Company, free and clear of all liens, the number of Existing Common Shares held by such Shareholder
set forth opposite such Shareholder’s name on Exhibit A hereto, and, in exchange therefor,
the Company shall issue to such Shareholder a number of New Common Shares equal to (i) the number
of Existing Common Shares so transferred and delivered by such Shareholder multiplied
by (ii) the Common Shares Multiplier (as defined below) (such exchange, the “Common
Shares Exchange”). The Existing Common Shares so exchanged shall be cancelled.

          The “Common Shares Multiplier” shall be determined in good faith by the Pricing
Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (or, at the discretion of the Board of Directors
of the Company, by the Board of Directors or any other committee thereto) in connection with the
determination of the Offering Price.

          (b) Prior to or at the Closing, each Shareholder shall surrender to the Company all stock
certificates evidencing Existing Common Shares owned by such Shareholder, free and clear of any
lien, claim or encumbrance, duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by stock powers or
assignments duly executed with all necessary stock transfer stamps attached thereto.

     1.2 Exchange of Existing Preferred Shares for New Common Shares.

          (a) Prior to the consummation of the Offering and immediately subsequent to the Common Shares
Exchange, at the Closing, each Shareholder shall transfer and deliver to the Company, free and
clear of liens, the number of Existing Preferred Shares held by such Shareholder set forth
opposite such Shareholder’s name on Exhibit A hereto, and, in exchange therefor, the
Company shall issue to such Shareholder a number of New Common Shares equal to (i) the Liquidation
Preference (as defined in the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of

2

 

Incorporation) as of the Closing Date of the Existing Preferred Shares so transferred and
delivered by such Shareholder divided by (ii) the Offering Price (such exchange,
the “Preferred Shares Exchange”). The Existing Preferred Shares so exchanged shall be
cancelled.

          (b) Prior to or at the Closing, each Shareholder shall surrender all stock certificates
evidencing Existing Preferred Shares owned by such Shareholder, free and clear of any lien, claim
or encumbrance, duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by stock powers or assignments duly
executed with all necessary stock transfer stamps attached thereto.

     1.3 No Fractional Shares. The Company will not issue fractional shares in connection
with the Common Shares Exchange or the Preferred Shares Exchange. Instead, the aggregate number of
New Common Shares that each Shareholder is entitled to receive shall be rounded up to the nearest
whole share.

     1.4 Hypothetical Calculation. Exhibit B hereto sets forth a hypothetical
calculation of the New Common Shares to be received in the Common Shares Exchange and the Preferred
Shares Exchange assuming a certain Common Shares Multiplier and Offering Price.

     1.5 Restrictive Legends. It is understood and agreed that the certificates evidencing
the shares of New Common Shares to be delivered at the Closing, and each certificate issued upon
transfer thereof, shall bear the following legend, in addition to any other legends required by
Ohio law:

THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE
HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY BE OFFERED AND
SOLD ONLY IF SO REGISTERED OR IN A MANNER
EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT.

     1.6 Transfer Taxes. The Company will assume and pay all transfer taxes (but not
income, franchise or other taxes measured by receipts or income) which are payable in connection
with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or the authorization and issuance of
or exchange for New Common Shares hereunder or in connection with any modification of this
Agreement. Each Shareholder will cooperate with the Company to obtain a refund of any such taxes
from governmental authorities, if applicable.

and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become binding when one or more counterparts taken
together shall have been executed and delivered by all of the parties.

     4.13 Independent Nature of Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Shareholder
under this Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of each other party, and no
Shareholder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other
party under this Agreement. The decision of each Shareholder to participate in the transactions
contemplated hereby has been made by such Shareholder independently of any other person. Nothing
contained herein, and no action taken by any Shareholder pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to

entity, or create a presumption that any Shareholder(s) are in any way acting in concert or as a
group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated hereby.

     4.14 Remedies. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that in the event

Exhibit 10.14

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

     This is an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of _____________, 2010, by Bravo
Development Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“BDH”), and Bravo Brio Restaurant
Group, Inc., an Ohio corporation (“BBRG”).

     The parties, intending to accomplish reorganizations under section 368(a)(1) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, agree as follows:

     1. BBRG, BDH and the other shareholders of BBRG (such other shareholders, the “Individual
Shareholders”) shall enter into an exchange agreement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit
1 hereto (the “Agreement”), pursuant to which BDH will exchange (the “BDH Exchange”) all of its
assets, which consist solely of shares of BBRG’s Common Stock,
par value $.001 per share, and shares of BBRG’s Series A 14%
Cumulative Compounding Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share,
for new Common Shares, no par value per share, of BBRG
(the “BDH Shares”). Other than as set forth in the Agreement, BBRG shall assume no liabilities of
BDH in connection with the BDH Exchange.

     2. In addition, pursuant to the Agreement, the Individual Shareholders will exchange all of
their shares of BBRG’s Common Stock,
par value $.001 per share, and shares of BBRG’s Series A 14%
Cumulative Compounding Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share,
for new Common Shares, no par value per share, of BBRG (the
“Recapitalization”).

     3. Immediately following the effectiveness of the BDH Exchange, BDH will distribute the BDH
Shares to its members as a liquidating distribution (the “Distribution”).

     4. BDH will, after the BDH Exchange and Distribution, take all additional steps necessary to
wind up and dissolve (the “Dissolution”) under the laws of Delaware on or before June 30, 2011. If
the Dissolution cannot be completed prior to December 31, 2010, BDH may make an “entity
classification election” and as a result be deemed to liquidate for U.S. federal income tax
purposes prior to the date on which the Dissolution is complete.

     5. As a result of the transactions contemplated in paragraphs 1, 3 and 4 above (the “BDH
Reorganization”), BBRG will receive all of the assets of BDH. The effect of the transactions will
be to transfer all assets of BDH to BBRG in exchange for the BDH Shares, followed by the
distribution of the BDH Shares in liquidation of BDH.

 

 

     This Agreement and Plan of Reorganization is adopted as a plan of reorganization for purposes
of section 368(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and Treasury Regulation
Section 1.368-2(g), with respect to each of the BDH Reorganization and the Recapitalization.
