On January 23, 2024, the Board of Directors of Ark Restaurants Corp. (the “Company”) approved the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “A&R Bylaws”), effective as of such date. The A&R Bylaws amended and restated the Company’s prior Bylaws in its entirety primarily to update certain procedural requirements related to director nominations by shareholders in light of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s recent adoption of Rule 14a-19 and amendments to existing rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Universal Proxy Rules”). Among other things, the amendments effected by the A&R Bylaws:

•added certain updated procedures in connection with shareholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of shareholders, including certain additional information requirements with respect to the shareholder making the proposal;

•added certain updated procedures in connection with shareholder nominations of directors, including certain additional information requirements with respect to nominating shareholders, their proposed nominees and other persons related to a shareholder’s solicitation of proxies;

•added a requirement for a nominating shareholder to comply in all respects with the requirements of the Universal Proxy Rules;

•added a requirement that a shareholder directly or indirectly soliciting proxies from other shareholders use a proxy card color other than white; and

•revised the notice period for shareholder meetings from fifty days to sixty days to reflect the procedural requirement provided for under Section 605 of the New York Business Corporation Law.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the A&R Bylaws, a copy of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
