What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Checkersrallys's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if Checkersrallys (or its assignee) exercises its option to purchase the Purchased Assets, the closing for the purchase will occur no later than sixty (60) days after the exercise of the purchase option. At closing, fifty percent of the purchase price will be paid in cash.

This means that a Checkersrallys franchisee who is selling their Purchased Assets back to Checkersrallys will receive half of the payment within 60 days of Checkersrallys exercising their purchase option. The remaining balance will be paid out later.

It is important for a prospective Checkersrallys franchisee to understand the timing and conditions under which Checkersrallys might exercise its option to purchase the Purchased Assets, as this can impact the franchisee's exit strategy and financial planning.
