A&W Food Services of Canada Inc. is a privately owned company that franchises A&W restaurants across Canada. The majority of shareholders are current and former management. A&W franchises all its restaurants to independent franchisees, except for 10 restaurants that are operated corporately, all of which are in the Ottawa market.
Food Services also markets A&W Root Beer in cans and bottles to the retail grocery trade, through an independent bottler licensed to manufacture and distribute the products. The Fund is a limited purpose trust established to invest in A&W Trade Marks Inc., which indirectly owns the A&W trademarks used in the A&W quick service restaurant business in Canada.
Trade Marks licences these trademarks to A&W Food Services of Canada Inc. in exchange for a royalty of 3 percent of the sales of the restaurants in the Royalty Pool. This structure makes the A&W Revenue Royalties Income Fund a “top-line” fund because income is based solely on the sales of A&W restaurants minus the Fund’s and Trade Marks’ minimal operating expenses, interest on Trade Marks’ term debt, and income taxes.
