expected to close on or around March 31, 2020, subject to
satisfaction of certain closing conditions. All shareholders
of record at the close of business on March 26,
2020 shall be eligible to receive shares of the spin-off on a
pro-rata basis.”
Sonnet BioTherapeutics President and CEO, Pankaj Mohan, Ph.D.
commented, “The merger transaction, once closed, is expected to
clear the way for Sonnet to accelerate the advancement of our
pipeline and clinical programs. We are excited about the
potential for our proprietary immunotherapy platform to generate
lifesaving therapeutics for cancer patients around the world.”
The results of each of the proposals voted upon at the Special

Forward-Looking Statements
This report and the press release attached hereto as Exhibit
99.1 contain forward-looking statements based upon Chanticleer’s
and Sonnet’s current expectations. This communication contains
“forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Chanticleer and Sonnet
generally identify forward-looking statements by terminology such
as “may,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,”
“intends,” “target,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,”
“estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative
of these terms or other similar words. These statements are only
predictions. Chanticleer and Sonnet have based these
forward-looking statements largely on their then-current
expectations and projections about future events and financial
trends as well as the beliefs and assumptions of management.
Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and
uncertainties, many of which involve factors or circumstances that
are beyond each of Chanticleer’s and Sonnet’s control.
Chanticleer’s and Sonnet’s actual results could differ materially
from those stated or implied in forward-looking statements due to a
number of factors, including but not limited to: (i) risks
associated with Chanticleer’s ability to obtain the shareholder
approval required to consummate the proposed merger transaction and
the timing of the closing of the proposed merger transaction,
including the risks that a condition to closing would not be
satisfied within the expected timeframe or at all or that the
closing of the proposed merger transaction will not occur; (ii) the
outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the
parties and others related to the Merger Agreement; (iii) the
occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance or condition
that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement,
(iv) unanticipated difficulties or expenditures relating to the
proposed merger transaction, the response of business partners and
competitors to the announcement of the proposed merger transaction,
and/or potential difficulties in employee retention as a result of
the announcement and pendency of the proposed merger transaction;
and (v) those risks detailed in Chanticleer’s most recent Annual
Report on Form 10-K and subsequent reports filed with the SEC, as
well as other documents that may be filed by Chanticleer from time
to time with the SEC. Accordingly, you should not rely upon
forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Neither
Chanticleer nor Sonnet can assure you that the events and
circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be
achieved or occur, and actual results could differ materially from
those projected in the forward-looking statements. The
forward-looking statements made in this communication relate only
to events as of the date on which the statements are made. Except
as required by applicable law or regulation, Chanticleer and Sonnet
undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to
reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the
statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated
events.
