American Marconi Wireless News - Diveroli Investment Group Files Schedule 13D, Endorses Strategic Turnaround Path for Noodles & Company

Earlier this week, Galloway Capital Partners filed its own 13D, reinforcing conviction in the turnaround path ahead. Galloway's track record includes their activist role in the Regis recapitalization, where decisive deleveraging and refranchising cut over $80 million of debt and was followed by a significant appreciation in share price. That same playbook - sell stores, reduce debt, and reset the capital structure - applies directly to the opportunity at Noodles & Company.

A sale of roughly 200 corporate-owned restaurants could generate approximately $60 million in proceeds, allowing the company to pay down a substantial portion of its high-interest debt. As noted in filings and shareholder communications, Noodles currently pays roughly 9-10% interest on its debt, implying meaningful accretion should refinancing occur following deleveraging.

"We're pleased to see management is rolling up their sleeves," said DIG COO Jonathan Berney. "Our view is simple: a focused store-sale program paired with refinancing could meaningfully strengthen the balance sheet, improve market confidence, and position the equity for greater value realization. The blueprint already exists."

DIG intends to make its full analysis publicly available and may take further steps consistent with its rights as a shareholder. The firm remains open to a constructive, data-driven dialogue with management and the board, with the shared objective of supporting strategic actions that enhance financial stability and create long-term value for all Noodles & Company shareholders.
