This Amendment No. 4 (this “Amendment”) to the joint statement on Schedule 13D with respect to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Kona Grill, Inc., a Delaware corporation, filed by the undersigned on June 26, 2008 (the “Initial Filing”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 on Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned on November 14, 2008 with respect to the Initial Filing, as amended by Amendment No. 2 on Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned on December 30, 2008 with respect to the Initial Filing, and as amended by Amendment No. 3 on Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned on January 2, 2009 with respect to the Initial Filing (the “Schedule 13D”), amends the Schedule 13D as follows:

 

1.	Item 4 of the Schedule 13D shall hereby be amended and restated in full as follows:

“Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

The Reporting Persons acquired shares of the Common Stock based on their belief that the Common Stock represents an attractive investment opportunity. The Reporting Persons further believe that the Issuer would be better able to realize its full value as a private entity. Accordingly, on March 28, 2008, the Fund transmitted a letter to the Issuer, attached hereto as Exhibit 5, in which it submitted a non-binding offer to acquire all of the Issuer’s capital stock at a cash price of $10.75 per share. The Issuer responded, in a letter to the Fund dated April 18, 2008 and attached hereto as Exhibit 6, indicating that the Fund’s letter had been distributed to the Issuer’s Board of Directors for discussion at its next regularly scheduled meeting. On May 1, 2008, the Issuer orally responded to the Fund, indicating that it was not currently interested in pursuing such transaction. On December 30, 2008, the Fund transmitted a letter to the Issuer, attached hereto as Exhibit 7, concerning further financing for the Issuer. On January 1, 2009, the Fund transmitted a letter to the Issuer, attached hereto as Exhibit 8, concerning a proposal to purchase capital stock of the Issuer.

On January 30, 2009, the Fund transmitted a letter to the Issuer, attached hereto as Exhibit 9, concerning a proposal to purchase capital stock of the Issuer and to fill a vacant Board seat.

The Reporting Persons intend to review continuously their equity interest in the Issuer. Depending upon their evaluation of the factors described below, one or more of the Reporting Persons may from time to time purchase additional securities of the Issuer, dispose of all or a portion of the securities then held by such Reporting Person, or cease buying or selling such securities; any such additional purchases or sales of securities of the Issuer may be in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.

The Reporting Persons may wish to engage in a constructive dialogue with officers, directors and other representatives of the Issuer, as well as the Issuer’s shareholders; topics of discussion may include, but are not limited to, the Issuer’s operations, strategy, leadership, ownership, personnel and capitalization. The Reporting Persons may also enter into confidentiality or similar agreements with the Issuer and, subject to such an agreement or otherwise, exchange information with the Issuer. The factors that the Reporting Persons may consider in evaluating their equity interest in the Issuer’s business include the following: (i) the Issuer’s business and prospects; (ii) the performance of the Common Stock and the availability of the Common Stock for

CUSIP No. 50047H201		Page 8 of 11 Pages

 

purchase at particular price levels; (iii) the availability and nature of opportunities to dispose of the Reporting Persons’ interests; (iv) general economic conditions; (v) stock market conditions; (vi) other business and investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons; and (vii) other plans and requirements of the Reporting Persons.

Depending on their assessment of the foregoing factors, the Reporting Persons may, from time to time, modify their present intention as stated in this Item 4.

Except as set forth above, including the Reporting Persons’ efforts with respect to the Fund’s interest in making an offer to acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Issuer, the Reporting Persons intend to continuously review their options but do not have at this time any specific plans that would result in (a) the acquisition of additional securities of the Issuer or the disposition of securities of the Issuer; (b) any extraordinary corporate transactions such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) any sale or transfer of a material amount of the assets of the Issuer or of any of its subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present management or Board of Directors of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the Issuer’s Board of Directors; (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure; (g) any change in the Issuer’s charter or by-laws that may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (h) the Issuer’s Common Stock being delisted from a national securities exchange or ceasing to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system or a registered national securities association; (i) causing a class of equity securities of the Issuer to become eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; or (j) any action similar to those enumerated above.”

 

2.	Item 5(a) of the Schedule 13D shall hereby be amended and restated in full as follows:

“(a) In the aggregate, the Reporting Persons beneficially own, as of January 30, 2009, 648,171 shares of the Common Stock, representing approximately 10.0% of such class of securities. The Fund, the GP, as the sole general partner of the Fund, and each Manager, as a management committee director of the GP, each beneficially owns, as of January 30, 2009, 648,171 shares of the Common Stock, representing approximately 10.0% of such class of securities. These percentages of beneficial ownership are based on a total of 6,501,870 shares of the Common Stock outstanding as of October 31, 2008, as reported in the most recent quarterly report of the Issuer on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2008.”

 

3.	The first clause of Item 5(c) of the Schedule 13D shall hereby be amended and restated in full as follows:

“No Reporting Person, other than the Fund as set forth in the table below, effected any transaction in shares of the Common Stock from April 17, 2008 (the date 60 days prior to the event which required the initial filing of this statement) to January 30, 2009:”
