(the &#x201C;Company&#x201D;), committed to a plan that will result in the Company incurring a reserve for cash charges of approximately $600,000 to $1.0 million, primarily related to one-time personnel costs in connection with its previously announced plan to sell and close Company-owned restaurants. The majority of these charges are expected to be recognized in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, with the remainder recognized through the second quarter of fiscal 2019, when the Company believes that it will have substantially completed its plan to sell or close its remaining Company-owned stores.</font>

			<font style="display:inline;color:#000000;font-size:10pt;background-color: #FFFFFF;">Statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K that are not strictly historical, including but not limited to statements regarding the timing or success of restaurant closings or refranchising plans and the future cash charges anticipated to be incurred, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, which may cause actual results to differ materially from expected results. Although the Company believes the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that its expectation will be attained. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company&#x2019;s expectation include ongoing refranchising negotiations, a future franchisee&#x2019;s plan to retain or not retain impacted employees, impacted employees&#x2019; voluntary termination prior to satisfying performance requirements, the ultimate approval and consummation of refranchising transactions and cash charges not currently contemplated.</font>
