Item 5.04    Temporary Suspension of Trading Under Registrant’s Employee Benefit Plans.
On May 5, 2025, The Marcus Corporation (the “Company”) sent a notice required by Rule 104 of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation BTR (the “Notice”) to its directors and executive officers informing them of upcoming restrictions on the trading of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) due to a planned blackout period related to the Marcus Corp 401k Retirement Savings Plan (the “401(k) plan”).
The blackout period is required to facilitate the elimination of The Marcus Corporation Stock fund (the “Company Stock Fund”) as an investment option under the 401(k) plan, and the liquidation of shares of Common Stock currently held in the Company Stock Fund. The blackout period will begin on June 30, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. Central Time, and is expected to end on or before July 23, 2025. During the blackout period, participants in the 401(k) plan will be unable to change their investment elections or make other investment changes with respect to the Company Stock Fund.
As described in the Notice, during the blackout period, the Company’s directors and executive officers will be prohibited from engaging in any transaction, within or outside of the 401(k) plan, involving the Company’s equity securities, including pursuant to stock appreciation rights or other derivative securities, subject to limited exceptions. The term equity security includes, without limitation, the Company’s common stock, options and other derivatives.
Inquiries about the blackout period may be directed to Thomas F. Kissinger, Senior Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of the Company, at The Marcus Corporation, 111 E. Kilbourn Avenue, Suite 1200, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202, or by phone at (414) 905-1000.
