Purchase Agreements

On September 19, 2024, The Marcus Corporation (the “Company”) entered into separate, privately negotiated purchase agreements (the “Purchase Agreements”) with certain holders of its 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Notes”). Under the terms of the Purchase Agreements, the holders have agreed to exchange $13.5 million in aggregate principal amount of Notes held by them for an amount in cash. The final aggregate cash repurchase price is subject to adjustment based on the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock, par value $1.00 per share, during the agreed upon measurement period and is expected to be approximately $19.9 million (or $15.3 million net of the estimated cash to be received by the Company in connection with the unwind of a portion of the capped call transaction as discussed below), assuming a volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock of $14.86 (which represents the closing price of the Company’s common stock on September 17, 2024) during such measurement period, plus accrued interest. These purchase transactions are expected to close on October 11, 2024, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

Holders of the Notes that participate in any of these exchanges may purchase or sell shares of common stock in the open market to unwind any hedge positions they may have with respect to the Notes or to hedge their exposure in connection with these transactions. These activities may adversely affect the trading price of common stock and the Notes.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Form of Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, and is incorporated herein by reference

Unwind Agreements

As previously disclosed, in connection with issuing the Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “Existing Capped Call Transactions”) with certain financial institutions (the “Existing Capped Call Counterparties”). In connection with the Purchase Agreements, the Company entered into unwind agreements substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2, with one or more of the Existing Capped Call Counterparties to terminate a portion of the Existing Capped Call Transactions up to the notional amounts corresponding to the amount of Notes exchanged, and for the Company to receive cash of approximately $4.6 million for settlement of the terminated Existing Capped Call Transactions. The final aggregate cash settlement price is subject to adjustment based on the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock, par value $1.00 per share, during the agreed upon measurement period. In connection with the termination of these transactions, the Company expects the Existing Capped Call Counterparties or their respective affiliates to unwind their related hedge positions, which may involve the purchase or sale of shares of common stock in the open market or other transactions with respect to common stock. This hedge unwind activity could offset or exacerbate the effects of the purchase, sale or other activity that holders of the Notes that participated in the repurchase transactions effect in connection with those transactions.

The above descriptions of the unwind agreements are a summary only and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Form of Unwind Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2, and is incorporated herein by reference.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K includes forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the effects of entering into the Purchase Agreements and the unwind agreements and completing the transactions contemplated thereby as described above. Forward-looking statements represent Marcus’ current expectations regarding future events and are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by the forward-looking statements, and there can be no assurance that future developments affecting Marcus will be those that it has anticipated. Among those risks and uncertainties are market conditions, including market interest rates, the trading price and volatility of the common stock and risks relating to Marcus’ business, including those described in periodic reports that Marcus files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

For additional information on these and other factors that could affect Marcus’ actual results, see the risk factors set forth in Marcus’ filings with the SEC, including the most recent Annual Report filed with the SEC on March 1, 2024. The forward-looking statements included in this Current Report on Form 8-K speak only as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, and Marcus does not undertake to update the statements included in this Current Report on Form 8-K for subsequent developments, except as may be required by law.

Exhibit 99.1

PURCHASE AGREEMENT

______ __, 2024

[●] (the “Undersigned”), for itself and on behalf of the beneficial owners listed on Exhibit A hereto (the “Accounts”) for whom the Undersigned holds contractual and investment authority (each Account, as well as the Undersigned if it is selling Outstanding Notes (as defined below), referred to hereunder as a “Holder”), enters into this Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”) with The Marcus Corporation, a Wisconsin corporation (the “Company”), as of the date first written above, pursuant to which the Company will purchase from each Holder the Outstanding Notes (as defined below) held by each Holder and specified on Exhibit A hereto for an amount in cash equal to the Cash Consideration (as defined in Exhibit A hereto).

On and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Article I: Purchase of the Existing Notes

Section 1.1 Purchase and Sale. On and subject to the terms set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing (as defined herein), the Undersigned hereby agrees to cause each Holder to sell and deliver to the Company the aggregate principal amount of the Company’s outstanding 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 specified for such Holder on Exhibit A under the heading “Purchased Notes” (such principal amount of notes, the “Outstanding Notes”), and in exchange therefor, the Company hereby agrees to pay to such Holder the Cash Consideration specified for such Holder on Exhibit A. The Outstanding Notes to be sold and delivered to the Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement for the Cash Consideration are referred to herein as the “Purchased Notes.” The transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the payment of the Cash Consideration and purchase and delivery of the Purchased Notes are collectively referred to herein as the “Transactions.”

Section 1.2 Closing. Subject to the satisfaction (or waiver by the applicable parties) of the conditions set forth in Section 4.1 below, the closing of the Transactions (the “Closing”) shall occur on _____, __, 2024, or such later date as mutually agreed in writing by the parties hereto (the “Closing Date”).

At the Closing, (a) each Holder shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Company all right, title and interest in and to its Purchased Notes (and no other consideration) free and clear of any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security interest, encumbrance, title retention agreement, option, equity or other adverse claim thereto (collectively, “Liens”), together with any documents of conveyance or transfer that the Company may deem necessary or desirable to transfer to and confirm in the Company all right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Notes free and clear of any Liens, and (b) the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to each Holder the Cash Consideration specified for such Holder on Exhibit A hereto, as specified on, and pursuant to the wire instructions provided by, each Holder on, Exhibit B hereto, which wire instructions shall be provided no less than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.

The exchange of the Purchased Notes for the Cash Consideration shall occur in accordance with the procedures set forth in Exhibit B hereto (the “Purchase Procedures”); provided, that no delivery of the Cash Consideration will be made until the Purchased Notes have been received for purchase in accordance with the Purchase Procedures and no accrued interest will be payable by reason of any delay in making such delivery.

For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of any delay in the Closing, the Company will not make any separate cash payment pursuant to this Agreement in respect of interest, if any, accrued and unpaid from and after the Closing Date for the Purchased Notes. Instead, such amounts will be deemed to be paid by the purchase by the Company of the Purchased Notes for the Cash Consideration. Delivery of the Purchased Notes shall be effected via one-sided Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) pursuant to the instructions set forth in Exhibit B hereto (it being understood that posting such request on any date before the Closing Date will result in such request expiring unaccepted at the close of business on such date, and such Holder will need to repost such withdrawal request on the Closing Date). All questions as to the form of all documents and the validity and

acceptance of the Purchased Notes will be determined by the Company, in its sole discretion, which determination shall be final and binding.

Article II: Covenants, Representations and Warranties of the Holders

The Undersigned further acknowledges that, if a Holder is not a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes, then the Company must be provided with the appropriate properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8, attesting to that non-U.S. Holder’s foreign status and certain other information, including information establishing an exemption from withholding under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreements entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b)(1) of the Code and any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement, treaty or convention among Governmental Authorities and implementing such Sections of the Code.

of the foregoing, the Undersigned on behalf of each Holder hereby represents that it is able to receive any Cash Consideration hereunder (including any amounts attributable to accrued and unpaid interest) without any U.S. tax and is entitled to provide U.S. tax forms and required attachments indicating the same (including, where relevant, any certifications indicating that the Holder fulfills the requirements of “portfolio interest exemption” as indicated in Exhibit C) and agrees to hold the Company and its agents harmless for the breach of such representation.

Section 2.8 Further Action.

Tax Matters

Backup Withholding Tax

Under U.S. federal income tax law, a Holder that disposes of Outstanding Notes for Cash Consideration generally must provide such Holder’s correct taxpayer identification number (“TIN”) on IRS Form W-9 ((available from the IRS at www.irs.gov) or otherwise establish a basis for exemption from backup withholding. A TIN is generally an individual holder’s social security number or a Holder’s employer identification number. If the correct TIN is not provided, certain payments made to such Holder may be subject to backup withholding tax (currently set at 24% of the payment). If a Holder is required to provide a TIN but does not have a TIN, the Holder should consult its tax advisor regarding how to obtain a TIN. Certain Holders are not subject to these backup withholding and reporting requirements. Non-U.S. Holders generally may establish their status as exempt recipients from backup withholding by submitting a properly completed applicable IRS Form W-8 (available from the IRS at www.irs.gov), signed, under penalties of perjury, attesting to such Non-U.S. Holder’s exempt foreign status. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against the Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding how to complete the appropriate forms and to determine whether they are exempt from backup withholding or other withholding taxes.

Portfolio Interest Exemption (for Holders That Are Not U.S. Persons for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes)

Under U.S. federal income tax law, a Holder that disposes of Outstanding Notes for Cash Consideration and is otherwise not eligible to provide an IRS Form W-9 may claim an exemption from U.S. withholding tax on payments or deliveries attributable to accrued and unpaid interest. Any Holder that claims such an exemption under the so-called “portfolio interest exemption” is hereby deemed to represent and certify (along with providing the applicable IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E) as set forth in Section C below. However, if the Holder is an intermediary, a foreign partnership or other flow-through entity, then the adjustments shown below in Section A and Section B below will be made to the representations in Section C:

A. The following representation will be provided as applied to the Holder:

a.record ownership under Clause I, and

b.the status in Clause II.

B. The following representations will be provided as applied to the partners, members or beneficial owners claiming the portfolio interest exemption:

a.beneficial ownership under Clause I,

b.the status in Clause II,

c.the status in Clause III, and

d.the status in Clause IV.

C. The following representation will be provided as applied to the Holder as well as the partners, members:

I. It is the sole record and beneficial owner of the Outstanding Notes in respect of which it is providing this certification.

II. It is not a “bank” (within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code).

III. It is not a “10-percent shareholder” of the Company (within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) or Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code).

IV. It is not a “controlled foreign corporation” (as such term is described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code) related to the Company (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code).

Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding how to complete the appropriate forms and to determine whether they are exempt from backup withholding or other withholding taxes.

UNWIND AGREEMENT dated as of _____ [•], 2024
Between The Marcus Corporation and [DEALER]

THIS UNWIND AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) with respect to the Capped Call Confirmations (as defined below) is made as of ___________ [•], 2024, between The Marcus Corporation, a Wisconsin corporation (“Company”) and [DEALER] (“Dealer”).

WHEREAS, Company issued $100,050,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Convertible Notes”) pursuant to an Indenture dated as of September 22, 2020 between Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee;

WHEREAS, in connection with the pricing of the Convertible Notes, Company and Dealer entered into a Base Capped Call Transaction (the “Base Capped Call Transaction”) pursuant to an ISDA confirmation dated as of September 17, 2020, which supplements, forms a part of, and is subject to an agreement in the form of the 2002 ISDA Master Agreement, pursuant to which Company purchased from Dealer [_________] call options (as amended, modified, terminated or unwound from time to time, the “Base Capped Call Confirmation”);

WHEREAS, in connection with the exercise of the option by the initial purchasers of the Convertible Notes, Company and Dealer entered into an Additional Capped Call Transaction (the “Additional Capped Call Transaction” and, together with the Base Capped Call Transaction, the “Capped Call Transactions”) pursuant to an ISDA confirmation dated as of September 18, 2020, which supplements, forms a part of, and is subject to an agreement in the form of the 2002 ISDA Master Agreement, pursuant to which Company purchased from Dealer [_________] call options (as amended, modified, terminated or unwound from time to time, the “Additional Capped Call Confirmation” and, together with the Base Capped Call Confirmation, the “Capped Call Confirmations”);

WHEREAS, on ______, 2024, the Company entered into purchase agreements relating to the cash purchase of $[40,000,000] aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes; and

WHEREAS, Company has requested, and Dealer has agreed, to full termination of the Additional Capped Call Transaction and partial unwind of the Base Capped Call Transaction;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of their mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby mutually covenant and agree as follows:

1.Defined Terms. Any capitalized term not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth for such term in the Capped Call Confirmations.

2.Termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Capped Call Confirmations, Company and Dealer agree that, effective on the date hereof, but subject to Company’s receipt of the Cash Settlement Amount (as defined below), [(i) the Additional Capped Call Transaction shall automatically terminate and all of the respective rights and obligations of the parties under the Additional Capped Call Confirmation shall be terminated, cancelled and extinguished and (ii) the Number of Options under the Base Capped Call Transaction shall be reduced to [•] and in connection therewith Dealer shall pay to Company the Cash Settlement Amount on the Payment Date (as defined below).]

3.Averaging Procedures.

a.The “Averaging Period” means the [_____ (_)] consecutive Scheduled Trading Days commencing on, and including, _________ [•], 2024 (each such Scheduled Trading Day, an “Averaging Date”).

a.(I) If Dealer determines, in good faith and a commercially reasonable manner, that an extension of the Averaging Period is necessary in light of existing liquidity conditions or is necessary in order for Dealer to be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with Dealer’s internal policies and procedures generally applicable to capped call transactions with similarly situated convertible note issuers entered into in connection with the pricing and issuance of convertible notes or Dealer’s related, commercially reasonable hedging transactions, then Dealer may add, in whole or in part, one or more consecutive Scheduled Trading Days immediately following the last scheduled day of the Averaging Period at such time to the Averaging Period as additional Averaging Date(s); and (II) whenever a Disrupted Day (whether in whole or part) occurs during the Averaging Period, Dealer may add, in whole or in part, the Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the last scheduled day of the Averaging Period at such time to the Averaging Period as an additional Averaging Date.

b.If any Averaging Date is a Disrupted Day in part or if any Averaging Date is a partial additional Scheduled Trading Day described in subsection (b) above, then the VWAP Price (as defined below) for such Scheduled Trading Day(s) shall be the market value per Share on such Scheduled Trading Day, as determined by Dealer in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner based on such sources as it reasonably deems appropriate using, if practicable, a volume-weighted methodology, for the portion of such Scheduled Trading Day for which Dealer determines there is no Market Disruption Event with respect to the Shares.

c.Dealer shall provide written notice (which notice may be in the form of an email) to Company of any determination that an Averaging Date is a Disrupted Day in whole or in part, or to extend the Averaging Period, in each case promptly on the day that such determination is made.

d.“VWAP Price” for any Scheduled Trading Day means the per Share volume-weighted average price as displayed under the heading “Bloomberg VWAP” on Bloomberg page MCS <equity> AQR (or its equivalent successor if such page is not available) in respect of the period from the scheduled opening time to the Scheduled Closing Time of the Exchange on such Scheduled Trading Day (or if such volume-weighted average price is unavailable at such time, the market value of one Share on such Scheduled Trading Day, as determined by Dealer in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner using, if practicable, a volume-weighted average method).

e.“Average VWAP” means the arithmetic average of the VWAP Prices for each Averaging Date during the Averaging Period.

f.Prior to 6:30 PM New York City time on the final Averaging Date, Dealer shall provide a report (in a commonly used file format for the storage and manipulation of financial data) to Company specifying the Cash Settlement Amount and the Payment Date (each as defined below) and setting forth in reasonable detail its calculation of the Average

VWAP, including the VWAP Price for each Averaging Date (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any VWAP Price calculated pursuant to subsection (c) above); provided, however, that in no event shall Dealer be obligated to share with Company any proprietary or confidential data or information or any proprietary or confidential models used by Dealer.

4.Cash Settlement Amount. The “Cash Settlement Amount” shall mean an amount of cash in U.S. Dollars determined by Dealer in good faith and a commercially reasonable manner pursuant to the table of hypothetical values for Average VWAP and corresponding values for the Cash Settlement Amount set forth in Schedule A attached hereto (using linear interpolation by Dealer to determine the Cash Settlement Amount for any Average VWAP not specifically appearing in but falling between the highest and lowest hypothetical values for Average VWAP set forth in Schedule A). In the event that the Average VWAP for the Averaging Period is greater than or less than the highest or lowest hypothetical values for Average VWAP, respectively, specified in the table set forth in Schedule A, Dealer shall determine the Cash Settlement Amount in good faith and a commercially reasonable manner using substantially the same methodology that would have been used to determine the Cash Settlement Amount had such Average VWAP fallen within the range of hypothetical values set forth in such table. If the Cash Settlement Amount is determined in the manner described in the preceding sentence, Dealer shall promptly provide Company a report (in a commonly used file format for the storage and manipulation of financial data) displaying in reasonable detail the method of such determination; provided, however, that in no event shall Dealer be obligated to share with Company any proprietary or confidential data or information or any proprietary or confidential models used by Dealer.

5.Settlement. One Settlement Cycle following the last day of the Averaging Period or, if such date is not a Clearance System Business Day, on the next Clearance System Business Day immediately following such date (the “Payment Date”), Dealer shall pay to Company, to the account specified in Section 9 hereof, in immediately available funds, cash in an amount equal to the Cash Settlement Amount.

6.[Reserved]

7.Representations and Warranties of Company. Company represents and warrants to Dealer (and agrees with Dealer in the case of Section 7(g)(ii)) on the date hereof that:
