(GTIM) (the “Company”), operator of Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar and Good Times Burgers & Frozen Custard, today announced the preliminary results of its cash tender offer to purchase up to 1,413,000 shares of its common stock at a price per share of $4.60. The tender offer expired at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on September 10, 2021.

 

In accordance with the terms and conditions of the tender offer and based on the preliminary count by Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc., the depositary for the tender offer, the Company expects to accept for payment, at a purchase price of $4.60 per share, a total of 333,241 shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn before the expiration date, at an aggregate cost of approximately $1,532,908, excluding fees and expenses relating to the tender offer. The shares expected to be purchased represent approximately 2.6% of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding as of September 13, 2021.
