Good Times Restaurants Announces Tender Offer

(Golden, CO) August 10, 2021 – Good Times Restaurants Inc. (GTIM) (the “Company”), operator of Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar and Good Times Burgers & Frozen Custard, today announced that it expects to commence a tender offer to purchase up to 1,413,000 shares of its common stock, at a cash price of $4.60 per share of common stock, for an approximate total amount of $6.5 million. Our Board of Directors believes that the tender offer is an appropriate mechanism to return capital to our shareholders while also allowing those shareholders who do not participate in the tender offer to share in a higher portion of our future potential.

The tender offer is expected to commence on August 13, 2021 or soon thereafter and to remain open for twenty business days. Tenders of shares must be made on or prior to the expiration of the tender offer and may be withdrawn at any time prior to the expiration of the tender offer, in each case, in accordance with the procedures described in the tender offer materials to be distributed to shareholders. The tender offer will not be subject to a financing condition. The Company expects to fund the share purchases in the offer from its existing cash and cash equivalents.

Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc. will serve as the depositary for the tender offer.

Neither the Company, its directors or officers, nor the depositary make any recommendation as to whether to tender shares.
