Explanation of Responses: |
1. On September 14, 2023, Cambridge Franchise Holdings, LLC ("CFH") entered into a master forward confirmation with an unaffiliated third party broker-dealer (in its capacity as buyer for the forward sale transactions, the "Forward Purchaser," and each such forward sale transaction, a "Forward" and collectively, the "Forwards"), with respect to Forwards (A) intended to comply with Rule 10b5-1(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and (B) covering up to the lesser of (i) 3,285,622 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, (the "Forward Shares") of Carrols Restaurant Group, Inc. (the "Issuer"), and (ii) the maximum number of Forward Shares permitted to be sold under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. |
2. (continued from Footnote 1) January 12, 2024, was the final day of the execution period with respect to the Forwards, and, on the settlement date, CFH will deliver to the Forward Purchaser 2,005,309 Forward Shares and receive from the Forward Purchaser a cash payment of $15,037,611.66, or approximately $7.4989 per Forward Share. Of the 3,285,622 maximum number of Forward Shares which could have been sold under these Forwards, 2,005,309 were sold and 1,280,313 remain unsold as of January 12, 2024. Such cash payment was based on a price per Forward Share equal to the product of (i) 100% minus the commission paid to the Forward Purchaser and (ii) a price per Forward Share equal to a weighted-average of the daily volume-weighted average prices during the term of the Forward, such weighting with respect to each trading day during the term of the Forward based on the number of Forward Shares for such trading day. |
