Biglari Holdings Inc.
The company said the purpose of the name change is to more clearly identify the company as
a broad holding company and eliminate confusion between Steak n Shake operations and the broader company.
The company
will hold a shareholder vote on the name change on April 8 in New York. Steak n Shake has reserved the trading symbol "BH,"
and trading will move under that symbol on April 9 if shareholders approve the switch.
In the fourth-quarter, the
company earned $5.5 million, or $3.82 per share, compared with a year-ago loss of $3.4 million, or $2.43 per share. The most
recent quarter contained a $312 million gain on investments.
Revenue rose 13 percent to $147.6 million, from $130.7
million in the same quarter last year.
Shares fell $2.25 to $318.99 in aftermarket trading. The stock closed up
$4.21 to close at $321.24 in the regular session Friday.
