Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

On September 30, 2015 (the “Closing Date”), Chanticleer Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), through LBB Acquisition, LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of North Carolina (“Acquisition Sub”) and wholly owned by American Roadside Burger, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, consummated and closed a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with various entities operating a total of eight Little Big Burger restaurants in the State of Oregon (the “Little Big Burger Entities”). Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Acquisition Sub acquired all of the membership interests of the Little Big Burger Entities operating restaurants engaged in the fast casual hamburger restaurant business under the name “Little Big Burger.”

 

In consideration of the purchased membership interests of the Little Big Burger Entities, the Company paid a purchase price consisting of three million six hundred thousand dollars ($3,600,000) in cash (the “Cash Consideration”) and issued one million eight hundred seventy four thousand sixty three (1,874,063) shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Stock Consideration”). The Stock Consideration is subject to a Leak Out Agreement, which provides that the holders of the Stock Consideration agree that they shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, offer for sale, sell, assign, pledge, issue, distribute, grant any option or enter into any contract for sale of or otherwise dispose of any shares of the Stock Consideration in violation of the following schedule: (i) one third of the Stock Consideration shall be immediately available for transfer upon the Closing Date; (ii) one third of the Stock Consideration shall be available for transfer beginning on the ninetieth (90th) day following the Closing Date; and (iii) one third of the Stock Consideration shall be available for Transfer beginning on the one hundred eightieth (180th) day following the Closing Date. Additionally, the Company agreed to file a registration statement registering the Stock Consideration within twenty (20) days of the Closing Date.

 

In addition, the holders of a majority of the membership interests in the Little Big Burger Entities agreed to enter into a Securities Account Control Agreement and Stock Pledge and Security Agreement whereby an aggregate of two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) of the Cash Consideration and one million six hundred nineteen thousand six hundred forty six (1,619,646) shares of the Stock Consideration shall be subject to various restrictions as set forth in those agreements.
