Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On July 1, 2014, in connection with the acquisition described below in Item 2.01, Chanticleer Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Agreement, an Assumption Agreement, and a Security Agreement (collectively, the “Debt Assumption Agreements”), whereby the Company agreed to assume a five million dollar ($5,000,000) debt owed to Florida Mezzanine Fund, LLLP (“FL Mezz”) by TMIX Darling Harbour Pty Ltd (“TMIX”) (the “Debt Assumption”). In connection with the Debt Assumption, on July 1, 2014, the Company granted to FL Mezz and a group of nine other investors a total of two hundred fifty thousand (250,000) warrants, with each warrant entitling its holder to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) exercisable within five years at an exercise price to be determined by a Black-Scholes valuation at the next public offering of the Common Stock or at the end of twelve calendar months. The issuance of the warrants was a private placement to “accredited investors” (as the term is defined under Rule 501 of Regulation D) and exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D, as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering.

The foregoing description of the Debt Assumption Agreements and the Gaming Assignment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Debt Assumption Agreements and the Gaming Assignment, which are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

The ownership interest in the Australian Entities was purchased from the respective entities in exchange for the Debt Assumption described above under Item 1.01, whereby the Company agreed to assume a five million dollar ($5,000,000) debt and issued two hundred fifty thousand (250,000) warrants to purchase shares of the Common Stock . The disclosures of the material terms and conditions of the Debt Assumption contained in Item 1.01, above, are hereby incorporated into this Item 2.01 by reference.

(i) All books, data and records pertaining to any Collateral, whether in the form of a writing, photograph, microfilm or electronic media, including but not limited to any computer-readable memory and any computer hardware or software necessary to process such memory (" Books and Records ").

(d) Require the Company to direct all account debtors to forward all payments and proceeds of the Collateral to a post office box under the Lender's exclusive control.

 

(e) Require the Company to assemble the Collateral, including the Books and Records, and make them available to the Lender at a place designated by the Lender.

Chanticleer Holdings Acquires 60% Ownership of Hooters ® Franchisee,

 

TMIX Management Australia Pty, Ltd.

 

CHARLOTTE, NC – July 1, 2014 — Chanticleer Holdings, Inc.  (NASDAQ: HOTR) (Chanticleer Holdings, or the "Company"), owner and operater of multiple restaurant brand internationally and domestically, announced today that the Company has acquired 60% ownership of TMIX Management Australia Pty, Ltd., Hooters franchisee in Australia, and its Hooters restaurants in Parramatta and Penrith, both suburbs of Sydney.

 

The Company also recently announced it increased its ownership stake in Hooters restaurant in Campbelltown, Australia from 49% to 60% and agreed to increase its ownership stake to 60% in the two new stores under construction in Townsville and Surfers Paradise.

 

The terms of the agreement called for Chanticleer to assume the debt owed to Florida Mezzinine Fund, LLLP by TMIX Darling Harbour Pty, Ltd, parent company of TMIX Management, in the amount of $5 million (the “Debt”). The transaction increases Chanticleers equity in the Hooters franchise in Australia and management believes the Hooters brand will continue to grow in this market.

 

In addition, Chanticleer acquired 100% of the gaming revenue from gaming licenses currently located in the Darling Harbour, Sydney, area until full repayment of the Debt, and 60% of the revenue for the lifetime of the gaming operations. Obtaining gaming license is difficult and requires adherence to strict guidelines. The Company has 25 gaming licenses, of which 15 machines are currently in operation and generating positive cash flow.

 

Mike Pruitt, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “The Hooters brand continues to gain popularity in Australia and we believe this was the opportune time for us to increase our ownership in the Hooters franchise in Australia and to continue building on our long-term relationship with Morney Schlebusch and his team. The positive cash flow from gaming, which we have also experienced with our gaming machines in Oregon, and acquired restaurants will allow us to support the debt and to make significant strides towards profitability.”

 

About Chanticleer Holdings, Inc

Headquartered in Charlotte, NC, Chanticleer Holdings (HOTR), together with its subsidiaries, owns and operates restaurant brands in the United States and internationally. The Company is a franchisee owner of Hooters® restaurants in international markets including England, South Africa, Hungary, and Brazil, has joint ventured with the current Hooters franchisee in Australia, and recently acquired two Hooters restaurants in the United States.
