the candidate. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may establish procedures, from time to time, regarding stockholders submission of recommendations for Board candidates.

Our Board of Directors has three (3) standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The following table identifies the independent members of the Board of Directors and lists the members and chairperson of each of these committees:

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) consists of Angela Dalton, Mickie Rosen, and Andre Fernandez, with Ms. Dalton serving as the chairperson. The Board has determined that each member of the Audit Committee qualifies as an independent director under the independence requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and Nasdaq listing requirements. The Board has determined that Ms. Dalton qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K.

The Audit Committee’s responsibilities include, among other things:

Following the closing of the business combination on July 19, 2022, the Audit Committee held two (2) regularly scheduled meetings in 2022 and operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors. This charter is available on our website (https://investor.fazeclan.com).

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) consists of Daniel Shribman, Andre Fernandez, and Ross Levinsohn, with Mr. Shribman serving as the chairperson. The Board has determined that each member of the Compensation Committee is “independent” as defined under Nasdaq requirements and SEC rules and regulations.

The Compensation Committee’s responsibilities include, among other things:

Following the closing of the business combination on July 19, 2022, the Compensation Committee held one (1) regularly scheduled meeting in 2022. The Compensation Committee meets at least twice annually and at additional times as are necessary or advisable to fulfill its duties and responsibilities.

The Compensation Committee operates pursuant to a written charter that was approved by the Board of Directors. The charter sets forth the responsibilities of the Compensation Committee. This charter is available on our website (https://investor.fazeclan.com).

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee”) consists of Ross Levinsohn, Paul Hamilton, and Mickie Rosen, with Mr. Levinsohn serving as the chairperson. The Board has determined that each member of the nominating and corporate governance committee is “independent” as defined under the applicable listing standards of Nasdaq and SEC rules and regulations. The nominating and corporate governance committee’s responsibilities include, among other things:

Following the closing of the business combination on July 19, 2022, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee did not meet in 2022.

The Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. This charter is available on our website (https://investor.fazeclan.com).

Given the dynamic environment in which we operate, the Board believes that its optimal leadership structure may vary as circumstances warrant. To retain flexibility, the Board does not require the separation of the offices of the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer. However, our Governance Guidelines provide for the selection of a Lead Independent Director if the Chairman of the Board is not an independent director.

Daniel Shribman, one of our independent directors, currently serves as Chairman of the Board. The Board currently believes that having an independent Chairman is in the best interests of the Company at this time because it allows Mr. Trink to devote his time and attention to the day-to-day operations of the Company, while allowing Mr. Shribman to focus on leading the Board and supporting the initiatives of the Company and management. The Board also believes that our current leadership structure, with the separation of the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer positions, together with independent leadership at the committee level, enhances the Board’s effectiveness in risk oversight, as further described below.

The Board of Directors has extensive involvement in the oversight of risk management related to FaZe and its business and accomplishes this oversight through the regular reporting to the Board by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is tasked with periodically reviewing FaZe’s accounting, reporting and financial practices, including the integrity of its financial statements, the surveillance of administrative and financial controls and its compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Through its regular meetings with management, including the finance, legal, internal audit and information technology functions, the Audit Committee reviews and discusses all significant areas of FaZe’s business and summarizes for the Board all areas of risk and the appropriate mitigating factors. In addition, the Board receives periodic detailed operating performance updates from management.

Following the closing of the business combination on July 19, 2022, the Board of Directors held two (2) regularly scheduled meetings and one (1) special meetings in 2022. During 2022, each of our incumbent Directors attended more than seventy-five percent (75%) of the aggregate of the number of meetings of the Board and the total number of meetings held by all committees of the Board on which he or she served, with the exception of Mr. Broadus.

Each director is invited and encouraged to attend our annual meeting of stockholders.

The following Board Diversity Matrix presents our board diversity statistics, as self-disclosed by our directors. As we pursue future board recruitment efforts, our nominating and corporate governance committee will continue to seek out candidates who can contribute to the diversity of views and perspectives of the board This includes seeking out individuals of diverse ethnicities, a balance in terms of gender, and individuals with diverse perspectives informed by other personal and professional experiences.

We have adopted a code of business conduct that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing

similar functions. The code of business conduct is available on our website, http://fazeclan.com/investors. We intend to make any legally required disclosures regarding amendments to, or waivers of, provisions of its code of ethics on its website. Any information found on our website is not a part of, or incorporated by reference into, this proxy statement or any other report filed with, or furnished to, the SEC by us.

Non-employee Directors of the Company receive an annual retainer and fees. The following table sets forth the compensation of our non-employee Directors in 2022:

Our board of Directors has adopted a non-employee Director compensation program effective as of August 24, 2022 that entitles our non-employee directors to a cash retainer for service on the board of directors and for service on each committee on which the director is a member.

All cash retainers shall be paid prospectively on a quarterly basis, pro-rated for any non-employee Director whose service (or whose service in any of the additional capacities described above) commences during a calendar year. The fees payable to non-employee directors for service on the board of directors and for service on each committee of the board of directors on which the director is a member for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022:

Set forth below are our executive officers, together with the positions held by those persons. The executive officers are elected annually and serve at the pleasure of our Board of Directors; however, we have entered into employment agreements with each of the executive officers listed below.

Set forth below is certain information concerning the business experience during the past five (5) years and other relevant experience of each of the individuals named above (excluding Mr. Lee Trink, whose business experience is described in the section of this Proxy Statement entitled “Board of Directors” above).

The Company’s named executive officers are eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan on the same basis as its other employees. The 401(k) plan is intended to qualify as a tax-qualified plan under Section 401(k) of the Code.

This Audit Committee Report shall not be deemed soliciting material or to be filed with the SEC, nor shall any information in this report be incorporated by reference by any general statement into any past or future filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under the Exchange Act, except to the extent that FaZe Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Corporation”) specifically incorporates this information by reference into such filing, and shall not otherwise be deemed filed under such Acts.

The members of the Audit Committee of the board of directors of FaZe Holdings Inc. submit this report in connection with the committee’s review of the financial reports for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 as follows:

Based on these reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to our board of directors that the audited financial statements be included in FaZe’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 for filing with the SEC.

The Audit Committee operates pursuant to a charter that was approved by our board of directors. A copy of the Audit Committee Charter is available on the corporate governance section of our investor relations website, available at investor.fazeclan.com under the heading “Governance Overview.”

The following table sets forth information known to the Company regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of the Record Date (unless otherwise indicated) by:

Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security, including options, Warrants (as defined herein) and restricted stock units that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days. Except as described in the footnotes below and subject to applicable community property laws and similar laws, we believe that each person listed below has sole voting and investment power with respect to such shares.

The beneficial ownership of our common stock is based on 75,119,027 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the Record Date.

We prohibit our directors, officers and employees from engaging (directly or indirectly) in hedging transactions, or otherwise engaging in transactions that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of Company securities. Hedging transactions include, but are not limited to, collars, equity swaps, exchange funds and prepaid variable forward sale contracts. In addition, we prohibit our directors, officers and employees from engaging in short sales of our securities.

Pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder, our officers and directors and persons who beneficially own more ten percent (10%) of our common stock are required to: (a) report with the SEC their initial ownership and change in ownership with respect to all of our equity securities; and (b) furnish us with copies of those reports. As a practical matter, we assist our officers and directors in preparing initial ownership reports and reporting ownership changes and we typically file these reports on their behalf.

Based solely on our review of such reports filed with the SEC during or with respect to the year ended December 31, 2022 and written representations from our officers and directors, we believe that our officers, directors and more than ten percent (10%) stockholders complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to those reporting persons, except for: (a) each of Calvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr., Andre J. Fernandez, Bruce Alan Gordon, Paul Hamilton, Ross Levinsohn, Nick Lewin, Christoph Pachler and Mickie Rosen who filed one Form 4 late reporting one transaction not reported on a timely basis, (b) Christoph Pachler who filed a Form 3 late, and (c) B. Riley Financial, Inc. and affiliates who filed a Form 4 late reporting two transactions not reported on a timely basis.

FaZe’s audit committee has the primary responsibility for reviewing and approving or disapproving “related person transactions,” which are transactions between FaZe and related persons in which the aggregate amount involved exceeds or may be expected to exceed $120,000 and in which a related person has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. The charter of the audit committee of FaZe provides that the audit committee will review and approve in advance any related person transaction.

FaZe has adopted a policy for the review and approval of related person transaction, which will require, among other things, that:

On February 17, 2022, Legacy FaZe Clan Inc. (“Legacy FaZe”) entered into a collaboration agreement with Spanky’s Clothing Inc., Cordell Broadus, Boss Lady Entertainment and SMAC Entertainment for an initial term of two years, pursuant to which Calvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr. became a member of FaZe’s talent network and joined the board of directors on the Closing Date of the Business Combination and agreed to (i) exclusively, except for companies not in direct competition with FaZe, promote FaZe for three years, and (ii) grant FaZe license to use his name and likeness in connection with certain content and services to be produced by him for FaZe, including (w) social media posts, (x) brand campaigns with FaZe sponsors, (y) hosting of events and (z) merchandise collaborations. Calvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr. is the Chief Executive Officer of Spanky’s Clothing Inc. Cordell Broadus is the son of Calvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr. Shante Broadus, the spouse of Calvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr., is the Chief Executive Officer of Boss Lady Entertainment. Constance Schwartz-Mornio, the manager of Calvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr., is the Chief Executive Officer of SMAC Entertainment.

In addition, FaZe agreed to consider in good faith further equity bonuses and committed $50,000 in value for community outreach, including for the Snoop Youth Football League, scholarships or other charitable causes.

In June 2020, B. Riley Principal 150 Sponsor Co., LLC (the “Sponsor”) purchased an aggregate of 4,312,500 Founder Shares from B. Riley Principal 150 Merger Corp. (“BRPM”) in exchange for a capital contribution of $25,000, or approximately $0.006 per share. The Founder Shares automatically converted into 4,312,500 shares of Common Stock in connection with the Merger. Pursuant to the Sponsor Support Agreement, 50% of the Founder Shares are subject to forfeiture following Closing if certain price-based vesting conditions are not met during the five-year period beginning on the date that is 90 days after the Closing and ending on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date.

The Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 520,000 Private Placement Units in connection with BRPM’s initial public offering, at a price of $10.00 per unit, or $5,200,000 in the aggregate. Each Private Placement Unit consisted

of one share of BRPM Class A common stock and one-third of one BRPM warrant. Each whole warrant entitled the holder to purchase one share of BRPM Class A common stock at an initial exercise price of $11.50 per share. As disclosed in the prospectus for BRPM’s IPO, the members of BRPM’s management team and its directors, together with certain officers of companies affiliated with B. Riley Financial who have assisted BRPM in sourcing potential acquisition targets, also invested in the Sponsor by subscribing for units issued by the Sponsor.

Upon the Closing of the Business Combination, the Private Placement Units automatically separated into their underlying components. As of April 18, 2023, there were 173,333 Private Placement Warrants issued and outstanding.

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the PIPE Investors, including investors affiliated with BRPM, entered into a series of subscription agreements (“Subscription Agreements”) providing for the purchase by the PIPE Investors immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination of an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock at a price per share of $10.00, for gross proceeds to FaZe of $100,000,000. At the Closing, investors that had committed to invest approximately $71.4 million in the PIPE Investment defaulted on their commitment. Pursuant to its backstop commitment under the Sponsor Support Agreement the Sponsor committed to purchase, or cause an affiliate or designee to purchase, the portion of the PIPE Investment not purchased by third-party subscribers to cause the actual PIPE Investment received by BRPM to equal $100.0 million (including the $20.0 million PIPE Investment made by an affiliate of the Sponsor), B. Riley Principal Investments, LLC invested approximately $53.4 million in the PIPE Investment.

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, BRPM, FaZe, and the Sponsor entered into the Sponsor Support Agreement, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to (i) invest at least $20,000,000 in the PIPE Investment as well as to backstop the PIPE Investment, if the amount in cash actually received by BRPM from the PIPE Investment at Closing is less than $100,000,000, by committing to purchase that portion of the PIPE Investment not purchased by third party investors to cause the PIPE Investment actually received by BRPM at the Closing to equal $100,000,000, (ii) waive the anti-dilution and conversion price adjustments set forth in BRPM’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation with respect to the Founder Shares, (iii) subject 50% of the Founder Shares to forfeiture following Closing if certain price-based vesting conditions are not met during the Earn-Out Period, (iv) subject the Founder Shares to certain transfer restrictions, and (v) vote all voting equity securities owned by it in favor of the Merger Agreement, Business Combination, and each other proposal presented by BRPM in the proxy statement/prospectus filed in connection with the Business Combination.

At the Closing, investors that had committed to invest approximately $71.4 million in the PIPE Investment defaulted on their commitment. Pursuant to its backstop commitment under the Sponsor Support Agreement the Sponsor committed to purchase, or cause an affiliate or designee to purchase, the portion of the PIPE Investment not purchased by third-party subscribers to cause the actual PIPE Investment received by BRPM to equal $100.0 million (including the $20.0 million PIPE Investment made by an affiliate of the Sponsor), B. Riley Principal Investments, LLC invested approximately $53.4 million in the PIPE Investment.

On July 19, 2022, BRPM entered into a Backstop and Release Agreement (the “Backstop and Release Agreement”) with the Sponsor and Legacy FaZe pursuant to which BRPM assigned to the Sponsor all present and future rights, title, and interest in, to and under the Subscription Agreement of the PIPE Investors who did not satisfy their obligations under their respective Subscription Agreement, and the Sponsor agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, such actions that the Sponsor deems to be proper or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreements, and Legacy FaZe agreed on behalf of itself and FaZe to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Sponsor’s efforts. The Backstop and Release Agreement also includes a release by Legacy FaZe of certain claims against BRPM, the Sponsor and the placement agent of the PIPE Investment arising from or relating to such assignment and related matters.

BRPM paid the Sponsor $3,750 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to members of the BRPM management team. BRPM ceased paying these fees upon completion of the Business Combination.

No compensation of any kind was paid by BRPM to the Sponsor, BRPM’s officers and directors, or any of BRPM’s or their respective affiliates for services rendered prior to or in connection with the Business Combination. However, these individuals were reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses incurred on BRPM’s behalf.

On March 10, 2022, the B. Riley Lender, an affiliate of the Sponsor, entered into a Bridge Loan Agreement with Legacy FaZe pursuant to which the B. Riley Lender agreed (i) to issue the Initial Term Loan in the amount of $10 million and (ii) upon receipt of a borrowing notice from Legacy FaZe, to issue the Final Term Loan in the amount of $10 million. In connection with the Term Loan, on March 10, 2022, FaZe waived the Minimum Proceeds Condition under the Merger Agreement.

The Term Loan was evidenced by a term promissory note and accrues interest at a rate of 7% per year, compounded quarterly. The Term Loan was secured by all assets of FaZe, other than the Excluded Collateral (as defined in the Pledge and Security Agreement), subject to Intercreditor Agreements entered into between the B. Riley Lender and FaZe’s senior lienholders, CPH and Cox. The Term Loan was repaid in full on the Closing Date of the Business Combination.

The following table summarizes the fees billed by our current registered public accounting firm, Marcum LLP (“Marcum”), for professional services rendered during fiscal years 2022 and 2021:

As required under the Audit Committee’s charter, our Audit Committee is responsible for approving all audit, audit-related and certain other services. The Audit Committee reviews and, in its sole discretion, approves the independent auditors’ annual engagement letter, including the proposed fees contained therein, as well as all audit and all permitted non-audit engagements and relationships between the Company and the independent auditor (which approval should be made after receiving input from the Company’s management, if desired).

The current term of the Class I directors will expire at the Annual Meeting. Our board of directors nominated each of Mickie Rosen and Ross Levinsohn for election at the Annual Meeting as a Class I director to hold office until the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2026 and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation or removal. Please see the section titled “Board of Directors” for Ms. Rosen’s and Mr. Levinsohn’s biographies. The nominees have consented to serve a term as Class I directors. Should any of the nominees become unable to serve for any reason prior to the Annual Meeting, the board of directors may designate a substitute nominee, in which event the persons named in the enclosed proxy will vote for the election of such substitute nominee, or may reduce the number of directors on the board of directors.

Each director will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast. Votes that are “withheld” and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” EACH OF THE ABOVE NOMINEES FOR ELECTION AS CLASS I DIRECTORS TO THE BOARD.

FaZe is asking stockholders to adopt and approve a proposed amendment to our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (“Charter”) to effect the Reverse Stock Split. Our Board of Directors has unanimously approved and declared advisable the proposed amendment, and recommends that our stockholders adopt and approve the proposed amendment. The foregoing description of the proposed amendment is a summary and is subject to the full text of the proposed amendment, which is attached to this proxy statement as Appendix A (the “Certificate of Amendment”).

If stockholders approve this proposal, the Board of Directors will cause the Certificate of Amendment to be filed with the Delaware Secretary of State and effect the Reverse Stock Split only if the Board of Directors determines that the Reverse Stock Split would be in the best interests of FaZe and its stockholders. The Reverse Stock Split could become effective as soon as the business day immediately following the Annual Meeting. The Board of Directors also may determine in its discretion not to effect the Reverse Stock Split and not to file the Certificate of Amendment. No further action on the part of stockholders will be required to either implement or abandon the Reverse Stock Split.

The proposed amendment, if effected, will effect a Reverse Stock Split of the outstanding shares of our common stock at a reverse stock split ratio of 1-for-20 or 1-for-30, as determined by our Board of Directors at a later date. As of the Record Date, 75,119,027 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding. Based on such number of shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, immediately following the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split (and without giving any effect to the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares), we will have, depending on the reverse stock split ratio selected by our Board of Directors, issued and outstanding shares of stock as illustrated in the table under the caption “—Effects of the Reverse Stock Split—Effect on Shares of Common Stock”.

All holders of our common stock will be affected proportionately by the Reverse Stock Split.

No fractional shares of common stock will be issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, any stockholder who would have been entitled to receive a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Stock Split will receive cash payments in lieu of such fractional shares. Each common stockholder will hold the same percentage of the outstanding common stock immediately following the Reverse Stock Split as that stockholder did immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split, except to the extent that the Reverse Stock Split results in stockholders receiving cash in lieu of fractional shares. The par value of our common stock will continue to be $0.0001 per share (see “—Effects of the Reverse Stock Split—Reduction in Stated Capital”).

Our Board of Directors has determined that it is in the best interests of FaZe and its stockholders to combine our shares of common stock at one of two (2) reverse stock split ratios, as determined by the Board of Directors at a later date, in order to reduce the number of shares of common stock outstanding. Our Board of Directors authorized the reverse split of our common stock with the primary intent of increasing the per share trading price of our common stock in order to meet Nasdaq’s price criteria for continued listing on that exchange. Our common stock is publicly traded and listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “FAZE.” Accordingly, for these and other reasons discussed below, we believe that effecting the Reverse Stock Split is in FaZe’s and our stockholders’ best interests.

On March 23, 2023, we received a letter (the “Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of Nasdaq informing us that our common stock failed to comply with the $1.00 minimum bid price required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) based upon the closing bid price of the common stock for the 30 consecutive business days prior to the date of the Letter (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we have been provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until September 19, 2023 (the “Compliance Date”), by which we have to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price our must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days at any time prior to the Compliance Date, unless the Staff exercises its discretion to extend this ten-day period.

The Letter also disclosed that, if we do not regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement by the Compliance Date, we may be eligible for an additional 180-calendar day compliance period. To qualify for additional time, FaZE would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and

would need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If FaZe meets these requirements, Nasdaq will inform FaZe that it has been granted an additional 180 calendar days. However, if it appears to the Staff that we will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if we are otherwise not eligible, Nasdaq will provide notice that FaZe’s securities will be subject to delisting.

In addition to bringing the per share trading price of our common stock back above $1.00, we also believe that the Reverse Stock Split will make our common stock more attractive to a broader range of institutional and other investors, as we have been advised that the current per share trading price of our common stock may affect its acceptability to certain institutional investors, professional investors and other members of the investing public. Many brokerage houses and institutional investors have internal policies and practices that either prohibit them from investing in low-priced stocks or tend to discourage individual brokers from recommending low-priced stocks to their customers. In addition, some of those policies and practices may function to make the processing of trades in low-priced stocks economically unattractive to brokers.

Reducing the number of outstanding shares of our common stock through the Reverse Stock Split is intended, absent other factors, to increase the per share trading price of our common stock. However, other factors, such as our financial results, market conditions and the market perception of our business may adversely affect the per share trading price of our common stock. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Reverse Stock Split, if completed, will result in the intended benefits described above, that the per share trading price of our common stock will increase following the Reverse Stock Split or that the per share trading price of our common stock will not decrease in the future.

In determining whether to implement the Reverse Stock Split and which reverse stock split ratio to implement, if any, following receipt of stockholder approval of the amendment to our Charter to effect the Reverse Stock Split, the Board of Directors may consider, among other things, various factors, such as:

The Reverse Stock Split May Not Increase the Price of our Common Stock over the Long-Term. As noted above, the principal purpose of the Reverse Stock Split is to increase the trading price of our common stock to meet the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. However, the effect of the Reverse Stock Split on the market price of our common stock cannot be predicted with any certainty, and the history of reverse stock splits for other companies is varied, particularly since some investors may view a reverse stock split negatively and we cannot assure you that the Reverse Stock Split will accomplish this objective for any meaningful period of time, or at all. While we expect that the reduction in the number of outstanding shares of common stock will proportionally increase the market price of our common stock, we cannot assure you that the Reverse Stock Split will increase the market price of our common stock by a multiple of the Reverse Stock Split ratio, or result in any permanent or sustained increase in the market price of our common stock. The market price of our common stock may be affected by other factors which may be unrelated to the number of shares outstanding, including our business and financial performance, general market conditions, and prospects for future success.

The Reverse Stock Split May Decrease the Liquidity of our Common Stock. The Board of Directors believes that the Reverse Stock Split may result in an increase in the market price of our common stock, which could lead to increased interest in our common stock and possibly promote greater liquidity for our stockholders. However, the Reverse Stock Split will also reduce the total number of outstanding shares of common stock, which may lead to reduced trading and a smaller number of market makers for our common stock, particularly if the price per share of our common stock does not increase as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.

The Reverse Stock Split May Result in Some Stockholders Owning “Odd Lots” That May Be More Difficult to Sell or Require Greater Transaction Costs per Share to Sell. If the Reverse Stock Split is implemented, it will

increase the number of stockholders who own “odd lots” of less than 100 shares of common stock. A purchase or sale of less than 100 shares of common stock (an “odd lot” transaction) may result in incrementally higher trading costs through certain brokers, particularly “full service” brokers. Therefore, those stockholders who own fewer than 100 shares of common stock following the Reverse Stock Split may be required to pay higher transaction costs if they sell their common stock.

The Reverse Stock Split May Lead to a Decrease in our Overall Market Capitalization. The Reverse Stock Split may be viewed negatively by the market and, consequently, could lead to a decrease in our overall market capitalization. If the per share market price of our common stock does not increase in proportion to the Reverse Stock Split ratio, then the value of our Company, as measured by our market capitalization, may be reduced. Additionally, any reduction in our market capitalization may be magnified as a result of the smaller number of total shares of common stock outstanding following the Reverse Stock Split.

The effective time of the Reverse Stock Split (the “Effective Time”), if approved by stockholders and implemented by FaZe, will be the date and time set forth in the Certificate of Amendment that is filed with the Delaware Secretary of State. The Effective Time could occur as soon as the business day immediately following the Annual Meeting. However, the exact timing of the filing of the amendment will be determined by our Board of Directors based on its evaluation as to when such action will be the most advantageous to the Company and our stockholders.

If, at any time prior to the filing of the Certificate of Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State, notwithstanding stockholder approval, and without further action by the stockholders, the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, determines that it is in FaZe’s best interests and the best interests of FaZe’s stockholders to delay the filing of the Certificate of Amendment or abandon the Reverse Stock Split, the Reverse Stock Split may be delayed or abandoned.

Stockholders will not receive fractional shares of common stock in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, the transfer agent will aggregate all fractional shares and sell them as soon as practicable after the Effective Time at the then-prevailing prices on the open market, on behalf of those stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. We expect that the transfer agent will conduct the sale in an orderly fashion at a reasonable pace and that it may take several days to sell all of the aggregated fractional shares of our common stock. After the transfer agent’s completion of such sale, stockholders who would have been entitled to a fractional share will instead receive a cash payment from the transfer agent in an amount equal to their respective pro rata shares of the total proceeds of that sale net of any brokerage costs incurred by the transfer agent to sell such stock.

Stockholders will not be entitled to receive interest for the period of time between the Effective Time and the date payment is made for their fractional share interest. You should also be aware that, under the escheat laws of certain jurisdictions, sums due for fractional interests that are not timely claimed after the funds are made available may be required to be paid to the designated agent for each such jurisdiction. Thereafter, stockholders otherwise entitled to receive such funds may have to obtain the funds directly from the state to which they were paid.

If you believe that you may not hold sufficient shares of our common stock at the Effective Time to receive at least one share in the Reverse Stock Split and you want to continue to hold our common stock after the Reverse Stock Split, you may do so by either:

in each case, so that you hold a number of shares of our common stock in your account prior to the Reverse Stock Split that would entitle you to receive at least one share of common stock in the Reverse Stock Split. Shares of our common stock held in registered form and shares of our common stock held in “street name” (that is, through a broker, bank or other holder of record) for the same stockholder will be considered held in separate accounts and will not be aggregated when effecting the Reverse Stock Split.

After the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split, if implemented by the Board of Directors, each stockholder will own a reduced number of shares of common stock. The principal effect of the Reverse Stock Split will be to proportionately decrease the number of outstanding shares of our common stock based on the reverse stock split ratio selected by our Board of Directors.

Voting rights and other rights of the holders of our common stock will not be affected by the Reverse Stock Split, other than as a result of the treatment of fractional shares as described above. For example, a holder of 2% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of our common stock immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split will generally continue to hold 2% (assuming there is no impact as a result of the payment of cash in lieu of issuing fractional shares) of the voting power of the outstanding shares of our common stock after the Reverse Stock Split. The number of stockholders of record will not be affected by the Reverse Stock Split (except to the extent any are cashed out as a result of holding fractional shares). If approved and implemented, the Reverse Stock Split may result in some stockholders owning “odd lots” of less than 100 shares of our common stock. Odd lot shares may be more difficult to sell, and brokerage commissions and other costs of transactions in odd lots are generally somewhat higher than the costs of transactions in “round lots” of even multiples of 100 shares. Our Board of Directors believes, however, that these potential effects are outweighed by the benefits of the Reverse Stock Split.

The following table contains approximate information, based on share information as of the Record Date, relating to our outstanding common stock based on the proposed reverse stock split ratios and information regarding our authorized shares assuming that the proposal is approved and the Reverse Stock Split are implemented:

After the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split, our common stock would have a new committee on uniform securities identification procedures, or CUSIP number, a number used to identify our common stock.

Our common stock is currently registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act. The Reverse Stock Split will not affect the registration of our common stock under the Exchange Act or the listing of our common stock on Nasdaq. Following the Reverse Stock Split, our common stock will continue to be listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “FAZE,” although it will be considered a new listing with a new CUSIP number.

The proposed amendment to our Charter to effect the Reverse Stock Split would not impact our authorized share capital, which would remain at 501,000,000 shares, consisting of 500,000,000 shares of common stock 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

The proposed amendments to our Charter to effect the Reverse Stock Split will not affect the par value of our common stock, which will remain at $0.0001.

The proposed amendment to our Charter to effect the Reverse Stock Split would not impact the total authorized number of shares of preferred stock or the par value of the preferred stock.

By reducing the number of shares outstanding without reducing the number of shares of available but unissued common stock, the Reverse Stock Split will increase the number of authorized but unissued shares. The Board of Directors believes the increase is appropriate for use to fund the future operations of the Company. Although the Company does not have any pending acquisitions for which shares are expected to be used, the Company may also use authorized shares in connection with the financing of future acquisitions.

Although the Reverse Stock Split would not have any dilutive effect on our stockholders, the Reverse Stock Split without a reduction in the number of shares authorized for issuance would reduce the proportion of shares owned by our stockholders relative to the number of shares authorized for issuance, giving the Board of Directors an effective increase in the authorized shares available for issuance, in its discretion. The Board of Directors from time to time may deem it to be in the best interests of the Company to enter into transactions and other ventures that may include the issuance of shares of our common stock. If the Board of Directors authorizes the issuance of additional shares subsequent to the Reverse Stock Split, the dilution to the ownership interest of our existing stockholders may be greater than would occur had the Reverse Stock Split not been effected.

As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, upon the Effective Time, the stated capital on our balance sheet attributable to our common stock, which consists of the par value per share of our common stock multiplied by the aggregate number of shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, will be reduced in proportion to the size of the Reverse Stock Split, subject to a minor adjustment in respect of the treatment of fractional shares, and the additional paid-in capital account will be credited with the amount by which the stated capital is reduced. Our stockholders’ equity, in the aggregate, will remain unchanged.

As of the Record Date, there were outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 5,923,333 shares of common stock, consisting of (i) 5,750,000 public warrants (the “Public Warrants”) and (ii) 173,333 private placement warrants (together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”) with an exercise price of $11.50 per share.

Pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, dated as of February 18, 2021 (the “Warrant Agreement”), by and between FaZe and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, on the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split, (i) the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of each Warrant shall be decreased in proportion to the decrease in outstanding shares of common stock and (ii) the warrant price shall be proportionally increased. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Warrant Agreement provides that the Company may not issue fractional shares upon the exercise of Warrants, and if the holder of any Warrant would be entitled to receive fractional shares upon the exercise thereof, the Company shall round down the number of shares to be issued upon such exercise to the nearest whole number.

As of the Record Date, we had approximately 18,863,654 shares subject to stock options, 1,592,704 unvested restricted shares and 728,417 unvested restricted stock units outstanding under our Stock Plans. Under our Stock Plans, the Compensation Committee will determine the appropriate adjustment to the awards granted under our Stock Plans in the event of a reverse stock split. Accordingly, if the Reverse Stock Split is effected, the number of shares available for issuance under the 2022 Plan and ESPP, as well as the number of shares subject to any outstanding award under the Stock Plans, and the exercise price, grant price or purchase price relating to any such award under the Stock Plans, are expected to be proportionately adjusted by the Compensation Committee to reflect the Reverse Stock Split. In addition, pursuant to the authority provided under the Stock Plans, the Compensation Committee is expected to authorize the Company to effect any other changes necessary, desirable or appropriate to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split, including any applicable technical, conforming changes to our Stock Plans.

For illustrative purposes only, if a 1-for-20 reverse stock split is effected, the 13,588,848 shares that remain available for issuance under the 2022 Plan and ESPP as of April 18, 2023, are expected to be adjusted to 679,442 shares, subject to increase as and when awards made under the applicable Stock Plan expire or are forfeited and are returned per the terms of the Stock Plan. Further, for illustrative purposes only, if a 1-for-20 reverse stock split is effected, an outstanding stock option for 10,000 shares of common stock, exercisable at $1.00 per share, would be adjusted as a result of a 1-for-20 split ratio into an option exercisable for 500 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $20 per share.

As of the Record Date, there were 5,312,098 earn-out shares and 2,156,250 sponsor earn-out shares outstanding and, in each case, subject to forfeiture if certain volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) per share thresholds for the Company's common stock are not met during the five-year period beginning October 18, 2022. In particular, if (i) the VWAP of the Company's common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 for any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period, one-third of the earn-out shares and sponsor earn-out shares, respectively, will vest, (ii) the VWAP of the Company's common stock equals or exceeds $14.00 for any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period, one-third of the earn-out shares and sponsor earn-out shares, respectively, will vest and (iii) the VWAP of the Company's common stock equals or exceeds $16.00 for any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period, one-third of the earn-out shares and sponsor earn-out shares, respectively, will vest (each a “Trigger Event”). If the Reverse Stock Split is effected, the number of earn-out shares and sponsor earn-out shares will be proportionately decreased based on the reverse stock split ratio selected by our Board of Directors. Correspondingly, the VWAP targets applicable to each Trigger Event will be increased in direct proportion to the Reverse Stock Split ratio in order to maintain the same economic correlation between (x) the $10.00 per share deemed price at which the per share merger consideration was issued in connection with the business combination and (ii) the VWAP target applicable to each Trigger Event.

Notwithstanding the decrease in the number of outstanding shares following the proposed Reverse Stock Split, our Board of Directors does not intend for this transaction to be the first step in a “going private transaction” within the meaning of Rule 13e-3 of the Exchange Act.

We are subject to the periodic reporting and other requirements of the Exchange Act. The Reverse Stock Split will not affect our obligation to publicly file financial and other information with the SEC.

If you hold registered shares of our common stock in a book-entry form, you do not need to take any action to receive your post-Reverse Stock Split shares of our common stock in registered book-entry form or your cash payment in lieu of fractional shares, if applicable. If you are entitled to post-Reverse Stock Split shares of our common stock, a transaction statement will automatically be sent to your address of record as soon as practicable after the Effective Time indicating the number of shares of our common stock you hold. In addition, if you are entitled to a payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares, a check will be mailed to you at your registered address as soon as practicable after the Effective Time. By signing and cashing this check, you will warrant that you owned the shares of our common stock for which you received a cash payment.

At the Effective Time, we intend to treat stockholders holding shares of our common stock in “street name” (that is, through a broker, bank or other holder of record) in the same manner as registered stockholders whose shares of our common stock are registered in their names. Brokers, banks or other holders of record will be instructed to effect the Reverse Stock Split for their beneficial holders holding shares of our common stock in “street name”; however, these brokers, banks or other holders of record may apply their own specific procedures for processing the Reverse Stock Split. If you hold your shares of our common stock with a broker, bank or other holder of record, and you have any questions in this regard, we encourage you to contact your holder of record.

If you hold any of your shares of our common stock in certificated form (the “Old Certificate(s)”), you will receive a transmittal letter from our transfer agent as soon as practicable after the Effective Time. The transmittal letter will be accompanied by instructions specifying how you can deliver your Old Certificate(s) so that you are in a position to freely trade your post-Reverse Stock Split shares of our common stock, which will be in a book-entry form, evidenced by a transaction statement that will be sent to your address of record as soon as practicable after your delivery of a letter of transmittal indicating the number of shares of our common stock you hold, together with any payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares to which you are entitled. Until surrendered as contemplated herein, a stockholder’s Old Certificate(s) shall be deemed at and after the Effective Time to represent the number of full shares of our common stock resulting from the Reverse Stock Split.

YOU SHOULD NOT SEND YOUR OLD CERTIFICATES NOW. YOU SHOULD SEND THEM ONLY AFTER YOU RECEIVE THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL FROM OUR TRANSFER AGENT.

Under Delaware law, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is required to adopt and approve the amendment to our Charter to effect the Reverse Stock Split. Because adoption and approval of the amendment to our Charter to effect the Reverse Stock Split requires a majority of the outstanding shares, an abstention with respect to the reverse stock split proposal will have the same effect as a vote “Against” the proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE PROPOSAL TO AMEND OUR CHARTER TO EFFECT THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT.

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, our stockholders are not entitled to dissenter’s rights or appraisal rights with respect to the reverse stock split described in this proposal and we will not independently provide our stockholders with any such rights.

No officer or director has any substantial interest, direct or indirect, by security holdings or otherwise, in the Reverse Stock Split that is not shared by all of our other stockholders.

The following discussion is a general summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations of the Reverse Stock Split that may be relevant to holders of our common stock that hold such stock as a capital asset for U.S. federal income tax purposes (generally, property held for investment). This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, administrative rulings and judicial decisions as of the date hereof, all of which may change, possibly with retroactive effect, and changes to any of which may result in U.S. federal income tax consequences that differ from those discussed below.

This discussion applies only to holders that are U.S. Holders (as defined herein) and does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to such holders in light of their particular circumstances or to holders that may be subject to special tax rules, including: (i) holders subject to an alternative minimum tax; (ii) banks, insurance companies, or other financial institutions; (iii) tax-exempt organizations; (iv) dealers in securities or commodities; (v) regulated investment companies or real estate investment trusts; (vi) partnerships (or other entities or arrangements treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes) and their partners; (vii) traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting with respect to securities; (viii) persons who actually or constructively own five percent or more of our common stock; (ix) U.S. Holders (as defined below) whose “functional currency” is not the U.S. dollar; (x) persons holding our common stock as part of a hedging transaction, “straddle,” “conversion transaction” or other risk reduction transaction; (xi) persons who acquire shares of our common stock in connection with employment or other performance of services; or (xii) U.S. expatriates or former long-term residents of the United States. If a partnership (including any entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds shares of our common stock, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships that hold our common stock and their partners should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split to them.

We have not sought, and will not seek, an opinion of counsel or a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split. There can be no assurance that the IRS would not assert, or a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of the consequences described below. The following summary does not address any U.S. state or local or foreign tax considerations, any estate or gift tax considerations, or the Medicare tax on net investment income.

EACH HOLDER OF COMMON STOCK SHOULD CONSULT SUCH HOLDER’S TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT TO SUCH HOLDER.

For purposes of the discussion below, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of shares of our common stock that for U.S. federal income tax purposes is: (1) a citizen or individual resident of the United States; (2) a corporation (including any entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof; (3) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or (4) a trust, if (i) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (ii) the trust has a valid election in effect to be treated as a U.S. person.

The Reverse Stock Split is intended to be treated as a “recapitalization,” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Code, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Assuming the Reverse Stock Split so qualifies, a U.S. Holder should generally not recognize gain or loss upon the Reverse Stock Split, except with respect to cash received in lieu of a fractional share of our common stock, as discussed below. A U.S. Holder’s aggregate tax basis in the shares of our common stock received pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split should equal the aggregate tax basis of the shares of our common stock surrendered (excluding any portion of such basis that is allocated to any fractional share of our common stock), and such U.S. Holder’s holding period in the shares of our common stock received should include the holding period in the shares of our common stock surrendered. Treasury regulations promulgated under the Code provide detailed rules for allocating the tax basis and holding period of the shares of our common stock surrendered to the shares of our common stock received pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split. Holders of shares of our common stock acquired on different dates and at different prices should consult their tax advisors regarding the allocation of the tax basis and holding period of such shares.

A U.S. Holder that receives cash in lieu of a fractional share of our common stock pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split should generally recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash received and the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the shares of our common stock surrendered that is allocated to such fractional share. Such capital gain or loss should be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for our common stock surrendered exceeds one year at the Effective Time.

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE PROPOSAL TO AMEND OUR CHARTER TO EFFECT THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT.

The Audit Committee has selected Marcum LLP to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. Marcum LLP has served as our independent auditor since 2021. A representative of Marcum LLP is expected to attend the Annual Meeting, and the representative will have an opportunity to make a statement if he or she so desires. The representative will also be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.

Selection of our independent registered public accounting firm is not required to be submitted for stockholder approval. Nonetheless, the Board of Directors is seeking ratification of the selection of Marcum LLP as a matter of further involving our stockholders in its corporate affairs. If the stockholders do not ratify this selection, the Audit Committee will reconsider its selection of Marcum LLP and will either continue to retain this firm or appoint new independent registered public accounting firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that this change would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the common stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, at which a quorum representing a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares of common stock is present and entitled to vote, is required to approve the proposal to ratify the appointment of Marcum LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR THIS APPOINTMENT.

SEC rules permit stockholders to submit proposals for inclusion in our proxy statement by satisfying the requirements specified in SEC Rule 14a-8. For our 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, to be eligible for inclusion in our 2024 proxy statement under the SEC’s Rule 14a-8 requirements, stockholder proposals must be received by our Secretary at our principal executive offices no later than January 2, 2024. Stockholder proposals submitted for consideration at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders outside of SEC Rule 14a-8 must be received by our Secretary in writing at our principal executive offices no earlier than February 14, 2024, and no later than March 15, 2024, and satisfy the other requirements in our Bylaws.

In addition to satisfying the foregoing requirements, any stockholder who intends to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than our own must comply with the additional requirements of SEC Rule 14a-19(b). To the extent any information required by SEC Rule 14a-19(b) is not required under our Bylaws, such information must be received by our Secretary at our principal executive office no later than April 14, 2024.

At the time of preparation of this Proxy Statement, the Board of Directors of the Company was not aware of any other matters to be brought before the Annual Meeting. No eligible stockholder had submitted notice of any proposal ninety (90) days before the date of the anniversary of last year’s annual meeting. However, if any other matters are properly presented for action, in the absence of instructions to the contrary, it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy to vote, or refrain from voting, in accordance with their respective best judgment on such matters.

If a stockholder desires to have a proposal presented at our annual meeting of stockholders in 2024 and the proposal is not intended to be included in our related 2024 proxy solicitation materials, the stockholder must give us advance in accordance with our Bylaws. Pursuant to our Bylaws, only such business shall be conducted, and only such proposals shall be acted upon at an annual meeting of stockholders as are properly brought before the annual meeting. For business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, in addition to any other applicable requirements, timely notice of the matter must first be given to the Secretary. To be timely, a stockholder’s written notice must be delivered to the Secretary at our principal executive offices not later than the 90th day nor earlier than the 120th day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding annual meeting; provided, however, that if the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, then notice of the stockholder proposal must be delivered to the Secretary not earlier than the 120th day nor later than the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is first made. If the proposal is for a nominee for director, the stockholder’s notice must set forth with respect to such director nominee all of the information relating to that person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations for elections of directors under the rules of the SEC; for any stockholder proposal, the notice must comply with our Bylaws (a copy of which is available upon request to the Secretary), which section requires that the notice contain a brief description of the proposal and the reasons for conducting the business at the annual meeting, the name and address, as they appear on our books, of the stockholder making the proposal, the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the stockholder and any material interest of the stockholder in such proposal.

Stockholders and interested parties interested in communicating with our Board, any Board committee, any individual director, or any group of directors (such as our independent directors) should send written correspondence to Board of Directors c/o Corporate Secretary, FaZe Holdings Inc., 720 N. Cahuenga Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90038. Additional information is available on our corporate website at https://investor.fazeclan.com.

FAZE HOLDINGS INC., a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “Corporation”), does hereby certify as follows:

FIRST: Upon the filing and effectiveness (the “Effective Time”) pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) of this Certificate of Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, each twenty (20) or thirty (30) shares of the Corporation’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be combined into one (1) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock without any further action by the Corporation or the holder thereof, subject to the treatment of fractional share interests as described below (the “Reverse Stock Split”). No fractional shares shall be issued at the Effective Time and, in lieu thereof, the Corporation’s transfer agent shall aggregate all fractional shares and sell them as soon as practicable after the Effective Time at the then-prevailing prices on the open market, on behalf of those stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share, and after the transfer agent’s completion of such sale, stockholders shall receive a cash payment (without interest or deduction) from the transfer agent in an amount equal to their respective pro rata shares of the total net proceeds of that sale and, where shares are held in certificated form, upon the surrender of the stockholder’s Old Certificates (as defined below). Each certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Common Stock (“Old Certificates”), shall thereafter represent that number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Common Stock represented by the Old Certificate shall have been combined, subject to the elimination of fractional share interests as described above.

SECOND: This Certificate of Amendment shall become effective as of [•], 2023, at [•] [a.m./p.m.].

THIRD: This Certificate of Amendment was duly adopted in accordance with Section 242 of the DGCL. The Board of Directors duly adopted resolutions setting forth and declaring advisable this Certificate of Amendment and directed that the proposed amendments be considered by the stockholders of the Corporation. The Corporation’s annual meeting of stockholders was duly called upon notice in accordance with Section 222 of the DGCL and held on June 13, 2023, at which meeting the necessary number of shares were voted in favor of the proposed amendments. The stockholders of the Corporation duly adopted this Certificate of Amendment.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Faze Holdings Inc. has caused this Certificate of Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to be duly executed and acknowledged in its name and on its behalf by an authorized officer as of the date first set forth above.
