This Statement amends and supplements the respective Statements
on Schedule 13D, as amended (collectively, the "Schedule 13D") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") by each of Nordahl L.
Brue, Michael J. Dressell, Steven P. Schonberg and David T. Austin with respect
to their beneficial ownership of the common stock, without par value (the
"Common Stock"), of Quality Dining, Inc., an Indiana corporation (the
"Company"). For purposes hereof, Messrs. Brue, Dressell, Schonberg and Austin
are referred to collectively as the "Reporting Persons". Except as otherwise
provided herein, capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in
the Schedule 13D prior to this amendment.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
As previously described in the Schedule 13D, the Reporting
Persons have been discussing with the Company and third parties alternatives for
effecting the separation of the Company's business of owning and franchising
Bruegger's Bagel Bakery (the "Bagel Business") from the non-bagel operations of
the Company, including the possibility of Messrs. Brue and Dressell acquiring,
or causing one or more of their affiliates to acquire, the Bagel Business. The
Reporting Persons, the Company and their respective advisors have been engaging
in negotiations with respect to such possible acquisition by Messrs. Brue and
Dressell. The transaction currently subject to negotiation would involve a
split-off pursuant to which the Company would redeem all or a substantial
portion of the shares of the Company's Common Stock owned by Messrs. Brue and
Dressell in exchange for all of the capital stock of Bruegger's Corporation
("Bruegger's") which, together with its subsidiaries, would be the owner of the
Bagel Business. Although the financial and other terms of the transaction,
including the nature and extent of liabilities to be assumed by Bruegger's, have
not yet been agreed upon, it is contemplated that, in connection with such
transaction, Bruegger's would repay certain currently outstanding intercompany
debt owed to the Company and would issue to the Company a subordinated
promissory note. There can be no assurance that Messrs. Brue and Dressell and
the Company will enter into an agreement in principle or definitive agreements
with respect to such a transaction and, if so, whether the transactions
contemplated thereby will be consummated. The Reporting Persons' future course
of action will be influenced by the Company's willingness to negotiate and agree
upon specific terms of the transaction that is currently the subject of
negotiations.
Except as amended hereby, Item 4 of the Schedule 13D prior to
this amendment remains unchanged.
The Reporting Persons reserve the right to change their plans or
intentions at any time.
