Item 1. Security and Issuer
   
  This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 1”) relates to the Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Potbelly Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), which has its principal executive offices at 111 N. Canal Street, Suite 850, Chicago, Illinois 60606.  This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements, as set forth below, the information contained in Items 1, 2, 4, 5 and 7 of the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with respect to the Issuer on December 18, 2019, as amended, supplemented and restated from time to time prior to the date of this Amendment No. 1 (as so amended prior to the date of this Amendment No. 1, the “Original Schedule 13D”).  All capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Original Schedule 13D.  Except as amended by this Amendment No. 1, all information contained in the Original Schedule 13D is, after reasonable inquiry and to the best of the Reporting Person’s knowledge and belief, complete and correct as of the date of this Amendment No. 1.
   
Item 2. Identity and Background
   
 

Item 2 of the Original Schedule 13D is amended and supplemented to add the following paragraph after numbered paragraph (iv):

 

(v) Intrinsic Investment Holdings, LLC (“IIH”), an Illinois limited liability company, with a principal business address located at 220 N. Green Street, 3rd Floor, Chicago, IL 60607, is principally involved in the business of investing and managing private equity investments.

Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D is amended and supplemented to add the following paragraph:

 

The Reporting Persons have been engaged in discussions with the Issuer’s directors concerning, among other things, management and corporate governance. In connection with those discussions and in order to give them more time to succeed, on February 14, 2020 the Company agreed with the Reporting Persons that the Company will consider a notice from the Reporting Persons of the nomination of potential directors at the 2020 Annual Meeting to be timely if the notice is received by the Company by 5:00 pm New York City time on March 1, 2020. The Reporting Persons believe these discussions have been productive to date, but there is no assurance that the Reporting Persons and the Issuer will reach any agreements about the matters they are discussing.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
   
 

Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

 

(a) See rows (11) and (13) of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D for the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock and percentages of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by each Reporting Person. The percentages used in this Schedule 13D are calculated based upon 23,607,518 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer outstanding as of October 27, 2019, according to the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 29, 2019, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 5, 2019, plus in the case of Mr. Keil’s ownership percentage and the aggregate percentage collectively held by the group, if such a group is deemed to have been formed, each as disclosed above, the 162,803 shares of Common Stock underlying stock options held by Mr. Keil.

 

The Reporting Persons may be deemed to constitute a group pursuant to Rule 13d-5(b), in which case each of the Reporting Persons could be deemed to beneficially own all the shares of Common Stock held by the other Reporting Persons; however, each of the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock held by the other Reporting Persons except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein (if any).

 

(b) See rows (7) through (10) of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D for the number of shares of Common Stock as to which each Reporting Person has the sole or shared power to vote or direct the vote and sole or shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition.

 

(c) Other than the transfer of 100 shares by Vann A. Avedisian Trust U/A 8/29/85 to Intrinsic Investment Holdings, LLC on February 10, 2020, the Reporting Persons have not affected any transactions involving the Common Stock or any other equity interests of the Company since the filing of the Original Schedule 13D on December 18, 2019.

 

(d) No person is known to any Reporting Person to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, any of the shares of Common Stock reported herein.
