ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS AND REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE
American Restaurant Group, Inc. (the "Company") intends to launch an offer to
purchase up to $16 million of the Company's 11 1/2% Senior Secured Notes due
2003 (the "11 1/2% Notes"). The purchase price of the 11 1/2% Notes will be par,
plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, and including, the date of
purchase. Holders of the 11 1/2% Notes are expected to have until 5:00 p.m., New
York City time on December 20, 2000 to tender their 11 1/2% Notes for purchase,
and the purchase of the 11 1/2% Notes is expected to close by the Company's
fiscal year end on December 25, 2000. In the event that more than $16,000,000 in
principal amount of 11 1/2% Notes are validly tendered (and not withdrawn), the
Company intends to accept 11 1/2% Notes for purchases on a pro rata basis (with
appropriate adjustments to avoid purchases of the 11 1/2% Notes in a principal
amount other than an integral of $1,000).
