offices is 7150 East Camelback Road, Suite 220, Scottsdale, AZ 85251.
ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND
(a) This Schedule 13D is being filed by Marcus E. Jundt.
(b) The principal residence or office of Mr. Jundt is 1360 12th Street Northeast,
Watertown, SD 57201.
(c) Mr. Jundt is a private investor.
(d) (e) During the last five years, Mr. Jundt has not been convicted in a criminal
proceeding, been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent
jurisdiction as a result of which such individual was or is subject to a judgment, decree, or final
order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting, or mandating activity subject to, federal or
state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
(f) Mr. Jundt is a citizen of the United States.
ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION
The 600,731 shares owned by Mr. Jundt were acquired as follows. (i) Mr. Jundt received 540,731 shares
on October 18, 2006 as a gift from the Mary Joann Jundt Irrevocable Trust. Mr. Jundt paid no consideration
in this transfer. (ii) Mr. Jundt purchased 60,000 shares on November 21, 2007 upon exercise of a stock
option at $6.00 per share. In connection with this purchase, Mr. Jundt borrowed $360,000 from Crown Bank
and pledged the 60,000 shares to Crown Bank in connection with the loan.
The 10,800 shares owned by trusts for Mr. Jundts children, as described in Item 5, were acquired
by the trusts prior to the Issuers initial public offering in 2005.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
Mr. Jundt has beneficially owned significant amounts of the Issuer's common stock since
prior to the Issuer's initial public offering in 2005. He has made previous filings with
respect to his beneficial ownership on Schedule 13G and amendments thereto. In October
2006 and November 2007, at the times he acquired the shares he currently beneficially owns,
as described in Item 3, Mr. Jundt was Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of
the Issuer. He acquired such shares for investment purposes. Currently, Mr. Jundt is not
an executive officer or director of the Issuer.
On January 25, 2010, Mr. Jundt transmitted a letter to the Issuer (the Notice), attached hereto
as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference. The Notice, in compliance with the
advance notice requirement of stockholder nominees in the Issuers Bylaws, advised the Issuer that
Mr. Jundt was nominating himself for election to the Board of Directors of the Issuer at the Annual
Meeting. On January 28, 2010, Mr. Jundt received a letter from Anthony L. Winczewski, Chairman of
the Issuers Nominating Committee, acknowledging receipt of Mr. Jundts letter. Mr. Winczewskis
letter asserted, among other things, that the Notice was deficient under the requirements of the
Issuers Bylaws, with which assertion Mr. Jundt disagrees. On February 3, 2010, Mr. Jundt
transmitted a letter to the Issuer, attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated herein
by reference, responding to Mr. Winczewskis letter and, among other things, providing certain
additional requested information including clarification of his request that the Company include
his name and background information in the 2010 proxy statement and to include his name on any
proxy card with the individuals nominated by the Companys board of directors for election as a
director of the Company. On February 4, 2010, Mr. Jundt received another letter from Mr.
Winczewski, asserting, among other things, that the Notice as amended by Mr. Jundts February 3
letter continued to be deficient under the requirements of the Issuers Bylaws, with which
assertion Mr. Jundt also disagrees. On February 5, 2010, Mr. Jundt transmitted another letter to
the Issuer, attached hereto as Exhibit 99.3 and incorporated herein by reference,
responding to Mr. Winczewskis letter and
3
providing certain additional requested information. On
February 6, 2010, Mr. Jundt received another letter from Mr. Winczewski (the February 6 Letter). The February 6 Letter stated
that the Issuers Nominating Committee had determined that Mr. Jundts February 5 letter does not
comply in all technical respects with the requirements of Section 1.13 of the Bylaws, with which
assertion Mr. Jundt disagrees. However, the February 6 Letter stated that the Nominating Committee
and the Board have determined that collectively, Mr. Jundts February 5 letter, together with the
Notice and the February 3 letter, substantially comply on their face with the requirements of
Section 1.13 of the Issuers Bylaws. The February 6 Letter stated that, therefore, the Issuer in
good faith, but subject to the accuracy and completeness of all information, representations and
undertakings made by Mr. Jundt in his correspondence, and further subject to Mr. Jundts compliance
with Rule 14a-9 under the Exchange Act, was not rejecting and did accept the validity of the
Notice, as so amended, for purposes of Section 1.13 of the Bylaws. The February 6 Letter also
stated that neither the Nominating Committee nor the Board will nominate Mr. Jundt as a Board
nominee or recommend him as a candidate for election at the Annual Meeting, and Mr. Jundts name
and background information will not appear in any of the Companys proxy materials.
As permitted under Section 1.13 of the Bylaws, Mr. Jundt intends to appear at the Annual Meeting to
place his name into nomination for election to the Board of
Directors. In addition to the activities described in this Item 4,, Mr. Jundt, as an investor, intends to review his
investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis and, depending on various factors, including,
without limitation, the Issuers financial position and management strategy, the price levels of
the common stock, conditions in the securities markets, conditions in the industry and general
economic conditions, may in the future take such actions with respect to his investment in the
Issuer as he deems appropriate including, without limitation, purchasing additional shares of
common stock or selling some or all of his shares or to change his intention with respect to any
and all matters referred to in Item 4.
Except as set forth in this Item 4, the Reporting Person has no present plans or proposal that
relates to or would result in any of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of
Schedule 13D.
STOCKHOLDERS OF KONA GRILL, INC.
ARE ADVISED TO READ THE PROXY STATEMENT AND ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS RELATED TO THE SOLICITATION OF
PROXIES IN SUPPORT OF MR. JUNDT FOR USE AT THE ANNUAL MEETING WHEN

GRILL, INC. FROM THE PARTICIPANT AT NO CHARGE AND WILL ALSO BE AVAILABLE AT NO CHARGE AT THE

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN THE SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
(a) Mr. Jundt may be deemed to beneficially own 611,531 shares, representing approximately
6.7% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. The calculation of the foregoing
percentage is based on a total of 9,143,856 shares of Common Stock outstanding on October 31, 2009,
as reported in the Issuers Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
(b) Mr. Jundt has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to 600,731 shares of the
Common Stock. Mr. Jundt has reported that he may be deemed the beneficial owner of an aggregate

trusts, does not hold voting or dispositive power over such shares and disclaims beneficial
ownership of such shares.
