Effective November 14, 2011, Crumbs Bake Shop, Inc. (the Company), Crumbs Holdings LLC
(Crumbs), the Companys non-wholly owned subsidiary, and Julian R. Geiger entered into an
Employment Agreement and Securities Grant Agreement, providing for Mr. Geigers employment as the
President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Crumbs and the issuance of certain
securities to him in connection therewith, as described in Item 5.02 hereof. Concurrent with the

Registration Rights Agreement
As of November 14, 2011, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Julian
R. Geiger (the Registration Rights Agreement) pursuant to which Mr. Geiger will be entitled to
certain registration rights for (i) any shares of the Companys common stock, par value $0.0001 per
share (the Common Stock) issued upon the exchange of any New Crumbs Class B Exchangeable Units
(the Class B Exchangeable Units) of Crumbs, and, (ii) upon their issuance pursuant to the terms
of the Securities Grant Agreement (as described in Item 5.02 hereof), any shares of Common Stock
issued or issuable upon the exchange of any contingent Class B Exchangeable Units of Crumbs, held
or beneficially owned by Mr. Geiger (collectively, the Registrable Securities) subject to certain
limitations and to transfer restrictions as described below. Mr. Geiger may issue to the Company a
written request on up to two occasions at any time beginning six months after the date of the
Registration Rights Agreement that the Company effect the registration under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the Securities Act) of all or any portion of the Registrable Securities held by
him. In addition, the Registration Rights Agreement provides unlimited piggyback registration
rights on registration statements.
The registration rights granted in the Registration Rights Agreement are subject to customary
indemnification and contribution provisions, as well as customary restrictions such as minimums,
blackout periods and, if a registration is for an underwritten offering, limitations on the number
of shares to be included in the underwritten offering may be imposed by the managing underwriter.

statements, other than underwriting discounts and commissions attributable to the Registrable
Securities being sold.

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On November 14, 2011, the Company issued a press release reporting its financial results for

Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer
of Listing
The Company notified the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq) by letter dated November 14, 2011,
that it had named Julian R. Geiger, an independent director, to the position of President and Chief
Executive Officer. Upon becoming an executive officer of the Company, Mr. Geiger is no longer
considered an independent director under Nasdaq Corporate Governance Rules. This change in Mr.
Geigers status caused the Company to become noncompliant with Nasdaq Rule 5605(b)(1) which
requires that the Companys Board of Directors be comprised of a majority of independent directors.
On November 15, 2011, Nasdaq issued a formal notice of noncompliance with the Continued Listing
criteria in Rule 5810(b). Nasdaq notified the Company that it had until the earlier of the next
annual shareholders meeting or November 14, 2012 to become compliant with such rule.
2
Concurrently with the Companys notification, the Company also notified Nasdaq that its Board
of Directors has adopted a plan to regain compliance with the Continued Listing requirements. This
plan includes increasing the size of the Board from eight to nine persons, the identification and
review of several potential nominees being considered by the Nominating and Governance Committee
and the Boards plan to appoint such additional independent director as soon as possible, but
expected to be within the next 60 days.
The Company made a public announcement of its noncompliance by issuing a press release on
November 14, 2011, disclosing its notification to Nasdaq as well as its plan to regain compliance.
A copy of the press release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
In connection with the employment of Julian R. Geiger as President and Chief Executive Officer
of the Company and Crumbs pursuant to the Employment Agreement and the Securities Grant Agreement,
both as described in Item 5.02 hereof, Crumbs agreed to issue to Mr. Geiger 799,000 Class B
Exchangeable Units and the Company agreed to issue 79,900 shares of the Companys Series A Voting
Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value (the Series A Preferred Stock), subject to vesting. The
Company and Crumbs also agreed to issue certain contingent securities, as described in Item 5.02
hereof. The securities were issued in a transaction exempt under Section 4(2) from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act. The information set forth in Item 5.02 hereof in the sections
entitled Employment Agreement and Securities Grant Agreement is incorporated herein by
reference.
