PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The following summary does not contain all of the information that may be important to
purchasers of our common stock. Prospective purchasers of common stock should carefully review the
detailed information and financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in
or incorporated by reference into this prospectus.
The Company
Overview
Kona Grill restaurants offer freshly prepared food, personalized service, and a contemporary
ambiance that create an exceptional, yet affordable dining experience that we believe exceeds many
traditional casual dining restaurants with whom we compete. Our high-volume upscale casual
restaurants feature a diverse selection of mainstream American dishes as well as a variety of
appetizers and entrees with an international influence, including an extensive selection of sushi
items. Our menu items also incorporate over 40 signature sauces and dressings that we make from
scratch, creating broad based appeal for the lifestyle and taste trends of a diverse group of
guests, including everyday diners, couples, larger social groups, families, singles, and
empty-nesters as well as special occasion customers. Our menu is standardized for all of our
restaurants allowing us to deliver consistent, high quality meals.
Our restaurants accommodate approximately 275 guests and are comprised of multiple dining
areas that incorporate modern design elements to create an upscale ambiance that reinforces our
high standards of food and service. Our main dining area, full-service bar, outdoor patio, and
sushi bar provide a choice of atmospheres and a variety of environments designed to appeal and
encourage repeat visits with regular guests. We locate our restaurants in high-activity areas such
as retail centers, shopping malls, urban power dining locations, lifestyle centers, and
entertainment centers that are situated near commercial office space and residential housing to
attract guests throughout the day. Our restaurants are designed to satisfy our guests dining
preferences during lunch, dinner, and non-peak periods such as late afternoon and late night.
We believe that our vast array of offerings and generous portions combined with an estimated
average check per guest during 2006 of approximately $22 offers our guests an attractive
price-value proposition. This value proposition, coupled with our multiple day-part model and
exceptional service, have created an attractive dining experience. Furthermore, our restaurant
model provides us with considerable growth opportunities to develop the Kona Grill concept
nationwide.
Our Competitive Strengths
We believe that the key strengths of our business include the following:
|
|
|
Innovative Menu Selections with Mainstream Appeal. We offer a freshly prepared menu
that combines a diverse selection of mainstream American selections as well as a
variety of appetizers and entrees with an international influence, and award-winning
sushi to appeal to a wide range of tastes, preferences, and price points. We prepare
our dishes from original recipes with generous portions and creative and appealing
presentations that adhere to standards that we believe are much closer to fine dining
than typical casual dining. |
|
|
|
|
Distinctive Upscale Casual Dining Experience. Our upscale casual dining concept
captures some of the best elements of fine dining including a variety of exceptional
food, impeccable service, and an extensive wine and drink list, and combines them with
more casual qualities, like a broad menu with attractive price points and a choice of
environments to fit any dining occasion, enabling us to attract a broad guest
demographic. Our innovative menu, personalized service, and contemporary restaurant
design blend together to create our upscale casual dining experience. |
|
|
|
|
Personalized Guest Service. Our commitment to provide prompt, friendly, and
efficient service enhances our food, reinforces our upscale ambiance, and helps
distinguish us from other traditional casual dining restaurants. |
1
|
|
|
Multiple Daypart Model. Our appetizers, pizzas, entrees, and sushi offerings
provide a flexible selection of items that can be ordered individually or shared by our
guests, allowing them to dine with us during traditional lunch and dinner meal periods
as well as in between customary dining periods such as in the late afternoon and late
night. |
|
|
|
|
Attractive Unit Economics. During 2006, the average unit volume of our nine
restaurants open for at least 12 months was $4.8 million, or $678 per square foot. We
believe our high average unit volume helps us attract high-quality employees, leverage
our fixed costs, and makes us a desirable tenant for landlords. We expect the average
cash investment for our new restaurants to be approximately $2.5 million, net of
landlord tenant improvement allowances and excluding preopening expense. Our
restaurant cash flow provides us the prospect of strong financial returns on this
investment. |
Growth Strategy
We believe that there are significant opportunities to grow our sales, our concept, and our
brand throughout the United States. The following sets forth the key elements of our growth
strategy.
|
|
|
Pursue disciplined new restaurant growth. We adhere to a disciplined site selection
process and intend to continue expanding Kona Grill restaurants in both new and
existing markets that meet our demographic, site location, and return on investment
criteria. Over the next several years, we plan to open the majority of our restaurants
in new markets to continue to build awareness of our concept and to establish Kona
Grill as a national upscale casual brand. |
|
|
|
|
Grow existing restaurant sales. Our goal for existing restaurants is to improve our
unit volumes through ongoing local marketing efforts designed to generate awareness and
trial of our concept and increase the frequency of guest visits. |
|
|
|
|
Leverage depth of existing corporate infrastructure. As we continue to realize the
benefits of our growth, we believe that we will be able to leverage our investments in
corporate infrastructure and generate improving financial results as our sales
increase. |
November 2007 Private Offering
During November 2007, we completed a private offering of 650,000 shares of our common stock.
We received gross proceeds of approximately $10.6 million from the offering and plan to use the net
proceeds of the private offering to fund new restaurant development and for general corporate
purposes. We issued shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $16.25 per share in the
private offering to the selling stockholders listed on page 4 of this prospectus (except for
William Blair & Company L.L.C.), all of whom were accredited investors. We are registering for
resale all of the 650,000 shares that were sold in the private offering to the selling
stockholders, as well as 300,000 shares held by William Blair & Company L.L.C. that were subject to
registration rights.

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if
available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to
participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling
stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the
purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling stockholders do not expect these commissions
and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved. Any profits on
the resale of shares of common stock by a broker-dealer acting as principal might be deemed to be
underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. Discounts, concessions,
commissions, and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the sale of shares will be borne
by a selling stockholder. The selling stockholders may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer, or
broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares if liabilities are
imposed on that person under the Securities Act.
The selling stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or
all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their
secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock
from time to time under this prospectus after we have filed a supplement to this prospectus
supplementing or amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee, or
other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.
The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances,
in which case the transferees, pledgees, or other successors in interest will be the selling
beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus and may sell the shares of common stock from time
to time under this prospectus after we have filed a supplement to this prospectus supplementing or
amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee, or other successors
in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.
The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the
shares of common stock 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 broker-dealers or
agents and any profit on the resale of the shares
6
of common stock purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts
under the Securities Act.
We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares of
common stock. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims,
damages, and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
The selling stockholders have advised us that they have not entered into any agreements,
understandings, or arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of their
shares of common stock, nor is there an underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection
with a proposed sale of shares of common stock by any selling stockholder. If we are notified by
any selling stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer
for the sale of shares of common stock, if required, we will file a supplement to this prospectus.
If the selling stockholders use this prospectus for any sale of the shares of common stock, they
will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
The anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may
apply to sales of our common stock and activities of the selling stockholders.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Amended and Restated Bylaws of
the registrant provide that the registrant will indemnify and advance expenses, to the fullest
extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, to each person who is or was a director
or officer of the registrant, or who serves or served any other enterprise or organization at the
request of the registrant (an Indemnitee).
Under Delaware law, to the extent that an Indemnitee is successful on the merits in defense of
a suit or proceeding brought against him or her by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a
director, officer, or agent of the registrant, or serves or served any other enterprise or
organization at the request of the registrant, the registrant shall indemnify him or her against
expenses (including attorneys fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such
action.
If unsuccessful in defense of a third-party civil suit or a criminal suit, or if such a suit
is settled, an Indemnitee may be indemnified under Delaware law against both (i) expenses,
including attorneys fees, and (ii) judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement if he or she
acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the
best interests of the registrant, and, with respect to any criminal action, had no reasonable cause
to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
If unsuccessful in defense of a suit brought by or in the right of the registrant, where the
suit is settled, an Indemnitee may be indemnified under Delaware law only against expenses
(including attorneys fees) actually and reasonably incurred in the defense or settlement of the
suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or
not opposed to, the best interests of the registrant except that if the Indemnitee is adjudged to
be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his or her duty to the registrant, he
or she cannot be made whole even for expenses unless a court determines that he or she is fully and
reasonably entitled to indemnification for such expenses.
Also under Delaware law, expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending a civil or
criminal action, suit, or proceeding may be paid by the registrant in advance of the final
disposition of the suit, action, or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of
the officer or director to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not
entitled to be indemnified by the registrant. The registrant may also advance expenses incurred by
other employees and agents of the registrant upon such terms and conditions, if any, that the Board
of Directors of the registrant deems appropriate.

Item 17. Undertakings.
A. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the
registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or
in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration
statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered
(if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and
any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in
the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate
offering price set forth in the Calculation of Registration Fee table in the effective
registration statement.
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in
the registration statement;
provided, however, that clauses (1)(i), (1)(ii), and (1)(iii) do not apply if the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports
filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference into the registration
statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of
the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
such post-effective amendment 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.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
B. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrants annual report pursuant
to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
II-2
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plans annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is
incorporated by reference in the registration statement 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.
C. 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.
D. The undersigned 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 of 1933, 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.
II-3
