NPC INTERNATIONAL, INC. ANNOUNCES RECEIPT OF REQUISITE CONSENTS

FOR SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES AND EXECUTION OF SUPPLEMENTAL

INDENTURE TO EFFECT PROPOSED AMENDMENTS

OVERLAND PARK, KANSAS (December 13, 2011) – NPC International, Inc. (the “Company”), announced today the results to date of its previously announced cash tender offer to purchase any and all of its outstanding $175.0 million aggregate principal amount of 9 ¹/2% senior subordinated notes due 2014 (CUSIP No. 629360AB4) and the related consent solicitation to amend the indenture governing the notes. The tender offer is being made in connection with the previously announced proposed 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”) and pursuant to an Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement and a related Consent and Letter of Transmittal, dated November 29, 2011 (the “Offer to Purchase”).

Prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 12, 2011 (the “Consent Deadline”), $170,391,000 aggregate principal amount of notes, representing approximately 97.37% of the aggregate principal amount of notes outstanding, had been validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the tender offer and consent solicitation. Also, 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 12, 2011, was the deadline for tendering holders to withdraw the tender of notes and delivery of consents. Accordingly, the Company has received consents sufficient to approve proposed amendments to the indenture governing the notes that 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 3 days. The Company and the trustee for the notes have entered into a supplemental indenture containing the proposed amendments to the indenture governing the notes, which amendments have become effective and will become operative only upon acceptance by the Company of the notes which were tendered prior to the Consent Deadline.

The tender offer remains open and 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 or earlier terminated.

Consummation of the tender offer is conditioned upon: (i) financing from a new senior secured credit facility and issuance of new notes on terms satisfactory to the Company, (ii) the closing of the Acquisition and (iii) general conditions. The exact terms and conditions of the tender offer and consent solicitation are specified in, and qualified in their entirety by, the Offer to Purchase and related materials distributed to holders of the notes.
