This Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) amends and supplements Items 4 and 7 of the Statement on Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on June 5, 2006 (the “Original Schedule 13D”). This Amendment No. 1 to the Original Schedule 13D relates to shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Back Yard Burgers, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). The address of the Issuer’s principal executive offices is 1657 N. Shelby Oaks Drive, N. Suite 105, Memphis, Tennessee 38134.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following thereto:

At the invitation of the Issuer’s Chairman, on July 27, 2006, Mr. Zeising and C. Stephen Lynn, another member of BBAC’s Board of Managers, met with the Issuer’s Board of Directors to discuss the possibility of a potential acquisition of the Issuer by BBAC in a negotiated transaction. During the course of several weeks following this meeting, the Reporting Persons were unable to enter into a confidentiality agreement with the Issuer as a preliminary step in connection with a possible negotiated transaction to acquire the Issuer.

On August 24, 2006, Mr. Zeising, on behalf of BBAC and Cherokee, presented a fourth letter to the Issuer’s Board of Directors submitting a proposal by BBAC to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock not currently owned by the Reporting Persons for a purchase price of $6.10 per share of Common Stock, payable in cash (the “Fourth Proposal Letter”). The proposed transaction would be structured as a merger of a wholly owned subsidiary of BBAC with and into the Issuer with the existing stockholders of the Issuer (other than the Reporting Persons) receiving cash in exchange for their shares of Common Stock. Enclosed with the Fourth Proposal Letter was a form of Confidentiality Agreement that BBAC would be prepared to enter into with the Issuer (the “Proposed Confidentiality Agreement”). The Fourth Proposal Letter is attached hereto as Exhibit G and the Proposed Confidentiality Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit H.

Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

Item 7 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following exhibits:

 

Exhibit G:   

Fourth  Proposal  Letter.

Exhibit H:    Proposed  Confidentiality  Agreement.

 


SIGNATURE

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this Amendment No. 1 is true, complete and correct.
