ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

On October 24, 2016, Chanticleer Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Chanticleer”) and Florida Mezzanine Fund LLLP (“Florida Mezz”) entered into the Second Amendment to Assumption and Assignment Agreement. This amendment extends the planned maturity of certain existing debt, provides for a mechanism of allocating proceeds from future debt offerings to the Florida Mezz obligation, and provides a waiver of certain covenants.

Pursuant to this amendment, Chanticleer agreed to allocate 90%, up to an amount not to exceed $8,000,000, of the proceeds of its next debt or other financing pro-rata to payment of certain existing debt. Of the allocated financing proceeds, 62.5% will be paid to Florida Mezz, to be applied toward the Company’s obligation in the principal amount of $5,000,000. If payment is remitted on or prior to December 31, 2016, Florida Mezz will extend the maturity date of the note to July 31, 2018.

Only in the event the Florida Mezz obligation is not repaid in full by December 31, 2016, Chanticleer will pay a modification fee equal to five percent (5%) of the outstanding principal balance of the balance of the obligation after the application of the financing proceeds. Also only in the event that the Florida Mezz obligation is not repaid in full, Chanticleer also agreed to allocate 62.5% of the proceeds from the sale of any asset prior to July 31, 2018 to Florida Mezz.

Provided that Chanticleer continues to make timely interest only payments to Florida Mezz, a subsequent payment default does not occur, and Chanticleer continues to comply with the terms of the amendment, any existing event of default was waived together with waiver of the financial covenants until July 31, 2018.
