Explanatory Note:

 

This Amendment No. 7 (this “Amendment No. 7”) amends and supplements the information set forth in the statement on Schedule 13D originally filed jointly on behalf of Cambridge Franchise Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ CFH”), Cambridge Franchise Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“CFP”), Matthew Perelman, a United States citizen, and Alexander Sloane, a United States citizen (the foregoing filers, collectively, the “Reporting Persons”), with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 10, 2019 (the “Original Schedule 13D”), as subsequently amended on September 3, 2019 (“Amendment No. 1”), as subsequently amended on August 18, 2023 (“Amendment No. 2”), as subsequently amended on September 15, 2023 (“Amendment No. 3”), as subsequently amended on November 13, 2023 (“Amendment No. 4”), as subsequently amended on December 6, 2023 (“Amendment No. 5”), and as subsequently amended on January 17, 2024 (“Amendment No. 6,” and together with the Original Schedule 13D, Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2, Amendment No. 3, Amendment No. 4, and Amendment No. 5, the “Schedule 13D”) relating to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), of Carrols Restaurant Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). Information set forth in response to any item of the Schedule 13D, as amended and supplemented by this Amendment No. 7 (as so amended and supplemented, this “Statement”), shall be deemed to be a response to all other items hereof to which such information is relevant. Unless noted otherwise, capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 7 shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.

 

 

On May 16, 2024, the Issuer consummated the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 16, 2024 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Restaurant Brands International Inc. and BK Cheshire Corp. (the “Closing”). Upon the Closing, each outstanding share of Issuer Common Stock was cancelled and converted into the right to receive $9.55 in cash, without interest thereon, under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.

 

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

(a)-(b) The responses of each Reporting Person to Rows (7) through (13) of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D are hereby incorporated by reference in this Item 5. As a result of the Closing, as described herein and as reported on the Issuer’s Form 8-K filed on May 15, 2024, the Reporting Persons hold 0 shares of Issuer Common Stock, constituting 0% ownership of all shares of Common Stock outstanding.

 

(c) Except as described elsewhere in this Statement or in any other filing with the SEC, no Reporting Person has effected any transaction in the Common Stock in the past 60 days.

 

(d) Not applicable.

 

(e) As a result of the Closing, each of the Reporting Persons has ceased to be the owner of any Issuer securities. The filing of this Amendment No. 7 represents the final amendment to this Statement on Schedule 13D and constitutes an exit filing for the Reporting Persons.

 

SIGNATURE

 

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
