Noodles & Company is asking stockholders to vote at the May 13, 2026 annual meeting on three items: electing two Class I directors for three-year terms, an advisory vote on executive pay, and ratifying Grant Thornton LLP as auditor for 2026.
The company recently completed a 1‑for‑8 reverse stock split effective February 18, 2026 and reports 5,888,223 Class A shares outstanding as of the March 18, 2026 record date. System‑wide comparable restaurant sales rose 4.1% in fiscal 2025, supported by a major menu upgrade and new value offerings.
CEO Joseph Christina, appointed in August 2025, receives a $550,000 base salary, a target bonus equal to 100% of salary, and time‑based RSU grants, while other named executives receive a mix of salary, annual cash bonuses tied mainly to Adjusted EBITDA, and long‑term RSU/PSU awards based on ambitious stock‑price goals.
Noodles & Company reported upcoming changes to its Board of Directors. On March 24, 2026, directors Robert Hartnett and Mary Egan, both Class I members, notified the board they will not stand for re-election at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and will serve until that meeting. The company stated their decisions were not due to any disagreement with management, the board, or the company’s operations, policies, or practices. In connection with these voluntary departures, the board voted to reduce its size from nine members to seven effective as of the Annual Meeting, which it believes better matches the company’s current size and complexity. To rebalance the three board classes, the board nominated Mr. Lynch to be elected as a Class I director at the Annual Meeting and he agreed to resign as a Class III director if elected.
Noodles & Company reported fourth quarter and full year 2025 results and issued a 2026 outlook.

As of December 30, 2025 it had $1.3 million in cash, $110.2 million in debt and a stockholders’ deficit of $45.3 million.
