Item 1. Security and Issuer

This Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 5”) relates to the Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Potbelly Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer” or “Potbelly”), which has its principal executive offices at 111 N. Canal Street, Suite 850, Chicago, Illinois 60606. This Amendment No. 5 amends and supplements, as set forth below, the information contained in Items 1, 4, 5, 6 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. 5 (as so amended, the “OriginalSchedule 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. 5, 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. 5.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

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

On May 10, 2020, the Issuer entered into a Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Intrinsic Investment Holdings, LLC, the Vann A. Avedisian Trust U/A 8/29/85, Vann A. Avedisian, KGT Investments, LLC, The Khimji Foundation, Mahmood Khimji, Bryant L. Keil, Neil Luthra (the foregoing, collectively with each of their respective affiliates, the “Investors”), David J. Near and Todd W. Smith (together, the “Investor Designees”). The Investor Designees are parties to the Settlement Agreement only for purposes of their rights and obligations under specified sections of the Settlement Agreement.

Effective upon the execution of the Settlement Agreement, the Board of Directors of the Issuer (the “Board”) (i) increased the size of the Board from eight to ten members, (ii) appointed David J. Near and Todd W. Smith to the Board, and (iii) appointed David J. Near to the Compensation Committee of the Board and Todd W. Smith to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board. The Board also agreed to include David J. Near and Todd W. Smith in the Issuer’s slate of nominees for election to the Board at the Issuer’s 2020 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2020 Annual Meeting”).

Also effective upon execution of the Settlement Agreement, the Investors withdrew their notice of intent to nominate director candidates for election to the Board at the 2020 Annual Meeting.

The Settlement Agreement further provides, among other things, that:

• During the period between the 2020 Annual Meeting and the Issuer’s delivery to the Investor Designees and the Investors of the renomination notice for the Issuer’s 2021 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2021 Annual Meeting”), the size of the Board will not be increased beyond 10 directors unless approved by the Issuer’s stockholders.

-8-

• During the term of the Settlement Agreement, the Investors will vote all of their shares of the Issuer’s common stock at any and all stockholder meetings in accordance with the Board’s recommendations, subject to certain exceptions relating to extraordinary transactions and recommendations of Institutional Shareholder Services, Inc. and Glass Lewis & Co., LLC.

• During the term of the Settlement Agreement, the Investors will be subject to customary standstill restrictions, including with respect to acquiring beneficial ownership of more than 15% of the Issuer’s outstanding common stock, nominating or recommending for nomination any persons for election to the Board, submitting any proposal for consideration at any stockholder meeting, soliciting any proxy in respect of any proposal for consideration at any stockholder meeting and participating in any “withhold” or similar campaign with respect to any stockholder meeting.

• Each party agrees not to make public statements about the other party, subject to certain exceptions.

• Each party agrees not to sue the other party, subject to certain exceptions.

• The Investor Designees will be subject to customary confidentiality obligations applicable to all directors of the Issuer and no Investor Designee will be asked to share any materialnon-public information concerning the Issuer.

• Either party may terminate the Settlement Agreement by giving five days’ advance notice to the other party. The earliest possible date of termination is the date that is 30 days prior to the notice deadline for the nomination of director candidates for election to the Board at the 2021 Annual Meeting, subject to certain exceptions (the “Initial Term”). Should the Board renominate the Investor Designees for election to the Board at the 2021 Annual Meeting and should the Investor Designees and the Investors accept the renomination, then the Initial Term will be automatically extended until the date that is 45 days prior to the notice deadline for the nomination of director candidates for election to the Board at the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders.

The above summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Settlement Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.2 to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated herein by reference.
