<p align=center>BRINKER INTERNATIONAL
ANNOUNCES TODD DIENER<br>
WILL RETURN TO PRESIDENT'S
ROLE AT CHILI'S GRILL &amp; BAR</p>





<p>DALLAS (June 7, 2005) --
Brinker International, Inc. (NYSE EAT), announced today that Todd Diener will
reassume the president's role at Chili's Grill &amp; Bar.&nbsp; Diener, a 23-year
veteran of the company, had been serving as interim president of the brand, as
well as Brinker's Chief Operating Officer.&nbsp;
He previously was Chili's president from 1998 to 2003.</p>

<p>&quot;Todd's track record in managing our
flagship brand is unparalleled,&quot; said Doug Brooks, Brinker President and
CEO.&nbsp; &quot;In our search to fill the position, it became evident that the most
uniquely qualified candidate was already within our organization.&nbsp; We're
very fortunate that Todd himself, after stepping back into the role on an
interim basis, expressed a desire to return to the brand full-time.&nbsp;His
leadership, as well as that of the management teams in place on the other
brands within our portfolio, gives me great confidence in both the immediate
and long-term future of this company,&quot; added Brooks.</p>

<p>&quot;I look forward to once again working
full-time with the outstanding team in place at Chili's,&quot; said Diener.&nbsp; &quot;The strategic initiatives they have
implemented have laid a solid foundation on which we can continue to grow the
brand and add meaningful value to our shareholders.&quot; </p>

<p>The company has no plans to fill the COO
position.</p>

<p>Brinker International either
owns, operates, franchises, or is involved in the ownership of 1,582
restaurants under the names Chili's Grill &amp; Bar, Romano's Macaroni Grill,
On The Border Mexican Grill &amp; Cantina, Maggiano's Little Italy, Corner
Bakery Cafe, and Rockfish Seafood Grill. &nbsp;</p>
