Shreiber, its Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, on
Monday, November 17 at a purchase price of $27.90 per share, and
has subsequently retired the shares. The purchase price which was a
6% discount to the market was determined by the Board of Directors

transaction, Mr. Shreiber owns approximately 3.9 million of the

personal holdings of J & J common stock, I have sold 400,000
shares for estate and tax planning purposes. The sale is in no way
a reflection of my thoughts about�the Company or its future, either
over the short or long term. I still own 3.9 million shares, or
approximately 21% of the outstanding shares of J & J. The Board
of Directors of J & J Snack Foods,�without my vote or presence,
