Item 8.01 Other Events

     On October 4, 2005, the same day that Fox & Hound Restaurant Group (the "Company") made a public disclosure of its execution of a letter of intent (the "Letter of Intent") with Levine Leichtman Capital Partners ("LLCP") for the acquisition of the Company's outstanding common stock, Primavera Investors, LLC ("Primavera") filed a Class Action Complaint (the "Complaint") in the Delaware Court of Chancery sitting in New Castle County against the Company; Steven M. Johnson, the Company's director and Chief Executive Officer; Gary M. Judd, the Company's director and President; James K. Zielke, the Company's director and Chief Financial Officer and Secretary; Dennis L. Thompson, C. Wells Hall, III, E. Gene Street, John D. Harkey, Jr., Nestor R. Weigand, Jr., and James T. Morton, all directors of the Company; and LLCP.

     The Complaint, brought on behalf of Primavera and all of the Company's public common stockholders, other than the individual defendants and their immediate family members, alleges that the transaction contemplated in the public disclosure of the Letter of Intent would injure the plaintiffs. In particular, the Complaint alleges that the consideration proposed to be paid to the Company's stockholders would be unfair and inadequate and would result in the Company's senior management benefiting at the expense of the Company's stockholders. The Complaint alleges that the Company's directors have failed to make an informed decision, and have breached their fiduciary duty owed to the Company's stockholders by failing to appropriately evaluate the Company's net worth, obtain the best value for the Company's stockholders, act independently to protect the Company's stockholders, and ensure that no conflicts of interest exist or any conflicts are resolved in the best interest of the Company's stockholders.

     In the Complaint, Primavera seeks to preliminarily and permanently enjoin the defendants from engaging in the transaction proposed by the Letter of Intent, obtain an award for the damages to the Company's public stockholders, require the defendants to account for profits or special benefits, and award the plaintiffs their costs and attorneys' fees.
