Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Reference is made to the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement entered into by Kona Grill, Inc. (the “Company”) and further described under Item 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Agreement”). The disclosure contained in Item 2.03 is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 1.01.

Item 2.03   Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On March 6, 2009, the Company entered into the Agreement with certain accredited investors whereby the Company sold $1.2 million aggregate principal amount of 10% unsecured subordinated notes (“Notes”) and warrants (“Warrants”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”). The Notes were sold to accredited investors pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Notes, the Warrants, and the securities issuable upon exercise of the Warrants have not been registered under the Securities Act, and may not be sold, offered for sale, assigned, transferred, or otherwise disposed of, absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act.

The principal and accrued interest outstanding under the Notes shall be due and payable upon the earlier of (i) September 2, 2009 or (ii) the closing of any offering of equity securities by the Company generating gross proceeds to the Company of at least $2.5 million. Interest on the Notes is payable on the last day of each month, commencing on April 30, 2009. The Company may prepay the principal and accrued interest outstanding under the Notes at anytime without penalty. The interest rate on the Notes will increase to 16% if the Notes are outstanding after maturity or upon any other event of default as specified in the Agreement.

For each $100,000 issued in Notes, the Company issued to the noteholder three-year warrants to purchase 10,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an aggregate exercise price per share of $2.29, which was equal to 120% of the five-day average of the closing price of the Company’s common stock during the five trading days prior to the date of issuance.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to supplement the Company’s operating cash flows and fund capital expenditure requirements.

As part of the Agreement, as soon as reasonably practicable after filing with the SEC of the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company will file with the SEC a registration statement to commence a rights offering with targeted gross proceeds to the Company of at least $2.5 million (the “Rights Offering”) pursuant to which each stockholder of the Company will have the right to purchase, at a per share subscription price to be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors or a committee thereof (which subscription price shall reflect a discount to the market price of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of determination of such price by the Company’s Board of Directors or a committee thereof), a number of shares of Common Stock for each share of Common Stock held as of the record date for the Rights Offering. The terms of the Rights Offering shall provide that any shares of the Company’s Common Stock that are not subscribed for in the Rights Offering shall be offered to the investors of the Notes on a pro rata basis based on the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding and at the same subscription price as offered to the existing stockholders in the Rights Offering.

The Company issued the Notes and Warrants described above to the investors in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering. The Notes, Warrants, and shares issued upon exercise of the Warrants will bear a restrictive legend permitting the transfer only in compliance with applicable securities laws. The investors in the private offering represented to the Company their intention to acquire the securities for investment purposes only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof. All investors had adequate access, through reports filed by the Company with the SEC or through other access to information provided by the Company, to information about the Company.

The description of the material terms of the Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 10.21, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit.

The Company issued a press release dated March 6, 2009 announcing the transaction covered by the Agreement. A copy of the release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
