~~Forward-Looking~~Item ~~Statements~~7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

This communication contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws. Such statements include statements concerning anticipated future events and expectations that are not historical facts. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “target,” “estimate,” “continue,” “positions,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “forecast,” “guidance,” “goal,” “objective,” “prospects,” “possible” or “potential,” by future conditional verbs such as “assume,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “could” or “may,” or by variations of such words or by similar expressions or the negative thereof. Actual results may vary materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements based on a number of factors, including, without limitation: (1) risks related to the consummation of the merger, including the risks that (a) the merger may not be consummated within the anticipated time period, or at all, (b) the parties may fail to obtain stockholder approval of the merger agreement, (c) the parties may fail to secure the termination or expiration of any waiting period applicable under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, (d) other conditions to the consummation of the merger under the merger agreement may not be satisfied, and (e) the significant limitations on remedies contained in the merger agreement may limit or entirely prevent Bojangles’ from specifically enforcing obligations of Walker Parent, Inc., an investment vehicle of Durational Capital Management LP and The ~~Jordan~~disclosure ~~Company, L.P. (Parent)~~ under ~~the~~Item ~~merger agreement or recovering damages for any breach by Parent; (~~2~~) the~~.02 ~~effects that any termination~~ of ~~the~~this ~~merger~~Current agreement may have on Bojangles’ or its business, including the risks that (a) Bojangles’ stock price may decline significantly if the merger is not completed, (b) the merger agreement may be terminated in circumstances requiring Bojangles’ to pay Parent a termination fee, or (c) the circumstances of the termination, including the possible imposition of a 12-month tail period during which the termination fee could be payable upon certain subsequent transactions, may have a chilling effect on alternatives to the merger; (3) the effects that the announcement or pendency of the merger may have on Bojangles’ and its business, including the risks that as a result (a) Bojangles’ business, operating results or stock price may suffer, (b) Bojangles’ current plans and operations may be disrupted, (c) Bojangles’ ability to retain or recruit key employees may be adversely affected, (d) Bojangles’ business relationships (including, customers, franchisees and suppliers) may be adversely affected, or (e) Bojangles’ management’s or employees’ attention may be diverted from other important matters; (4) the effect of limitations that the merger agreement places on Bojangles’ ability to operate its business, return capital to stockholders or engage in alternative transactions; (5) the nature, cost and outcome of pending and future litigation and other legal proceedings, including any such proceedings related to the merger and instituted against Bojangles’ and others; (6) the risk that the merger and related transactions may involve unexpected costs, liabilities or delays; (7) other economic, business, competitive, legal, regulatory, and/or tax factors; and (8) other factors described under the heading “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of Bojangles’ Annual Report on Form 108-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, as updated or supplemented by subsequent reports that Bojangles’ has filed or files with the SEC.
