Item

Appointment of Principal Officers
On
October 26, 2006, Vada Hill notified us of his decision to resign from
the Board
of Directors of Denny’s Corporation (the “Board”), effective November 2,
2006. Mr. Hill, 47, who served as a Board member since 2003 and served on
the Board's Compensation and Incentives Committee as well as serving as
Chairman
of the Board’s Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, stated that the
time needed to attend to certain family matters will
not
enable him to devote the time and attention necessary to continue service
on the
Board. Mr. Hill indicated that he had no disagreements with Denny’s
Corporation, its management or the other directors.
Additionally,
in light of Mr. Hill’s decision to resign, the Board, pursuant to its authority
under the Company’s by-laws, has reduced the number of director positions on the
Board from nine to eight.
