Section 8 - Other Events
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On March 11, 2013, we gave notice to the proposed seller of the withdrawal of all offers related to our proposed purchase of nine Kentucky Fried Chicken* franchise stores, including associated real estate, located in Florida and Georgia. We announced the possibility of these purchases under Section 5, Item 5.06 in an amended Report on Form 8-K under event date of November 15, 2012, based on a non-binding letter of intent dated November 20, 2012. After the expenditure of large amounts of time and effort, we received a written commitment for a conventional real estate mortgage on terms acceptable to us to purchase the real estate and commitments for private equity funding to purchase the seven of the franchise stores in Florida. In furtherance of the planned acquisition, we submitted a revised offer, to which the seller made a counter offer and to which we, in turn, made a counter offer, ending with a purchase of the Florida real estate, an all cash offer to purchase the franchise stores in Florida and a right-of-first refusal to purchase the Georgia real estate and franchise stores. We did not receive a response to our counter offer from the seller for a period of nine days, prompting our notice a withdrawal. Further, we have no response to our notice of withdrawal.
We are actively engaged in seeking other profitable restaurants in the State of Florida that meet or exceed our acquisition criteria.
*Kentucky Fried Chicken is a trademark of KFC Corporation.
