TORONTO, Aug. 12,
2024 /CNW/ - Restaurant Brands International Inc.
("RBI" or the "Company") (TSX: QSR) (NYSE: QSR) announced today
that an underwritten registered public offering (the "offering") of
up to 6,528,013 common shares commenced by HL1 17 LP ("the Selling
Shareholder"), an affiliate of 3G Capital Partners Ltd. ("3G
Capital"), had priced. These common shares relate to the
exchange notice received by Restaurant Brands International Limited
Partnership ("RBI LP") from the Selling Shareholder, to exchange
6,528,013 Class B exchangeable limited partnership units of RBI LP
(the "Exchangeable Units"). RBI LP intends to satisfy this
notice with the delivery of an equal number of common shares of RBI
(the "Exchange").
In connection with the offering, the Selling Shareholder entered
into a forward sale agreement with BofA Securities (the "forward
counterparty") with respect to up to 6,528,013 common
shares. In connection with the forward sale agreement, the
forward counterparty or its affiliates are expected to borrow and
sell through the underwriter 3,528,013 common shares in the
offering, and in addition to sell through the underwriter up to
3,000,000 common shares in the offering to the extent a current
investor that has indicated an interest in purchasing such shares
completes such purchase. The Selling Shareholder is expected to
physically settle the forward sale agreement by delivering to the
forward counterparty the number of common shares sold in the
registered public offering. Upon settlement of the forward sale
agreement, the Selling Shareholder will receive, in cash, the
public offering price of the aggregate number of RBI common shares
sold in the offering, less underwriting discounts and commissions,
subject to certain adjustments as provided in the forward sale
agreement. The settlement of the forward sale agreement and the
Exchange is expected to occur on or before August 30, 2024.
RBI will not sell any common shares in the offering and will not
receive any proceeds from the sale of the common shares. The
aggregate number of Exchangeable Units and RBI common shares will
not change as a result of the transactions.
BofA Securities is acting as sole book-running manager in the
offering. BofA Securities may offer the common shares in the
offering from time to time in one or more transactions on the New
York Stock Exchange, in the over-the-counter market or through
negotiated transactions at market prices or at negotiated
prices.
The offering is expected to close on August 14, 2024, though a portion of the offering
may close at any time prior to settlement of the Exchange, in each
case subject to customary closing conditions.
The offering is being made pursuant to an effective shelf
registration statement (containing a prospectus) filed with the
U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). A final
prospectus supplement relating to the offering will be filed with
the SEC and will be available on the SEC's website at
