On September 20, 2013, Ruby Tuesday, Inc., a Georgia corporation (the “Company”), and James J. Buettgen, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer as well as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), amended Mr. Buettgen’s November 16, 2012, Employment Agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) with the Company.  Amendment No. 1 to Employment Agreement (the “Amendment”) removes the September 20, 2013, deadline for Mr. Buettgen to relocate to the area of the Company’s Restaurant Support Center and instead requires that Mr. Buettgen shall relocate to the area of the Company’s Restaurant Support Center no later than such time as reasonably requested by the Board and agreed to by Mr. Buettgen in good faith.  Consistent with the terms of the Employment Agreement prior to the Amendment, the Amendment further provides that, until his relocation, Mr. Buettgen shall have access to the RT Lodge Carriage House and shall be reimbursed for travel to and from the Company’s Restaurant Support Center in Maryville, Tennessee.

The foregoing summary of the Amendment and its terms is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
