''Nathan's plans to supplement its growth strategies through acquisitions. On April 1, 1999, Nathan's became the new franchisor of the Kenny Rogers Roasters restaurant system as a result of its acquisition of the intellectual property rights of Roasters Corp. and Roasters Franchise Corp. Additionally, we have entered into a merger agreement with Miami Subs Corporation. The merger, which is subject to shareholder approval, is expected to increase the Company's revenues by approximately $20 million and add approximately 190 restaurants to the system.''
