GOLDEN, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Good Times Restaurants Inc. GTIM today announced that it had received total gross proceeds of $3,091,000 related to the exercise of the Company's B Warrants and total gross proceeds of $1,146,000 related to the exercise of the Company's A Warrants and it had incurred $80,000 of expenses to-date related to the exercise of all Warrants. In August 2013, the Company issued 2,530,000 A Warrants and 2,530,000 B Warrants, including the underwriter's exercise of their overallotment option for Warrants. The B Warrants are for the purchase of 1,265,000 shares of the Company's common stock on or before May 16, 2014, with every two B Warrants exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $2.50. The A Warrants are for the purchase of 2,530,000 shares of the Company's common stock on or before August 16, 2018 at an exercise price of $2.75.

Boyd Hoback, President and CEO said “With the approximate 40% appreciation in the price of our stock over the last nine months, we were able to have approximately 97% of all B Warrants exercised. We hope to continue to deliver continued growth and improvement in our sales and profitability throughout this year and be able to continue to see exercise of the remaining A Warrants, which if fully exercised would provide an additional $5,795,000 of gross proceeds for our growth and development. We estimate we will have approximately $8,300,000 in cash on our balance sheet at the end of May, not including the previously announced $2.1 million term debt facility for use in our wholly owned subsidiary Good Times Drive Thru Inc., so we have a good base of capital which we anticipate using to accelerate our development of Good Times and Bad Daddy's Burger Bar restaurants.”
