Investor Alert: Kaplan Fox Investigates Potential Securities Fraud At Restaurant Brands NEW YORK, Jan. 19, 2021

NEW YORK, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer LLP (www.kaplanfox.com) is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Restaurant Brands International, Inc. ("Restaurant Brands" or the "Company") (NYSE: QSR). A complaint has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased Restaurant Brands common stock between April 29, 2019 and October 28, 2019 (the "Class Period").

On April 29, 2019 Restaurant Brands filed its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, including a 0.5% system-wide year-over-year sales growth for Tim Hortons. The Company also assured investors that its "Winning Together Plan" and "Tims Rewards" loyalty program were achieving positive results.

On August 12 and September 5, 2019, the Company completed stock offerings at $72.50 per share and $75.10 per share, allegedly resulting in proceeds of about $3 billion to insiders.

On October 29, 2019, the truth about the Company's Winning Together Plan and Tims Rewards loyalty program was allegedly revealed when the Company announced disappointing financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, including a 0.1% system-wide year-over-year sales decline for Tim Hortons. Following this news, Restaurant Brands common stock declined $2.59 per share, about 4%, to close at $65.86 on October 28, 2019.
