INDIANAPOLIS, IN / ACCESS Newswire / January 30, 2025 / Noble Roman's, Inc. (OTCQB:NROM), the Indianapolis based franchisor and licensor of Noble Roman's Pizza and Noble Roman's Craft Pizza & Pub, announced today that the company and Corbel Capital Partners had entered into an agreement to extend the company's senior lending facility by 60 days to April 7, 2025. Both parties recognize it is in the best interest of all equity stakeholders to secure the best possible terms for the financial restructuring of the company, including the repayment of the Corbel loan and the subordinated debt as well as for other company purposes. The company continues to remain in close conversation with interested parties and remains optimistic that such terms are obtainable within the extended timeframe.

The company also announced that the growth of its non-traditional franchising in convenience stores was off to a good start in January, with both new units sold and new units opened. Historically, the first quarter has been slower for convenience store franchise growth since the early winter months are slower periods of business activity for convenience store operators. With the solid start to 2025, the company remains optimistic that it can match or exceed the significant unit growth experienced in 2024.
