In addition, we have made forward-looking statements in our filings, and we may make forward-looking statements in future filings, with the SEC, that are incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

Factors that might cause actual events or results to differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements may include matters such as future economic performance, general economic conditions, consumer preferences and spending, costs, competition, new product execution, restaurant openings or closings, operating margins, the availability of acceptable real estate locations, the sufficiency of our cash balances and cash generated from operating and financing activities for our future liquidity and capital resource needs, growth of franchise and licensing, the impact on our business as a result of Federal and/or State legislation including, but not limited to, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and the rules promulgated thereunder, future litigation and other matters, and are generally accompanied by words such as: “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “intends,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “targets,” “expects,” “contemplates” and similar expressions that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the risk factors discussed under “Risk Factors” and matters described in this prospectus generally.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary is not complete and does not contain all of the information you should consider before investing in the securities offered by this prospectus. You should read this summary together with the entire prospectus and the other documents identified under the headings “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference” in this prospectus, including our financial statements, the notes to those financial statements, before making an investment decision. See “Risk Factors” on page 4 and in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2013, which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus, for a discussion of the risks involved in investing in our securities.

Company Overview

Einstein Noah Restaurant Group, Inc. is a Delaware corporation operating primarily under the Einstein Bros. Bagels, Noah’s New York Bagels and Manhattan Bagel Company brands. We commenced operations as an operator and franchisor of coffee cafes in 1993. Substantial growth in our restaurant counts have occurred organically and through a series of acquisitions. Our largest acquisition was in 2001 when we acquired substantially all the assets of Einstein/Noah Bagel Corp. We have also grown by opening company-owned restaurants, working with franchisees on development agreements and promoting the licensing of our brand.

We are the largest owner/operator, franchisor and licensor of bagel specialty restaurants in the United States. As of January 1, 2013, we had 816 restaurants in 39 states and in the District of Columbia. In January 2013, we opened an Einstein Bros. franchise in Montana, our fortieth state. As a leading fast-casual restaurant chain, our restaurants specialize in high-quality foods for breakfast, lunch and afternoon snacks in a bakery-café atmosphere with a neighborhood emphasis. Collectively, our concepts span the nation with Einstein Bros. restaurants, Noah’s restaurants in California and Manhattan Bagel restaurants concentrated in eight states primarily in the Northeast. Currently, our Einstein Bros. and Noah’s are predominantly company-owned or licensed and our Manhattan Bagel restaurants are predominantly franchised.

Our product offerings include fresh-baked bagels and other bakery items baked on-site, made-to-order breakfast and lunch sandwiches on a variety of bagels, breads or wraps, gourmet soups and salads, assorted pastries, premium coffees and an assortment of snacks. Our manufacturing and independent distribution network delivers high-quality ingredients that are delivered fresh to our restaurants. We seek to create an inviting atmosphere which enables us to attract a diverse group of customers, approximately 60% women and 40% men, primarily in the middle to upper-middle income brackets within our breakfast traffic.

We believe that controlling the development, sourcing, manufacturing and distribution of our key products is an important element in ensuring both quality and profitability. To support this strategy, we have developed proprietary recipes, invested in processing technology and manufacturing capacity, and aligned ourselves with strategic suppliers.

We also believe that through franchising and licensing, we are able to increase our geographic footprint and brand recognition. This allows us to generate additional revenues without incurring significant additional expenses, such as those for capital commitments and rents, and avoid many of the other risks associated with opening new company-owned restaurants.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our securities is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks below relating to our common stock and the additional risks relating to our business and our industry under the heading “Risk Factors” beginning on page 10 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2013, filed with the SEC on March 1, 2013, incorporated by reference in this prospectus (which risks may be update, amended or supplemented from time to time in the future by other documents we file with the SEC), the other information in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference before deciding to invest in our securities. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be materially adversely affected, the trading price of our common stock could decline significantly, and you might lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of or that we believe are not material at this time could also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. In any case, the value of our securities could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. You should also refer to our financial statements and the notes to those statements, which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus. For more information, see “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference.”

We have a majority stockholder and are a “controlled company”.

Greenlight beneficially owns approximately 62.0% of our common stock as of March 29, 2013. As a result, Greenlight has sufficient voting power, without the vote of any other stockholders, to determine what matters will be submitted for approval by our stockholders, to elect all of the members of our board of directors, and to determine whether a change in control of the Company occurs. Greenlight’s interests on matters submitted to stockholders may be different from those of other stockholders. Greenlight has voted its shares to elect our current board of directors, and the chairman of our board of directors was an employee of Greenlight until February 2011, when he retired from Greenlight.

We have listed our common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market. NASDAQ rules require us to have an audit committee consisting entirely of independent directors. However, under NASDAQ rules, if a single stockholder holds more than 50% of the voting power of a listed company, that company is considered a “controlled company”, and is exempt from several other corporate governance rules, including the requirement that companies have a majority of independent directors and independent director involvement in the selection of director nominees and in the determination of executive compensation. As a result, our stockholders do not have, and may never have, the protections that these rules are intended to provide. We currently have a majority of independent directors on the board of directors and an audit committee and a compensation committee that each consist entirely of independent directors. We do not have a nominating committee; however, all directors participate in the consideration of director nominees.

Future sales of shares of our common stock by our stockholders could cause our stock price to fall.

If a substantial number of shares of our common stock are sold in the public market, the market price of our common stock could fall. The perception among investors that these sales will occur could also produce this effect. Sales of our common stock by our majority stockholder, Greenlight, or a perception that Greenlight will sell their shares, pursuant to this prospectus or otherwise, could cause a decrease in the market price of our common stock.

A “change of control” of the Company under our credit agreement would require us to amend the credit agreement or obtain a waiver thereunder.

Our credit agreement contains customary provisions regarding an event of default in the event of a “change of control” of the Company, which includes a person or group of related persons (other than Greenlight) acquiring beneficial ownership or voting control over 30% or more of the Company’s outstanding stock. In the event of a transaction pursuant to this offering that resulted in another person or group of related persons acquiring such a position in the Company’s stock, we would be required to obtain such an amendment or waiver from our lenders to avoid an event of default thereunder.

USE OF PROCEEDS

This prospectus relates to the offer and sale from time to time of up to an aggregate of 10,733,469 shares of common stock for the account of the selling shareholders referred to in this prospectus. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling shareholders.

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

The shares of common stock which may be sold by the selling shareholders pursuant to this prospectus consist of an aggregate of 10,733,469 shares held by Greenlight.

Greenlight currently beneficially owns approximately 62.0% of our common stock as of March 29, 2013. As a result, Greenlight has sufficient voting power, without the vote of any other stockholders, to determine what matters will be submitted for approval by our stockholders, to elect all of the members of our board of directors, and to determine whether a change in control of the Company occurs. E. Nelson Heumann is the chairman of our board of directors and retired from Greenlight in February 2011. Greenlight has beneficially owned more than 50% of our common stock since 2003.

The following table sets forth information about the selling shareholders as of March 29, 2013. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and includes voting or investment power with respect to shares of our common stock. The percentages of shares owned before and after the offering are based on 17,305,660 shares of our common stock outstanding as of March 27, 2013, which includes the outstanding shares of common stock offered by this prospectus. The actual number of shares of our common stock covered by this prospectus and included in the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, includes additional shares of our common stock that may be issued with respect to our common stock as a result of stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications, recapitalizations, combinations or similar events. Unless otherwise indicated below, to our knowledge, the selling shareholders have sole voting and investment power with respect to their shares of common stock.

Table of Contents

We do not know when or in what quantities the selling shareholders may offer shares for sale. The selling shareholders might not sell any or all of the shares offered by this prospectus. Because the selling shareholders may offer all or some of the shares pursuant to this offering, and because there are currently no agreements, arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale of any of the shares, we cannot estimate the number of the shares that will be held by the selling shareholders after completion of the offering. For purposes of the table above, however, we have assumed that, after completion of the offering, none of the shares covered by this prospectus will be held by the selling shareholders and that, during the offering, there will be no other sales or purchases of common stock by the selling shareholders.

Any supplement to this prospectus may contain additional or varied information about the selling shareholders and any of their pledgees, donees, assignees, transferees and successors-in-interest who may later hold their shares of common stock other than as a result of a public sale.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling shareholders or any of their pledgees, donees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their common shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in privately negotiated transactions. These sales may be at fixed, negotiated or market prices. The selling shareholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

 

   

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 

   

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

   

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

 

   

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

   

privately negotiated transactions;

 

   

settlement of short sales entered into after the date of this prospectus;

 

   

broker-dealers may agree with the selling shareholder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

 

   

a combination of any such methods of sale;

 

   

through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; or

 

   

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The selling shareholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), if available, rather than under this prospectus. Broker-dealers engaged by the selling shareholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling shareholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, not in excess of customary brokerage commissions.

In connection with the sale of the common stock or interests therein, the selling shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling shareholders may also, on or after the date of this prospectus, sell the common stock short or short against the box and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling shareholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial

Table of Contents

institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The selling shareholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such persons and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. The selling shareholders have informed the Company that currently there are no written or oral agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the shares to be sold hereunder. There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the shares by the selling shareholders at this time. The selling shareholders, however, may enter into one or more agreements with brokers or other agents to facilitate any of the sales methods noted herein.

The shares to be sold hereunder will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the shares to be sold hereunder may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for a period of two business days prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling shareholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of common stock by the selling shareholders or any other person.

Because the selling shareholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling shareholders to the extent required under the Securities Act. We may pay some or all of the fees and expenses incurred incident to the registration of the shares other than underwriting or selling commissions or fees.

LEGAL MATTERS

The validity of the common stock offered by this prospectus will be passed upon for us by Rhonda J. Parish, our Chief Legal, People and Risk Officer. Ms. Parish beneficially owns common stock, options to acquire common stock and restricted stock units in an aggregate amount of less than 1% of our total outstanding shares of common stock.
