Nathan's Announces Proposed Offering of Senior Secured Notes due 2025

JERICHO, N.Y. - Oct. 17, 2017 // PRNewswire // - Nathan's Famous, Inc. (NASDAQ: NATH) ("Nathan's") announced today that it intends to offer, subject to market and other conditions, $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Notes due 2025 (the "Notes") in a private offering. The Notes are being offered only to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. The interest rate and other terms of the Notes will be determined based on prevailing market conditions.

Nathan's intends to use the net proceeds of the Notes offering to satisfy and discharge the indenture relating to its 10.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2020 (the "2020 Notes") and redeem such notes (the "Redemption"), to pay a portion of a $5.00 per share cash dividend to Nathan's stockholders of record and to use any remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including working capital. Nathan's estimates that the redemption payment in connection with the Redemption will be approximately $144,037,500. Nathan's will also fund the contemplated $5.00 per share cash dividend through its existing cash and cash equivalents. Prior to the closing of the Notes offering, Nathan's intends to issue a notice of redemption with respect to the full aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes. The Redemption shall be conditioned upon, among other things, the closing of the Notes offering and shall occur on the redemption date set forth in the notice of redemption. If the Notes offering is consummated, the Nathan's board of directors will set the record date and the payment date of the dividend following closing.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes, nor shall there be any sale of the Notes in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. Any offers of the Notes will be made only by means of a private offering memorandum. The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
