Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words “outlook”, “believes”, “plans”, “intends”, “expects”, “goals”, “potential”, “continues”, “may”, “should”, “seeks”, “will”, “would” ,“approximately”, “predicts”, “estimates”, “anticipates” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words.

We believe that it is important to communicate our future expectations to our investors. There will be events in the future, however, that we are not able to predict accurately or control. The factors listed under “Risk Factors” in this prospectus and in any documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus as well as any cautionary language in this prospectus, provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations we describe in our forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, among other things, risks and uncertainties related to:

Before you invest in our securities, you should be aware that the occurrence of the events described in these risk factors and elsewhere in this prospectus under the heading “Risk Factors” and in any documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial position. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this prospectus speaks only as of the date on which we make it. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ will emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. All forward-looking statements should be evaluated with the understanding of their inherent uncertainty. You are advised to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in the reports we file with the SEC pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14, or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (or the “Exchange Act”).

RISK FACTORS

Our business is influenced by many factors that are difficult to predict and that involve uncertainties that may materially affect our actual operating results, cash flows and financial condition. Before making an investment decision in our securities, you should carefully consider the specific factors set forth in our periodic reports filed with the SEC that are incorporated by reference herein (including the “Risk Factors” section set forth in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 and Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2015) together with all of the other information appearing in this prospectus or incorporated by reference into this prospectus in light of your particular investment objectives and financial circumstances.

THE COMPANY

The Company

Chanticleer was organized in October 1999 under the laws of the State of Delaware using the original name Tulvine Systems, Inc. The Company previously had limited operations and was considered a development stage company until July 2005. In May 2005, Tulvine Systems, Inc. merged with and changed its name to Chanticleer Holdings, Inc.

Our Business

We are in the business of owning, operating and franchising fast casual dining concepts domestically and internationally.

Restaurant Brands

Hooters

Hooters restaurants are casual beach-themed establishments that feature music, sports on large flat screens, and a menu that includes seafood, sandwiches, burgers, salads, Hooters original chicken wings and the “nearly world famous” Hooters Girls. The menu of each location can vary with the local tastes. Hooters began in 1983 with its first restaurant in Clearwater, Florida. From the original restaurant and licensee Robert Brooks, Hooters has become a global brand, with 430 Hooters restaurants in more than 28 countries.

Chanticleer currently owns, in whole or part, the exclusive franchise rights to develop and operate Hooters restaurants in South Africa, Hungary, Poland, Brazil, Australia and the United Kingdom. We currently own and operate in whole or part of 15 Hooters restaurants.

We expect to either own 100% of the Hooters franchise or partner with a local franchisee in the countries we target. We are focused on expanding our Hooters operations in the following areas: United Kingdom, South Africa, Brazil, Hungary, Poland and Australia. We may also expand in the United States if the opportunity presents itself.

American Burger Company

In September 2013, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of American Roadside Burgers, Inc., which we are operating under the brand name American Burger Company (“ABC”). ABC focuses on American food menu offerings, which include its signature burgers, turkey and veggie burgers, chicken sandwiches, wings, a variety of salads and homemade milkshakes. ABC is a fast casual concept, with a warm and relaxing atmosphere and a strong focus on customer service. Each restaurant features a nostalgic “Made in America” feel with sustainable features throughout, including reclaimed barn siding on the walls and floors and chairs made from recycled materials. We are currently operating one ABC store in Smithtown, New York, two locations in Charlotte, North Carolina, and one location in Greenville, South Carolina.

The Burger Company

On September 9, 2014, we acquired The Burger Company in Charlotte, North Carolina, an award winning casual burger joint in the fast growing better-burger space, which is an integral step in our strategic growth plan to take the better-burger category into its international markets.

Just Fresh

In November 2013, we acquired a majority (51%) interest in each of JF Restaurants, LLC and JF Franchising Systems, LLC, owners of Just Fresh, a Charlotte, North Carolina-based casual dining concept. Just Fresh opened its first café in 1993 and has expanded to seven restaurants in the Charlotte, North Carolina area. The menu consists of fresh, health-conscious items such as salads, wraps, sandwiches, soups, freshly baked items and smoothies. In December 2013, we acquired an additional 5% interest in each of JF Restaurants, LLC and JF Franchising Systems, LLC, bringing our total ownership to 56% of each entity as of December 31, 2014. In November 2014, we opened our latest Just Fresh location in the Ballantyne Corporate Place in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Recent Restaurant Acquisitions

On March 15, 2015, we purchased the assets of BGR Holdings, LLC, through a wholly owned subsidiary. We acquired substantially all of the assets of BGR, including the ownership interests of a franchising subsidiary, an operating subsidiary and various restaurant locations engaged in the fast casual hamburger restaurant business under the name “BGR The Burger Joint” in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington DC. BGR operated nine company-owned stores and 11 franchisee-owned stores at the time of acquisition. After the acquisition, BGR recently opened an additional franchise–owned store, its second international franchise located in Kuwait.

On July 1, 2015, we acquired substantially all of the assets, including ownership interests of a franchising subsidiary, an operating subsidiary and four restaurant locations engaged in the fast casual hamburger restaurant business under the name “BT’s Burger Joint” from BT’s Burgerjoint Management, LLC. In consideration of the purchased assets, we paid a purchase price consisting of $1,400,000 in cash and issued 424,088 shares of the Company’s common stock.

On September 30, 2015, through wholly owned subsidiaries, we closed a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with various entities operating a total of eight Little Big Burger restaurants in the State of Oregon. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, we acquired all of the membership interests of the Little Big Burger entities operating restaurants engaged in the fast casual hamburger restaurant business under the name “Little Big Burger”. In consideration, we paid a purchase price consisting of $3,600,000 in cash and issued 1,874,063 shares of our common stock.

During August 2015, with our new business partner in Australia, PCS Investments Pty Ltd. (“PCS”), we entered into agreements to acquire the assets of our five Australia entities from the voluntary administrators appointed to review their affairs and assess their financial condition. We closed on the purchase of the five Hooters Australia stores in early October 2015, with Chanticleer contributing $1.0 million in additional capital for 80% ownership and PCS investing $0.3 million for 20% ownership in the five Hooters stores. Effective early October, we resumed management and operating control for the Hooters stores.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK

The following is a summary of the material terms of our common stock. This summary does not purport to be exhaustive and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, amended and restated bylaws and to the applicable provisions of Delaware law.

We are authorized to issue 45,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value. Holders of common stock are each entitled to cast one vote for each share held of record on all matters presented to shareholders. Cumulative voting is not allowed; the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock may elect all directors. Holders of common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by our board out of funds legally available and, in the event of liquidation, to share pro rata in any distribution of our assets after payment of liabilities. Our directors are not obligated to declare a dividend. It is not anticipated that dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future. Holders of common stock do not have preemptive rights to subscribe to any additional shares we may issue in the future. There are no conversion, redemption, sinking fund or similar provisions regarding the common stock. All outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and nonassessable.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Certain Provisions of Delaware Law and Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, an anti-takeover law. Subject to certain exceptions, the statute prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder unless:

	●	prior to such date, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

	●	upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding those shares owned (1) by persons who are directors and also officers and (2) by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or

	●	on or after such date, the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.

For purposes of Section 203, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset sale or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder, and an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years prior to the date of determination whether the person is an “Interested Stockholder” did own, 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock.

In addition, our authorized but unissued shares of common stock are available for our board to issue without stockholder approval. We may use these additional shares for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public or private offerings to raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions and employee benefit plans The existence of our authorized but unissued shares of common stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of our company by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or other transaction. Our authorized but unissued shares may be used to delay, defer or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider in its best interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares held by our stockholders. The board of directors is also authorized to adopt, amend or repeal our bylaws, which could delay, defer or prevent a change in control.

SECURITIES HELD BY SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS

On September 30, 2015 (“closing date”), through our wholly owned subsidiaries, we closed a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with various entities operating a total of eight Little Big Burger restaurants in the State of Oregon.

In consideration, we paid a purchase price consisting of $3,600,000 in cash and issued 1,874,063 shares of our common stock. The stock consideration is subject to a Leak Out Agreement, which provides that the holders of the stock consideration agree that they shall not, without our prior written consent, directly or indirectly, offer for sale, sell, assign, pledge, issue, distribute, grant any option or enter into any contract for sale of or otherwise dispose of any shares of the Stock Consideration in violation of the following schedule: (i) one third of the stock was immediately available for transfer upon the closing date; (ii) one third of the stock shall be available for transfer beginning on the 90th day following the closing date; and (iii) one third of the stock shall be available for transfer beginning on the 180th day following the closing date. Additionally, we agreed to file a registration statement registering the stock consideration within twenty (20) days of the closing date. In addition, the holders of a majority of the stock consideration entered into a Securities Account Control Agreement and Stock Pledge and Security Agreement whereby an aggregate $200,000 of the cash consideration and 1,619,646 shares are subject to various restrictions as set forth in those agreements.

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

An aggregate of 1,874,063 shares of common stock may be offered for sale and sold from time to time pursuant to this prospectus by the selling shareholders and their respective transferees, distributees, pledgees, donees, assignees or other successors. We are paying all of the expenses in connection with such registration and the sale of the shares, other than selling commissions and the fees and expenses of counsel and other advisors to the selling shareholders. Information concerning the selling shareholders may change from time to time, and any changed information will be set forth if and when required in prospectus supplements or other appropriate forms permitted to be used by the SEC.

The following table sets forth, for the selling shareholders to the extent known by us, the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned, the number of shares of our common stock offered hereby and the number of shares and percentage of outstanding common stock to be owned after completion of this offering, assuming all shares offered hereby are sold. None of the selling shareholders has had any material relationship within the past three years with us or, to our knowledge, our affiliates. To our knowledge, none of the selling shareholders is a broker-dealer and/or affiliated with a broker-dealer.

All of the information contained in the table below is based solely upon information provided to us by the selling shareholders or otherwise known by us. In addition to the shares offered hereby, the selling shareholders may otherwise beneficially own our shares of common stock as a result of, among others, open market purchases, which information is not obtainable by us without undue effort and expense. The selling shareholders may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time or from time to time since the date on which the information regarding the shares beneficially owned was last known by us, all or a portion of the shares beneficially owned in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

The number of shares outstanding and the percentages of beneficial ownership are based on 21,468,021 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding as of December 3, 2015.

For the purposes of the following table, the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned has been determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, and such information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under Rule 13d-3, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which a selling shareholder has sole or shared voting power or investment power and also any shares that that selling shareholder has the right to acquire within 60 days of the date of this prospectus through the exercise of any stock option.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The shares of common stock are subject to a Leak Out Agreement, which provides that the holders will not, without our prior written consent, directly or indirectly, offer for sale, sell, assign, pledge, issue, distribute, grant any option or enter into any contract for sale of or otherwise dispose of any shares in violation of the following schedule: (i) one third was immediately available for transfer upon the closing date of September 30, 2015; (ii) one third shall be available for transfer beginning on the 90th day following the closing date; and (iii) one third shall be available for transfer beginning on the 180^th day following the Closing Date. In addition, the holders of 1,619,646 shares agreed to additional restrictions set forth in a Securities Account Control Agreement and Stock Pledge and Security Agreement.

Subject to the restrictions set forth above, the selling shareholders may sell or dispose of the securities in one or more of the following ways (or in any combination) from time to time:

	●	through underwriters or dealers;

	●	directly to a limited number of purchasers or to a single purchaser (including block transactions);

	●	through agents; or

	●	an offering of shares by way of a distribution to shareholders, partners or members.

If the selling shareholders use underwriters in the sale, the securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account(s) and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, including:

	●	negotiated transactions;

	●	at a fixed public offering price or prices, which may be changed;

	●	at market prices prevailing at the time of sale;

	●	at prices related to prevailing market prices; or

	●	at negotiated prices.

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling shareholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling shareholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares of common stock, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction, not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.

The obligations of the underwriters to purchase any securities will be conditioned on customary closing conditions and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of such series of securities, if any are purchased.

The selling shareholders may sell the securities through agents from time to time. Generally, any agent will be acting on a best-efforts basis for the period of its appointment.

The selling shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions. In connection with such transactions, broker-dealers or other financial institutions may engage in short sales of our common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume with the selling shareholders. The selling shareholders may also enter into options or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered hereby, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The selling shareholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares of common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares of common stock purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each selling shareholder has informed us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the shares of common stock. In no event shall any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions and markups, which, in the aggregate, would exceed eight percent (8%).

Because selling shareholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act including Rule 172 thereunder. In addition, any shares of common stock covered by this prospectus that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. The selling shareholders have advised us that there is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the shares of common stock by the selling shareholders.
