TRAVERSE CITY, Mich., Jan. 25, 2017 -- Bagger Dave's Burger Tavern, Inc. (expected to be OTCQX: BAGR) ("BAGR" or the "Company"), owner and operator of 18 Bagger Dave's restaurants in Indiana, Michigan and Ohio, today announced an update on the recent spinoff from Diversified Restaurant Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:SAUC) (“DRH”).

The 1-for-1 distribution of BAGR shares occurred on December 25, 2016 for DRH shareholders of record on December 19, 2016.  The request for the stock symbol “BAGR” has been made with Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and the application to trade on the Over-the-Counter market (“OTCQX”) was also submitted.

Michael Ansley, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of BAGR, commented “The spinoff and the distribution of the shares has been successfully completed.  As an independent business, we can focus exclusively on the Bagger Dave’s concept and drive customer awareness and satisfaction.  We are excited to be in the home stretch to have BAGR shares traded on the OTCQX.  I would like to thank our employees and shareholders for their patience through the process.”

The shares of BAGR will begin to trade on the OTCQX market place once clearance is received from FINRA for Spartan Securities to make a market for BAGR stock.  This process is expected to be completed within the next few weeks.
