Our operations originated in 1972 as a producer and distributor of high-quality cheesecakes and other baked desserts. Our first restaurant opened in Beverly Hills, California in 1978 with the initial intention of promoting the sale of cheesecakes and other baked desserts to other foodservice operators, retailers and distributors.

In February 1992, The Cheesecake Factory Incorporated was incorporated in Delaware to succeed the restaurant and bakery businesses of its predecessors operating under The Cheesecake Factory mark. Our initial public offering of common stock was completed in September 1992.

The initial public offering price of the Company’s common stock was $2.63 adjusted for five three-for-two stock splits.

Follow-on public offerings of common stock were completed in January 1994 and November 1997.
