EXPLANATORY NOTE

Effective August 25, 2017, as discussed below, effective August 25, 2017, the issuer re-domiciled from Nevada to Delaware and engaged in a Holding Company Reorganization. See Exhibit 3.1.

ITEM 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

Holding Company Reorganization

On August 25, 2017, the issuer completed a corporate reorganization (the “Holding Company Reorganization”) pursuant to which Franchise Holdings International, Inc., as previously constituted (the “Predecessor”) became a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of a newly formed Delaware corporation, Franchise Transition, Inc. (the “Holding Company”), which became the successor issuer. In other words, the Holding Company is now the public entity. First, the Predecessor changed its name to Franchise Transition, Inc. from Franchise Holdings International, Inc. Then, after forming two new Delaware corporations (Franchise Holdings International, Inc. and FNHI Services, Inc.) the Holding Company Reorganization was effected by a merger conducted pursuant to Section 251(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), which provides for the formation of a holding company without a vote of the stockholders of the constituent corporations.

In accordance with Section 251(g) of the DGCL, FNHI Services, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), one of the newly formed Delaware corporations and, prior to the Holding Company Reorganization, was an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of the Predecessor, merged with and into the Predecessor, with the Predecessor surviving the merger as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Holding Company (the “Merger”). The Merger was completed pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger among the Predecessor, the Holding Company and Merger Sub, dated August 25, 2017 (the “Merger Agreement”).

As of the effective time of the Merger and in connection with the Holding Company Reorganization, all outstanding shares of common stock and preferred stock of the Predecessor were automatically converted into identical shares of common stock or preferred stock, as applicable, of the Holding Company on a one-for-one basis, and the Predecessor’s existing stockholders and other equity holders became stockholders and equity holders, as applicable, of the Holding Company in the same amounts and percentages as they were in the Predecessor prior to the Holding Company Reorganization.

The executive officers and board of directors of the Holding Company are the same as those of the Predecessor in effect immediately prior to the Holding Company Reorganization.

For purposes of Rule 12g-3(a), the Holding Company is the successor issuer to the Predecessor, now as the sole shareholder of the Predecessor. Accordingly, upon consummation of the Merger, the Holding Company’s common stock was deemed to be registered under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, pursuant to Rule 12g-3(a) promulgated thereunder.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement set forth in this Item 1.01 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

ITEM 5.03. AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OR BYLAWS

On August 25, 2017, the Predecessor re-domiciled from Nevada to Delaware. Immediately following such re-domiciliation, the Holding Company adopted a certificate of incorporation (the “Certificate”) and bylaws (the “Bylaws”) that are, in all material respects, identical to the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Predecessor immediately prior to the Holding Company Reorganization, with the possible exception of certain amendments that are permissible under Section 251(g)(4) of the DGCL.

The Holding Company has the same authorized capital stock and the designations, rights, powers and preferences of such capital stock, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof are the same as that of the Predecessor’s capital stock immediately prior to the Holding Company Reorganization.

The Certificate of the Holding Company is attached hereto as Exhibits 3.1 and incorporated by reference into this Item 5.03.

ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS

The common stock of the Holding Company trades on OTCMarkets under the symbol “FNHI” under which the common stock of the Predecessor was previously listed and traded. As a result of the Holding Company Reorganization, the common stock of the Predecessor will no longer be publicly traded.
