On
July 18, 2007, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of The Marcus
Corporation (the “Company”) amended the Company’s incentive plan to allow
the Committee to select from a wider variety of appropriate financial metrics upon which
to base the financial targets for achieving a corresponding incentive bonus. The amended
plan (the “Amended Plan”) now allows the Committee to choose from one or more of
the following financial metrics, either in absolute terms or in comparison to prior year
performance or publicly available industry standards or indices: revenues; gross operating
profit; operating income; pre-tax earnings; net earnings; earnings per share; earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA); economic profit; operating
margins and statistics; financial return and leverage ratios; total shareholder return
metrics; or a company-specific financial metric (such as Adjusted EBITDA). Additional
financial measures not specified may be considered if the Committee determines that the
specific measure contributes to achieving the primary goal of the incentive
plan – sustained growth in long-term shareholder value. The Committee retains
the ability to consider whether an adjustment of the selected financial goals for any year
is necessitated by exceptional circumstances.
The
Amended Plan is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is
incorporated herein by reference. The brief summary of the material provisions of the
Amended Plan set forth above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended Plan
filed as an exhibit hereto.
