The Offering closed on April 30, 2014. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to accelerate the remodeling of the Company's restaurants to Burger King Corporation's 20/20 restaurant image, to acquire additional franchised Burger King restaurants, and, to a lesser extent, develop new restaurants and for other general corporate purposes.
The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Underwriters, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Underwriting Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.
The Offering is being made pursuant to the Company's effective Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-194377) previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which included a prospectus, and a preliminary prospectus supplement and a prospectus supplement, which were also filed with the SEC.
