Burger King to return to NYSE with UK's Justice Holdings The world's second-largest fast food hamburger restaurant chain revealed that its largest shareholder, 3G Capital, will remain a principal shareholder with a 71pc stake. 3G, which paid $3.26bn for its stake in 2010, will also receive about $1.4bn in cash as part of today's deal. Justice shareholders will own 29pc of the combined company. Its shares will be immediately suspended from trading in London. Daniel Schwartz, chief financial officer of Burger King, said: "We believe it is the right time for Burger King to be publicly traded in the US again. With this transaction, we are positioning the Burger King brand for long-term growth both domestically and internationally and are excited to take his next step in delivering on our strategic objectives. David Beckham stars in a new Burger King advert Burger King, founded in 1953 as Insta-Burger King, was first taken public in 2006 by a group of investment firms led by TPG Capital. The deal with 3G four years later saw it removed from the NYSE. Former City minister and Marks & Spencer chairman Lord Myners added: "Justice has been extremely disciplined in considering potential operating businesses since its formation in February 2011. The Burger King transaction offers a number of the key features the Board was looking for in a combination: strong cash flows, an experienced and successful management team, significant strategic growth opportunities and a company that would benefit from Justice's public ownership. The Board voted unanimously in favour of entering into the combination agreement with Burger King Worldwide. We look forward to closing the transaction later this year, once the requirements of the US Securities and Exchange Commission and the New York Stock Exchange are satisfied.
