Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
|
On March 11, 2016, Nathan’s Famous, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and Mutual Securities, Inc. (“MSI”) entered into an agreement (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which MSI has been authorized on the Company’s behalf to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, $.01 par value (the “Common Stock”), which purchases may commence on March 21, 2016. The Agreement was adopted under the safe harbor provided by Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in order to assist the Company in implementing its stock repurchase plans. As described under “Item 8.01 – Other Events” below, the Company has amended its Sixth Securities Repurchase Program to provide for the purchase of up to an additional two hundred thousand (200,000) shares of Common Stock, under such program. As a result of this amendment, Two Hundred Ninety One Thousand Seventy Four (291,074) shares are still available for purchase under the Sixth Securities Repurchase Program.
On March 11, 2016, the Company authorized the purchase by the Company of up to an additional 200,000 shares of Common Stock. Purchases will be made from time to time, depending on market conditions, in open market or privately negotiated transactions, at prices deemed appropriate by management. There is no set time limit on the repurchases. After giving effect to the increase in the number of shares, an aggregate of Two Hundred Ninety One Thousand Seventy Four (291,074) shares of Common Stock remain available for purchase under the Company’s Sixth Securities Repurchase Program. To date, pursuant to all share repurchase programs authorized by the Board of Directors, the Company has purchased a total of five million ninety six thousand five hundred fifty seven (5,096,557) shares of Common Stock at a cost of approximately $76,022,000.
