FORM OF LETTER
CHANTICLEER HOLDINGS, INC.
Subscription Rights to Purchase Units
Offered Pursuant to Subscription Rights Distributed to Stockholders of
Chanticleer Holdings, Inc.
[●], 2016
To Our Clients:
Enclosed for your consideration are a prospectus, dated [●], 2016 ( and the “Instructions as to Use of Chanticleer Holdings, Inc. Subscription Rights Certificates” relating to the rights offering by Chanticleer Holdings, Inc. (“Chanticleer”) of non-transferable subscription rights distributed to all holders of record of shares of Chanticleer’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share and public warrants, at 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on [●], 2016 (the “record date”). The rights and units are described in the prospectus.
In the rights offering, Chanticleer is offering an aggregate of up to 1,000,000 units, each unit consisting of one share of our 9% Redeemable Series 1 Preferred Stock (“Series 1 Preferred”) and one Series 1 Warrant, both as described in the prospectus.
The subscription rights will expire, if not exercised prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on [●], 2016, unless extended (the “Expiration Time”).
The basic subscription privilege gives our rights holders the opportunity to purchase one unit, consisting of one share of our Series 1 Preferred and one Series 1 Warrant to purchase 10 shares of our common stock from the date of issuance through its expiration seven years from the date of issuance, at a subscription price of $13.50 per unit, subject to proration. We have granted to each rights holder of the record date one subscription right for each share of our common stock and public warrant owned by such rights holder at that time. For example, if you owned 1,000 shares of our common stock and 50 public warrants as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on the record date, you would receive 1,050 subscription rights and would have the right to purchase 1,050 units, for $13.50 per unit, with your basic subscription privilege plus an unlimited over-subscription privilege, in each case subject to proration as described herein. You may exercise the basic subscription privilege of any number of your subscription rights, or you may choose not to exercise any subscription rights. If you do not exercise your basic subscription privilege in full, you will not be entitled to purchase any units under your over-subscription privilege.
The over-subscription privilege provides each rights holder that fully exercises all of such holder’s basic subscription privilege the opportunity to purchase the units that are not purchased by other rights holders. If you fully exercise your basic subscription privilege, the over-subscription privilege entitles you to subscribe for additional units unclaimed by other holders of subscription rights in the rights offering at the same subscription price per unit. If an insufficient number of units is available to fully satisfy all over-subscription privilege requests, we will allocate the available units, pro-rata among those rights holders exercising their over-subscription privilege in proportion to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number so that the subscription price multiplied by the aggregate number of units does not exceed the aggregate offering amount) obtained by multiplying the number of units such rights holder subscribed for pursuant to the over-subscription privilege by a fraction (A) the numerator of which is the number of unsubscribed units and (B) the denominator of which is the total number of units sought to be subscribed for pursuant to the over-subscription privilege by all holders participating in such over-subscription. The subscription agent will notify subscription rights holders of the number of units, if any, allocated to each holder exercising the over-subscription privilege as promptly as may be practicable after the allocations are completed.
To properly exercise your over-subscription privilege, you must deliver the subscription payment related to your over-subscription privilege prior to the expiration of the subscription period. Because we will not know the total number of unsubscribed units prior to the expiration of the rights offering, if you wish to maximize the number of units you purchase pursuant to your over-subscription privilege, you will need to deliver payment in an amount equal to the aggregate subscription price for the maximum number of units available to you, assuming that no rights holder other than you has purchased any units pursuant to its basic subscription privilege and over-subscription privilege.
There may not be sufficient units available to purchase the number of units issuable upon the exercise of your basic subscription privilege or your over-subscription privilege. Chanticleer only honor over-subscription privileges to the extent sufficient unsubscribed units are available following the exercise of subscription rights under the basic subscription privilege. Chanticleer will not issue more than 1,000,000 units, consisting in the aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of Series 1 Preferred and Series 1 Warrants to purchase up to 10,000,000 shares of common stock.
To the extent the aggregate subscription available to you pursuant to the subscription privileges is less than the amount you actually paid in connection with the exercise of the subscription privileges, you will be allocated only the number of unsubscribed units available to you promptly after the expiration of the rights offering.
To the extent the amount you actually paid in connection with the exercise of the subscription privileges is less than the aggregate subscription price of the maximum number of units available to you, you will be allocated the number of units for which you actually paid in connection with the privilege.
The number of units subscribed is further subject to reduction as a result of tax attribute considerations as described in the prospectus.
Each rights holder will be required to submit payment in full for all the units it wishes to buy. Any excess subscription payments received by the subscription agent will be returned, without interest, as soon as practicable.
Chanticleer will not be required to issue units to you if the subscription agent does not receive your payment prior to the Expiration Time, regardless of when you send the subscription payment and related documents, unless you send the documents in compliance with the guaranteed delivery procedures described below. Chanticleer may extend the rights offering by giving oral or written notice to the subscription Agent on or before the expiration date. If Chanticleer elects to extend the rights offering, it will issue a press release announcing such extension no later than 9:00 a.m., Eastern time, on the next business day after the most recently announced Expiration Time.
The rights will be evidenced by non-transferable rights certificates, which will cease to have value at the expiration time.
