Item 5.02. Departure of Directors of Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On March 27, 2017, Mr. James Rand provided notice that he would resign as a Class I member of the board of directors (the “Board”) of Noodles & Company (the “Company”, “we”, “us” and “our”), as well as from the Audit Committee of the Board, effective as of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement (as defined below). On the same date, Ms. Johanna Murphy informed us that she would not stand for re-election as a director at our 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Mr. Rand and Ms. Murphy’s decisions to resign and not stand for re-election, respectively, were not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter related to its operations, policies or practices.

As previously announced in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 13, 2017, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with Mill Road Capital II, L.P. (“Mill Road”), pursuant to which we agreed, in return for aggregate gross proceeds to us of $31.5 million, to issue Mill Road an aggregate of 8,873,240 shares of our Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share.
