ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS. On April 2, 1996, Summit Family Restaurants Inc. (the "Company") entered into a Second Amendment to an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the "Merger Agreement") with CKE Restaurants, Inc. ("CKE") (the "Second Amendment"). The Second Amendment amends the Merger Agreement dated November 30, 1995, as previously amended January 24, 1996, between the Company and CKE. The Merger Agreement, as amended, provides for the merger of the Company with a wholly-owned subsidiary of CKE, with the Company being the surviving corporation. The execution of the Second Amendment and certain of its terms were publicly announced on April 2, 1996 in a news release included as Exhibit 20.1 to this Form 8-K. On April 4, 1996, CKE purchased 946,714 shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") of the Company from ABS MB (JB) Limited Partnership ("ABS") for $5.27 per share. The shares purchased by CKE represent 100% of the Company's issued and outstanding Preferred Stock, and approximately 16.5% of the Company's total issued and outstanding voting securities. On April 2, 1996 the Company's Board of Directors specifically approved the aquisition of the Preferred Stock by CKE as part of the Second Amendment and also approved a waiver of the Company's right of first refusal to purchase the Preferred Stock. CKE also acquired ABS' rights under the Registration Rights Agreement dated October 27, 1993 between the Company and ABS. The closing of the sale of the Preferred Stock by ABS to CKE was publicly announced on April 5, 1996 in a news release included as Exhibit 20.2 to this Form 8-K. The holder of the Preferred Stock has the right to appoint two members to the Company's Board of Directors. The two directors appointed by ABS, William L. Paternotte and Frederick L. Bryant, have resigned from the Company's Board effective April 4, 1996. At the present time the Company understands that it is CKE's intention to fill the two vacancies on the Company's Board upon consummation of the Merger Agreement, as amended. Page 2 of 4 3 ITEM 7.
