FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Breeden Capital Management LLC Responds to Press Release Issued by Applebee’s International, Inc.
Greenwich, CT., March 9, 2007. Breeden Capital Management LLC, a Greenwich, CT., based investment fund manager, issued the following statement from Richard C. Breeden, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Breeden Capital Management, LLC, in response to the press release issued earlier today by Applebee’s International, Inc. (“Applebee’s”) (NASDAQ: APPB).
“We believe that the best way to improve Applebee’s declining performance and to reform unhealthy governance practices is for shareholder interests to have a strong voice in Applebee’s boardroom. Our discussions with Applebee’s failed to persuade us that their proposals were sufficient to effect the meaningful changes that we believe are required to increase long term shareholder value. In the coming election, shareholders will have a choice to vote for the four incumbents representing the status quo, or for our four nominees seeking positive change.”
