THCP-backed Byron to be acquired out of administration

More than 50% of Byron's 51 sites will close permanently, and 650 jobs will be lost, leaving 20 restaurants and 551 employees transferring to Calveton, according to a BBC report. Administrator KPMG is understood to have been discussing a potential full or partial takeover of Byron with three interested parties.

Existing investors, including Three Hills Capital Partners, will retain a minority share under the terms of the transaction.
