ASHEVILLE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 12, 2013--Ingles Markets, Incorporated (NASDAQ: IMKTA) today announced that it has completed its previously announced $700 million offering of Senior Notes due 2023 in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933.

The unsecured Senior Notes bear interest at 5.75% and were issued at par.

Ingles intends to use a substantial portion of the net proceeds from the offering to purchase any and all of its $575 million outstanding 8.875% Senior Notes due 2017 (the "8.875% Notes") which are tendered in the tender offer and consent solicitation. Today the company paid $470.4 million consideration for the approximately $448.3 million aggregate principal amount of the 8.875% Notes that were validly tendered and accepted on or before June 11, 2013. To the extent not tendered in the tender offer and accepted by the company on or before June 25, 2013, the remaining $126.7 million of 8.875% Notes will be redeemed on or about July 1, 2013.

Ingles will use the remaining cash proceeds from the offering to repay certain other debt, fund capital expenditures and for general corporate purposes.

The Senior Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 and applicable state laws.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any security and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offering, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
