CBRL
GROUP COMPLETES
EXCHANGE OFFER FOR ITS
CONVERTIBLE
NOTES
Gives
Notice That New Notes Will Be Redeemed
LEBANON,
Tenn. - May 1, 2007
- CBRL
Group, Inc. (the “Company”) (Nasdaq: CBRL) announced
today that it has completed its offer to exchange a new issue of Zero Coupon
Senior Convertible Notes due 2032 (CUSIP No. 12489VAC0) (the “New Notes”) plus
an exchange fee for the Company’s Liquid Yield Option™
Notes
due 2032 (Zero Coupon—Senior) (CUSIP Nos. 12489VAB2 and 12489VAA4) (the “Old
Notes”). The exchange offer expired at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on
April 30, 2007. As of the expiration of the exchange offer, $375,931,000
aggregate principal amount at maturity of Old Notes, representing approximately
89% of the amount of Old Notes outstanding, had been tendered in exchange for
an
equal principal amount of New Notes. All Old Notes that were properly tendered
were accepted for exchange. The exchange of New Notes for Old Notes is expected
to take place on May 3, 2007. Following the consummation of the exchange offer,
there are outstanding $46,099,000 aggregate principal amount at maturity of
Old
Notes and $375,931,000 aggregate principal amount at maturity of New Notes.
The
purpose of the exchange offer was to issue, in exchange for Old Notes, New
Notes
with a “net share settlement” feature. Both the Old Notes and the New Notes are
convertible into 10.8584 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 in
principal amount at maturity. The net share settlement feature will allow the
Company, upon conversion of a New Note, to satisfy a portion of its obligation
due upon conversion in cash rather than with the issuance of shares of its
common stock. This will reduce the share dilution associated with the conversion
of the New Notes.

Note
Redemption
On
April
25, the Company announced that it had directed the trustee of the Old
Notes
to send
to all holders of Old Notes notice that the Old Notes would be redeemed on
June
4, 2007 (the “Redemption Date”). Today, the Company also directed the trustee of
the New Notes to send a notice to holders of the New Notes not later than May
4,
2007 that the New Notes would be redeemed on the Redemption Date. The redemption
price of both the Old Notes and the New Notes is $477.41 per $1,000 in principal
amount at maturity, which is the accreted principal amount of both the Old
Notes
and New Notes on the Redemption Date.
The
aggregate redemption price of the Old Notes and the New Notes, collectively,
will be approximately $201 million, assuming that no holders of either Old
Notes
or New Notes convert their notes into common stock. At any time up to two
business days prior to the Redemption Date, holders of Old Notes and New Notes
can convert either Old Notes or New Notes, as the case may be. The conversion
rate applicable to both the Old Notes and the New Notes is 10.8584 shares of
common stock per $1,000 in principal amount at maturity; however, in the case
of
the New Notes, the Company will settle its conversion obligations with a
combination of cash and shares of common stock, if any, in lieu of only shares.
Common stock will be issued upon conversion of the New Notes only to the extent
that the conversion value exceeds the accreted principal amount of the New
Notes. The conversion value generally will exceed the accreted principal amount
of the notes if the Company’s common stock trades at a price in excess of $43.97
per share.
This
press release is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to
buy
any securities. The Company recommends that holders of Old Notes and New Notes
obtain
current stock price quotations for CBRL common stock before deciding whether
to
convert their respective notes or accept the redemption
price. The
risks associated with converting the New Notes are described in the Exchange
Circular referred to below, a copy of which can be obtained from the Information
Agent. Holders of New Notes should carefully consider these risks before
deciding whether to exercise their right to convert New Notes.
The
Company indicated that it intends to repurchase, through open market purchases,
any shares of common stock that are issued in connection with the conversion
of
either the Old Notes or new Notes. The
Company will pay the redemption price of the Old Notes and New Notes as well
as
the purchase price for any shares of common stock that are issued in connection
with a conversion of any Old Notes or New Notes through a draw on its existing
delayed-draw term loan facility and cash on hand.
