Good Times Restaurants Inc. Announces Conversion of Series C Preferred Stock to Common Stock

GTIM

Good Times Restaurants Inc. (NASDAQ: GTIM) today announced that in accordance with the Certificate of Designations, Preferences, and Rights of its Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, on March 28, 2014, Small Island Investments Limited converted all 355,451 shares of the Company’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, into 710,902 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The effects of the conversion are to eliminate the Company’s payment of dividends on the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and to eliminate the possible need for the Company to redeem the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock for a cash payment.

The Company also said that together with the exercise of approximately 823,000 of its outstanding B warrants for the purchase of 411,500 common shares to date, it has received approximately $1,000,000 of proceeds and had a total cash balance of approximately $5,700,000 on its balance sheet as of March 31, 2014. There is approximately an additional $2,100,000 of B Warrant proceeds available if fully exercised prior to their expiration in May, 2014. Boyd Hoback, President and CEO, said, “We currently have no long-term debt and without the need to redeem the Convertible Preferred Stock, we have more capital with which to build new restaurants. Combined with our increasing cash flow from operations, we anticipate using our capital for continued remodeling of existing Good Times restaurants, development of new Good Times restaurants, a new point-of-sale system and additional Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar restaurants in fiscal 2014 and 2015.”
