LISTING MEMORANDUM


BURGER KING FRANCE
60,000,000 Floating Rate Senior Secured Notes due 2023

Burger King France, a société par actions simplifiée organized under the laws of France (the "Issuer"), has offered (the "Offering") 60.0 million aggregate principal amount of
temporary floating rate senior secured notes due 2023 (the "Temporary Notes") for the purposes of (i) financing the acquisition by Burger King Restauration, a société par actions simplifiée
organized under the laws of France and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer ("BKRO"), of BDBK, a société par actions simplifiée organized under the laws of France (the "BDBK")
(the "BDBK Acquisition") and (ii) financing the acquisition by BKRO of interests in BK Croissance, BK Développement, BK Expansion, BK Exploitation and Flagship Restauration, each a
société par actions simplifiée organized under the laws of France (collectively, the "Investment Vehicles" and, together with BDBK, the "Targets") (the "Investment Vehicle Acquisitions"
and, together with the BDBK Acquisition, the "Acquisitions"). The Temporary Notes were issued by the Issuer under a temporary indenture (the "Temporary Indenture") dated as of December
19, 2017 (the "Temporary Notes Issue Date") among, inter alios, the Issuer and Citibank, N.A., London Branch, as trustee (the "Temporary Trustee"). On December 21, 2017, the date of the
completion of the BDBK Acquisition (the "BDBK Acquisition Completion Date"), the Temporary Notes were exchanged for an equal aggregate principal amount of additional floating rate
senior secured notes due 2023 (the "Additional Notes") issued by the Issuer under the indenture dated April 21, 2017 (the "Indenture"), among, inter alios, the Issuer, the Guarantors (as
defined below), Citibank, N.A., London Branch as trustee (the "Trustee") and BNP Paribas, as security agent (the "Security Agent"), governing the Issuer's existing 315.0 million 6.00% senior
secured notes due 2024 (the "Existing Fixed Rate Notes") and the Issuer's existing 250.0 million floating rate senior secured notes due 2023 (the "Existing Floating Rate Notes" and,
together with the Existing Fixed Rate Notes, the "Existing Notes"). The Additional Notes have the same terms as the Existing Floating Rate Notes and constitute a single class of debt securities
with the Existing Floating Rate Notes for all purposes under the Indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. The Temporary Notes, the
Additional Notes and the Existing Floating Rate Notes are referred to collectively in this listing memorandum as the "Floating Rate Notes". The Temporary Notes, the Additional Notes and the
Existing Notes are referred to collectively in this listing memorandum as the "Notes".
The Floating Rate Notes bear interest at a rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal to three month EURIBOR (subject to a 0% floor) plus 525 basis points, as determined by the
Calculation Agent and will mature on May 1, 2023. The Issuer will pay interest on the Floating Rate Notes quarterly in arrears on each February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1.
At any time prior to May 1, 2018, the Issuer will be entitled, at its option, to redeem all or a portion of the Floating Rate Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal
amount of the Floating Rate Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional amounts, if any, to the redemption date plus a "make-whole" premium, as described in this listing
memorandum (the "Listing Memorandum"). At any time on or after May 1, 2018, the Issuer may redeem all or part of the Floating Rate Notes at the redemption prices set forth herein. The
Issuer may also redeem all of the Notes upon the occurrence of certain changes in applicable tax law at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding amount of the Notes plus accrued
and unpaid interest and additional amounts, if any. Upon the occurrence of certain events constituting a change of control, each holder of the Notes may require the Issuer to repurchase all or
a portion of its Notes at 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional amounts, if any.
The Additional Notes are general senior obligations of the Issuer, are guaranteed on a senior basis by Burger King Restauration, BK N SAS, BK SE SAS, BK E SAS, BK OU SAS,
BK IDF SAS, Financière Quick SAS, France Quick SAS and Quick Restaurants SA, each a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Issuer (the "Guarantors") (each a "Guarantee" and collectively
the "Guarantees") and rank equally in right of payment to all other existing and future senior obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors, respectively. The Guarantees are subject to certain
limitations as described under "Certain Insolvency Law Considerations and Limitations on the Validity and Enforceability of the Guarantees and the Security Interests" and may be released in
certain circumstances. See "Description of the Notes--Brief Description of the Notes and the Note Guarantees--Release of the Note Guarantees".
The Additional Notes and the Guarantees thereof are secured on a first-priority basis by security interests over the shares of the Issuer and certain other assets of the Issuer and
the Guarantors, as described under "Description of the Notes--Security", which security interests also secure the Existing Notes on a pari passu basis and the Revolving Credit Facility (as
defined below) on a super senior basis pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement (the "Collateral"). In the event of enforcement of the security interests over the Collateral or certain distressed
sales, lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility Agreement and counterparties to certain hedging obligations (if any) are entitled to be repaid with the proceeds from enforcement or such
distressed sale in priority to the Notes. The Guarantees and the security interests in the Collateral are subject to contractual and legal limitations that may materially limit their enforceability,
and the Guarantees may be released under certain circumstances. See "Risk Factors--Risks related to the Notes, the Guarantees and the Collateral" and "Certain Insolvency Law
Considerations and Limitations on the Validity and Enforceability of the Guarantees and the Security Interests".
The Notes are listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and have been admitted for trading on the Euro MTF Market thereof.
Investing in the Notes involves risks. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page 29 for a discussion of certain risks that you should consider in connection with an
investment in the Notes.

Issue price for the Temporary Notes: 101.75% of principal plus accrued interest from, and including, November 2, 2017 to, but excluding, December 19, 2017.
Purchasers of the Temporary Notes were required to pay accrued interest totaling 6.85 per 1,000 principal amount of Temporary Notes, from, and including, November 2, 2017
to, but not including, December 19, 2017.

The Temporary Notes, the Additional Notes and the Guarantees have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S.
Securities Act"), or the laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold within the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject
to, the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act. In the United States, the Offering was made only to "qualified institutional buyers" ("QIBs") in reliance on the exemption
provided by Rule 144A under the U.S. Securities Act ("Rule 144A"). You are hereby notified that the initial purchasers of the Temporary Notes and the Additional Notes may be
relying on the exemption from the provisions of Section 5 of the U.S. Securities Act provided by Rule 144A. Outside the United States, the Offering was made in reliance on
Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act ("Regulation S"). See "Notice to Investors" and "Transfer Restrictions" for additional information about eligible offerees and transfer
restrictions.
The Temporary Notes and the Additional Notes were each issued in minimum denominations of 100,000 and integral multiples of 1,000 in excess thereof. The Temporary Notes
and the Additional Notes were each represented upon issuance by one or more global notes in registered form, which were deposited and registered in the name of a nominee for a common
depositary for Euroclear SA/NV ("Euroclear") and Clearstream Banking, S.A. ("Clearstream") on the Temporary Notes Issue Date (in the case of the Temporary Notes) and on the BDBK
Acquisition Completion Date (in the case of the Additional Notes). See "Book-Entry, Delivery and Form".

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Listing Memorandum contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S.
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and the securities laws of other jurisdictions. In some
cases, these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology,
including the words "believes", "estimates", "aims", "targets", "anticipates", "expects", "intends", "plans",
"continues", "ongoing", "potential", "product", "projects", "guidance", "seeks", "may", "will", "could",
"would", "should" or, in each case, their negative, or other variations or comparable terminology or by
discussions of strategies, plans, objectives, targets, goals, future events or intentions. These
forward-looking statements include matters that are not historical facts. They appear in a number of
places throughout this Listing Memorandum and include statements regarding our intentions, beliefs or
current expectations concerning, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition,
liquidity, prospects, competition in areas of our business, outlook and growth prospects, strategies and
the industry in which we operate.
By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate
to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. We caution you that
forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that our actual results of
operations, financial condition and liquidity and the development of the industry in which we operate
may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in
this Listing Memorandum. In addition, even if our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity,
and the development of the industry in which we operate are consistent with the forward-looking
statements contained in this Listing Memorandum, those results or developments may not be indicative
of results or developments in subsequent periods. Important factors that could cause those material
differences include:
· the impact of competition on our business;
· the significantly greater financial resources of our main competitor;
· the success of converting our existing Quick restaurants to the Burger King brand;
· our dependence on the economic conditions in France;
· the impact of unforeseen events such as adverse weather conditions, natural disasters or
other catastrophic events;
· food safety, food traceability, food borne illness and hygiene-related concerns;
· the impact of unfavorable economic conditions and any global economic downturn;
· the impact of the global economy and the global financial markets;
· the effectiveness of our marketing and advertising programs and franchisee support of
these programs;
· our ability to control franchisees and to implement our strategic initiatives;
· our ability to retain franchisees;
· our ability to successfully implement our restaurant modernization and refurbishment
initiatives;
· the impact of changes in raw material costs, fuel, utilities, distribution and other operating
costs;
· the impact of shortages or interruptions on the availability and delivery of raw materials;
· the impact of higher employment costs;
vii


· the impact of changes in consumer preferences and perceptions;
· our ability to successfully implement our restaurant development and growth strategy;
· the lack of availability of suitable locations for new restaurants or decline in the quality of
the locations of our current restaurants;
· our ability to renew leases or control rent increases at our restaurant locations, or obtain
leases for new restaurants;
· our exposure to risks related to litigation and negative publicity, including litigation with
franchisees;
· our ability to adequately protect our intellectual property;
· the impact of IT system failures or interruptions or breaches of our network security;
· the risk of amplified negative publicity due to the increased use of social media;
· the impact of legislation and regulations requiring more transparency in our business;
· our ability to promote our products to our key target market through media advertising;
· the adoption of new governmental regulations;
· the adoption of new environmental regulations;
· the adequacy of our insurance coverage against claims;
· our reliance on key executives;
· tax risks;
· our ability to deduct all or a portion of the interest on our indebtedness incurred in France;
· the impact of a recently enacted French employment incentive tax credit;
· risks related to our presentation of financial and other information;
· risks related to our indebtedness;
· risks related to the Acquisitions; and
· risks related to the Temporary Notes, the Additional Notes, the Existing Notes, the
Guarantees and the Collateral.
The risks included here are not exhaustive. Moreover, we operate in a highly competitive and
rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to
predict all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors,
may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements as a prediction of actual results.
Elsewhere in this Listing Memorandum, we also present certain run-rate adjustments to
Adjusted EBITDA which model the additional EBITDA we would have generated for the twelve months
ended September 30, 2017 if all of the Burger King restaurants opened or converted from October 1,
2016 to September 30, 2017 had been operational as of October 1, 2016. Such Adjusted Run-rate
EBITDA is not intended to be a projection of future performance and investors should not place undue
reliance thereon. Such information is based on mathematical averages of ARS and certain other
estimates and assumptions which are further described under "Management's Discussion and Analysis
viii


of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Key Performance Indicators--Adjusted Run-rate
EBITDA" and "Presentation of Financial and Other Information".
We urge you to read the sections of this Listing Memorandum entitled "Risk Factors",
