“The plan also continues to provide for the potential to place the restaurant operations with new owners moving forward. We can now move forward in the most efficient manner in our goal to maximise value for our stockholders.”

Last week, proxy voting advisory company Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) recommended that Luby’s stockholders vote in favour of the plan. ISS stated the board’s assertion that dissolution is the most viable alternative is reasonable.

The company first announced the liquidation plan in September. It aims to generate $92m to $123m from the process.

The company operates 80 Luby’s and Fuddruckers locations in the US. Some of these restaurants are expected to remain open until the liquidation process is completed.
