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 advocated to the Company that the Company conduct an auction of the Company
and/or its assets in a manner designed to maximize shareholder value and
indicated the intention of Messrs. Brue and Dressell to bid, or cause one or
more of their affiliates to bid, in any such auction of the Company and/or the
Company's business of owning and franchising Bruegger's Bagel Bakery (the "Bagel
Business"). The Company has indicated that it will not commence such an auction
at this time. Consequently, the Reporting Persons, together with their financial
advisor, Gleacher NatWest, are considering what actions, in addition to an
auction of the Company and/or its assets, should be taken to maximize
shareholder value, including ways in which the Bagel Business could be separated
from the non-bagel operations of the Company. The Reporting Persons have been
discussing alternatives for effecting such separation with the Company and third
parties, 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' future course of action will be influenced by the Company's
willingness to consider any proposals that may be made by the Reporting Persons.
Messrs. Brue and Dressell reserve the right to propose to acquire
the Company in a merger transaction or otherwise, and/or to acquire additional
shares of the Company's Common Stock (subject to availability of shares at
prices deemed favorable) in the open market, in privately negotiated
transactions or otherwise; alternatively, the Reporting Persons reserve the
right to dispose of some or all of their shares of the Company's Common Stock in
the open market or in privately negotiated transactions to third parties or
otherwise depending upon the course of action that the Reporting Persons pursue,
market conditions and other factors.
Although the foregoing represents the range of activities presently
contemplated by the Reporting Persons with respect to the Common Stock, it
should be noted that the possible activities of the Reporting Persons are
subject to change at any time. Except as set forth above, the Reporting Persons
have no present plans or intentions which would result in or relate to any of
the transactions required to be described in Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
The Reporting Persons reserve the right to change their plans or
intentions at any time.
