St. Louis, Missouri – November 27, 2012 - Post Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:POST) today announced that it has commenced an offer to exchange any and all of its outstanding $1,025,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 7.375% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “outstanding notes”) for a like principal amount of new 7.375% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “exchange notes”). The exchange offer has been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) pursuant to an effective registration statement on Form S-4 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Holders of these notes may exchange them for an equal principal amount of exchange notes.
Terms of the exchange notes are substantially identical to those of the original notes, except that the transfer restrictions and registration rights relating to the original notes do not apply to the exchange notes. Any notes not tendered will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest. The exchange offer is being conducted to satisfy Post’s obligations under the terms of the registration rights agreements entered into in connection with the issuance of the outstanding notes, and does not represent a new financing transaction. Post will not receive any proceeds from the exchange offer.
