<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">On October 11, 2017, Ark Rustic Inn (d/b/a Rustic
Inn Crabhouse), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ark Restaurants Corp. (collectively, the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;) entered into a Settlement
Agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division, Immigration and Employee Rights Section (&ldquo;IER&rdquo;).
IER had charged that the Company had terminated an employee after he failed to present immigration status documentation in violation
of unfair immigration-related employment practices. IER concluded that the Company engaged in a pattern or practice of unfair documentary
practices based on citizenship status; however, IER lacked reasonable cause to believe the Company unlawfully terminated the former
employee.</P>
