Page 6  of 8 Pages

Item 1.

SECURITY AND ISSUER

This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 25, 2011 (the “ Original Schedule 13D ” and together with this Amendment, the “ Schedule 13D ”), with respect to the shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “ Shares ” ), of California Pizza Kitchen, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Issuer ” ). Except as set forth herein, the Schedule 13D is unmodified. This Amendment constitutes an “exit filing” with respect to the Schedule 13D for the Reporting Persons.

Item 4.

PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

The last paragraph of Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

Except as set forth in this Item 4, none of the Reporting Persons has any present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the outcome of the Acquisition, the progress of any additional discussions with the Issuer's management team and Board, the Issuer's financial position and business strategy, the price levels of the Shares, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate including, without limitation, seeking Board representation, making proposals to the Issuer concerning changes to the capitalization, ownership structure, management or operations of the Issuer, calling a special meeting of stockholders, seeking appraisal rights, selling some or all of their Shares, engaging in hedging or similar transactions with respect to the Shares and/or otherwise changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in clauses (a) through (j) of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Item 5.

INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE COMPANY.

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

(a) The Reporting Persons may be deemed to have formed a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Act of 1934. As of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, 1,139,327 Shares representing approximately 4.6% of the Shares outstanding. The aggregate percentage of Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons is based upon 24,586,372 Shares outstanding, which is the total number of Shares outstanding as of April 29, 2011 as reported in the Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended April 3, 2011, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 6, 2011.

 

(b) By virtue of investment management agreements with CMAG and CES, CGI has the power to vote or direct the voting, and to dispose or direct the disposition, of all 1,139,327 Shares beneficially owned by CMAG and CES. By virtue of his direct and indirect control of CGI, CMAG and CES, Mr. Hall is deemed to have shared voting power and shared dispositive power with respect to all 1,139,327 Shares as to which CGI, CMAG and CES have voting power or dispositive power.
