of J. Alexander&#146;s Corporation, a Tennessee corporation (the &#147;Issuer&#148;), as amended by Amendment No.
1 filed on April&nbsp;12, 2001 (the &#147;Schedule&nbsp;13D&#148;), is hereby amended and supplemented as set forth
below by this Amendment No.&nbsp;2 to the Schedule&nbsp;13D.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On May&nbsp;22, 2009, the Issuer entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with its largest
shareholder to purchase from the shareholder and its affiliate 808,000 shares of Common Stock in a
privately negotiated transaction. The purchased shares of Common Stock were purchased by the
Issuer exclusively with Issuer funds and were cancelled. Mr.&nbsp;Stout was not a party to the
transaction, but the transaction resulted in an increase to the percentage of Common Stock
beneficially owned by Mr.&nbsp;Stout.
