PROXY STATEMENT

_________________________

For

2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders

To Be Held Tuesday, May 10, 2022

This proxy statement and accompanying form of proxy are being furnished to our shareholders beginning on or about March 31, 2022, in connection with the solicitation of proxies by our board of directors for use at our 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on Tuesday, May 10, 2022, at 9:00 A.M., Central Time, at Movie Tavern Brookfield Square, 175 S. Moorland Rd, Brookfield, WI 53005 and at any postponement or adjournment thereof (collectively, the “Meeting”), for the purposes set forth in the attached Notice of 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and as described herein.

Execution of a proxy will not affect your right to attend the Meeting and to vote in person, nor will your presence revoke a previously submitted proxy. You may revoke a previously submitted proxy at any time before it is exercised by giving written notice of your intention to revoke the proxy to our Secretary, by notifying the appropriate personnel at the Meeting in writing or by voting in person at the Meeting. Unless revoked, the shares represented by proxies received by our board of directors will be voted at the Meeting in accordance with the instructions thereon. If no instructions are specified on a proxy, the votes represented thereby will be voted: (1) for the board’s ten director nominees set forth below; (2) for the approval, by advisory vote, of the compensation of our named executive officers; (3) for the ratification of the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent auditor for our fiscal year ending December 29, 2022; and (4) on such other matters that may properly come before the Meeting and at any postponement or adjournment thereof in accordance with the best judgment of the persons named as proxies.

Only holders of record of shares of our Common Stock (“Common Shares”) and our Class B Common Stock (“Class B Shares”) as of the close of business on March 7, 2022 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to vote at the Meeting. As of the Record Date, we had 24,396,827 Common Shares and 7,110,875 Class B Shares outstanding and entitled to vote. The record holder of each outstanding Common Share on the Record Date is entitled to one vote per share and the record holder of each outstanding Class B Share on the Record Date is entitled to ten votes per share on each matter submitted for shareholder consideration at the Meeting. The holders of our Common Shares and the holders of our Class B Shares will vote together as a single class on all matters subject to shareholder consideration at the Meeting. The total number of votes represented by outstanding Common Shares and Class B Shares as of the Record Date was 95,505,577, consisting of 24,396,827 votes represented by outstanding Common Shares and 71,108,750 votes represented by outstanding Class B Shares.

IMPORTANT: If you hold your shares in a brokerage account, you should be aware that your broker is not permitted to vote your shares for the election of directors or the approval, by advisory vote, of the compensation of our named executive officers if you do not instruct your broker how to vote within 10 days prior to the Meeting. Therefore, you must affirmatively take action to vote your shares at the Meeting. If you do not, your shares will not be voted with respect to such matters.

PROPOSAL 1 — ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

At the Meeting, our shareholders will elect all ten members of our board of directors. The directors elected at the Meeting will hold office until our 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and until their successors are duly qualified and elected. If, prior to the Meeting, one or more of the board’s nominees becomes unable to serve as a director for any reason, the votes represented by proxies granting authority to vote for all of the board’s nominees, or containing no voting instructions, will be voted for a replacement nominee selected by the board of directors. Under Wisconsin law, if a quorum of shareholders is present, directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the shareholders entitled to vote in the election. This means that the individuals receiving the largest number of votes will be elected as directors, up to the maximum number of directors to be chosen at the election. Therefore, any shares that are not voted on this matter at the Meeting, whether by abstention, broker nonvote or otherwise, will have no effect on the election of directors at the Meeting.

All of our director nominees have been elected by our shareholders and have served continuously as directors since the date indicated below. The names of the director nominees, together with certain information about each of them as of the Record Date, are set forth below. Unless otherwise indicated, all of our director nominees have held the same principal occupation indicated below for at least the last five years.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Independence of Directors

Based on a review by our board of directors of the direct and indirect relationships that each of the ten directors currently serving on the board of directors has with the Company, including the relationships between the Company and Selig Leasing Co., Inc. and Major League Baseball, the board of directors has determined that each of Messrs. Selig, Hoeksema, Milstein, Stark and Baum and Ms. Gehl are “independent directors” as defined by the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Board Leadership Structure

Currently, Mr. Gregory Marcus serves as our chief executive officer and Mr. Stephen Marcus serves as our chairman of the board of directors. Our board of directors does not have a policy on whether or not the roles of chief executive officer and chairman of the board should be separate. Instead, our Corporate Governance Policy Guidelines provide that our board of directors has the authority to choose its chairman in any way it deems best for the Company and its shareholders at any given point in time. Since Mr. Stephen Marcus’ retirement as chief executive officer in 2009, our board of directors has determined that the separation of these roles most appropriately suits our Company because of Mr. Stephen Marcus’ long history with our Company, including his tenure as our chief executive officer, and his skills and experience within the industries in which we operate. Further, our board of directors believes that this split in roles allows Mr. Gregory Marcus to focus more of his energies on the management of our Company’s business. Our board of directors believes that there is no single board of directors leadership structure that would be most effective in all circumstances, and therefore retains the authority to modify this structure to best address our Company’s and our board of directors’ then current circumstances as and when appropriate. Additionally, our Corporate Governance Policy Guidelines provide that, if the chairman of the board of directors is an employee director or is otherwise not an independent director, then the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will recommend to the board of directors, and the board of directors will appoint, an independent director to serve as Lead Independent Director. Currently, Philip L. Milstein serves as our Lead Independent Director. The Lead Independent Director’s responsibilities include:

•calling and presiding over all meetings of the board of directors at which the chairman of the board of directors is not present, including executive sessions of independent directors, and communicating feedback on executive sessions to the chairman of the board of directors;

•providing input as necessary to the chairman of the board and secretary on preparation of agendas for board of directors meetings;

•facilitating the board of directors’ approval of the number and frequency of board of directors meetings, as well as the schedule of such meetings to ensure sufficient time for discussion of agenda items;

•serving as principal liaison between the independent directors and the chairman of the board of directors;

•ensuring that there is open communication between the independent directors, on the one hand, and the chairman of the board of directors and our management, on the other; and

•conferring with the chairman of the board of directors on other issues of corporate importance, as appropriate.

Our board of directors and, in particular, the Audit Committee are involved on an ongoing basis in the general oversight of our material identified enterprise-related risks. Each of our chief executive officer, chief financial officer and general counsel, with input as appropriate from other management members, report and provide relevant information directly to our board of directors or the Audit Committee on various types of identified material financial, reputational, legal, environmental and business risks to which we are or may be subject, as well as mitigation strategies for certain key identified material risks. These reports, information and strategies are then reviewed, approved and monitored on an ongoing basis by our board of directors and the Audit Committee. Our board of directors’ and Audit Committee’s roles in our risk oversight process have not affected our board of directors leadership structure. During 2021, our board of directors and its committees also reviewed and discussed with management the impact of COVID-19 on our employees, supply chain and business, as well as management’s strategies and initiatives to respond to, and mitigate, adverse impacts, including enhanced health and safety measures for our employees and customers.

Code of Conduct

The board of directors has adopted The Marcus Corporation Code of Conduct that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees. The Code of Conduct is available under the “Governance” section of our investor relations website, investors.marcuscorp.com. If you would like us to mail you a copy of our Code of Conduct, free of charge, please contact Thomas F. Kissinger, Senior Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary, The Marcus Corporation, 100 East Wisconsin Avenue, Suite 1900, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202-4125.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Our board of directors has an Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and Finance Committee. Each committee operates under a written charter and the charters of our Audit, Compensation and Corporate Governance and Nominating Committees are available under the “Governance” section of our website, www.marcuscorp.com. Our board of directors and each committee also operate under our Corporate Governance Policy Guidelines, which are available under the “Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee” tab of the “Governance” section of our website. If you would like us to mail you a copy of our Corporate Governance Policy Guidelines or a committee charter, free of charge, please contact Mr. Kissinger at the above address.

Audit Committee. Our board of directors has an Audit Committee whose principal functions are to: (1) appoint and establish the compensation for and oversee our independent auditors; (2) review annual audit plans with management and our independent auditors; (3) preapprove all audit and non-audit services provided by our independent auditors; (4) oversee management’s evaluation of the adequacy of our internal and business controls, disclosure controls and procedures, and risk assessment and management; (5) review areas of financial risk that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition with management and our independent auditors; (6) evaluate the independence of our independent auditors; (7) review, in consultation with management and our independent auditors, financial reporting and accounting practices of comparable companies that differ from our own; and (8) receive, retain and address complaints (including employees’ confidential, anonymous submission of concerns) regarding financial disclosure and accounting and auditing matters. Our Audit Committee consists of Brian J. Stark (Chairman), Katherine M. Gehl and David M. Baum. Each member of our Audit Committee is an independent, non-employee director as defined by the rules of the NYSE and the SEC. In addition, the board of directors has determined that each of the members of the Audit Committee is an “audit committee financial expert,” as that term is defined by the rules and regulations of the SEC. The Audit Committee met four times during fiscal 2021. See “Audit Committee Report.”

Compensation Committee. Our board of directors also has a Compensation Committee whose principal functions are to: (1) evaluate and establish the compensation, bonuses and benefits of our officers and other key employees and of the officers and other key employees of our subsidiaries; and (2) administer our executive compensation plans, programs and arrangements. See “Compensation Discussion and Analysis.” Our Compensation Committee consists of Allan H. Selig (Chairman), Philip L. Milstein and Brian J. Stark. Each member of our Compensation Committee is an independent, non-employee director as defined by the rules of the NYSE and the SEC. Our Compensation Committee also created a sub-committee, comprised of Messrs. Milstein and Stark, who are considered outside directors as defined by the rules of Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m), to take actions relevant to performance-based compensation intended to qualify as such under Section 162(m). The Compensation Committee met twice during fiscal 2021. See “Compensation Discussion and Analysis.”

Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. Our board of directors also has a Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee whose principal functions are to: (1) develop and maintain our Corporate Governance Policy Guidelines; (2) develop and maintain our Code of Conduct; (3) oversee the interpretation and enforcement of our Code of Conduct; (4) receive and review matters brought to the committee’s attention pursuant to our Code of Conduct; (5) evaluate the performance of our board of directors, its committees and committee chairmen and our directors; and (6) recommend individuals to be elected to our board of directors. Our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee consists of Philip L. Milstein (Chairman), Timothy E. Hoeksema, Katherine M. Gehl and David M. Baum. Each member of our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is an independent, non-employee director as defined by the rules of the NYSE and the SEC. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee met twice during fiscal 2021.

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee performs evaluations of the board of directors as a whole, the non-management directors as a group, and each director individually. In addition, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee regularly assesses the appropriate size of our board of directors and whether any vacancies on the board of directors are expected due to retirement or otherwise. In the event that vacancies are anticipated or otherwise arise or the board decides to increase the size of our board of directors, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will identify prospective nominees, including those nominated by management, members of our board of directors and

shareholders, and will evaluate such prospective nominees against the standards and qualifications set out in the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee Charter, including the individual’s range of experience, wisdom, integrity, ability to make independent analytical inquiries, business experience and acumen, understanding of our business and ability and willingness to devote adequate time to board and committee duties. While the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee does not specifically have a formal policy relating to the consideration of diversity in its process to select and evaluate director nominees, our Corporate Governance Policy Guidelines provide that the board of directors shall be committed to a diversified membership. Accordingly, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee seeks to have our board of directors represent a diversity of backgrounds, experience, gender and race.

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee does not evaluate shareholder nominees differently from any other nominee. Pursuant to procedures set forth in our By-laws, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will consider shareholder nominations for directors if we receive timely written notice, in proper form, of the intent to make a nomination at a meeting of shareholders. We did not receive any shareholder nominations for directors to be considered at the Meeting. To be timely for the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, any shareholder director nominations must be received by the date identified under the heading “Other Matters.” To be in proper form, the nomination must, among other things, include each nominee’s written consent to serve as a director if elected, a description of all arrangements or understandings between the nominating shareholder and each nominee, and information about the nominating shareholder and each nominee. These requirements are detailed in our By-laws, which are attached as an exhibit to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 24, 2020, which is accessible at www.sec.gov. A copy of our By-laws will be provided upon written request to Mr. Kissinger at the above address.

Finance Committee. Our board of directors also has a Finance Committee whose principal functions are to, upon the request of Company management, provide preliminary review, advice, direction, guidance and consultation with respect to potential transactions. Our Finance Committee consists of David Baum (Chairman), Stephen H. Marcus, Gregory Marcus, Philip L. Milstein, Brian Stark and Allan H. Selig. The Finance Committee did not meet during fiscal 2021.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

No member of the Compensation Committee has served as one of our officers or employees at any time. None of our executive officers serves as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any other company that has one or more executive officers serving as a member of our board of directors or Compensation Committee.

Board Meetings, Director Attendance, Executive Sessions and Presiding Director

Our board of directors met four times during fiscal 2021. Each of our directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate of the number of board meetings and number of meetings of the committees on which he or she served during fiscal 2021. Our non-management directors meet periodically in executive sessions without management present. The Lead Independent Director serves as the chairman of all meetings of our non-management directors.

Directors are expected to attend our annual meeting of shareholders each year. At the 2021 annual meeting of shareholders, all of our directors were in attendance.

Contacting the Board

Interested parties may contact our board of directors, a group of directors (including our non-management directors), or a specific director by sending a letter, regular or express mail, addressed to our board of directors or the specific director in care of Mr. Kissinger at the above address. Mr. Kissinger will promptly forward appropriate communications from interested parties to the board of directors or the applicable director.

(1)The outstanding Class B Shares are convertible on a share-for-share basis into Common Shares at any time at the discretion of each holder. As a result, a holder of Class B Shares is deemed to beneficially own an equal number of Common Shares. However, to avoid overstatement of the aggregate beneficial ownership of both classes of our outstanding capital stock, the Common Shares listed in the table do not include Common Shares that may be acquired upon the conversion of outstanding Class B Shares. Similarly, the percentage of outstanding Common Shares beneficially owned is determined with respect to the total number of outstanding Common Shares, excluding Common Shares that may be issued upon conversion of outstanding Class B Shares. The total number of votes represented by outstanding Common Shares and Class B Shares as of the Record Date was 95,505,577, consisting of 24,396,827 votes represented by outstanding Common Shares and 71,108,750 votes represented by outstanding Class B Shares.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

This compensation discussion and analysis, or “CD&A,” provides information about our compensation philosophy, principles and processes for our chairman of the board, our chief executive officer, our chief financial officer and our two other most highly compensated executive officers for fiscal 2021. Douglas A. Neis, our chief financial officer, will retire from our company effective May 15, 2022. We sometimes collectively refer to these executive officers in this CD&A as our “named executive officers.”

This CD&A is intended to provide you with a better understanding of why and how we make our executive compensation decisions and facilitate your reading of the information contained in the tables and descriptions that follow this discussion. This CD&A is organized as follows:

•Overview of Our Executive Compensation Philosophy. In this section, we describe our executive compensation philosophy and the core principles underlying our executive compensation programs and decisions.

•Role of Our Compensation Committee. This section describes the process and procedures that our Compensation Committee followed to arrive at its executive compensation decisions.

•Total Compensation. In this section, we describe our named executive officers’ total compensation.

•Elements of Compensation. This section includes a description of the types of compensation paid and payable to our named executive officers.

•Executive Stock Ownership. This section describes the stock ownership of our named executive officers.

•Impact of Tax, Accounting and Dilution Considerations. This section discusses Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) and certain accounting, financial reporting and shareholder dilution consequences that have impacted some of our executive compensation programs and decisions.

Overview of Our Executive Compensation Philosophy

Our executive compensation and benefit programs are designed to advance the following core compensation philosophies and principles:

•We strive to compensate our executives at competitive levels to ensure that we attract, retain and motivate our key management employees who we expect will contribute significantly to our long-term success and value creation.

•We link our executives’ compensation to the achievement of pre-established financial and individual performance goals that are focused on the creation of long-term shareholder value.

•Our executive compensation policies are designed to foster an ownership mentality and an entrepreneurial spirit in our management team. We try to do this by providing our executives with a substantial long-term incentive compensation component that helps to more closely align our management’s financial interests with those of our shareholders over an extended performance period, and that otherwise encourages our management team to take appropriate market-responsive risk-taking actions that will facilitate our long-term growth and success.

At our 2021 annual meeting of shareholders, our shareholders were asked to approve, by advisory vote, the compensation of our named executive officers during fiscal 2020 as disclosed in the proxy statement for our 2021 annual meeting. At our 2021 annual meeting, over 99% of the votes cast and over 94% of all shares entitled to vote at the meeting were voted in favor of the compensation of our named executive officers. In developing our executive compensation and benefit programs that were in effect for fiscal 2021, we considered our shareholders’ resounding approval of our executive compensation and benefit programs for fiscal 2020 at our 2021 annual meeting. As a result, and as we describe in this CD&A, we maintained during fiscal 2021 many of the same executive compensation and benefit programs that were overwhelmingly approved by our shareholders at our 2021 annual meeting.

Role of Our Compensation Committee

Our Compensation Committee, or “Committee,” attempts to ensure that our executive compensation and benefit programs are consistent with our core compensation philosophies and principles by:

•Analyzing aggregated composite survey and benchmark data from external compensation consultants about the compensation levels of similarly situated executives at equivalently-sized companies in various industry sectors.

•Reviewing on an annual basis the performance of our company and our named executive officers, with assistance and recommendations from our chief executive officer (other than with respect to himself and our chairman), and determining their total direct compensation based on competitive levels as measured against our surveyed sectors, our company’s financial performance, each executive’s individual performance and other factors described below.

•Reviewing the performance and determining the total compensation earned by, or paid or awarded to, our chairman and chief executive officer independent of input from them.

•Maintaining the practice of holding executive sessions (without management present) at every meeting of our Committee.

•Taking into account the long-term interests of our shareholders in developing and implementing our executive compensation plans and in making our executive compensation decisions.

Our Compensation Committee annually engages the services of external compensation consultants, including Aon Hewitt and Willis Towers Watson, to provide the Committee with then current survey and benchmarking compensation data on a position-by-position basis for each of our named executive officers on a composite aggregated basis for various selected industry sectors. Specifically, Aon Hewitt and Willis Towers Watson have provided our Committee with composite aggregated data respecting the base salary and total cash compensation (i.e., base salary and bonuses) for similarly situated executives at other companies with comparable annual revenue levels in the following sectors: (1) all organizations; (2) all non-manufacturing organizations; and (3) service organizations. The Committee chose these sectors so as to provide it with both a broad scope of applicable executive compensation data to consider, as well as more specific information at similarly-sized companies in comparable sectors. Neither Aon Hewitt nor Willis Towers Watson have provided, and our Compensation Committee has not received, reviewed or considered, the individual identities of the companies which comprised these general sector categories of benchmarked organizations. For each of these sectors, our Committee has been provided with aggregated compiled data and identified the 25th percentile, median and 75th percentile amounts for the base salary and total cash compensation amounts for executives similarly situated to the named executive officers in each sector. In particular, when reviewing this survey data, our Committee pays particular attention to the composite benchmark salary and cash compensation data related to the service organizations (when available for a given position), because our Committee believes that they are the most similar to our hotels and resorts and theatre divisions. In connection with our Committee’s long-term equity-based incentive award grants, Willis Towers Watson provided our Committee with composite aggregated data regarding the value of competitive long-term incentive plans for similarly situated executives at other companies with comparable revenue levels, identifying the 25th percentile, median and 75th percentile amounts.

Our Compensation Committee has the final authority to engage and terminate any compensation consultant and is responsible for periodically evaluating any compensation consultant that it engages. Our Compensation Committee also has the responsibility to consider the independence of any compensation consultant before engaging the consultant. Prior to each consultant’s appointment for fiscal 2021, our Compensation Committee reviewed the independence of such consultant and its individual representatives who serve as consultants to the Committee in light of SEC rules and NYSE listing standards regarding the independence of compensation committee members and the specific factors set forth therein and concluded that Aon Hewitt’s and Willis Towers Watson’s work for the Committee does not raise any conflict of interest.

In addition to Willis Towers Watson’s work for our Compensation Committee, a different division of Willis Towers Watson provides actuarial services and pension plan consulting to us. In fiscal 2021, we paid such division approximately $44,000 for such actuarial and pension plan services which, given the relative sizes of both our organizations, we believe to be a relatively immaterial amount. As a result, our Compensation Committee concluded that Willis Towers Watson’s provision of such actuarial and pension plan consulting services does not raise any conflict of interest.

In February 2022, our Compensation Committee conducted a thorough risk assessment of our compensation policies and practices. Our Committee evaluated the levels of risk-taking that could be potentially encouraged by each of our material compensation arrangements, after taking into account any relevant risk-mitigation features. As a result of this review, our Committee concluded that our compensation policies and practices do not encourage excessive or unnecessary risk-taking.

Total Compensation

The compensation paid to our named executive officers consists of four main elements: (1) salary; (2) an annual incentive cash bonus; (3) a long-term incentive compensation award, which includes an annual stock option grant, an annual restricted stock award and an annual long-term performance cash award; and (4) other benefits, including those made available under our employee benefit plans. The combination of these elements is intended to provide our named executive officers with fair and competitive compensation that rewards corporate and individual performance and helps attract, retain and motivate highly qualified individuals who contribute to our long-term success and value creation. Additionally, these compensation elements, particularly our annual incentive cash bonus and long-term incentive awards, are designed to foster a shareholder mentality and the continuation of our entrepreneurial spirit by encouraging our executives to take appropriate market-responsive risk-taking actions that help create long-term shareholder value.

While the relative amounts of salaries and benefits provided to our named executive officers are intended to be set at competitive levels compared to our surveyed group of benchmarked sectors, we provide our executives with the opportunity to earn significant additional amounts through performance-based annual cash bonuses and long-term incentive compensation programs.

For fiscal 2021, the total cash compensation (i.e., salary and annual cash bonus) paid to our named executive officers generally fell between the 50th and 75th percentile of the total cash compensation amounts paid to executives holding equivalent positions at our surveyed group of benchmarked sectors. In establishing these relative levels of compensation, our Committee first established the relative level of each of our named executive officer’s base salary at between the 50th and 75th percentile of the salary paid to similarly situated executives at our surveyed group of benchmarked sectors. These decisions were based on the considerations discussed in more detail below under “Elements of Compensation — Base Salaries.” Then, our Committee established the relative level of each of our named executive officer’s targeted annual cash bonus award that, if earned, would result in our payment of total cash compensation amounts that would generally fall between the 50th and 75th percentile of the total cash compensation paid to similarly situated executives at our surveyed group of benchmarked sectors. These decisions were based on the considerations discussed in more detail below under “Elements of Compensation — Annual Cash Bonuses.” Our Committee subjectively believed that the targeted relative levels of total cash compensation to our named executive officers resulting from this process generally reflected the highly experienced nature of our senior executive team and was generally consistent with our historical corporate financial performance, the individual performance of our named executive officers and our prior shareholder return. Our Committee also believed that these total cash compensation levels were reasonable in their totality and supported our core compensation philosophies and principles. However, in establishing these relative compensation levels, our Committee did not specifically compare any of the criteria listed in the prior two sentences to our surveyed group of benchmarked sectors. For fiscal 2021, our Committee established the range of potential total cash compensation payable to our named executive officers at the same relative levels compared to updated recent information for our benchmarked sectors.

Mr. Greg Marcus, as our chief executive officer and Mr. Rodriguez, as our theatre division president, have a higher percentage of their total compensation based on achieving their incentive bonus targets, because our Committee believes that they have the most potential to impact our corporate financial performance. Our Committee believes that this emphasis and allocation most effectively links pay-for-performance.

Elements of Compensation

Base Salary

Our Compensation Committee, in consultation with our chief executive officer (other than with respect to decisions affecting himself and our chairman), strives to establish competitive base salaries for our named executive officers set at between the 50th and 75th percentile of the salaries paid to similarly situated executives at our surveyed group of benchmarked sectors. Each executive officer’s salary is initially based on the level of his responsibilities, the relationship of such responsibilities to those of our other executive officers and his tenure at our company. We evaluate and adjust the base salaries of our named executive officers annually as of March 1 of each fiscal year. When evaluating and adjusting the salaries of our named executive officers (other than our chairman and chief executive officer), we consider the recommendations of our chief executive officer. In making his recommendations, our chief executive officer generally takes into account: (1) our corporate financial performance as a whole and on a divisional basis, when appropriate, for the most recent fiscal year compared to our historical and budgeted performance; (2) general economic conditions (including inflation) and the impact such conditions had on our operations and results; (3) each executive officer’s past, and anticipated future, contributions to our performance; (4) each executive officer’s compensation history with our company and the past levels of each element of total compensation; (5) how each executive officer’s salary compares to the range of salaries of similarly situated executives at our surveyed group of benchmarked companies; (6) new responsibilities, if any,

recently delegated, or to be delegated, to such officer; and (7) the executive’s participation in significant corporate achievements during the prior fiscal year. Our Compensation Committee, while looking to our chief executive officer for his recommendations as to the salaries of our other named executive officers (other than with respect to himself and our chairman), also engages in its own independent review and judgment concerning such base salary adjustments based on the foregoing factors. When evaluating and adjusting our chief executive officer’s and chairman’s salary, our Compensation Committee independently, and without input from our chief executive officer, considers the factors cited above, as well as their respective ability to inspire subordinates with the vision of our company, and makes decisions accordingly. The seven factors listed above are only generally, and not individually or separately, analyzed, assessed and weighted by our Committee in its determination of the amount of base salary of each individual named executive officer. Our Committee subjectively assesses these factors in the aggregate based on the recommendations of our chief executive officer for all named executive officers other than himself and our chairman and, in the case of our chairman and chief executive officer, by our Committee on its own accord.

As a result of the process described above, for fiscal 2021, Stephen H. Marcus, Gregory S. Marcus, Douglas A. Neis, Thomas F. Kissinger and Rolando B. Rodriguez each received increases of 1.0% in their base salaries as of March 1, 2021, with a stated intention to review the annual base salaries of our named executive officers again at the beginning of our fiscal third and fourth quarters, depending upon a number of factors, including the then-current status of the COVID-19 pandemic. An additional review was conducted during fiscal 2021 and Messrs. Stephen Marcus, Greg Marcus, Neis, Kissinger and Rodriguez each received an additional increase of 3.0% in their base salaries as of August 20, 2021. In fiscal 2021, the base salaries paid to Messrs. Stephen Marcus, Greg Marcus, Neis, Kissinger and Rodriguez represented 58%, 23%, 33%, 33% and 28%, respectively, of their respective total compensation for the fiscal 2021 as set forth below in the Summary Compensation Table. Based upon our analyzing similar factors earlier this calendar year, for fiscal 2022, Messrs. Stephen Marcus, Greg Marcus, Neis, Kissinger and Rodriguez received an increase in their annual base salary of 1.0%, 4.4%, 5.0%, 5.1% and 2.5%, respectively.

Annual Cash Bonuses

We establish targeted potential annual cash bonus awards at the beginning of each fiscal year pursuant to our variable incentive plan, which our Compensation Committee administers. Our variable incentive plan allows our Committee to select from a variety of appropriate financial metrics upon which to base the financial targets for achieving a corresponding annual incentive bonus. Under our variable incentive plan, our Committee may 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, adjusted consolidated pre-tax income (“API”) or adjusted division pre-tax income (“ADI”)). Additional financial measures not specified in the variable incentive plan may be considered if our Committee determines that the specific measure contributes to achieving the primary goal of our incentive plan — sustained growth in long-term shareholder value. Our Committee retains the ability to consider whether an adjustment of the selected financial goals for any year is necessitated by exceptional circumstances. This ability is intended to be narrowly and infrequently used.

Targeted annual bonus awards under the variable incentive plan may be based on our relative achievement of the selected consolidated financial targets and/or divisional financial targets, as well as on discretionary individual performance measures that help enhance shareholder value as subjectively determined by our Compensation Committee. Our Committee also from time to time has granted special compensation awards to our named executive officers and other key employees to reward their integral involvement in significant corporate achievements or events. Our Committee did not grant any special compensation awards to any of our named executive officers in fiscal 2021.

Historically, at the beginning of each fiscal year, our Committee establishes applicable financial targets for such fiscal year for purposes of granting our named executive officers’ target incentive cash bonus opportunities for that fiscal year. For each selected applicable financial target, our Committee also establishes a threshold minimum level of financial performance and a maximum level of financial performance relative to such target. If our actual financial performance equals our targeted financial metric, then the portion of our incentive bonus payouts based on achieving that financial target will be equal to 100% of the targeted bonus amount. If we do not achieve the specified minimum threshold level of financial performance, then no incentive bonus payouts based on financial performance will be paid. If we equal or exceed the specified maximum level of financial performance, then we will pay out up to 320% of the targeted amount of the incentive bonuses based on the level that we exceed the selected financial performance metric. Financial performance between the threshold and target levels and between the target and maximum levels will result in a prorated portion of the financial-based bonus being paid.

In prior years, our Committee established the financial component of each named executive officer’s target incentive bonus opportunity as a percentage of API for corporate officers and as a percentage of theatre division ADI for Mr. Rodriguez. For purposes of determining the relative achievement of our financial targets, we defined “API” as consolidated earnings before income taxes, excluding gains and losses from dispositions of assets, preopening expenses and unusual items, and less a goodwill amortization charge. Similarly, for these purposes, we defined “ADI” generally in the same manner as we did API, except that division earnings before income taxes was our beginning baseline metric instead of consolidated earnings before income taxes, and we also subtracted an intercompany rent charge for company-owned real estate associated with each division. Our Committee also retains the ability to consider whether an adjustment of the selected financial goals for any year is necessitated by exceptional circumstances. This ability is intended to be narrowly and infrequently used. We have historically established these financial targets for each fiscal year based on a consistent methodology that encourages growth over an average of prior years’ performance for both our company and our theatre division. We establish these targets with the belief that the level of achievability of the targets would likely be consistent with the relative level of achievement of our historical financial targets. Since the implementation of our incentive plan, we have achieved between 0%-218% of the applicable bonus based upon our consolidated financial targets and 0%-379% of the applicable bonus based upon our division financial targets.

Additionally, the Committee historically has established each named executive officer’s individual performance component of their fiscal year target incentive bonus opportunity as a fixed percentage of their base salary, which was generally intended to approximate 20-30% of the total target incentive bonus opportunity for our chairman, chief executive officer and theatre division president and 40% for all of our other named executive officers, although these percentages may vary from year to year. Individual performance measures have historically included such officer’s individual contributions and achievements during the fiscal year, particularly as such contributions and achievements relate to advancing our entrepreneurial spirit. If earned, our Committee believes that the combined financial and individual performance components of bonuses at the target levels would result in our payment of total direct compensation to our named executive officers that would generally fall between the 50th and 75th percentile of total direct compensation paid to similarly situated executives at our benchmarked sectors.

For fiscal 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and our expectation that we would not return to pre-COVID-19 profitability levels during the year, the Compensation Committee determined that the methodology used in previous years to establish financial targets did not apply. As such, the Compensation Committee did not establish targeted cash bonus awards for fiscal 2021 for Messrs. Stephen Marcus, Greg Marcus, Neis, Kissinger and Rodriguez, but indicated that it would consider awarding discretionary cash bonuses if deemed appropriate. As a result, Messrs. Stephen Marcus, Greg Marcus, Neis, Kissinger and Rodriguez did not earn incentive bonus amounts according to the terms of the variable incentive plan during fiscal 2021. The Compensation Committee did determine, however, that due to the extraordinary efforts and achievement put forth by our named executive officers during fiscal 2021 in addressing the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and returning us to profitability during the second half of the fiscal year, special compensation awards would be appropriate. As a result, Mssrs. Stephen Marcus, Greg Marcus, Neis, Kissinger and Rodriguez were awarded discretionary cash bonuses in March 2022 of $141,151, $487,905, $149,805, $156,045 and $257,164, respectively.

The Committee elected to return to establishing target bonuses for fiscal 2022 under the terms of the variable incentive plan, using Adjusted EBITDA as the financial target in the upcoming year as a replacement for API and ADI. For purposes of determining the relative achievement of our financial targets, we define Adjusted EBITDA as operating income plus depreciation and amortization, impairment charges, share-based compensation and any material unusual nonrecurring items. The targeted fiscal 2022 incentive bonus award for Mr. Rodriguez is based 100% on achieving the fiscal 2022 Adjusted EBITDA target of the theatre division. The targeted fiscal 2022 incentive bonus awards for Messrs. Stephen Marcus and Greg Marcus is based approximately 70-80% on achieving our fiscal 2022 consolidated Adjusted EBITDA target and approximately 20-30% on achieving their applicable individual performance measures. The targeted fiscal 2022 incentive bonus amounts for Mr. Kissinger is based approximately 60% on achieving our fiscal 2022 consolidated Adjusted EBITDA target and approximately 40% on achieving his applicable individual performance measures. We established these Adjusted EBITDA targets for fiscal 2022 based upon a methodology that encourages continued growth during our recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. We also established these targets with the belief the level of achievability of the targets would likely be consistent with the relative level of achievement of our historical financial targets. We did not establish performance criteria or a targeted cash bonus award in respect of, and Mr. Neis will not receive, an incentive bonus award for fiscal 2022 as a result of his retirement effective May 15, 2022.

Long-Term Incentive Awards

We believe that long-term incentive awards support our core compensation philosophies and objectives because they encourage entrepreneurism and help our named executive officers to maintain a shareholder mentality in managing our businesses. We believe that using long-term incentive awards as an important component of our executive compensation

package will further our goals of promoting continuity of management and increasing incentive and personal interest in our welfare by those employees who are primarily responsible for shaping or carrying out our long-range plans and securing our continued growth and financial success. Historically, we have granted stock options to a broad range of employees because we believe it is beneficial to our shareholders to have our employees maintain a shareholder orientation and an entrepreneurial spirit. In fiscal 2021, 45% of our employee stock options were granted to employees other than our named executive officers. For fiscal 2022, this percentage remains high at 44%.

Our long-term incentive plan for our senior executives includes a mix of three compensation elements: stock options (typically expected to constitute approximately 30-40% of each annual long-term incentive award), performance cash (typically expected to constitute approximately 40-45% of each annual long-term incentive award) and restricted stock (typically expected to constitute approximately 20-30% of each annual long-term incentive award). Our Committee granted Mr. Rodriguez a larger percentage of his initial long-term incentive award in the form of restricted stock as an incentive to join the Company. Our Committee tries to target the relative size of our annual long-term incentive grants to place us at or above the median level of long-term grants provided by our benchmarked companies. Stock options granted under the plan prior to fiscal 2018 generally become exercisable 40% after two years, 60% after three years, 80% after four years and 100% after five years of the date of grant. Beginning in fiscal 2018, stock options granted under the plan become exercisable 50% after two years, 75% after three years and 100% after four years of the date of grant. The options generally expire ten years from the date of grant as long as the optionee is still employed with the Company. Our restricted stock grants prior to fiscal 2018 have a vesting schedule of 50% after the third anniversary of grant and 100% after the fifth anniversary. Beginning in fiscal 2018, our restricted stock grants have a vesting schedule of 50% after the second anniversary of grant and 100% after the fourth anniversary. Mr. Stephen Marcus is not eligible to receive any equity-based award grants under our stock option and equity awards plans.

Our long-term incentive plan for our senior executives includes a performance cash component in order to increase the plan’s emphasis on linking the total compensation of our named executive officers to the relative level of our operating performance over the longer term. The performance cash component’s measurement period is five years for grants made in fiscal 2018, fiscal 2019, fiscal 2020, fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2022 for Messrs. Greg Marcus, Neis, Kissinger and Rodriguez. The performance measures for the performance cash component are our average return on invested capital, or ROIC, during the relevant measurement periods, and our Adjusted EBITDA growth rate during the relevant measurement period, each of which is measured and calculated independently of each other, but with the relative achievement of our ROIC levels weighted 75% of the targeted total pay-out amount and our relative achievement of our Adjusted EBITDA growth rate weighted 25%. Under our cash performance plan, if our relative ROIC and/or Adjusted EBITDA growth rate over the relevant measurement period is equal to the 25th percentile of the respective Russell 2000 ROIC and/or Adjusted EBITDA growth rate over the measurement period, then the payment made to our named executive officers will be equal to 25% of the target pay-out amount for such respective performance measure. If we achieve performance of either or both measures equal to the 50th percentile, then the pay-out will be 100% of the target pay-out amount for such respective performance measure. If we achieve performance of either or both measures equal to the 75th percentile, then the pay-out will be 150% of the target pay-out amount for such respective performance measure. Performance achievements in between these percentiles will result in prorated pay-outs based on the foregoing pay-out ratios.

In order to recognize the extraordinary effort and achievement put forth by our named executives and other key employees in addressing the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, our Committee awarded special restricted stock grants during fiscal 2021 to the named executive officers and a broad range of employees based on an approximate value equal to 50% of the average incentive bonus paid to such recipient over the prior three fiscal years. These special restricted stock grants have a vesting schedule of 100% after the first anniversary of grant. Approximately 72% of the special restricted stock awards were granted to employees other than our named executive officers.

Based on the foregoing considerations, our Committee granted the following fiscal 2021 long-term incentive awards to our named executive officers (other than to our chairman) based on benchmarking data provided to it by Willis Towers Watson, as well as the recommendations of our chief executive officer (other than with respect to himself).

Stock Option Policies

We generally follow a practice of granting stock options to all selected and then serving executives once a year on an annual fixed-date basis, with an effective grant date as of the third business day after the public release of our prior fiscal year financial results. We follow this practice so that the exercise price associated with our annual stock option grants is generally then most likely to reflect all then currently publicly available material information about our company. For newly-hired executives or other employees to whom we determine to grant equity-based awards, such grants are effective on the date on which our Committee approves such grants. We only grant options with an exercise price equal to the closing sale price of our Common Shares on the effective date of grant. All options are granted with an exercise price equal to 100% of the fair market value (i.e., closing sale price) of our Common Shares on the date of grant. Options granted prior to fiscal 2018 generally vest and become exercisable with respect to 40% of the shares after two years from the grant date, 60% after three years, 80% after four years and 100% after five years, and expire ten years after the grant date. Options granted since fiscal 2018 generally vest and become exercisable with respect to 50% of the shares after two years from the grant date, 75% after three years and 100% after four years, and expire ten years after the grant date.

We have adopted a policy that prohibits the repricing of stock options, and we have never repriced any options (other than in connection with making equitable adjustments as required under our stock option and equity awards plans in connection with stock splits and our special cash dividend). Similarly, we have never engaged in any type of so-called stock option “back dating” practices or other similar grant date manipulations of stock options, and we will never do so in the future. While our chief executive officer recommends the recipients of our equity-based awards and the relative level of such awards, we do not delegate grant authority to him or any other members of our management.

We try to maintain our so-called “burn rate” of annual equity grants at around 1-2% of our fully-diluted outstanding Common Shares. In fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2022 to date, our total annual burn rate was approximately 2.3% and 1.8%, respectively, with approximately 1.3% and 1.0%, respectively, attributable to stock options and restricted stock granted to our named executive officers.

Other Benefits

Qualified Retirement Plan

Our 401k Retirement Savings Plan (formerly known as the Pension Plus Plan) is a profit-sharing plan with Code Section 401(k) features and covers all of our eligible employees and eligible employees of our subsidiaries, including our named executive officers, and uses a participating employee’s aggregate direct compensation as the basis for determining the employee and employer contributions that are allocated to the employee’s account. A participating employee may elect to make deposits of up to 60% of his or her annual compensation. Prior to 2017, a variety of employer contributions, including employer matching and profit-sharing contributions, were permitted to be made to the 401k Retirement Savings Plan. Beginning in 2017, the 401k Retirement Savings Plan provides only one type of employer contribution: a matching contribution equal to 100% of the first 3% of compensation and 50% of the next 2% of compensation deposited by an employee into the 401k Retirement Savings Plan. The employee’s deposits, the employer pre-2017 basic contributions and the 2017 and later matching contributions allocated to a participating employee’s account are fully vested upon deposit, and the employer pre-2017 matching and profit performance contribution are subject to a graduated vesting schedule resulting in full vesting after six years of service. Each participating employee has the right to direct the investment of the employee’s account in one or more of several available investment funds, including Common Shares. The vested portion of a participating employee’s account balance becomes distributable only after the employee’s termination of employment or upon attainment of age 591∕2, although the employee has the right while employed to borrow a portion of such vested portion or make a withdrawal of the employee’s own deposits for certain hardship reasons that are prescribed by applicable federal law.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

Our Deferred Compensation Plan is a nonqualified defined contribution program whereby our eligible employees, including our named executive officers, may voluntarily make irrevocable elections to defer receipt of up to 100% of their annual cash compensation (i.e., salary and/or incentive bonus) on a pre-tax basis. The irrevocable election must be made prior to the start of any calendar year to which it applies and must specify both a benefit payment commencement date and a form of payment (i.e., lump sum or periodic installments). During each quarter of the deferral period, we apply to the deferred amount an earnings credit based on the average prime interest rate of a designated Milwaukee, Wisconsin bank. The benefits payable under the Deferred Compensation Plan (i.e., the employee’s deferred amount plus his or her earnings credits) will be paid out of our general corporate assets as they become due (i.e., after the employee’s specified commencement date).

Our Retirement Income and Supplemental Retirement Plan, or our “Supplemental Plan,” is available to eligible employees with annual compensation in excess of a specified level ($130,000 for calendar years 2021 and 2022), including each of our named executive officers. The Supplemental Plan includes two components. The first component applies to certain participants (called “RIP Participants”) and provides nonqualified pension benefits consistent with those that the Supplemental Plan has historically provided. The second component applies to all other participants (called “SRP Participants”) and provides an account-based supplemental retirement benefit. All benefits payable under the Supplemental Plan are paid out of our general corporate assets as they become due after retirement or other termination.

A RIP Participant is an eligible employee who was a participant in the Supplemental Plan on December 31, 2008, and who met at least one of the following requirements on January 1, 2009: (1) the participant was age 50 or older; (2) the participant had 20 or more years of service; or (3) the participant was a member of the Corporate Executive Committee. All of our named executive officers are RIP Participants.

A RIP Participant in the Supplemental Plan is entitled to receive annual benefits substantially in accordance with the table set forth below, except that the amounts shown in the table do not reflect the applicable reductions for Social Security benefits and benefits funded by employer contributions that are payable under our other employee benefit plans. For a RIP Participant entitled to the highest level of Social Security benefits who retires at age 65 during calendar year 2021, the reduction in annual Supplemental Plan benefits would equal approximately $33,360.

The Supplemental Plan provides annual benefits to RIP Participants (calculated on a straight life annuity basis assuming the benefits commence at age 65) based on a formula that takes into account the employee’s average total compensation for the five highest compensation years within the employee’s last ten compensation years and the employee’s years of service (up to a maximum of 30). In calculating employee compensation for purposes of determining contributions to the Supplemental Plan for RIP Participants, we use a participating employee’s total cash compensation (which, for the named executive officers, is comprised of the salary and bonus amounts listed in the “Summary Compensation Table” below), excluding long-term performance cash amounts. In addition to a reduction equal to 50% of Social Security benefits, the Supplemental Plan reduces its benefits for RIP Participants by the benefits attributable to the employer contributions received by the participating employee under our other employee benefit plans, such as the 401k Retirement Savings Plan and our former qualified pension plans.

A RIP Participant is entitled to benefits under the Supplemental Plan upon normal retirement on or after age 65, early retirement after age 60 with at least five years of service, disability retirement after at least five years of service and other termination of employment after at least five years of service. A graduated vesting schedule, which provides for 50% vesting after five years of service and an additional 10% for each year of service thereafter, applies in the case of termination of employment before completing ten years of service or qualifying for normal, early or disability retirement.

The Supplemental Plan provides that the retirement benefits to which Mr. Stephen Marcus, who is a RIP Participant, is entitled upon his separation from service with us commenced effective January 1, 2009 and we calculate such benefits as if Mr. Stephen Marcus had terminated his employment with us on December 31, 2008. As a result, Mr. Stephen Marcus receives approximately $300,127 in payments under our Supplemental Plan each fiscal year until his death (slightly higher in a 53-week year).

The SRP Participants in the Supplemental Plan as of December 31, 2008 had their nonqualified supplemental pension benefits converted into an account balance benefit. The opening account balance for each of these individuals equaled the present value of his or her vested accrued supplemental pension benefit calculated under the Supplemental Plan as if such participant terminated employment on December 31, 2008. Each new SRP Participant in the Supplemental Plan will have an account balance benefit with an opening balance of zero.

Each SRP Participant’s account is credited with an allocation as of the last day of each calendar year if (1) the participant is considered a highly compensated employee for such year (for 2021 and 2022, had annual compensation in excess of $130,000 during the prior year), and (2) the participant has been credited with 1,000 hours of service during such year and is employed by us on the last day of such year, or has terminated employment during such year as a result of death, total and permanent disability, or retirement on or after age 65 with five years of service.

Each SRP Participant’s annual allocation depends on his or her employment status as of the last day of the calendar year. A SRP Participant who is a member of our corporate executive committee (group one), or who is a senior vice president, vice president, senior corporate associate, hotel general manager or any other individual who is designated as eligible for the SRP (group two), receives an allocation equal to a percentage of such participant’s compensation depending on such participant’s number of points. Points are determined by combining a participant’s age (as of his or her most recent birthday) and years of service as of the last day of a calendar year. The participant’s compensation for this purpose is his or her total direct compensation, excluding long-term performance cash amounts, for the period. The allocation for each participant in group one or group two shall equal the percentage of compensation as forth in the following table:


Points	Group One Percentage of Compensation	Group Two Percentage of Compensation
<60	2.0%	1.00%
60 – 69	2.5%	1.25%
70 – 79	3.0%	1.50%
80+	3.5%	1.75%

All accounts are credited quarterly with simple interest at the reference rate declared by Chase Bank N.A.

Each SRP Participant is 100% vested in his or her account upon termination of employment due to death or retirement on or after age 65 with five years of service or upon the occurrence of a total and permanent disability. In all other cases, an SRP Participant is vested in accordance with a graduated vesting schedule which provides for 50% vesting after five years of service and an additional 10% for each year of service thereafter. Each SRP Participant was required prior to December 31, 2008, to irrevocably elect the benefit payment date (or commencement date) and a form of payment for his or her account. Each new SRP Participant is required to make this election within the first 30 days of his or her participation date. Thereafter, every five years (e.g., 2020, 2025, 2030), a participant may make a new irrevocable election to apply to the allocations made to his or her account in the subsequent five years. An SRP Participant’s vested account will be paid on the later of his or her separation from service or the age elected by him or her, which must not be earlier than age 60 or later than age 65, or upon a total and permanent disability. An SRP Participant may elect to have his or her vested account paid in a single lump sum payment or installment payments over a number of years selected by the participant (not more than 10). If no election is made, an SRP Participant’s vested account will be paid in the form of a lump sum at the participant’s attainment of age 65, or separation from service, if later.

Executive Long Term Disability Plan

Our Executive Long Term Disability Plan provides supplemental long term disability insurance coverage for certain of our senior employees, including our named executive officers. The long term disability benefits that we provide under our Executive Long Term Disability Plan are in addition to any long term disability benefits that we provide to our employees generally and are fully insured under one or more individual insurance policies that we issue to each participant in the Executive Long Term Disability Plan. We are the named fiduciary for benefit claims under our Executive Long Term Disability Plan, and we have the right to determine all claims and appeals relating to the benefits that we provide under our Executive Long Term Disability Plan.

Perquisites

While our named executive officers may from time to time use certain of our properties for personal reasons, we generally incur no, or in some cases only nominal, incremental costs associated with such usage. We encourage our executive officers to personally use our properties because we believe that it is very important for our executives to be intimately familiar with our properties, our service and product offerings, and our markets. We believe that such personal hands-on experiences help us to enhance our customer services and be better positioned to understand, manage and operate our businesses. We otherwise provide only nominal perquisites to our named executive officers. No perquisites that we provided in fiscal 2021 to any named executive officer, individually or in the aggregate, had an incremental cost to us of in excess of $10,000.

Executive Stock Ownership and Anti-Hedging Policy

We have not adopted any executive or director stock ownership guidelines, although, as of the Record Date, the Marcus family beneficially owned approximately 24.1% of our outstanding shares and comprised the largest shareholder group in our company. Our other named executives each beneficially own significant amounts of our Common Shares through direct stock ownership, restricted stock awards and stock option grants. As of the Record Date, Messrs. Neis, Kissinger and Rodriguez beneficially owned 186,971, 218,904 and 188,780 shares, respectively. As a result, we believe

that our senior management team’s financial interests are significantly and directly aligned with the economic interests of our shareholders without the necessity of imposing arbitrary stock ownership guidelines. We have adopted a policy prohibiting our directors, executive officers and substantial shareholders from trading in puts, calls and other derivative securities relating to our Common Shares. Our policy also prohibits our directors, executive officers and substantial shareholders from engaging in hedging or pledging transactions relating to our Common Shares. We believe that hedging against losses in our Common Shares breaks the alignment between our shareholders and our executives that the equity grants described in this CD&A are intended to build.

Impact of Tax, Accounting and Dilution Considerations

Section 162(m) of the Code limits our tax deduction for compensation paid to certain covered employees, generally including our named executive officers, to $1 million per year per covered employee. However, our Compensation Committee reserves the right to provide compensation that is not fully tax-deductible under Section 162(m) to the extent it believes such compensation is necessary to continue to provide competitive arrangements intended to attract and retain, and provide appropriate incentives to, qualified officers and other key employees.

In addition to Section 162(m) deductibility considerations, our Compensation Committee carefully considers the accounting and financial reporting expenses associated with our grants of equity-based awards. We also consider the relative level of potential dilution to our shareholders resulting from such grants. As a result, we attempt to maintain an annual equity-based grant burn rate level of approximately 1-2% of our fully-diluted outstanding Common Shares.

(1)Reflects the grant date fair value of the restricted stock awarded as determined using the closing sale price of our Common Shares on such date. The amount was computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718.

(2)Reflects the grant date fair value of the options awarded as determined using the closing sale price of our Common Shares on such date. The amount was computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. The assumptions made in the valuations are discussed in Footnote 9 to our fiscal 2021 financial statements.

(3)Reflects cash awards earned under the performance cash component of our long-term incentive plan in connection with our achievement of the specific performance targets described above in the CD&A under “Long-Term Incentive Awards.” Amounts in 2019 also reflect cash bonuses earned under our incentive bonus plan in connection with our achievement of the specific performance targets described above in the CD&A under “Cash Bonuses.” There were no cash bonuses earned under our incentive bonus plan in 2021 and 2020.

(4)The numbers in this column reflect the sum of (a) the aggregate change in the actuarial present value of accumulated benefits under our Supplemental Plan from the plan measurement date used for financial statement reporting purposes with respect to the applicable fiscal year to the plan measurement date used for financial statement reporting purposes with respect to the applicable fiscal year, and (b) above-market earnings in our Deferred Compensation Plan. The change in the present value of Mr. S. Marcus’, Mr. G. Marcus’, Mr. Neis’ and Mr. Kissinger’s benefits under the Supplemental Plan for fiscal 2021 were negative numbers ($313,000, $263,000, $201,000 and $74,000, respectively), due primarily to an increase in the assumed discount rate used to calculate the actuarial present value. Consistent with the SEC’s disclosure requirements, we treated these numbers as zero for the purposes of this table. The change in present value of accumulated benefits under our Supplemental Plan during fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019 was due to a decrease in the assumed discount rate used to calculate the actuarial present value and changes in pay levels.

(5)$300,127, $311.670, and $300,127, of the amount in this column for Mr. Stephen Marcus represents payments received under our Supplemental Plan in fiscal 2021, 2020 and fiscal 2019, respectively.

(6)We paid $9,448, $8,663, $8,162 and $11,594 in premiums in fiscal 2021 under our Executive Long Term Disability Plan on behalf of Messrs. Greg Marcus, Neis, Kissinger and Rodriguez, respectively.

Grants of Plan-Based Awards

We maintain our 1995 Equity Incentive Plan, 2004 Equity and Incentive Awards Plan and our Long Term Incentive Plan, pursuant to which grants of restricted stock, stock options, performance stock awards and performance cash awards may be made to our named executive officers (other than Mr. Stephen Marcus, who is not eligible to receive any equity-based awards under our equity plans), as well as other employees. The following table sets forth information regarding all such incentive plan awards that were granted to our named executive officers in fiscal 2021. The amounts set forth below should not be added to amounts set forth in the Summary Compensation Table.
