ASHEVILLE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 11, 2013--Ingles Markets, Incorporated (NASDAQ: IMKTA) (“Ingles” or the “Company”) announced today the preliminary results in connection with its previously announced tender offer and consent solicitation (the “Offer”) for its 8 7/8% Senior Notes due 2017 (the “Notes”) (CUSIP No. 457030AG9). As of 5:00 p.m. New York City time on June 10, 2013, tenders and consents had been received from holders of $300 million in aggregate principal amount, representing approximately 52%, of the outstanding Notes.

Accordingly, the requisite consents of a majority to adopt the proposed amendments to the indenture governing the Notes have been received, and a supplemental indenture to effect the proposed amendments described in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated May 29, 2013 (the “Offer to Purchase”), has been executed. The amendments provided for in the supplemental indenture will become operative on the date that validly tendered Notes are purchased by Ingles pursuant to the Offer on the initial payment date. As the Company has executed the supplemental indenture, tendered Notes may no longer be withdrawn and consents delivered may no longer be revoked, except in the limited circumstances described in the Offer to Purchase.

Holders still have until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 11, 2013 (the “Consent Payment Deadline”), to tender to receive the total consideration which includes the $20.00 per $1,000 consent payment.
