Item 5.02. Departure of Directors of Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
As previously announced in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Noodles & Company (the “Company”) on March 28, 2017, Ms. Johanna Murphy informed the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) that she would not stand for re-election as a Class I director at the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which is when her current term expires. In connection with the expiration of Ms. Murphy’s current term at the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Board nominated Mr. Robert Hartnett to stand for election as a Class I director at the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. As a result, on April 7, 2017, Mr. Hartnett notified the Board of his intention to resign as a Class III director, effective and contingent upon his election at the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders as a Class I director. Mr. Hartnett’s decision to resign as a Class III director is solely to facilitate his election as a Class I director at the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders in accordance with the Company’s governing documents and is not a result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.
