National Vision Appoints Jose Armario to Board of Directors<\/b><\/p>\n

Brings Additional Business, Operations and Supply Chain Expertise to Board<\/i><\/p>\n

DULUTH, Ga.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nNational Vision Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: EYE), one of the nation\u2019s largest optical retailers providing quality, affordable eye care and eyewear, today announced the appointment of Jose Armario, chief executive officer and president at Bojangles\u2019, Inc., to its Board of Directors, effective today.

Following Armario\u2019s appointment, National Vision\u2019s Board consists of nine Directors, reflecting a gender balance among the eight independent members of the Board.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cI\u2019ve known Jose since the early \u201990s when we both worked in optics before his success with McDonald\u2019s and Bojangles,\u201d said Reade Fahs, CEO at National Vision. \u201cNot only have I admired his strength as an operator, but also as a leader fostering culture at each of his organizations. It is such a joy to be working together again.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nPrior to joining Bojangles, Armario spent 20 years at McDonald\u2019s serving most recently as the corporate executive vice president of Global Supply Chain, Sustainability, Development and Franchising, president Latin America and Canada, president and international relationship partner, Latin America, and president McDonald\u2019s de Chile. Early in his career, Armario served in several positions for LensCrafters where he oversaw the strategic plan for entry into China, Mexico and the Middle East.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThis is an exciting time to join National Vision,\u201d said Armario. \u201cI have long admired Reade\u2019s leadership and National Vision’s ability to impact people’s lives every day through providing affordable and accessible optical services. This resonates with my professional heritage of leading operations in a value-driven customer service segment. I look forward to bringing this expertise to the Board and being part of National Vision’s next chapter of success.”\n<\/p>\n

\nOriginally from Havana, Cuba, Armario was raised in Miami, Florida and earned his Associate of Arts degree in Business Administration from Miami-Dade Community College. He holds a Master of Science degree in Management from the University of Miami and a CEO Perspective Course completion from Northwestern University. He currently serves on the Boards of Bojangles, Golden State Foods and The Greg Olsen Foundation and is a member of the President’s Council of the University of Miami.\n<\/p>\n

\n“With Jose\u2019s appointment, we\u2019ve added three new Board members in the past five months, and we\u2019re excited by the collective expertise, diversity and range of perspectives our Board now includes,\u201d said Board chair Randy Peeler. “As National Vision looks to deepen our commitments to corporate responsibility, we are especially excited to gain Jose’s recognized expertise in this area.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
