March 16, 2005

AUSTIN, Texas -- Mr. Gatti's Inc. announced it has appointed Steve Burt to the newly created position of chief financial officer.

According to the Austin Business Journal, prior to joining Mr. Gatti's, a 150-unit chain based here, Burt worked as director of finance for Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

In late December, Mr. Gatti's was bought by Blue Sage Capital LP for an undisclosed mix of debt and equity from Kerrville, Texas-based holding company LDB Corp (read also Blue Sage Capital buys Mr. Gatti's pizza chain).

Currently, Mr. Gatti's operates a wide mix of pizza-centered operations in nine states. The chain was founded on limited service dine-in operations, but it has grown to include big-box buffet units with redemption games, and delivery-carryout units.
