O’Charley’s Announces Intent to Voluntarily Delist from the Nasdaq Global Select Market

O’Charley’s Inc. has submitted written notice to the Nasdaq Global Select Market (the “Nasdaq”) of its intention to voluntarily delist its common stock, no par value, from the Nasdaq. The Company intends to file a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 30, 2012 to delist its common stock. The common stock will continue to be listed through May 9, 2012 and will no longer be listed on May 10, 2012. The Company intends to file a Form 15 with the SEC on or about May 10, 2012 in order to terminate the registration of the common stock under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and to notify the SEC of the automatic suspension of its public reporting obligations under Sections 13(a) and 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

As previously announced, Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (“Fidelity”), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Fred Merger Sub Inc. (“Merger Sub”), acquired approximately 86% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock following the successful completion of a tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) for all of the outstanding shares of common stock. Subsequent to Merger Sub’s exercise of its option to purchase newly-issued shares of common stock directly from the Company, Fidelity and Merger Sub acquired an aggregate ownership of over 90% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock on a fully-diluted basis. Pursuant to the previously disclosed Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 5, 2012, among Fidelity, the Company, and Merger Sub, Fidelity intends to complete its acquisition of the Company by effecting a short form merger (the “Merger”) on or about May 9, 2012 in accordance with the provisions of the Tennessee Business Corporation Act. Pursuant to the Merger, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Fidelity. Each share of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger that was not accepted for payment pursuant to the Tender Offer (other than shares held by Fidelity or any subsidiary of Fidelity, including Merger Sub, which shares will be cancelled without any conversion) will, at the effective time of the Merger, be converted into the right to receive $9.85 per share net to the shareholder in cash, without interest and less any required withholding taxes. As a result of the Merger, the Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fidelity and a trading market for the Company’s common stock will no longer exist. Additionally, upon the delisting, the Company will qualify to terminate the registration of its common stock under Section 12 of the Exchange Act and exit the SEC periodic reporting system. The common stock will not be listed or registered on another national securities exchange or for quotation in a quotation medium.

As of the date of the filing of the Form 15, the Company’s obligation to file certain reports under the Exchange Act, including Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K, will be immediately suspended, and other filing requirements will terminate upon the effectiveness of the deregistration, which should occur 90 days after the filing of the Form 15.
