Although EBITDA is not a measure of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (&#34;GAAP&#34;), the Company believes the use of this non-GAAP financial measure enhances an overall understanding of the Company&#8217;s past financial performance, as well as providing useful information to investors because of its historical use by the Company as both a performance measure and measure of liquidity.  In addition, EBITDA is used by virtually all companies in the restaurant sector as a measure of both performance and liquidity.</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:8pt;margin-top:8pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">This information is intended to be furnished under this Item 2.02 of Form 8-K and shall not be deemed &#8220;filed&#8221;
