On April 21, 2011, Julie Michelsen and Tim Enochs filed a purported class action in the Court
of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania against Tasty Baking, its directors, Parent
and Flowers Bakeries, in connection with the proposed Merger. The lawsuit also alleges a derivative
claim on behalf of Tasty Baking. This complaint alleges, among other things, that the defendants
breached and/or aided and abetted the breach of fiduciary duties owed to Tasty Baking by its
directors. Plaintiffs claim that the sale of Tasty Baking was accomplished through an allegedly
unfair and inadequate process and that certain defendants engaged in the waste of Tasty Baking
assets. The suit seeks equitable relief that would delay or enjoin the Merger based on allegations
regarding the process by which offers or potential offers were evaluated by Tasty Baking, damages
to the plaintiffs based upon alleged improper benefits received by defendants and attorney fees and
expenses.
On April 27, 2011, Paul F. Ringheiser III filed a purported class action in the Court of
Common Pleas of Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania against Tasty Baking, its directors, Parent and
Flowers Bakeries, in connection with the proposed Merger. The lawsuit also alleges a derivative
claim on behalf of Tasty Baking. This complaint alleges, among other things, that the defendants
breached and/or aided and abetted the breach of fiduciary duties owed to Tasty Baking by its
directors. Plaintiffs claim that the sale of Tasty Baking was accomplished through an allegedly
unfair and inadequate process and that certain defendants engaged in the waste of Tasty Baking
assets. The suit seeks equitable relief that would delay or enjoin the Merger based on allegations
regarding the process by which offers or potential offers were evaluated by Tasty Baking, damages
to the plaintiffs based upon alleged improper benefits received by defendants and attorney fees and
expenses.
On
April 29, 2011, a shareholder of Tasty Baking filed a derivative
action styled, Taylor v. Pizzi,
et al., Case No. 11-05-00004 in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania
against Tasty Baking, its directors, Parent, and Flowers Bakeries in connection with the proposed
Merger. The complaint alleges, among other things, that Tasty Bakings directors breached their
fiduciary duties owed to the company by (i) engaging in self dealing, (ii) failing to make certain
material disclosures to the shareholders in the companys April 21, 2011 Schedule 14D-9; (iii)
failing to maximize the value of Tasty Baking by recommending that the shareholders accept the
tender offer at an unfair price; and (iv) putting the interest of Parent ahead of the interests of
Tasty Baking. The complaint further alleges that the Tasty Baking directors wasted corporate
assets by entering into the Merger Agreement. Flowers Bakeries and Tasty Baking are
alleged to have aided and abetted the alleged breaches of fiduciary duty. The complaint seeks,
among other things, a declaration that the action is properly maintainable as a derivative action,
equitable relief that would delay or enjoin the Merger, damages to the plaintiffs based upon
alleged improper benefits received by defendants, and the award of plaintiffs costs, including
attorneys and experts fees.
Parent believes these allegations are without merit, and is defending the actions vigorously.
The absence of an injunction or court order preventing the consummation of the transaction is a
condition to Parents obligation to complete the Offer pursuant to the Merger Agreement.
