This Amendment No. 19 to Schedule 13G with regard to The Marcus
Corporation is being filed on behalf of the undersigned to amend Item 4 of
the originally filed Schedule 13G. Except as expressly stated herein,
there have been no material changes in the information set forth in the
Schedule 13G.
Item 4. Ownership (as of the date of filing of this Amendment to
Schedule 13G):
(a) Amount Beneficially Owned: 4,930,069.45
(b) Percent of Class: 16.28%
(c) Number of shares as to which such person has:
(i) sole power to vote or to direct the vote: 1,052.45 Shares
(ii) shared power to vote or to direct the vote: 4,929,017
Shares
(iii)sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of:
1,052.45 Shares
(iv) shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of:
4,929,017 Shares
The 1,052.45 shares which Mr. Marcus has sole voting and
dispositive power result from his participation in The Marcus
Corporation's profit sharing plan. 4,623,929 of the reported beneficial
ownership of Common Stock results from the beneficial ownership of shares
of Class B Common Stock, which are convertible at any time into Common
Stock on a share-for-share basis. The percent of class figure assumes
conversion of all outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock into shares
of Common Stock. Since each share of Class B Common stock is entitled to
10 votes as opposed to 1 vote for each share of Common Stock, it is
extremely unlikely that Mr. Marcus would alone convert a significant
portion of his Class B Common Stock into Common Stock.
Mr. Marcus' beneficial ownership consists of:
(i) 1,052.45 shares of Common Stock resulting from Mr. Marcus'
participation in The Marcus Corporation's profit sharing
plan;
(ii) 3,381,605 shares of Class B Common Stock held by the Ben
Marcus and Celia Marcus Revocable Trust;
(iii)1,242,324 shares of Class B Common Stock held by the Celia
Marcus and Ben Marcus Revocable Trust; and
(iv) 305,088 shares of Common Stock held by the Ben Marcus and
Celia Marcus Revocable Trust.
