Notice of Rescission of Redemption Issued by The Yankee Candle Company, Inc.

with respect to its Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017 and by YCC Holdings LLC

and Yankee Finance, Inc. with respect to their Senior Notes due 2016

Previously Announced Private Placement of Senior Notes Terminated

South Deerfield, MA—June 13, 2013—Notice was given of the rescission of the previously issued Redemption Notices of The Yankee Candle Company, Inc. (“Yankee Candle”) with respect to its $188 million in aggregate principal amount of its 9.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017 (the “Senior Subordinated Notes”) and by YCC Holdings LLC (“YCC Holdings”) and Yankee Finance, Inc. (“Yankee Finance” and collectively with YCC Holdings, the “Senior Notes Issuers”) with respect to their $315 million in aggregate principal amount of 10.25%/11.00% Senior Notes due 2016 (the “Senior Notes”). The consummation of each of the redemptions was conditioned on (i) the effectiveness of a proposed amendment to Yankee Candle’s $175 million senior secured asset-based credit facility to permit Yankee Candle’s entry into a new term loan facility and the issuance of new senior notes by Yankee Candle, (ii) receipt by Yankee Candle of gross cash proceeds from borrowings under its new term loan facility and the issuance of the new senior notes of at least $1,400 million in the aggregate and (iii) consummation of the other redemption and the repayment in full of Yankee Candle’s existing term loan facility. Yankee Candle and the Senior Notes Issuers announced that these conditions will not be met and that, as result, the previously issued Redemption Notices are rescinded and no Senior Subordinated Notes or Senior Notes will be redeemed.

Yankee Candle also announced that it has terminated the previously announced offering of $450.0 million of senior notes in a private placement transaction and that Yankee Candle does not intend to enter into a new term loan facility or to amend its asset-based credit facility, which were contemplated in connection with the consummation of the notes offering.
