Item 8.01.Other Events.

 

On February 4, 2019, The Marcus Corporation (the “Company”) entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) by and among the Company, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, as the Underwriter (the “Underwriter”), and Southern Margin Loan SPV LLC, as the selling shareholder (the “Selling Shareholder”), relating to an underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) by the Selling Shareholder of 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, $1.00 par value per share (“Common Stock”) and, as part of the Offering, granted the Underwriter a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 225,000 shares of Common Stock. Following the execution of the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriter exercised its option to purchase the full 225,000 additional shares of Common Stock.

 

The Underwriting Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company and the Selling Shareholder. The Underwriting Agreement also provides for customary indemnification by each of the Company, the Selling Shareholder and the Underwriter against certain liabilities and customary contribution provisions in respect of those liabilities. The foregoing description of the material terms of the Underwriting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 1.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

The Offering was made pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-229467) and the accompanying prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 1, 2019, and the related prospectus supplement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 4, 2019. The Offering closed on February 6, 2019. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock by the Selling Shareholder.

 

On February 4, 2019, the Company issued a press release announcing the commencement of the Offering, and on February 5, 2019, the Company issued a press release announcing that it had priced the Offering at public offering price of $40.25 per Share. Copies of these press releases are filed with this report as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.
