Explanation of Responses:
1. This grant to Francois Dufresne is exempt from Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), pursuant to Rule 16b-3(d) of the Exchange Act, as the Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") were granted pursuant to a plan approved by the board of directors of Noodles & Company (the "Company").
2. Mr. Dufresne is legally obligated to direct the shares to Argentia Private Investments Inc., which constitute half of Mr. Dufresne's annual compensation for serving as a member of the Company's board of directors. Mr. Dufresne has no direct pecuniary interest in the shares. Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of the Company's Class A common stock, and the RSUs settled in shares of the Company's Class A common stock on the date of the grant.
3. Not applicable.
4. Shares are owned directly by Argentia Private Investments Inc., which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Public Sector Pension Investment Board ("PSPIB"). PSPIB is an indirect beneficial owner of the reported securities.
