Item 5.02.Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

(d) On February 15, 2016, the Board of Directors of The Marcus Corporation (the “Company”) voted to elect David M. Baum as a new, independent director to fill a vacancy created by the Board’s action on that same date to increase the number of directors of the Company from twelve to thirteen. The initial term as director for Mr. Baum will expire at the Company’s 2016 annual meeting of shareholders. At the time of his election, Mr. Baum was not appointed to any committee of the Board of Directors.

 

On February 15, 2016, in connection with his election to the Board of Directors, the Company awarded options to purchase 1,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $18.56 per share and 1,094 shares of restricted stock to Mr. Baum. The stock option and restricted stock awards were each made under The Marcus Corporation Non-Employee Director Compensation Plan. The options awarded to Mr. Baum have a term of ten years and became fully vested and exercisable immediately after grant. The shares of restricted stock awarded to Mr. Baum vest at the earlier of (a) 100% upon Mr. Baum’s normal retirement from the Board of Directors or (b) 50% upon the third anniversary of the grant date if Mr. Baum is then still serving as a director and the remaining 50% upon the fifth anniversary of the grant date if Mr. Baum is then still serving as a director. In addition, the Company paid to Mr. Baum a prorated portion of the annual retainer paid to non-employee directors of the Company based on his February 15, 2016 election date.

 

Item 8.01.Other Events.

 

On February 17, 2016, the Company issued a press release announcing the Board of Directors’ election of Mr. Baum as a new director of the Company. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
