(1)	On October 26, 2026, Nathan's Famous Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), consummated the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated January 20, 2026 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among the Company, Smithfield Foods, Inc., a Virginia corporation ("Parent") and Boardwalk Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the "Closing"). Upon the Closing, each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company ("Common Stock") was cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive $102.00 in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding tax, under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.
(2)	The Option was cancelled upon the Closing in exchange for the right to receive a cash payment equal to $412,950, representing the difference between the exercise price of the Option and $102.00, multiplied by the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of the Option.
(3)	Excludes 250,000 shares held by Lorber Alpha II LP, for which the Reporting Person is a co-trustee of the beneficial owner of such entity. The Reporting Person does not have a pecuniary interest in the shares held by Lorber Alpha II LP.
