HOUSTON, Jan. 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Luby's, Inc. (NYSE:LUB) ("Luby's" or the "Company") today announced that its Board of Directors has unanimously determined to amend its existing shareholder Rights Agreement (the "Rights Agreement"), adopted on February 15, 2018, in order to extend its expiration date from February 15, 2020 to February 15, 2021. The Board anticipates adopting the amendment on or about February 14, 2020 and intends to seek stockholder approval of the amendment as soon as practicable thereafter.

The Board had previously determined not to seek shareholder approval of the existing Rights Agreement at the Company's 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, to be held on February 5, 2020, because it had anticipated entering into a stockholders' agreement with its largest shareholders, Christopher J. Pappas, Harris J. Pappas and Pappas Restaurants, Inc. As the parties have not yet reached an agreement, the Board determined that it would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to extend the term of the Rights Agreement, but also to seek shareholder approval of the same.
