Exhibit 99.1

ROI ACQUISITION CORP. ANNOUNCES THAT ITS SPONSOR AND ITS SPONSOR’S AFFILIATE WILL PURCHASE 1.65 MILLION SHARES OF ROI’S COMMON STOCK

NEW YORK, NY — May 20, 2013 — ROI Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: ROIQ; ROIQW; ROIQU) (“ROI”) announced today that ROI’s sponsor, Clinton Magnolia Master Fund, Ltd., and an affiliate of ROI’s sponsor, Clinton Spotlight Master Fund, L.P., will purchase an aggregate of 1.65 million shares of ROI’s common stock in connection with ROI’s proposed acquisition of EveryWare Global, Inc. (“EveryWare”).

Such purchases will be made (i) at the time of the closing directly from ROI in a private placement transaction at a purchase price of $10.00 per share and/or (ii) prior to the stockholder vote on the proposed acquisition in one or more private transactions from certain of ROI’s public stockholders who had previously exercised their right to request redemption of their shares of ROI’s common stock in connection with the proposed acquisition and who, with ROI’s consent, will withdraw such redemption requests prior to the stockholder vote, at a purchase price of $10.00 per share. At least 600,000 of the shares being purchased will be acquired from ROI in a private placement transaction. It is currently expected that, as result of the shares being purchased, the ownership percentages of ROI’s issued and outstanding common stock immediately following the closing of the proposed acquisition would be approximately as follows: (i) ROI public stockholders, 15.7%; (ii) ROI sponsor and affiliates, 16.5%; (iii) funds managed by Monomoy Capital Partners which are former EveryWare stockholders, 64.8%; and (iv) former EveryWare Stockholders other than funds managed by Momomoy Capital Partners, 3.0%.

All of the shares purchased by ROI’s sponsor or its affiliate will be subject to a 180-day lock-up on the same terms as the lock-up on the shares being issued by ROI to the stockholders of EveryWare in the proposed acquisition.

Any purchases of shares of common stock in a private placement transaction would offset an equal number of shares of common stock redeemed from public stockholders. ROI expects that the purchases of 1.65 million shares of common stock by ROI’s sponsor and its affiliate, together with the cash available in ROI’s trust account (following redemptions) and cash available from borrowings, will allow it to pay $90 million in cash consideration to the stockholders of EveryWare in the proposed acquisition.

Any common stock sold by ROI in private placement transactions will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. The proceeds from any such private placements will be used by ROI to fund a portion of the purchase price in the proposed acquisition. Any purchases from public stockholders will be made directly from such holders and will not be effected from or through a broker or dealer, on a securities exchange, or through an inter-dealer quotation system or electronic communications network.
