Item 1.01.Entry into Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 10, 2022, the Compensation Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of
Directors ("Board") of The Marcus Corporation (the "Company") approved and
adopted an amended and restated non-employee director compensation plan
effective May 10, 2022 (the "Plan"). A copy of the Plan is filed as Exhibit 10.1
to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference. The principal
differences in the Plan compared to the Company's prior non-employee director
compensation plan are (i) a change in the annual meeting stock grant retainer
from 753 shares to a retainer valued at $25,000, with the number of common
shares being determined by dividing $25,000 by the volume-weighted average price
for the 20 trading days preceding the date of the grant? (ii) a change in the
annual fiscal year end restricted stock grant from 1,250 shares to a year-end
restricted stock grant valued at $45,000, with the number of common shares being
determined by dividing $45,000 by the volume-weighted average price for the 20
trading days preceding the date of the grant? and (iii) a change in the annual
fiscal year end non-qualified stock option grant from 750 shares to a year-end
non-qualified stock option grant valued at $10,000, with the number of options
being determined by dividing $10,000 by the calculated Black Scholes value of
the option as of the grant date. The summary of the Plan set forth below is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the Plan filed as an exhibit hereto.
Under the Plan, each non-employee director is eligible to receive (i) an annual
cash retainer of $25,000? (ii) a yearly annual meeting stock grant retainer of
common shares valued at $25,000, with the number of common shares being
determined by dividing $25,000 by the volume-weighted average price for the 20
trading days preceding the date of the grant? (iii) an annual fiscal year end
restricted stock grant of common shares valued at $45,000, subject to vesting as
described below, with the number of restricted common shares being determined by
dividing $45,000 by the volume-weighted average price for the 20 trading days
preceding the date of the grant? (iv) a board meeting fee of $5,500? (v) an
initial non-qualified stock option grant of 1,000 common shares upon first
joining the Board and annual fiscal year end non-qualified stock option of
common shares valued at $10,000, with the number of options being determined by
dividing $10,000 by the calculated Black Scholes value of the option as of the
grant date, subject to vesting as described below? (vi) a committee meeting fee
of $1,750 ($2,000 for the chairperson) for each Compensation Committee and
Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee meeting attended? (vii) a
committee meeting fee of $2,000 ($2,500 for the committee chairperson) for each
Audit Committee meeting attended? and (viii) reimbursement of out-of-pocket
expenses. All stock options granted to non-employee directors will have a term
of ten years, an exercise price equal to the grant date fair market value (as
determined by the closing sale price of the Company's common shares) and will be
fully vested and exercisable immediately upon grant. The restricted stock grants
will vest at the earlier of (a) 100% upon the director's normal retirement from
the Board, disability or upon death or (b) 50% upon the second anniversary of
the grant date if the individual is then still serving as a director and the
remaining 50% upon the fourth anniversary of the grant date if the individual is
then still serving as a director.
