This Statement amends 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 ("Brue"),
Michael J. Dressell ("Dressell"), David T. Austin ("Austin"), and Steven P.
Schonberg (collectively with Brue, Dressell and Austin, the "Reporting Persons")
with respect to their beneficial ownership of shares of common stock, without
par value (the "Common Stock"), of Quality Dining, Inc., an Indiana corporation
(the "Company"). Except as otherwise provided herein, capitalized terms used in
this Statement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D
prior to this amendment.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
----------------------
On September 3, 1997, Brue and Dressell (collectively, the
"Holders") entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the "Exchange Agreement")
with the Company and Bruegger's Corporation, a Delaware corporation and
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Bruegger's"). The transactions
contemplated by the Exchange Agreement were consummated on October 20, 1997 (the
"Closing"). In connection with the Closing, Brue and Dressell exchanged
4,310,740 shares of Common Stock owned by them for all of the issued and
outstanding shares of capital stock of Bruegger's and Bruegger's repaid an
aggregate of approximately $16 million of intercompany indebtedness owed by
Bruegger's to the Company and Bruegger's issued to the Company a subordinated
promissory note in the original principal amount of $10 million (the
"Subordinated Promissory Note"), which bears interest at the rate of 12% per
annum and matures and becomes payable on October 20, 2004. In addition, on
October 20, 1997, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of
September 3, 1997 (the "Subsidiaries Merger Agreement"), among the Company,
Bagel Disposition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company ("BDC") and LETHE LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company established by the Holders and certain of their affiliates ("LETHE"),
BDC merged with and into LETHE (the "Merger"). Pursuant to the Subsidiaries
Merger Agreement, prior to the Merger, Best Bagels, Inc., Bagel Acquisition
Corporation, Mohold Franchise Corporation and Mohold, Inc., each a subsidiary of
the Company engaged in the Bagel Business, merged with and into BDC so that,
pursuant to the Merger, LETHE acquired and succeeded to the respective business
of each of such companies. In consideration of the Merger, LETHE paid to the
Company an aggregate of $4 million in cash.
Brue, Dressell and Austin resigned from the Board of Directors
of the Company effective October 20, 1997
Except as amended hereby, the Schedule 13D as in effect prior
to this amendment remains unchanged.
