Exhibit 99.1

Selected Financial Information Provided to Prospective Debt Financing Sources

Description of Transaction

On December 20, 2013, Arden Group, Inc. (the “Registrant” or the “Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with GRCY Holdings, Inc. (“Parent”) and GRCY Acquisition, Inc. (“Merger Sub”) providing for the merger, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, of Merger Sub with and into Registrant with Registrant continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”). Parent and Merger Sub are affiliates of TPG Capital, L.P. (the “Sponsor”) and were formed solely for the purposes of executing the Merger Agreement and facilitating the Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, the merger consideration will consist of cash in an amount of $126.50 per share of Registrant’s Class A Common Stock, par value $0.25 per share (the “Common Stock”), without interest.      

Parent expects the total amount of funds necessary for Parent to complete the Merger and the related transactions, including the payment of related fees and expenses, will be approximately $402 million, which it anticipates paying through a combination of a $150 million senior term loan, $75 million in senior unsecured notes and an equity investment from TPG Partners VI, L.P. (“Fund VI”) or other parties to whom Fund VI may assign a portion of its equity commitment. In connection with the proposed senior secured debt portion of the financing, Registrant intends to make a presentation to lenders and prospective lenders (the “Lender Presentation”).

Included in the Lender Presentation is a presentation of “Adjusted EBITDA.” “Adjusted EBITDA” as presented represents operating income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and includes adjustments for stock appreciation rights compensation expense (income), chairman expenses, certain public company expenses, transaction related costs, store closures/openings, CBA bonus, loss (gain) on exit activities and workers compensation reserve adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to results of operations or cash flow as determined by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), and our calculations thereof may not be comparable to that reported by other companies. We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it may provide useful information regarding our ability to service and/or incur indebtedness. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. For example, Adjusted EBITDA:

•     does not reflect our historical or future requirements for capital expenditures;

•     does not reflect changes in our working capital needs;

•     excludes income tax payments that represent a reduction in cash available to us;

•     includes adjustments for income and expenses that may or may not be applicable to future periods; and

•     may be calculated differently by other companies in our industry, thereby limiting the usefulness as a comparative measure.
