ITEM 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

On May 24, 2007, Red Robin International, Inc. (“RRI”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc. entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Top Robin Ventures, Inc. and Morite of California (collectively, the “Sellers”), for the acquisition of eighteen franchised Red Robin® restaurants (seventeen existing restaurants and one currently under construction) in the state of California.

Subject to the fulfillment of customary conditions precedent, RRI expects to close on the initial acquisition of seventeen of the eighteen restaurants on or about June 17, 2007, and to operate the remaining location under a management agreement to be executed on the closing date. RRI expects to close on the remaining restaurant assuming finalization of an extension of the current lease on acceptable terms with the landlord of the property.

The purchase price for the acquisition is $47.5 million, subject to certain working capital adjustments. Of this amount, approximately $46.5 million will be paid to the Sellers at the first closing, with an additional $1.0 million paid into escrow as security for the Sellers’ indemnification obligations. The Agreement provides for up to an additional $3.0 million purchase price earn-out to be paid to the Sellers assuming the acquired restaurants achieve certain 2007 sales targets. Because first quarter target sales for the acquired restaurants have already been achieved, approximately $1 million of this earn-out will be paid at closing. Remaining earn-out amounts will be paid in quarterly installments based on the level of sales through the rest of the year. The purchase price will be paid in cash, funded through borrowings under RRI’s credit facility.
