(e)           The Marcus Corporation (“Company”) held its 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders on October 11, 2011 (“Annual Meeting”). At the Annual Meeting, the shareholders of the Company approved the amendment and restatement of the Company’s 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (as so amended and restated, the “Amended Plan”).  The Amended Plan increases the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock available for issuance thereunder by 1.5 million shares.  In addition, the Amended Plan is renamed “The Marcus Corporation 2004 Equity and Incentive Awards Plan” to reflect the addition of non-equity incentive awards available under the Amended Plan.
 
The Company cannot currently determine the benefits, if any, to be paid under the Amended Plan in the future to the officers of the Company, including the Company’s named executive officers.
 
The Amended Plan is described in detail in the Company’s proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 2, 2011. The description of the Amended Plan set forth above does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended Plan, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated by reference herein.
