1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A amends the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 11, 2005.

 

On August 11, 2005, Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc. (the “Company”) announced the retirement of Michael J. Snyder as the Company’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer following an internal investigation into the use of chartered aircraft and travel and entertainment expenses. In announcing Mr. Snyder’s retirement, the Company also announced that Mr. Snyder would serve as a consultant to the Company.

 

The consulting arrangement with Mr. Snyder is an informal one, and he will not be compensated by the Company for his services. The Company expects that Mr. Snyder will provide only such consulting services as Dennis B. Mullen, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and the board of directors may request. Given Mr. Snyder’s extensive experience and history with the Company and its business, and his significant holdings in Red Robin, the Company’s board of directors believes that continued access to Mr. Snyder will facilitate a smooth and effective management transition.
