RICK’S CABARET INTERNATIONAL RENEGOTIATES TERMS OF FINAL PUT OPTIONS
HOUSTON -- (May 12, 2009) – Rick’s Cabaret International, Inc., the premier operator of upscale gentlemen’s clubs, has renegotiated the terms of put options granted in the acquisition of a nightclub in Dallas, Texas. The new terms are the final pieces in a program under which the company has extended payment terms related to several of its recent acquisitions.
Under the renegotiated terms of a Lock-Up/Leak-Out agreement the sellers of The Executive Club will now have the right to put a maximum of 3,000 shares per month to Rick’s Cabaret for 12 months at $25 per share, rather than the original maximum of 5,000 per month.
The renegotiation of terms for the Dallas club defers $600,000 of potential put payments into future years.
