Attached is a memorandum from CEC Legal Department to CEC Employees Holding Stock Options Affected by 409A, dated April 20, 2007 (the “Preliminary Communication”) regarding a proposed tender offer pursuant to which CEC Entertainment, Inc. (“CEC Entertainment”) would offer to amend, at the election of the applicable option holder, certain portions of options to purchase CEC Entertainment’s common stock granted under the CEC Entertainment 1997 Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan that: (i) have exercise prices per share that were less than the fair market value per share of the common stock underlying the option on the option’s measurement date for financial accounting purposes, (ii) were unvested, either in whole or in part, as of December 31, 2004, and (iii) are still outstanding (unexercised) on the date the proposed tender offer expires (the “Eligible Options”). Option holders who elect to amend their Eligible Option(s) will sign an amendment to their existing option agreement with CEC Entertainment, pursuant to which portions of such options will generally continue to be subject to the terms and conditions of the option plan under which it was granted, including the same exercise and vesting schedule and expiration date, except that the amended option(s) will have a new exercise price and new deemed date of grant for financial reporting purposes. Option holders who elect to amend their Eligible Option(s) will also become entitled to receive a cash payment with respect to the amendment of such Eligible Options.

This Preliminary Communication does not constitute an offer to holders of options to purchase CEC Entertainment’s common stock to amend their Eligible Options. In the event CEC Entertainment’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approves the tender offer, the tender offer may be commenced at such time as determined in the discretion of the Board.

At the time the tender offer has commenced, CEC Entertainment will provide option holders who are eligible to participate in the tender offer with written materials explaining the precise terms and timing of the tender offer. Persons who are eligible to participate in the tender offer should read these written materials carefully when they become available because they will contain important information about the tender offer. CEC Entertainment will also file these written materials with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as part of a tender offer statement upon the commencement of the tender offer. CEC Entertainment stockholders and option holders will be able to obtain these written materials and other documents filed by CEC Entertainment with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission free of charge from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at www.sec.gov. In addition, stockholders and option holders may request a free copy of the tender offer statement and other documents related to the tender offer from CEC Entertainment following such time that such documents become available.
