(NYSE:JBX) today said that it has reviewed the Oct. 3, 2008, press release of Western Sizzlin Corporation (NASDAQ:WEST) announcing its intent to offer an exchange of up to 680,500 shares of JBX stock for WEST stock. This represents only 1.2 percent of JBX shares outstanding at the end of the company's third quarter. |

Until then, there is no action that either the company or its shareholders need to take in response to Western Sizzlin Corporation's announcement.
The exchange offer referred to in this press release has not commenced and this press release is neither an offer to buy nor an invitation to purchase any securities, or an offer to sell any securities. This release does not constitute a recommendation as to any tender or exchange offer that may be commenced, nor does it constitute a solicitation of any vote or approval that may be required.
Investors and security holders of Jack in the Box Inc. are urged to read any disclosure documents filed with the SEC, including any tender offer statement and/or registration statement filed by Western Sizzlin Corporation and Jack in the Box Inc.'s recommendation regarding such exchange offer when it is available because they will contain important information.
