BurgerFi International, Inc. (NASDAQ:BFI, BFIIW))) ("BurgerFi" or the "Company"), owner of one of the nation's leading fast-casual "better burger" dining concepts through the BurgerFi brand, and the high-quality, casual dining pizza and wings concept under the name Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza & Wings ("Anthony's") brand, announces that a derivative action filed August 30, 2023 by two BurgerFi shareholders purportedly on behalf of the Company against certain of its current and former directors and officers has been voluntarily dismissed.
On September 20, 2023, United States District Court Judge Rodney Smith for the Southern District of Florida issued an order dismissing without prejudice the derivative action in the case of Samhita Gera and Denish Bhavsar v. Ophir Sternberg, et al., Case No. 023-cv-61678, and closed the case.
The dismissal of this derivative lawsuit follows the recent dismissal of a related securities class action lawsuit, John Walker v. BurgerFi International, Inc. et al., Case No. 023-cv-60657, which BurgerFi announced on September 7, 2023.
Both cases were dismissed in the preliminary stages without the company agreeing to any monetary or non-monetary settlement to the plaintiffs or their counsel. BurgerFi is not aware of any related lawsuits pending against it or any of its executives.
Management Commentary
"I am pleased to announce the dismissal of the derivative lawsuit so soon after the dismissal of the securities class action. Both cases have now been closed and the company is not subject to any monetary obligation. We will continue to focus on our core mission of delivering value to our stakeholders." - CEO Carl Bachmann.
