Ark Restaurants Corp. ARKR announced today that it has entered into
a long term agreement with New Meadowlands Racetrack LLC to provide food and
beverage services for the new racing facilities being constructed at the
Meadowlands Racetrack in northern New Jersey. New Meadowlands Racetrack LLC
has a long term lease with the State of New Jersey and expects the new
facility to be open in mid-November. Ark's agreement extends to any future
development at the race track site. In conjunction with this agreement, Ark
will make an equity investment in New Meadowlands Racetrack LLC.
Ark also acknowledged receipt of a letter from Landry's, Inc. dated March 7,
2013. As previously announced, the Ark board of directors had carefully
reviewed with its independent financial and legal advisors Landry's
unsolicited proposal made in February—and unchanged in the March 7 letter—and
determined that it is inadequate, not compelling and not in the best interests
of Ark's shareholders taking into account, among other things, the Company's
future prospects and the ability of the Company's experienced management to
operate and grow the Company's business. In light of the foregoing, the board
of directors has no intention of waiving the applicability of the New York
takeover statute which is expressly intended to protect companies against
inadequate and potentially coercive unsolicited proposals such as that from
Landry's.
