Item 14.    Indemnification of officers and directors
 
Under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant has broad powers to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities they may incur in such capacities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
 
The Registrant’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws include provisions to (i) eliminate the personal liability of its directors and officers for monetary damages resulting from breaches of their fiduciary duty to the extent permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law of Delaware (the “Delaware Law”) and (ii) require the Registrant to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware Law, including circumstances in which indemnification is otherwise discretionary. Pursuant to Section 145 of the Delaware Law, a corporation generally has the power to indemnify its present and former directors, officers, employees and agents against expenses incurred by them in connection with any suit to which they are or are threatened to be made, a party by reason of their serving in such positions so long as they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and with respect to any criminal action, they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. The Registrant believes that these provisions are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. These provisions do not eliminate the directors’ duty of care, and, in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief will remain available under Delaware Law. In addition, each director will continue to be subject to liability for breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Registrant, for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct, for knowing violations of law, for acts or omissions that the director believes to be contrary to the best interests of the Registrant or its stockholders, for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit, for acts or omissions involving a reckless disregard for the director’s duty to the Registrant or its stockholders when the director was aware or should have been aware of a risk of serious injury to the Registrant or its stockholders, for acts or omissions that constitute an unexcused

II-1


pattern of inattention that amounts to an abdication of the director’s duty to the Registrant or its stockholders, for improper transactions between the director and the Registrant and for improper distributions to stockholders and loans to directors and officers. The provision also does not affect a director’s responsibilities under any other law, such as the federal securities law or state or federal environmental laws.
 
The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with certain directors and executive officers and intends to enter into indemnification agreements with all of its other directors and executive officers prior to the consummation of the offering. Under these agreements, the Registrant will indemnify its directors and executive officers against amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with actual or threatened proceedings if any of them may be made a party because of their role as a director or officer. The Registrant is obligated to pay these amounts only if the officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the Registrant’s best interests. For any criminal proceedings, the Registrant is obligated to pay these amounts only if the officer or director had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The indemnification agreements also set forth procedures that will apply in the event of a claim for indemnification thereunder.
 
At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a director or officer of the Registrant as to which indemnification is being sought nor is the Registrant aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any officer or director.
 
The Registrant intends to apply for an insurance policy covering the officers and directors of the Registrant with respect to certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act or otherwise.
 
Reference is made to the indemnification and contribution provisions of the Underwriting Agreement filed as an exhibit to this Registration Statement.
 
Item 15.    Recent sales of unregistered securities
 
Sales of Securities by Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc.
 
None of the following sales of securities utilized any form of general advertisement or general solicitation.
 
1.    On January 17, 2001, the Registrant issued 345 shares of its common stock to Red Robin International, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“RRI”), in exchange for $1,000 in cash. The sale and issuance of the securities described in this paragraph were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by reason of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as a transaction not involving a public offering.
 
2.    On August 9, 2001, the Registrant effected a corporate reorganization (the “Reorganization”) in the form of a merger pursuant to which RRI became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant. Pursuant to the Reorganization, each previously issued and outstanding share of common stock of the Registrant was cancelled and retired, and each outstanding share of common stock of RRI was converted into an equal number of shares of the common stock of the Registrant. The total number of shares of common stock of the Registrant issued in connection with the Reorganization was 10,090,311. The issuance of securities described in this paragraph was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by reason of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as a transaction not involving a public offering.
 
3.    On the effective date of the Reorganization, the Registrant assumed all obligations of RRI under outstanding options that had previously been issued by RRI pursuant to RRI’s 1990 Stock Option Plan (the “1990 Plan”), 1996 Stock Option Plan (the “1996 Plan”) and 2000 Management Performance Common Stock Option Plan (the “2000 Plan”). Options to purchase an aggregate of 1,407,190 shares of RRI common stock were automatically converted into options to purchase a like number of shares of the Registrant’s common stock. RRI had initially granted these options at exercise prices ranging from $5.80 to $7.25 per share to key employees, officers and directors of RRI. The vesting of all options granted pursuant to the 1990 Plan and the 1996 Plan were fully vested and exercisable prior to the Reorganization. The vesting of a majority of the options granted pursuant to the 2000 Plan occurred over a three-year period, with 50% vesting on the second anniversary of the

II-2


grant date and the remainder on the third anniversary of the grant date. Vesting of the remainder of the options granted pursuant to the 2000 Plan either (a) is dependent upon the Registrant meeting certain performance targets, or (b) occurs over a period of time ranging from immediately to seven years following their respective dates of grant. The grant of these stock options was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Rule 701 under the Securities Act for securities sold pursuant to certain compensatory benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation. Alternatively, the grant of securities described in this paragraph was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by reason of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as a transaction not involving a public offering.
 
4.    Following the Reorganization, the Registrant granted options to purchase an aggregate of 113,903 shares of common stock pursuant to the 2000 Plan. A majority of these options vest over a three-year period, with 50% vesting on the second anniversary of the grant date and the remainder on the third anniversary of the grant date. Vesting of the remainder of these options either (a) is dependent upon the Registrant meeting certain performance targets, or (b) occurs over a period of time ranging from immediately to four years following their respective dates of grant. The grant of these stock options was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Rule 701 under the Securities Act for securities sold pursuant to certain compensatory benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation. Alternatively, the grant of securities described in this paragraph was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by reason of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as a transaction not involving a public offering.

6.    On April 25, 2002, the Registrant sold 517,241 shares of its common stock to Mike Snyder, the chief executive officer of the Registrant, upon the exercise of stock options. Mr. Snyder paid the exercise price for the stock options to the Registrant in the form of a full recourse promissory note in the principal amount of $3.0 million. The sale and issuance of securities described in this paragraph were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Rule 701 under the Securities Act for securities sold pursuant to certain compensatory benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation.

Item 17.    Undertakings
 
The Registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriter at the closing specified in the underwriting agreements certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
 
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:
 
(1)    For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this Registration Statement as of the time it was declared effective.
 
(2)    For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
