Attached is the Definitive Proxy Statement for the 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Good Times Restaurants Inc. (“Good Times” or the “Company”) to be held on May 24, 2018 (the “Definitive Proxy Statement”), which contains a proposal to be submitted to the Company’s shareholders to approve an amendment (the “2008 Plan Amendment”) to the Company’s 2008 Omnibus Equity Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2008 Plan”) to allow a one-time stock option exchange program for certain employees and non-employee directors (the “Option Exchange Program”). The Definitive Proxy Statement does not constitute an offer to holders of the Company’s outstanding stock options to exchange those options. The proposed Option Exchange Program will only be commenced, if at all, if the Company’s shareholders approve the proposal to approve the 2008 Plan Amendment.

The Option Exchange Program has not yet commenced. Good Times will file a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, upon the commencement of the Option Exchange Program. Persons who are eligible to participate in the Option Exchange Program should read the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO and other related materials when those materials become available, because they will contain important information about the Option Exchange Program.

    

In connection with the proposal to be voted on by Good Times shareholders with respect to the 2008 Plan Amendment to permit the Option Exchange Program, Good Times has filed the Definitive Proxy Statement with the SEC.  Good Times shareholders are urged to read such materials as and when they become available and before making any voting decision regarding the 2008 Plan Amendment and approval of the Option Exchange Program, because they will contain important information about the proposal to be voted on by shareholders with respect to the Option Exchange Program.

   

Good Times shareholders and option holders will be able to obtain the written materials described above and other documents filed by Good Times with the SEC free of charge from the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. In addition, shareholders and option holders may obtain free copies of the documents filed by Good Times with the SEC by directing a written request to: Good Times Restaurants Inc. 141 Union Boulevard #400, Lakewood, CO 80228, Attention: Investor Relations.
