Item 1.
Security and Issuer.
 
The undersigned hereby amends the Schedule 13D filing dated January 27, 1997 (the “Initial Filing”) as subsequently amended (as so amended, together with the Initial Filing, the “Schedule 13D”) with regard to the shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Shares”), of Nathan’s Famous, Inc. (the “Issuer” or the “Company”), a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, with its principal executive offices located at One Jericho Plaza, Jericho, New York 11753.
 
Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms contained herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Initial Filing.
 
This Amendment No. 12 shall be deemed to add disclosure to Item 3 and amend and restate in its entirety Items 5(a) and 5(b) of the Schedule 13D and amend Item 5(c).
 
The primary purpose of amending the Schedule 13D is to reflect the change in percentage ownership of Mr. Lorber due primarily to repurchases by the Company of its Common Stock subsequent to October 22, 2009, the date of the last 13-D amendment filed by Mr. Lorber.  In addition, subsequent to October 22, 2009, Options to purchase 22,500 Shares held by Mr. Lorber became exercisable or are exercisable within 60 days of the date hereof and 10,000 restricted Shares granted to Mr. Lorber after October 22, 2009 vested.
 
This statement hereby amends the Items identified below or the particular paragraphs of such Items which are identified below.
 
Item 3.
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
 
Item 3 is hereby amended to add the following:
 
Subsequent to October 22, 2009, Options to purchase 22,500 Shares (including options to purchase 12,500 Shares granted subsequent to October 22, 2009) either became exercisable or are exercisable within 60 days of the date hereof and 10,000 restricted Shares granted to Mr. Lorber after October 22, 2009 vested.
 
Item 5.
Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
 
Item 5 is hereby amended as follows:
 
Item 5 (a) is hereby amended and restated as follows:
 
The aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned Mr. Lorber is based upon 4,460,120 Shares outstanding, which is based upon 4,460,120 Shares outstanding as of June 7, 2013 as reported in the Issuer’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31,2013, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 14,2013.
 
As of the close of business on July 1, 2013, Mr. Lorber beneficially owns 1,004,100 Shares, representing 22.3% of the issued and outstanding Shares, which includes (a) options exercisable within 60 days to purchase an aggregate of 37,500 Shares and (b) 75,000 Shares owned by the Howard M. Lorber Irrevocable Trust (“Trust”).  Mr. Lorber disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares owned by the Trust.  The foregoing does not include options to purchase 12,500 Shares that are not exercisable within the next 60 days and 40,000 restricted Shares owned by Mr. Lorber, the rights to which have not yet vested.
 
Item 5(b) is hereby amended and restated as follows:
 
Mr. Lorber has sole power to dispose or direct the disposition of 929,100 Shares beneficially owned directly by him, which amount does not include the 75,000 shares owned by the Trust.  Mr. Lorber has sole power to vote or direct the vote of 929,100 Shares beneficially owned directly by him, including the 37,500 Shares underlying the exercisable options owned by him, which Shares are not yet issued and entitled to vote.  Mr. Lorber does not have the right to vote the 75,000 shares beneficially owned by the Trust.
 
Item 5(c) is hereby amended to add the following:
 
Since October 22, 2009, Mr. Lorber acquired 10,000 Shares due to the vesting of restricted stock granted to Mr. Lorber after October 22, 2009 and options to purchase 22,500 Shares (including options to purchase 12,500 Shares granted subsequent to October 22, 2009) became exercisable within 60 days of the date hereof.
