      Announces Intent to Voluntarily Delist From NASDAQ Global Market</b></font>
    </p>
    <p>
      NASHVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--October 9, 2012--J. Alexander&#8217;s
      Corporation (NASDAQ:JAX) (&#8220;J.&#160;Alexander&#8217;s&#8221; or the &#8220;Company&#8221;) announced
      today that it has submitted written notice to the NASDAQ Global Market
      (&#8220;NASDAQ&#8221;) of its intention to voluntarily delist its common stock, par
      value $.05 per share, with associated Series A Junior Preferred Stock
      Purchase Rights, from NASDAQ. The Company intends to file a Form 25 with
      the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#8220;SEC&#8221;) on October 19, 2012
      to delist its common stock. The common stock will continue to be listed
      through October 28, 2012 and will be delisted on October 29, 2012. The
      Company intends to file a Form 15 with the SEC on or about October 29,
      2012 in order to terminate the registration of the common stock under
      Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
      &#8220;Exchange Act&#8221;), and to notify the SEC of the automatic suspension of
      its public reporting obligations under Sections 13(a) and 15(d) of the
      Exchange Act.
    </p>
    <p>
      As previously announced, Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (&#8220;Fidelity&#8221;),
      through its indirect, wholly owned subsidiary, New Athena Merger Sub,
      Inc. (&#8220;Merger Sub&#8221;), acquired approximately 90.5% of the outstanding
      shares of the Company&#8217;s common stock, on a fully diluted basis,
      following the successful completion of a tender offer (the &#8220;Tender
      Offer&#8221;) for all of the outstanding shares of common stock and Fidelity&#8217;s
      exercise of its option to purchase newly issued shares of common stock
      directly from the Company. Pursuant to the previously disclosed Amended
      and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of July 30, 2012
      among Fidelity, the Company, Merger Sub, and certain affiliates of
      Fidelity, as amended by that First Amendment to the Amended and Restated
      Merger Agreement dated as of September 5, 2012, Fidelity intends to
      complete its acquisition of the Company by effecting a short-form merger
      (the &#8220;Merger&#8221;) on or about October 29, 2012 in accordance with the
      provisions of the Tennessee Business Corporation Act. Pursuant to the
      Merger, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the
      Company continuing as the surviving corporation. Each share of the
      Company&#8217;s common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective
      time of the Merger (other than shares held by Fidelity or any subsidiary
      of Fidelity, including Merger Sub, which shares will be cancelled
      without any conversion) will, at the effective time of the Merger, be
      converted into the right to receive $14.50 per share net to the
      shareholder in cash, without interest and less any required withholding
      taxes. As a result of the Merger, the Company will become an indirect,
      wholly owned subsidiary of Fidelity and a trading market for the
      Company&#8217;s common stock will no longer exist. Additionally, upon the
      delisting, the Company will qualify to terminate the registration of its
      common stock under Section 12 of the Exchange Act and exit the SEC
      periodic reporting system. The common stock will not be listed or
      registered on another national securities exchange or for quotation in a
      quotation medium.
    </p>
    <p>
      As of the date of the filing of the Form 15, the Company&#8217;s obligation to
      file certain reports under the Exchange Act, including Forms 10-K, 10-Q
      and 8-K, will be immediately suspended, and other filing requirements
      will terminate upon the effectiveness of the deregistration, which
      should occur 90 days after the filing of the Form 15.
