This proxy statement supplement is furnished by the Board of Directors of Brinker International, Inc. in connection with the solicitation of proxies for use at the annual meeting of shareholders on October 30, 2008 at 10:00 a.m. (Dallas time), and at any adjournment or postponement of that meeting. The meeting is to be held at the Cinemark 17 Theater, which is located at 11819 Webb Chapel Road, Dallas, Texas 75234. This proxy statement supplement amends and supplements our proxy statement dated September 11, 2008.
As set forth in the September 11, 2008 proxy statement, you are able to access Brinker's proxy statement, 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K and FY 2008 Annual Report at www.brinker.com. You may simply click on the "For Investors" tab on the home page, and then the "Financial Information" link in the left column; the SEC filings section of our website will be available for your usage. If you received a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, you may also access this information at the website described in the Notice. The FY 2008 Annual Report and the Form 10-K are not considered part of the proxy soliciting materials.
On September 19, 2008, we identified an error in the statement of operations information for our most recently completed fiscal year which is set forth on page 76 of the electronic version of our 2008 Annual Report. We have promptly corrected the electronic version of this statement of operations so that it now conforms to the information which was filed with the SEC on our Form 10-K and which is also included as page F-13 of the 2008 Annual Report. Although the FY 2008 Annual Report has been corrected, copies of the report were mailed to shareholders who had requested paper copies of such report. Shareholders who received the erroneous copies of the 2008 Annual Report are urged to access the corrected report using the website referenced above. We will also provide you a free copy of the corrected FY 2008 Annual Report if you send a written request to the Company's Corporate Secretary at 6820 LBJ Freeway, Dallas, Texas 75240.
