About Amergent Hospitality Group, Inc

Amergent Hospitality Group, Inc. (ticker: AMHG) is a U.S.-based hospitality and restaurant company historically associated with the U.S. public markets and SEC reporting framework, with trading referenced in the NYSE/NASDAQ context. The company was incorporated on February 18, 2020 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Chanticleer Holdings and was spun off on April 1, 2020. Its business address is in Charlotte, North Carolina, United States. The company was formed to continue the restaurant operations previously housed within Chanticleer and its subsidiaries. Operationally, Amergent has been positioned as a small-cap restaurant operator and franchisor. Its SEC filings describe a business centered on owning, operating, and franchising fast casual dining concepts domestically and internationally. Over time, its portfolio has included concepts such as American Burger Company, BGR – Burgers Grilled Right, Little Big Burger, and a Hooters-related gaming venue/activity. For investors, that means the company’s economics have been driven by restaurant-level traffic, same-store demand, labor availability, commodity inflation, occupancy costs, and franchise economics where applicable. In competitive terms, Amergent has been a niche participant rather than a scale leader. Its brand set has been relatively small, its geographic footprint limited, and its bargaining power versus suppliers, landlords, and labor markets modest compared with larger U.S. restaurant groups. That smaller scale can allow focus and flexibility, but it also leaves the business more exposed to volatility in consumer spending and operating margins. In a sector dominated by better-capitalized and better-known restaurant operators, Amergent has not had the balance sheet strength or brand depth of a national leader. The company’s recent history is defined by distress and restructuring. In July 2024, Amergent and certain affiliates filed voluntary Chapter 11 petitions in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas. In 2025, SEC filings indicated continued progress toward a joint Chapter 11 plan of liquidation. That is a major inflection point for equity investors, because it shifts the analysis away from growth and toward asset recovery, creditor outcomes, and the possibility that common equity may have limited residual value depending on the final reorganization or liquidation outcome. For this reason, AMHG should be viewed primarily as a special situations / distressed hospitality case rather than a conventional restaurant growth story. The company remains a U.S. issuer with historical operations in restaurant concepts, but the dominant investment question is the bankruptcy process and what remains of the enterprise value after liabilities, claims, and legal expenses. In short, Amergent Hospitality Group, Inc. is a small U.S. restaurant company with a Charlotte, North Carolina base, a limited brand portfolio, and a recent operating history overshadowed by Chapter 11 proceedings and liquidation risk.
