Recent Developments
     On May 15, 2009, Marcus E. Jundt, our Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, resigned as an officer and as a director of our company.
     Effective May 15, 2009, Mark Bartholomay, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer, began serving as our interim President and Chief Executive Officer, until a permanent successor to Mr. Jundt has been identified and appointed. Our Nominating Committee has commenced a search for qualified candidates. Mr. Bartholomay has served as our Chief Operating Officer since November 2008, and prior to that was our Senior Vice President of Development since May 2007. Mr. Bartholomay has over 12 years of experience in real estate development, construction, prototype design, operations, and finance. Mr. Bartholomay served as the Founder and Senior Partner of GBG Consulting, LLC, a private restaurant consulting firm from July 2005 until May 2007. From July 2000 to June 2005, he served as Vice President of Business Development at Famous Dave’s of America, Inc., a publicly traded owner, operator, and franchisor of restaurants. Prior to that, Mr. Bartholomay served as Senior Vice President of International Development and Operations at Rainforest Cafe, Inc., a publicly traded restaurant company.
