CHARLOTTE, NC --(Marketwired - April 27, 2015) - Chanticleer Holdings, Inc. (
The shelf registration statement, once declared effective by the SEC, will provided Chanticleer Holdings with the flexibility to access the public capital markets in order to respond to strategic business opportunities. The registration statement will provide the opportunity for the Company to offer and sell, from time to time, up to $15,000,000 million of securities in the form of common stock, warrants, units or rights during the three-year period following its effective date. The terms of any offering by Chanticleer under the shelf registration statement will be established at the time of such offering and will be described in a prospectus supplement filed with the SEC prior to completion of the offering.
In addition, because Chanticleer is required to register 900,000 shares of its common stock underlying certain securities owned by certain investors under the terms of a registration rights agreement previously entered into by the parties, the registration statement includes such shares and permits those investors to sell their shares should they wish to do so in the future. With the exception of the shares registered for these investors, this registration statement only permits sales of securities by Chanticleer for its own account.
The registration statement relating to these securities has been filed with the SEC but has not yet become effective. These securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. Any offering of the securities covered under the shelf registration statement will be made solely by means of a prospectus and, as required, an accompanying prospectus supplement relating to that offer. The registration statement is available without charge on the website of the Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov and may also be obtained from http://ir.stockpr.com/chanticleerholdings/all-sec-filings . When available, copies of any prospectus related to an offering under the registration statement may be obtained from Chanticleer Holdings, Inc., Attn: Eric Lederer, 7621 Little Ave - Suite 414, Charlotte, NC 28226, 704-366-5122.
Additionally, Chanticleer Holdings announced that it has entered a LOI for the acquisition of an eight store, award-winning "better burger" concept in the Pacific Northwest. This acquisition would considerably expand Chanticleer's presence in the Pacific Northwest region and further expand the company's presence in the better burger sector.
"As a fast growing company with a clear acquisition strategy to augment organic growth, having a shelf in place provides additional financial flexibility to access growth capital. The recently signed LOI is further evidence of this strategy, adding to the three acquisitions we have made in the better burger space. We are excited about the success of our restaurant portfolio to date and look forward to continuing to scale the business and drive enhanced profitability for shareholders."
