Overland Park, Kansas (November 29, 2011) – NPC International, Inc. (the “Company”), announced today that in connection with the previously announced acquisition by NPC International Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, of all the outstanding membership interests of NPC Acquisition Holdings, LLC, which owns all of the outstanding capital stock of the Company (the “Acquisition”), it is commencing a cash tender offer to purchase any and all of its outstanding $175.0 million aggregate principal amount of 9 ½% senior subordinated notes due 2014 (CUSIP No. 629360AB4). The tender offer is being made pursuant to an Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement and a related Consent and Letter of Transmittal, dated November 29, 2011. The tender offer is scheduled to expire at 12:01 am, New York City time, on December 28, 2011, unless extended by the Company in its sole discretion (such time and date, as the same may be extended, the “Expiration Time”) or earlier terminated.

In conjunction with the tender offer, the Company will be soliciting consents to proposed amendments to the indenture governing the notes. The amendments would eliminate substantially all restrictive covenants and certain events of default and shorten the minimum period required to deliver notice of redemption of the notes to holders from 30 days to three days.

Holders that tender their notes will be required to consent to the proposed amendments, and holders that consent to the proposed amendments will be required to tender their notes. Tenders of notes may be validly withdrawn and consents may be validly revoked at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 12, 2011, unless extended by the Company in its sole discretion (such time and date, as the same may be extended, the “Withdrawal Deadline”). Tenders of notes and deliveries of consents made but not validly withdrawn prior to and tenders of notes and deliveries of consents made after, in each case, the Withdrawal Deadline may not be validly withdrawn or revoked unless the Company is required by law to permit withdrawal.

The total consideration offered is an amount, paid in cash, equal to $1,027.50 for each $1,000 principal amount of the notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the applicable Settlement Date (as defined below). The total consideration includes a consent premium of $27.50 for each $1,000 principal amount of notes accepted for purchase that were validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 12, 2011, unless extended by the Company in its sole discretion (such time and date, as the same may be extended, the “Consent Deadline”). Holders that tender their notes after the Consent Deadline but prior to the Expiration Time will be eligible to receive $1,000.00 for each $1,000 principal amount of notes validly tendered and accepted for payment, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the applicable Settlement Date.

The initial settlement date for the tender offer will be promptly following both the Consent Deadline and the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to consummation of the tender offer and the consent solicitation described below (the “Initial Settlement Date”). The final settlement date for the tender offer will be promptly after the Expiration Time (the “Final Settlement Date”; each of the Initial Settlement Date and the Final Settlement Date, a “Settlement Date”).
