Item 5.03    Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On November 6, 2024, the Board of Directors of The Marcus Corporation (the “Company”) approved a change in the fiscal year end from a 52-53 week year ending on the last Thursday of December to a calendar year ending on December 31, effective beginning with fiscal year 2025. The Company expects to make the fiscal year change on a prospective basis and will not adjust operating results for prior periods. The change to the Company’s fiscal year will not impact the Company’s results for the year ended December 26, 2024. However, the change will impact the prior year comparability of each of the fiscal quarters and the annual period in 2025 and in future filings. The Company believes this change will provide numerous benefits, including aligning its reporting periods to be more consistent with peer companies.

Since the change in the Company’s year end is from a 52-53 week fiscal year to the last day of the month commencing within seven days of the month end last reported, and the new fiscal year will commence with the end of the old fiscal year, the change is not deemed a change in fiscal year for purposes of reporting subject to Rule 13a-10 or 15d-10; hence, no transition reporting is required.

The reporting periods and applicable Securities and Exchange Commission reports for the remainder of fiscal year 2024 and fiscal year 2025 are expected to be as follows:

Financial Reporting Impact

The change in the Company’s fiscal year end to a calendar year end results in no impact to fiscal 2024, and results in six additional operating days in the 2025 fiscal year as under a 52-53 week fiscal year (52 weeks in fiscal 2025). There will be changes in the number of operating days in the quarterly periods in 2025 as compared to the quarterly periods under a 52-53 week fiscal year which will have an impact on the Company’s quarterly financial results as well as the comparative presentation of period over period information.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains forward-looking statements, within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which reflect the Company’s current estimates, expectations and projections about the Company’s future results, performance, prospects and opportunities. These forward-looking statements may generally be identified as such because the context of such statements include words such as we “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect” or words of similar import. Similarly, statements that describe our future plans, objectives or


goals are also forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties which may cause results to differ materially from those expected, including, but not limited to, the following: (1) the adverse effects future pandemics or epidemics may have on the Company’s theatre and hotels and resorts businesses, results of operations, liquidity, cash flows, financial condition, access to credit markets and ability to service the Company’s existing and future indebtedness; (2) the availability, in terms of both quantity and audience appeal, of motion pictures for the Company’s theatre division (including disruptions in the production of films due to events such as a strike by actors, writers or directors or future pandemics); (3) the effects of theatre industry dynamics such as the maintenance of a suitable window between the date such motion pictures are released in theatres and the date they are released to other distribution channels; (4) the effects of adverse economic conditions in the Company’s markets; (5) the effects of adverse economic conditions on the Company’s ability to obtain financing on reasonable and acceptable terms, if at all; (6) the effects on the Company’s occupancy and room rates caused by the relative industry supply of available rooms at comparable lodging facilities in the Company’s markets; (7) the effects of competitive conditions in the Company’s markets; (8) the Company’s ability to achieve expected benefits and performance from the Company’s strategic initiatives and acquisitions; (9) the effects of increasing depreciation expenses, reduced operating profits during major property renovations, impairment losses, and preopening and start-up costs due to the capital intensive nature of the Company’s business; (10) the effects of changes in the availability of and cost of labor and other supplies essential to the operation of the Company’s business; (11) the effects of weather conditions, particularly during the winter in the Midwest and in the Company’s other markets; (12) the Company’s ability to identify properties to acquire, develop and/or manage and the continuing availability of funds for such development; (13) the adverse impact on business and consumer spending on travel, leisure and entertainment resulting from terrorist attacks in the United States, other incidents of violence in public venues such as hotels and movie theatres; and (14) a disruption in the Company’s business and reputational and economic risks associated with civil securities claims brought by shareholders. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond the Company’s control and difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements. The Company’s forward-looking statements are based upon the Company’s assumptions, which are based upon currently available information. Shareholders, potential investors and other readers are urged to consider these factors carefully in evaluating the forward-looking statements and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements made herein are made only as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K and we undertake no obligation to publicly update such forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances
