Sadot LLC Achieves $9.9 Million
Net Income Threshold, Triggers Nomination of Final Three Board
Positions
Sadot LLC Contributed Total of
$418 Million in Revenue
Fort Worth, Texas, June 8, 2023 --
InvestorsHub NewsWire -- Muscle Maker, Inc. (MMI), the
"Company" (Nasdaq: GRIL), today announced its Sadot LLC subsidiary
has crossed the key net income milestone of $9.9 Million allowing
the nomination of the final three new board of director
members.
As
disclosed in an 8K filing on November 18, 2022, MMI and its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Sadot LLC, entered into a service
agreement whereby Sadot engaged Aggia LLC FZ to perform services
related to the purchase of and sale of physical food
commodities. Upon Sadot generating certain net income
targets, Aggia has the right to nominate up to eight directors and
would be issued shares of common stock. Based on successfully
meeting previous income targets, Aggia has already appointed five
Directors to the MMI board. By crossing the $9.9
million threshold, Aggia has the right to nominate three final
candidates to the MMI board of directors. Once the three
nominations are approved, Aggia will have appointed all eight board
members as per the service agreement, bringing the current size of
the MMI board of directors to 15. The complete Aggia
agreements can be viewed in our 8K filing
posted on November 18, 2022.
MMI
CEO, Michael Roper, said "We are in the final stages of approving
the three new nominees and look forward to announcing their joining
the MMI board of directors shortly. Investors should keep in
mind that the addition of these new Board members is a reflection
of Sadot's growing profitability. We are excited to be adding
new Board members who can bring a wealth of knowledge and
experience to support our new global food supply chain strategy,
Sadot LLC and MMI overall."

About Muscle Maker,
Inc.
In late
2022, MMI began its evolution from a consumer-focused, U.S.
restaurant business into a global, food-focused organization with
two distinct business units:
Sadot LLC
MMI's
largest operating unit is its newly-created subsidiary, Sadot LLC.
Sadot is an international agri-foods company engaged in trading and
shipping food (and feed) commodities such as soybean meal, wheat
and corn. Sadot was formed in partnership with Aggia LLC FZ, a
Dubai based, international consulting firm that provides services
to companies operating in the global food supply chain.
MMI Restaurant Group
MMI's
legacy business is our limited collection of 50+ restaurants,
including Pokémoto Hawaiian Poké & Boba Tea and Muscle Maker
Grill, and our subscription, fresh-prep meal service, Superfit
Foods, with 30+ points of distribution plus in-home and national
delivery. All three concepts compete in the growing
healthier-for-you segment. National franchise development of the
Pokémoto concept is the key growth driver with more than 50
franchise units already in the 2023 pipeline.
MMI
continues to grow in size, diversity of operations, as well as in
human and financial capital, but the principles that guided the
Company remain the same – sourcing and providing healthier foods.
