Explanatory Note: This Amendment No. 2 (the “Amendment”) to the beneficial ownership report on Schedule 13D filed on January 11, 2016 (“Schedule 13D”), amends and supplements certain information set forth in the Schedule 13D. The Schedule 13D has previously been amended by Amendment No. 1 (July 8, 2021). References herein to the Schedule 13D describe the initial filing as so amended. Except as set forth herein, this Amendment does not modify any information previously set forth in the Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings assigned thereto in the Schedule 13D. The purpose of this Amendment is to disclose certain recent developments identified in Item 1 and to reflect an exit filing by the reporting persons.

Item 1.

Security and Issuer.

This statement relates to the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of J. Alexander’s Holdings, Inc., a Tennessee corporation (“JAX” or the “Issuer”), having its principal executive offices at 3401 West End Avenue, Suite 260, Nashville, Tennessee 37203.

This Amendment No. 2 is being filed in connection with the completion on September 30, 2021 (the “Closing Date”) of the previously announced merger (the “Merger”) contemplated by the agreement and plan of merger, dated as of July 2, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Issuer, SPB Hospitality LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”) and Titan Merger Sub, Inc., a Tennessee corporation and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”). On the Closing Date, Merger Sub merged with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer continuing as the surviving company. As a result of the Merger, the Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent and the Reporting Persons no longer beneficially own any Common Stock.

The Schedule 13D and all amendments thereto, including with respect to Items 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, are hereby amended by the foregoing.
