Under this shelf registration process, we may from time to time offer and/or sell common stock, preferred stock, warrants and rights to purchase common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, guarantees of debt securities and other securities that may be offered under this prospectus, and units of any of the foregoing, separately or together, and such indeterminable number of shares of common stock, shares of preferred stock, warrants, rights, debt securities or guarantees of debt securities as may be issued upon conversion of, exchange for, exercise of, or pursuant to the provisions (including anti-dilution provisions) of any such securities, in one or more offerings, up to a total dollar amount of $100,000,000.  Each time we sell securities with this prospectus, we will provide you with a prospectus supplement that will contain specific information about the terms of that offering including, among other things, the number of securities to be sold and the price.  The prospectus supplement may also add to, update or change information in this prospectus.  You should read carefully this prospectus, any prospectus supplement, and the additional information described below before making an investment in our shares.

 

This prospectus does not contain all the information provided in the registration statement we filed with the SEC. For further information about us or the securities offered by this prospectus, you should refer to that registration statement, including the exhibits filed with the registration statement and the information incorporated by reference into the registration statement, which you can obtain from the SEC as described below under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information.”

 

You should rely only on the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement.  We and the selling stockholder have not authorized anyone to provide you with any different information.  This prospectus may only be used where it is legal to sell these securities.  You should not assume that the information in this prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement or any document incorporated by reference, is accurate as of any date other than the date of such document or earlier dates as specified therein, regardless of the time of delivery of this prospectus or any prospectus supplement or any sale of a security.

WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION

 

We are subject to the information requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and in accordance therewith, we file annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC. You may read and copy any of these documents at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. Requests for copies should be directed to the SEC’s Public Reference Section, Judiciary Plaza, 100 F Street N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. Please call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 for further information on the operation of the Public Reference Room. Our SEC filings are also available to the public at the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

  

The SEC allows us to “incorporate by reference” certain information we have filed with them, which means we can disclose important information to you by referring you to those documents. The following documents, which were previously filed with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act, are hereby incorporated by reference in this prospectus, excluding any disclosures therein that are furnished and not filed:

 

our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017;

our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended April 1, 2018;

our Current Reports on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on: February 26, 2018, March 6, 2018, March 9, 2018, May 8, 2018, and May 29, 2018;

our Proxy Statement filed with the SEC on April 13, 2018, to the extent the information therein is filed and not furnished; and

all other reports filed by the Company pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act since the end of the fiscal year covered by the annual report referred to in the first bullet point above.

  

In addition, all reports and other documents filed by us pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the date of the initial filing of the registration statement on Form S-3 of which this prospectus is a part and prior to the termination of the offering of the securities described in this prospectus shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this prospectus and shall be a part hereof from the respective dates of filing such reports and documents (other than any portions of any such documents that are deemed furnished under applicable SEC rules rather than filed and exhibits furnished in connection with such items).

 

Statements contained in documents that we subsequently file with the SEC and that are incorporated by reference in this prospectus will automatically update and supersede information contained in this prospectus (including information in previously filed documents that were incorporated by reference into this prospectus) to the extent the new information differs from or is inconsistent with the old information.  Any statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this prospectus. In other words, in the case of a conflict or inconsistency between information set forth in this prospectus and information incorporated by reference into this prospectus, you should rely on the document that was filed later.

 

Statements contained in this prospectus as to the contents of any contract or other document are not necessarily complete, and in each instance we refer you to the copy of the contract or document filed as an exhibit to the registration statement or the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus, each such statement being qualified in all respects by such reference.

OUR COMPANY

 

DRH is a restaurant company operating a single concept, Buffalo Wild Wings® Grill & Bar (“BWW”). As the largest franchisee of BWW, we provide a unique guest experience in a casual and inviting environment. We were incorporated in 2006 and are headquartered in the Detroit metropolitan area. As of December 31, 2017, we had 65 restaurants in Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Missouri.

 

In 2008, DRH became publicly-owned by completing a self-underwritten initial public offering for $735,000 and 140,000 shares. We subsequently completed an underwritten, follow-on offering on April 23, 2013 of 6.9 million shares with net proceeds of $31.9 million.

 

DRH and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), AMC Group, Inc. (“AMC”), AMC Wings, Inc. ("WINGS”), and AMC Real Estate, Inc. (“REAL ESTATE”) own and operate BWW restaurants. Our BWW restaurants are located in Michigan, Florida, Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana and include the nation’s largest BWW, based on square footage, in downtown Detroit, Michigan.

 

DRH is continually recognized as a leading franchisee in the BWW system. In 2014 our Chief Operating Officer received the Founders' Award, and in both 2014 and 2015 we were recognized as Franchisee of the Year. In 2015, three of our restaurants were awarded for sales performance and, in 2016, four of the Company's restaurants were recognized as Blazin' 25 restaurants, which rewards the top performing 25 franchise restaurants in the system. Also in 2016, our Chief Operating Officer was awarded the Franchise Advisory Council Excellence Award.

The following organizational chart outlines the current corporate structure of DRH. A brief textual description of the entities follows the organizational chart. DRH is incorporated in Nevada.

 

 

AMC was formed on March 28, 2007, and serves as our operational and administrative center. AMC renders management, operational support, and advertising services to WINGS, REAL ESTATE and their subsidiaries. Services rendered by AMC include marketing, restaurant operations, restaurant management consultation, hiring and training of management and staff, and other management services reasonably required in the ordinary course of restaurant operations.

 

WINGS was formed on March 12, 2007, and serves as a holding company for our restaurants. We are economically dependent on retaining our franchise rights with BWLD. The franchise agreements have specific initial term expiration dates ranging from December 2020 through June 2037, depending on the date each was executed and the duration of its initial term. The franchise agreements are renewable at the option of the franchisor and are generally renewable if the franchisee has complied with the franchise agreement. When factoring in any applicable renewals, the franchise agreements have specific expiration dates ranging from December 2025 through June 2052. We believe we are in compliance with the terms of these agreements.

 

REAL ESTATE was formed on March 18, 2013, and serves as the holding company for any real estate properties owned by DRH. Currently, DRH does not own any real estate after completing a sale leaseback transaction. Refer to Note 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the sale leaseback transaction.

 

Our headquarters are located at 27680 Franklin Road, Southfield, Michigan 48034. Our telephone number is (248) 223-9160. We can also be found on the Internet at www.diversifiedrestaurantholdings.com.

 

 

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties and all other information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, including the risks and uncertainties discussed under “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, which covers the year that ended December 31, 2017 and which was filed with the SEC on March 9, 2018, and all other documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus, as updated by our subsequent filings under the Exchange Act, and the risk factors and other information included in the applicable prospectus supplement.  The occurrence of any of these risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. In any such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose all, or a part, of your investment.

Subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or to persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements set forth above and elsewhere in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We expressly disclaim any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

In the event of the liquidation or dissolution, whether voluntary or involuntary, of DRH, each share of common stock is entitled to share ratably in any assets available for distribution to holders of our equity after satisfaction of all liabilities.

 

Preferred Stock

 

Our Board is authorized under our Articles to provide for the issuance of 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, by resolution or resolutions for the issuance of such stock and, by filing a certificate of designations under Nevada law, to fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each such series and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof without any further vote or action by the stockholders. Any shares of preferred stock so issued are likely to have priority over our common stock with respect to dividend or liquidation rights. No preferred shares are issued or outstanding as of the date of this prospectus. The authority of the Board with respect to the preferred stock shall include, but not be limited to, setting or changing the following:

 

1. the annual dividend rate, if any, on shares of preferred stock, the times of payment and the date from which dividends shall be accumulated, if dividends are to be cumulative;

 

2. whether the shares of preferred stock shall be redeemable and, if so, the redemption price and the terms and conditions of such redemption;

 

3. the obligation, if any, of DRH to redeem shares of preferred stock pursuant to a sinking fund;

 

8

 

 

4. whether shares of preferred stock shall be convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of stock of any other class or classes and, if so, the terms and conditions of such conversion or exchange, including the price or prices or the rate or rates of conversion or exchange and the terms of adjustment, if any;

 

5. whether the shares of preferred stock shall have voting rights, in addition to the voting rights provided by law, and, if so, the extent of such voting rights;

 

6. the rights of the shares of preferred stock in the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of DRH; and

 

7. any other relative rights, powers, preferences, qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof relating to the preferred stock.

 

The issuance of shares of preferred stock, or the issuance of rights to purchase such shares, could be used to discourage an unsolicited acquisition proposal. For instance, the issuance of a series of preferred stock might impede a business combination by including class voting rights that would enable the holder to block such a transaction, or facilitate a business combination by including voting rights that would provide a required percentage vote of the stockholders. In addition, under certain circumstances, the issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of the common stock. Although the Board is required to make any determination to issue such stock based on its judgment as to the best interests of our stockholders, the Board could act in a manner that would discourage an acquisition attempt or other transaction that some, or a majority, of the stockholders might believe to be in their best interests or in which stockholders might receive a premium for their stock over the then market price of such stock. The Board does not at present intend to seek stockholder approval prior to any issuance of currently authorized preferred stock, unless otherwise required by law.

 

Public Market for our Common Stock

 

Our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “SAUC.”

 

Stockholders of our Common Shares

 

As of May 8, 2018, we had 390 holders of record of our 26,922,389 shares of common stock outstanding, excluding stockholders whose stock is held either in nominee name and/or street name brokerage accounts.

 

Anti-takeover Provisions

 

Our Bylaws provide that we are not subject to Nevada Revised Statutes Sections 78.378 to 78.3793, which generally place certain limitations on acquisitions by or combinations with controlling stockholders.

 

Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws Provisions

 

Provisions of our Articles and Bylaws may delay or discourage transactions involving an actual or potential change in our control or change in our management, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares, or transactions that our stockholders might otherwise deem to be in their best interests. Therefore, these provisions could adversely affect the price of our common stock. Among other things, our Articles and Bylaws:

 

 

provide that the authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of the Board;

 

 

provide that all vacancies, including newly created directorships, may, except as otherwise required by law, be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum;

 

9

 

 

 

provide that stockholders seeking to present proposals before a meeting of stockholders or to nominate candidates for election as directors at a meeting of stockholders must provide notice in writing in a timely manner, and also specify requirements as to the form and content of a stockholder’s notice;

 

 

do not provide for cumulative voting rights (therefore allowing the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors to elect all of the directors standing for election, if they should so choose);

 

 

authorize the Board, acting by majority vote, to amend portions of the Bylaws adopted by the stockholders, except to the extent the stockholders have specified portions of the Bylaws that cannot be amended by the Board;

 

 

provide that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by the chairman of the Board, our CEO, the Board pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of authorized directors or holders of shares entitled to cast not less than 25.0% of the votes at the meeting; and

 

 

authorize our Board to issue, without further action by the stockholders, up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock and to determine the preferences, rights, and powers of such shares.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES 

 

We may offer secured or unsecured debt securities which may be senior or subordinated, and which may be convertible or exchangeable. We will issue the debt securities under one or more separate indentures between us and a trustee to be specified in an accompanying prospectus supplement. We will issue senior debt securities under a senior indenture and subordinated debt securities under a subordinated indenture. Together, the senior indenture and the subordinated indenture are called indentures in this description. This prospectus, together with the applicable prospectus supplement, will describe the terms of a particular series of debt securities.

 

The payment obligations of the issuer under any series of debt securities may be guaranteed by our subsidiaries. If a series of debt securities is so guaranteed, the guarantors will execute the applicable indenture, a supplemental indenture or a notation of guarantee as further evidence of their guarantee. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the terms of any guarantee. The obligations of each guarantor under its guarantee may be limited to the maximum amount that will not result in such guarantee obligations constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or state law, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of that subsidiary and any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other guarantor in respect to its obligations under its guarantee.

 

The following description sets forth selected general terms and provisions of the applicable indenture and debt securities to which any prospectus supplement may relate. Other specific terms of the applicable indenture and debt securities will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. If any particular terms of the indenture or debt securities described in a prospectus supplement differ from any of the terms described below, then the terms described below will be deemed to have been superseded by that prospectus supplement. The summary of selected provisions of the indentures and the debt securities appearing below is not complete and is subject to, and qualified entirely by reference to, all of the provisions of the applicable indenture and certificates evidencing the applicable debt securities. You should carefully review the applicable indenture and the certificate evidencing the applicable debt security that is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement that includes the prospectus for additional information. In this description of the debt securities, the words “we,” “us” or “our” refer only Diversified Restaurant Holdings, Inc. and not to any of our subsidiaries, unless we expressly state or the context otherwise requires.

 

General

 

The aggregate principal amount of debt securities that may be issued under the indentures is unlimited. The prospectus supplement relating to any series of debt securities that we may offer will contain the specific terms of the debt securities. These terms may include the following:

 

 

the title and aggregate principal amount of the debt securities and any limit on the aggregate principal amount;

 

 

whether the debt securities will be secured or unsecured;

 

 

whether the debt securities will be senior or subordinated;

 

 

any applicable subordination provisions for any subordinated debt securities;

 

 

the maturity date(s) or method for determining same;

 

 

the interest rate(s) or the method for determining same;

 

 

the dates on which interest will accrue or the method for determining dates on which interest will accrue and dates on which interest will be payable and whether interest shall be payable in cash or additional securities;

 

12

 

 

 

whether the debt securities are convertible or exchangeable into other securities and any related terms and conditions;

 

 

redemption or early repayment provisions;

 

 

authorized denominations;

 

 

if other than the principal amount, the principal amount of debt securities payable upon acceleration;

 

 

place(s) where payment of principal and interest may be made, where debt securities may be presented and where notices or demands upon us may be made;

 

 

whether such debt securities will be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more global securities and the date as which the securities are dated if other than the date of original issuance;

 

 

amount of discount or premium, if any, with which such debt securities will be issued;

 

 

any covenants applicable to the particular debt securities being issued;

 

 

any additions or changes in the defaults and events of default applicable to the particular debt securities being issued;

 

 

the currency, currencies or currency units in which the purchase price for, the principal of and any premium and any interest on, such debt securities will be payable;

 

 

the time period within which, the manner in which and the terms and conditions upon which the holders of the debt securities or we can select the payment currency;

 

 

our obligation or right to redeem, purchase or repay debt securities under a sinking fund, amortization or analogous provision;

 

 

any restriction or conditions on the transferability of the debt securities;

 

 

provisions granting special rights to holders of the debt securities upon occurrence of specified events;

 

 

additions or changes relating to compensation or reimbursement of the trustee of the series of debt securities;

 

 

additions or changes to the provisions for the defeasance of the debt securities or to provisions related to satisfaction and discharge of the applicable indenture;

 

 

provisions relating to the modification of the indentures both with and without the consent of holders of debt securities issued under the indentures and the execution of supplemental indentures for such series; and

 

 

any other terms of the debt securities (which terms shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (the “TIA”), but may modify, amend, supplement or delete any of the terms of the indenture with respect to such series of debt securities).

 

 

We may sell the debt securities, including original issue discount securities, at par or at a substantial discount below their stated principal amount. Unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, we may issue additional debt securities of a particular series without the consent of the holders of the debt securities of such series or any other series outstanding at the time of issuance. Any such additional debt securities, together with all other outstanding debt securities of that series, will constitute a single series of securities under the applicable indenture.

 

13

 

 

We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement any other special considerations for any debt securities we sell which are denominated in a currency or currency unit other than U.S. dollars. In addition, debt securities may be issued where the amount of principal and/or interest payable is determined by reference to one or more currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity indices or other factors. Holders of such securities may receive a principal amount or a payment of interest that is greater than or less than the amount of principal or interest otherwise payable on such dates, depending upon the value of the applicable currencies, commodities, equity indices or other factors. Information as to the methods for determining the amount of principal or interest, if any, payable on any date, the currencies, commodities, equity indices or other factors to which the amount payable on such date is linked.

 

U.S. federal income tax consequences and special considerations, if any, applicable to any such series will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Unless we inform you otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities will not be listed on any securities exchange.

 

We expect most debt securities to be issued in fully registered form without coupons and in denominations of US$2,000 and any integral multiples in excess thereof. Subject to the limitations provided in the applicable indenture and in applicable the prospectus supplement, debt securities that are issued in registered form may be transferred or exchanged at the designated corporate trust office of the trustee, without the payment of any service charge, other than any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

 

Global Securities

 

Unless we inform you otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities of a series may be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more global securities that will be deposited with, or on behalf of, a depositary identified in the applicable prospectus supplement. Global securities will be issued in registered form and in either temporary or definitive form. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the individual debt securities, a global security may not be transferred except as a whole by the depositary for such global security to a nominee of such depositary or by a nominee of such depositary to such depositary or another nominee of such depositary or by such depositary or any such nominee to a successor of such depositary or a nominee of such successor. The specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to any debt securities of a series and the rights of and limitations upon owners of beneficial interests in a global security will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

Governing Law

 

The indentures and the debt securities shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Nevada.

 

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS

 

We may issue units to purchase one or more of the securities referenced herein.  The prospectus supplement relating to units will describe the terms of any units we issue, including as applicable:

 

  

the designation and terms of the units and the securities included in the units;

     
  any provision for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units;
     
  the date, if any, on and after which the units may be transferable separately;

  any material United States federal income tax consequences; and
     
  how, for United States federal income tax purposes, the purchase price paid for the units is to be allocated among the component securities.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We and the selling stockholder may sell securities directly to purchasers or indirectly through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents.

 

The distribution of the securities may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, or at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices.

 

Sales may be effected from time to time by one or more of the following methods permitted pursuant to applicable law, without limitation:

 

  

block trades (which may involve crosses) in which a broker or dealer will be engaged to attempt to sell securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

  direct sales to purchasers;
  purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by the broker or dealer for its own account;
  an “at the market” offering within the meaning of Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act;
  an over-the-counter distribution;
  ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchases;
  privately negotiated transactions;
  bidding or auction process;
  closing out of short sales;
  satisfying delivery obligations relating to the writing of options on the securities, whether or not the options are listed on an options exchange;
  one or more underwritten offerings on a firm commitment or best efforts basis;
  any combination of any of these methods; or
  any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 or Rule 144A rather than pursuant to this prospectus.

 

We and/or the selling stockholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the offered shares and deliver these shares to close out short positions or loan or pledge the underlying shares to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these shares.

  

The selling stockholder may also sell shares of common stock short and deliver shares of common stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions, provided that the short sale is made after the registration statement is declared effective.

 

The selling stockholder may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they defaults in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus.  The selling stockholder also may transfer or donate the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, donees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

 

The prospectus supplement relating to the securities will set forth the terms of the offering of such securities, including the name or names of any underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents, the name or names of any managing underwriter or underwriters, the purchase price of the securities and the net proceeds to us and/or the selling stockholder, as applicable, from such sale, any delayed delivery arrangements, any underwriting discounts and commissions and other items constituting underwriters’ compensation, any public offering price, any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers, any commissions paid to agents and any securities exchange or market on which the securities may be listed.

 

15

 

 

If we use underwriters in the sale of securities, the underwriters will acquire the securities for their own account. The underwriters may resell the securities from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. Underwriters may offer securities to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more firms acting as underwriters. Unless we inform you otherwise in the prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to certain conditions, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the offered securities if they purchase any of them. The underwriters may change from time to time any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers.

 

In connection with the sale of the securities, underwriters may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions, or commissions from us, the selling stockholder or the purchasers. Underwriters may sell the securities to or through dealers, and such dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act as agents. The selling stockholder and any underwriters, broker-dealers and agents that participate in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act.  Any discounts allowed or commissions paid, and any profit on the resale of the securities they realize may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.  Any person who may be deemed to be an underwriter will be identified, and the compensation received from us or the selling stockholder will be described, in the prospectus supplement.  In no event will the aggregate value of compensation received or to be received by Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) members or independent broker-dealers exceed 8% for the sale of securities registered hereunder.  If 5% or more of the net proceeds of any offering of securities made under this prospectus will be received by a FINRA member participating in the offering or affiliates or associated persons of such FINRA member, the offering will be conducted in accordance with FINRA Rule 5121 (or any successor rule).

 

The selling stockholder and any person participating in the distribution of securities registered under the registration statement that includes this prospectus will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and applicable SEC rules and regulations, including, among others, Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of our securities by any such person. Furthermore, Regulation M may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of our securities to engage in market-making activities with respect to our securities. We have informed the selling stockholder that the anti-manipulative provisions of Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act may apply to its sales in the market. These restrictions may affect the marketability of our securities and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to our securities.

 

 During and after an offering through underwriters, the underwriters may purchase and sell the securities in the open market. These transactions may include over-allotment and stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover syndicate short positions created in connection with the offering. The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid, whereby selling concessions allowed to syndicate members or other broker-dealers for the securities sold for their account may be reclaimed by the syndicate if those securities are repurchased by the syndicate in stabilizing or covering transactions. These activities may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the securities, which may be higher than the price that might otherwise prevail in the open market, and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

 

We and the selling stockholder may sell securities directly to one or more purchasers without using underwriters or agents.  We may also make direct sales through subscription rights distributed to our stockholders on a pro rata basis, which may or may not be transferable.  In any distribution of subscription rights to stockholders, if all of the underlying securities are not subscribed for, we may then sell the unsubscribed securities directly to third parties or may engage the services of one or more underwriters, dealers or agents, including standby underwriters, to sell the unsubscribed securities.

 

The securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws.  In addition, in certain states, the securities may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

 

All securities we offer, other than common stock, will be new issues of securities with no established trading market. Any underwriters may make a market in these securities, but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. We cannot guarantee the liquidity of the trading markets for any securities.

 

16

 

 

If so indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will authorize underwriters or other persons acting as our agents to solicit offers by certain institutions to purchase the securities from us at the public offering price set forth in such prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on the date or dates stated in such prospectus supplement. Each such contract will be for an amount not less than, and the aggregate principal amount of securities sold pursuant to such contracts will be neither less nor more than, the respective amounts stated in the applicable prospectus supplement. Institutions with whom such contracts, when authorized, may be made include savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies, educational and charitable institutions and other institutions, but will in all cases be subject to our approval.  The obligations of any purchaser under any such contract will be subject to the conditions that:

 

the purchase of the securities may not at the time of delivery be prohibited under the laws of any jurisdiction in the United States to which such purchaser is subject; and

 

if the securities are being sold to underwriters, we must have sold to such underwriters the total principal amount of such securities less the principal amount thereof covered by such contracts.

 

Underwriters and agents may be entitled to indemnification by us or the selling stockholder against some civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contributions with respect to payments which the underwriters or agents may be required to make relating to these liabilities. Underwriters and agents may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for us or the selling stockholder in the ordinary course of business.

 

There can be no assurance that we or the selling stockholder will sell any or all of the securities registered pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

 

Each selling stockholder has represented to us that at the time of receipt of its shares and at the time of filing the registration statement with the SEC, such selling stockholder had no agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the shares.

  

The selling stockholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any, associated with the sale of its shares.  We and the selling stockholder have agreed to bear all expenses incurred pursuant to this registration statement (excluding attorneys’ fees and disbursements) on a pro rata basis based on the number of shares offered by each party in the registration.  We and the selling stockholder are each responsible for our own attorneys’ fees and disbursements.  We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholder and the selling stockholder has agreed to indemnify us against some specified liabilities, including some that may arise under the Securities Act.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

 

Diversified Restaurant Holdings, Inc.

 

Section 78.138 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) provides that, except as otherwise provided in NRS 35.230, 90.660, 91.250, 452.200, 452.270, 668.045 and 694A.030, a director or officer is not individually liable to the corporation or its stockholders or creditors for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his or her capacity as a director or officer unless it is proven that: (a) The director’s or officer’s act or failure to act constituted a breach of his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer; and (b) The breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. Section 78.138 further provides that the Articles or an amendment thereto may provide for greater individual liability. Our Articles do not contain any provision that would expand the individual liability of our officers and directors beyond that prescribed by Section 78.138.

 

Pursuant to our Bylaws, we shall indemnify each person who is or was a director, officer, team member, or agent of ours (including the heirs, executors, administrators or estate of such person) or is or was serving at our request of the Company as a director, officer, team member, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise to the full extent permitted under the NRS or any successor law or laws.

 

Section 78.7502(1) of the NRS permits a corporation to indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts incurred in connection with the proceeding so long as that person (a) is not liable for a breach of duty of good faith or loyalty to the corporation pursuant to NRS Section 78.138; or (b) acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful.

 

Section 78.7502(2) of the NRS permits indemnification against expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of an action by or in the right of the corporation to obtain a judgment in its favor, provided that a corporation may not provide indemnification for any: (a) claim, issue or matter for which the person has been found liable to the corporation; or (b) amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless the court determines that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for the expenses.

 

Further, Section 78.7502(3) of the NRS provides that a corporation must indemnify directors, officers, employees and agents against expenses actually and reasonably incurred to the extent the person was successful on the merits in defending a proceeding under Section 78.7502(1) or (2).

 

Section 78.751 of the NRS provides that determination of discretionary indemnification must be made by (a) the stockholders; (b) the Board by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who are not parties to the action, suit or proceeding; (c) if a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (d) if a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion.

 

Section 78.752 of the NRS provides that a corporation may purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise for any liability asserted against the person and liability and expenses incurred by the person in his or her capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation has the authority to indemnify such a person against such liability and expenses.

 

The other financial arrangements made by the corporation may include the following: (a) the creation of a trust fund; (b) the establishment of a program of self-insurance; (c) the securing of its obligation of indemnification by granting a security interest or other lien on any assets of the corporation; and (d) the establishment of a letter of credit, guaranty or surety. These financial arrangements may not provide protection for a person adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals, to be liable for intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, except with respect to the advancement of expenses or indemnification ordered by a court.

 

II-20

 

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

 

At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors or officers as to which indemnification is required or permitted, and we are not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding that may result in a claim for indemnification.

 

We have an insurance policy covering our officers and directors with respect to certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act or otherwise.

 

Michigan Registrants

 

The registrants organized as corporations under Michigan law are subject to the provisions of the Michigan Business Corporation Act (“MBCA”). The Articles of Incorporation of each of the Michigan registrants generally limit the personal liability of its directors to the applicable registrant and its shareholders for breach of their fiduciary duty. The Articles of Incorporation of each of the Michigan registrant, however, do not eliminate or limit the liability of a director for any of the following: (1) the amount of a financial benefit received by a director to which he or she is not entitled; (2) intentional infliction of harm on the registrant or its shareholders; (3) a violation of Section 551 of the MBCA relating to unlawful distributions or loans; and (4) an intentional criminal act.

 

Sections 561 through 571 of the MBCA authorize indemnification of directors and officers of Michigan corporations. With respect to actions in the right of a corporation, the Bylaws of each of the Michigan registrants permit the applicable registrant to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action or suit by or in the right of the such registrant to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of such registrant, or is or was serving at the request of such registrant as a director, or officer, or trustee, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the action or suit, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of such registrant or its shareholders.

 

With respect to third party actions, the Bylaws of each of the Michigan registrants permit the applicable registrant to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to a threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative and whether formal or informal, other than an action by or in the right of the registrant, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of such registrant, or is or was serving at the request of such registrant as a director, officer, partner or trustee, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, penalties, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such action, suit, or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of such registrant or its shareholders, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if he or she had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Each of the Bylaws further require the applicable corporation to indemnify officers and directors whose defense on the merits or otherwise has been successful.

 

Although the bylaws of each of the Michigan registrants permit indemnification in the situations described above, each request by an officer or director for indemnification (except where the officer’s or director’s defense has been successful) must be individually authorized upon a determination that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the person has met the applicable standard of conduct provided in the MBCA. The determination may be made in any one of the following ways: (1) by a majority of a quorum of the board consisting of directors who are not parties or threatened to be made parties to the action, suit or proceeding; (2) if the quorum in (1) is not obtainable, then by majority vote of a committee of at least two directors who are not at the time parties or threatened to be made parties to the action, suit or proceeding; (3) by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; (4) the corporation’s shareholders, other than directors, officers, employees or agents who are parties or threatened to be made parties to the action, suit or proceeding; or (5) by all directors meeting the MBCA definition of “independent director” who are not parties or threatened to be made parties to the action, suit or proceeding. However, because the corporation’s Articles of Incorporation contain a provision limiting monetary liability of directors, the corporation may indemnify a director without a determination that the applicable standard of conduct has been met unless the director received a financial benefit to which he or she was not entitled, intentionally inflicted harm on the corporation or its shareholders, violated the MBCA provision relating to unlawful distributions or loans or intentionally violated criminal law. The authorization of payment may be made in any one of the following ways: (1) if there are two or more directors who are not parties or threatened to be made parties to the action, suit or proceeding, by a majority of all such directors or by majority vote of a committee of at least two such directors; (2) by a majority vote of any directors of the corporation meeting the MBCA definition of “independent director” who are not parties or threatened to be made parties to the action, suit or proceeding; (3) if there are no “independent directors” and fewer than two directors who are not parties or threatened to be made parties to the action, suit or proceeding, by majority vote of the board; or (4) the corporation’s shareholders, other than directors, officers, employees or agents who are parties or threatened to be made parties to the action, suit or proceeding. The bylaws also provide that indemnification is a contractual right between the corporation and the officer or director, who may not be adversely affected by a repeal of the indemnification provisions of the corporation’s bylaws.

 

II-21

 

 

Section 567 of the MBCA and the bylaws of each of the Michigan registrants authorize each such registrant to purchase and maintain insurance from a third party insurer on behalf of a person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or who is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another enterprise, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her under the bylaws or the laws of the State of Michigan. The corporation maintains directors’ and officers’ insurance policies. The policies insures directors and officers against unindemnified losses from certain wrongful acts in their capacities as directors and officers of the corporation, or in a similar capacity for another entity at the request of the corporation, and insure the corporation for those losses for which it has lawfully indemnified the directors and officers and losses arising from certain claims against the corporation.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to officers and directors pursuant to the foregoing provisions, each of the Michigan registrants has been informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

 

 

ITEM 16. EXHIBITS.

 

The exhibits listed in the Exhibit Index immediately preceding the exhibits are filed as part of this registration statement on Form S-3.

 

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.

 

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
     
  (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

  (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
     
 

(ii)

To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

     
  (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

 

II-22

 

 

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

 

 

(2)

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

 

(3)

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

 

(4)

That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

 

  (i) If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B,

     

 

(A)

Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

 

 

(B)

Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to the effective date; or

 

 

(ii)

If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

 

II-23

 

 

 

(5)

That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer and sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

 

(i)

Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

 

 

(ii)

Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 

 

(iii)

The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

 

 

(iv)

Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 

(b)

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(c)

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding), is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

(d)

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

 

 

(1)

For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

 

 

(2)

For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(e)

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the SEC under Section 305(b)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.
