     The Schedule 13D filed on May 18, 2000 by Lonnie J. Stout II, an individual resident of the state of Tennessee, relating to the Common Stock, par value $0.05 per share (the “Common Stock”), of J. Alexander’s Corporation, a Tennessee corporation (the “Issuer”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on April 12, 2001 (the “Schedule 13D”), is hereby amended and supplemented as set forth below by this Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D.
Item 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
     On May 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. 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. Stout.
Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction.
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
     There are no changes to the representations included in Schedule 13D other than to reflect modifications to the Issuer’s employee benefit plans for which Mr. Stout is eligible to participate. As of December 31, 2006, all employee loans referenced in the Schedule 13D under the Issuer’s 1999 Employee Loan Program were repaid and Mr. Stout is no longer eligible to participate in the program. Additionally, the Issuer has adopted an Amended and Restated 2004 Equity Incentive Plan under which Mr. Stout is eligible to receive grants of Common Stock or derivative securities.
     On May 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 purpose of the transaction was for the benefit of the Issuer and the selling shareholder alone, and Mr. Stout disclaims any personal interest therein. Mr. 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. Stout.
