Its 8-K filings include financial-result announcements and material-event disclosures related to operating performance, restaurant growth and the company’s consumer packaged goods activity.

GEN Restaurant Group, Inc. (GENK) registered for resale by Roth Principal Investments up to 15,000,000 shares of Class A common stock that GENK may choose to sell to Roth under a committed equity purchase agreement. Separately, GENK may sell shares to Roth for up to $25,000,000 in aggregate gross proceeds, subject to agreement limits; sales may begin only after Commencement, including effectiveness of the registration statement, and GENK has no obligation to sell. GENK receives proceeds from its sales to Roth, not from Roth’s later resales. Expected uses are working capital and general corporate purposes, including possible CPG expansion, restaurant openings or debt repayment.
Purchase prices are based on applicable volume weighted average price (VWAP), less 3.0% for Market Open and Intraday Purchases or 5.0% for Pre-Market and Post-Market Purchases. The 6,776,399-share Exchange Cap may be exceeded only with stockholder approval or if the average price equals or exceeds the Base Price; a separate 4.99% beneficial-ownership limit applies to Roth and its affiliates. The 15,000,000 registered shares equal 205.50% of Class A shares outstanding as of September 29, 2026, when 7,299,135 shares were outstanding. Roth withholds 10% of purchase amounts toward a commitment fee capped at $500,000.

(GENK) entered a stock purchase agreement giving it the option, not an obligation, to sell newly issued Class A common stock to Roth Principal Investments for an aggregate gross purchase price of up to $25,000,000. Sales may occur after the purchase conditions are met, including effectiveness of the resale registration statement, for up to 36 months from its Effective Date.
Nasdaq rules cap issuances at 6,776,399 shares, equal to 19.99% of Class A shares issued and outstanding immediately before signing, including Class A shares issuable upon exchange of issued and outstanding Class B shares. The cap does not apply if stockholders approve excess issuance or the average price paid equals or exceeds the Base Price. A separate 4.99% beneficial-ownership limit applies to Roth Principal Investments and its affiliates.
If shares are sold, GEN currently plans to use net proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes, which may include consumer packaged goods expansion, new restaurants or debt repayment. Roth withholds 10% of each purchase price until aggregate withholdings reach its $500,000 maximum commitment fee. GEN also agreed to an initial total of $150,000 for fees and legal-cost reimbursements, plus up to $7,500 per fiscal quarter for legal fees.

The agent will receive a 3.0% commission on gross proceeds from shares sold, and the company will also reimburse certain related expenses.
