In order to provide Chanticleer’s investors with an understanding of its current intentions and future prospects, this Current Report of Form 8K may contain statements that are forward-looking statements regarding the proposed rights offering of its common stock, the intended use of proceeds of the rights offering, Chanticleer’s proposed acquisitions, the expected timing of the acquisitions, the prospects for Chanticleer and its subsidiaries, Chanticleer’s market opportunity, Chanticleer’s expectations for the development of its restaurant properties and future growth and projected earnings of Chanticleer’s business. Any statements that are not historical facts contained in this call are “forward-looking statements” as that term is defined under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (PSLRA), which statements may be identified by words such as “expects,” “plans,” “projects,” “could,” “may,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “should,” “intends,” “estimates,” and other words of similar meaning. Such forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, involve known and unknown risks, a reliance on third parties for information, transactions or orders that may be cancelled, and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or developments in our industry, to differ materially from the anticipated results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from anticipated results include risks and uncertainties related to the fluctuation of global economic conditions, the performance of management and our employees, our ability to obtain adequate financing or required licenses, competition, general economic conditions and other factors that are detailed in our periodic reports and on documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release speak only as of the date the statements were made, and Chanticleer does not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements. We intend that all forward-looking statements be subject to the safe-harbor provisions of the PSLRA.
