Charlotte, N.C., Sept. 25 - Landry's Restaurants, Inc. stockholders will be asked to approve the company's merger with Fertitta Holdings, Inc. at a special meeting on Nov. 3 at 11 a.m. ET in Houston.

Record date for the meeting is Sept. 9, according to a schedule 14D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Tilman J. Fertitta is the chairman, president, chief executive officer and founder of Landry's, the filing noted.

Landry's said its board of directors recommends its shareholders vote in favor of the merger.
