EX-10.1

Luby’s Fiscal 2021 Year End Estimated Net Assets in Liquidation

Increased to $5.00 per Share (of which $2.00 was paid on November 1, 2021)

HOUSTON, TX – November 19, 2021- Luby’s, Inc. (NYSE: LUB) (“Luby’s”) which is in the process of monetizing its assets for the benefit of its shareholders, announced today its financial results for the fiscal year ended August 25, 2021.

Financial Results

Liquidation Basis of Accounting

As a result of Luby’s shareholder approval of its plan of liquidation on November 17, 2020, effective November 19, 2020, in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the Company began reporting its financial results on the liquidation basis of accounting.The liquidation basis of accounting requires, among other things, that management estimates net sales proceeds on an undiscounted basis, as well as include in the Company’s assets and liabilities the undiscounted estimate of future revenues and expenses through the end of the liquidation.Based on the liquidation basis of accounting, the net assets in liquidation at August 25, 2021 are currently estimated to result in total aggregate liquidating distributions of $5.00 per common share based on the number of common shares outstanding on that date. On November 1, 2021, the Company paid a cash liquidating distribution of $2.00 per common share, reducing the estimate of future liquidating distributions to $3.00 per common share as of the date of this release. This updated estimate of future liquidating distributions represents an increase of $0.87 per share compared to last quarter’s estimate owing primarily to actual realization from completed real estate transactions as well as achieving better operating results than previously forecasted.This estimate of future liquidating distributions includes projections of sales proceeds and net operating revenues to be received and costs and expenses to be incurred, including costs to dispose of the Company’s assets to complete the plan of liquidation which is currently projected to be substantially completed by June 30, 2022, including any transfers to a liquidating entity at that time.

There is inherent uncertainty with these projections, and accordingly, these projections could change materially based on a number of factors both within and outside of Luby’s control. There can be no assurance that these estimated values will be realized.Such amounts should not be taken as an indication of the timing or the amount of future distributions or our actual dissolution.

The current estimate of net assets in liquidation at August 25, 2021 has been estimated based on undiscounted cash flow projections and assumes a final liquidation on June 30, 2022 (including transfers to a liquidating entity) even though the actual timing of the sale of the Company’s remaining operating businesses and real estate holdings cannot be determined with any specificity at this time.As such, the final liquidation of the Company is subject to future events and uncertainties.Liabilities are carried at their contractual amounts due as adjusted for the impact of timing of the planned liquidation.It is not possible to predict with certainty the timing or aggregate amount which may ultimately be distributed to our shareholders and no assurance can be given that the distributions will equal or exceed the estimate presented in this release.

Asset Sales

During fiscal year 2021, the Company closed on the sale of the Fuddruckers franchise brand.Subsequent to fiscal year end, the Company closed on the sale of the Luby’s Cafeteria brand and 35 restaurants.

During fiscal year 2021, the Company closed on the sale of 11 real estate assets for total gross proceeds of approximately $32.1 million.Subsequent to fiscal year end the Company sold an additional 30 real estate assets for total gross proceeds of approximately $101.0 million.Proceeds from property sales have been used primarily to fully repay the Company’s outstanding debt balance and to make a cash liquidating distribution to its shareholders.

The Company currently owns 24 real estate assets, of which 12 are operating locations and 12 are vacant. The Company currently has 14 Luby’s Cafeterias and six Fuddruckers (including 2 combo units) which are managed by third parties as the Company pursues disposition options for owned properties and leases.In addition, the Company currently operates Culinary Services at 25 locations, while pursuing a sale of this business as part of its liquidation plan.

Distributions

On November 1, 2021, the Company paid a cash liquidating distribution of $2.00 per common share to stockholders of record as of October 25, 2021.
