Corporate Background and our Parents

Sid Craig and Jenny Craig started the "Jenny Craig" concept in Australia in 1982. Jenny Craig Holdings, Inc. ("JC Holdings"), through both Jenny Craig, Inc. ("JO"), a direct subsidiary, and indirectly through other JCI subsidiaries, owns and operates Jenny Craig Weight Loss and Weight Management Centres ("Centres"); franchises others to own and operate Centres; provides weight-loss and weight management products and services through telephone consultations; procures and supplies food and other products for Jenny Craig Weight Loss Centres; leases Centres; and provides management and information systems services. Nestle Holdings, Inc., a subsidiary of Nestle S.A. ("Nestle"), a Swiss business company and world''s largest food and beverage company, headquartered in Vevey, Switzerland, acquired JC Holdings in July 2006, and Nestle is now our ultimate parent.

Until March 28, 2007, we were a subsidiary of Jenny Craig International, Inc. ("JC International"). On that date, JC International transferred ownership of us to Jenny Craig NA Franchising, Inc. (formerly known as JCCHI) ("JC NA Franchising"). JC International itself was merged into JCI on March 29, 2007.

As a result of the mergers and transfers described above, we are now a direct subsidiary of JC NA Franchising, which in turn is a direct subsidiary of Jenny Craig Weight Loss Centres, Inc., which in turn is a direct subsidiary of JCI. JCI is a direct subsidiary of JC Holdings, which in turn is a direct subsidiary of Nestle Holdings, Inc., which in turn is a direct subsidiary of Nestle. (Collectively, JC NA Franchising, Jenny Craig Weight Loss Centres, Inc., JCI, JC Holdings, Nestle Holdings, Inc. and Nestle are our "Parents").

Our Predecessors and Affiliates

Before November 2003, our predecessor and immediate parent company JC International held the right to franchise the Jenny Craig System in the U.S. and Canada. In November 2003, JC International, which was our direct parent, assigned its rights in the Jenny Craig franchise agreements that were then in effect in the U.S. and Canada to us, and we have been the exclusive franchisor of the Jenny Craig System in the U.S. and Canada since then. As of December 31, 2006, there were 93 franchised Centres in the U.S. (including all U.S. territories) and 9 franchised Centres in Canada

Before November 2005, JC International both owned and franchised Centres in Australia and New Zealand through subsidiaries. In November 2005, JC International entered into master franchise agreements with a master franchisee for Australia and New Zealand. As part of the November 2005 transaction, the master franchisee acquired the subsidiary that owned and operated Centres in Australia and New Zealand (JC International acquired the New Zealand Centres in 2003 from the Craigs). As of December 31, 2006, there were 99 Centres owned by the master franchisee in Australia and 17 Centres owned by the master franchisee in New Zealand. The master franchisee also subfranchises 20 Centres in Australia. On March 28, 2007, JC International transferred those master franchise agreements to our affiliate, Jenny Craig ANZ Franchising, Inc. (formerly known as Jenny Craig Australia Holdings, Inc.) ("JC ANZ").

Our affiliates Jenny Craig Products, Inc. ("JC Products"), also an indirect subsidiary of JCI, and Jenny Craig Operations, Inc. ("JC Operations") offer food and nutritional supplement products for use in Centres. Until December 31, 2007, another indirect subsidiary of JCI and affiliate, Jenny Craig Management, Inc. ("JC Management"), provided accounting and administrative services for us, including providing computer specifications and software for our franchisees, tracking franchisee payments, and administrating the billing of franchisees for food and nutritional products. JC Management also provided information systems and other management services to JC Holdings and its subsidiaries. JC Management was merged into JC Operations on December 31, 2007.

Except for JC International and The Haagen-Dazs Shoppe Company, Inc. ("H-D Shoppe Company"), a subsidiary of Nestle, none of our affiliates has offered franchises for sale in the U.S. or Canada. H-D Shoppe Company is the franchisor of H�agen-Dazs� ice cream shops in the U.S. H-D Shoppe Company has been offering franchises since July 1993, but does not offer franchises for the type of business that you will be operating. As of December 31, 2007, there were 258 HSagen-Dazs� shops operating in the U.S., all of which were owned by franchisees.
