      to the discussion under &#8220;Material United States Federal Income Tax
      Consequences of the Merger,&#8221; in connection with the filing of the
      registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus

      Middleby, has delivered an opinion to Middleby, and Paul,
      Hastings, Janofsky &amp; Walker LLP, counsel to TurboChef, has
      delivered an opinion to TurboChef, to the effect that for United
      States federal income tax purposes (i) the merger will qualify as a
      &#8220;reorganization&#8221; within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal
      Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (which we refer to as the Internal
      Revenue Code or the Code) and (ii) Middleby, Chef Acquisition Corp. and
      TurboChef will each be a &#8220;party to the reorganization&#8221; within the meaning
      of Section 368(b) of the Internal Revenue Code.&#160;&#160; Accordingly,
      for United States federal income tax purposes, United States holders
      of TurboChef common stock will recognize gain (but should not
      recognize any loss), and the gain recognized will be equal to the lesser
      of (i) any cash received (other than cash received in lieu of a fractional
      share of Middleby common stock) and (ii) the excess of (x) the sum of the
      cash received (other than cash received in lieu of a fractional share of
      Middleby common stock) and the fair market value of the Middleby common
      stock received over (y) the TurboChef common stockholder&#8217;s tax basis in
      the shares of TurboChef common stock exchanged.&#160;&#160;&#160;In
      addition, the TurboChef common stockholder will recognize gain or loss
      attributable to cash received in lieu of a fractional share of Middleby
      common stock.&#160;&#160; It is also a condition to each of Middleby's
      and TurboChef's obligation to complete the merger that they receive the
      aforementioned opinions from their respective counsel (or from the other
      party's counsel). &#160; Please refer to the section entitled &#8220;The

following selected unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements
were prepared using the purchase method of accounting with Middleby treated as
the acquiring entity and reflect adjustments, which are based upon preliminary
estimates, to allocate the estimated purchase price to TurboChef&#8217;s assets
acquired and liabilities assumed. The following unaudited pro forma condensed
combined financial statements are based on TurboChef stockholders receiving
0.0486 of a share of Middleby common stock and $3.67 in cash for each share of
TurboChef common stock in the merger. The purchase price allocation reflected
herein is preliminary insofar as the final allocation will be based upon the
actual purchase price, including transaction costs and the actual assets
acquired and liabilities assumed of TurboChef as of the date of the completion
of the merger.&#160;&#160;The excess of the purchase price over the estimated
fair values of TurboChef 's assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded
as other identifiable intangible assets and goodwill.
Additionally,&#160;Middleby has yet to complete the detailed valuation studies
necessary to finalize the purchase price allocation and identify any necessary
conforming accounting policy changes for TurboChef. Accordingly, the final
purchase price allocation, which will be determined subsequent to the closing of
the merger, may differ materially from the preliminary allocation used to
calculate the pro forma data included in this section, although these amounts
represent Middleby management's best estimate as of the date of this
document.</font></div>

following table sets forth certain historical, pro forma combined and pro forma
combined equivalent per share data for Middleby common stock and TurboChef
common stock. The unaudited pro forma combined and pro forma combined equivalent
basic net earnings per share and diluted net earnings per share data reflect the
merger as if it had occurred on December 31, 2006 (the first day of Middleby's
2007 fiscal year). The pro forma combined and pro forma combined equivalent net
book value per share data reflects the merger as if it had occurred on

forma data in the tables assumes that the merger is accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting and represents a current estimate based on
available information of the combined company&#8217;s results of operations for the
periods presented. As of the date of this document, Middleby has not completed
the detailed valuation studies necessary to arrive at the final estimates of the
fair market value of the TurboChef assets to be acquired and liabilities to be
assumed and the related allocations of purchase price. However, Middleby has
made certain adjustments to the historical book values of the assets and
liabilities of TurboChef as of June&#160;30, 2008 to reflect certain preliminary
estimates of the fair values necessary to prepare the unaudited pro forma
combined and pro forma combined equivalent data. The fair value adjustments
included in the unaudited pro forma combined data and pro forma combined
equivalent data represent management&#8217;s estimate of these adjustments based upon
currently available information. The preliminary purchase price allocation
assigned value to certain identifiable intangible assets of TurboChef, including
the trade name, customer&#160;relationships, and&#160;developed technology.
Additionally, Middleby has yet to complete the detailed valuation studies
necessary to finalize the purchase price allocation and identify any necessary
conforming accounting policy changes for TurboChef. Accordingly, the final
purchase price allocation, which will be determined subsequent to the closing of
the merger, may differ materially from the preliminary allocation used to
calculate the pro forma data included in this section, although these amounts
represent Middleby management&#8217;s best estimates as of the date of this
document.</font></div>

defer their purchasing or other decisions concerning TurboChef or Middleby, or
they may seek to change their existing business relationship. In addition, as a

personnel critical to the business and operation of the combined company and the

pendency of the merger could exacerbate the diversion of management resources
from other transactions or activities that TurboChef or Middleby may undertake.
The diversion of management attention away from ongoing operations could
adversely affect ongoing operations and business relationships. The merger
agreement also restricts TurboChef from making certain acquisitions and taking
other specified actions until the merger occurs. These restrictions may prevent
TurboChef from pursuing attractive business opportunities that may arise prior

management resources in an effort to complete the merger and TurboChef is

to achieve increases in earnings per share on a GAAP basis as a result of the
merger, the combined company will, among other things, need to effectively
continue the successful operations of TurboChef and Middleby after the merger,
develop successful marketing initiatives, products and services and improve the

merger agreement contains provisions that make it more difficult for TurboChef

the prohibition on TurboChef generally from soliciting any acquisition proposal

termination fee of $7.0&#160;million if the merger agreement is terminated in
specified circumstances. See "The Merger Agreement&#8212;Termination of the Merger
Agreement," "The Merger Agreement&#8212;Fees and Expenses," and "The Merger

Recommendation and Holding of a Stockholder Meeting." These provisions might
discourage a third party that might have an interest in acquiring all or a
significant part of TurboChef from considering or proposing that acquisition,
even if that party were prepared to pay consideration with a higher per share
value than the current proposed merger consideration. Furthermore, the
termination fee may result in a potential competing acquiror proposing to pay a
lower per share value to acquire TurboChef than it might otherwise have proposed
to pay.</font></div>

projections about Middleby's and TurboChef's operations, industry, financial
condition, performance and results of operations. Statements containing words
such as "guidance," "may," "believe," "anticipate," "expect," "intend," "plan,"
"project," "projections," "business outlook," and "estimate" or similar
expressions constitute forward-looking statements. In addition, any statements
that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future
events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are
forward-looking statements. Any such forward-looking statements are not
guarantees of future performance or results and involve risks and uncertainties
that may cause actual performance and results to differ materially from those
predicted. These forward-looking statements should, therefore, be considered in
light of various important factors, including those set forth in this proxy

Technologies, Inc. is a leading provider of equipment, technology and services
focused on the high-speed preparation of food products.&#160;&#160;Its
user-friendly speed cook ovens employ proprietary combinations of heating
technologies, such as convection, air impingement, microwave energy and other
advanced methods, to cook food products at speeds up to 12 times faster than,
and to quality standards that it believes are comparable or superior to, that of
conventional heating methods.&#160;&#160;TurboChef has been successfully
developing and selling its products in the approximately $4.0 billion annual
worldwide commercial primary cooking equipment market for over a decade. The
speed, quality, compact size, ease of use and ventless operation of TurboChef
ovens provide significant advantages to a wide range of foodservice operators,
including full- and quick-service restaurants, hotels, stadiums, convenience
stores and coffee shops. These customers increasingly value the ability to cook
food in a quick and high quality manner with minimal employee training. In
addition, TurboChef ovens enable certain other customers to significantly
broaden their foodservice offerings.&#160;&#160;TurboChef offers four primary
speed cook countertop models: the C3, Tornado&#174; and i5 combination air and
microwave batch ovens and the High h Batch (air only) model and two high speed

preparation and continue to demand higher levels of quality and functionality in
their kitchen appliances, resulting in a significant rise in recent years in the
purchase of restaurant-caliber kitchen appliances for the home. TurboChef's
first residential products target the premium segment of the residential oven
market and are priced at a point that it believes is appropriate for a high-end
consumer purchase.&#160;&#160;TurboChef currently sells a 30-inch double wall

4, 2008, the TurboChef board of directors convened telephonically for a special
board meeting.&#160;&#160;TurboChef&#8217;s management reported on the meeting it and
representatives of Goldman Sachs had with Middleby&#8217;s management and Lehman
Brothers in Chicago the previous week to discuss a potential
combination.&#160;&#160;The TurboChef board discussed the need for a structure
that included Middleby stock as part of the consideration which would enable
TurboChef stockholders to benefit from potential increases in Middleby&#8217;s common
stock.&#160;&#160;The TurboChef board of directors and management also discussed
the fact that discussions and contacts with many other likely suitors had not
progressed over the last eighteen months and that, given the state of the
industry and the economic environment, it was unlikely that any of those
companies would be interested in restarting discussions and making formal
indications of interest or proposals.&#160; The board observed companies in both
the residential appliances and commercial equipment sectors were experiencing
year-over-year declines in revenues as consumers continued to postpone major
purchases in light of a worsening economy.&#160; In addition, the board noted
that in the commercial equipment sector, consolidation among competitors was
continuing at increased rates resulting in a smaller number of competitors with
substantially greater financial, marketing, distribution and other resources
than TurboChef and a broader range of products.&#160;&#160;Moreover, given
TurboChef's unique industry niche and&#160;limited product offering, most or all
other reasonably likely buyers had either approached or been approached by
TurboChef and, other than Middleby, had elected not to pursue a transaction with
TurboChef.&#160; In addition, TurboChef and its advisors believed TurboChef was
not a viable acquisition target for financial investors because its lack of
consistent earnings and cash flow made any leverage difficult in light of the
weak leveraged finance market.&#160; For these reasons, in light of the
foregoing, TurboChef did not believe that conducting a formal auction process
would be likely to yield a different result and would be disruptive and
potentially damaging to TurboChef's relationships with employees and large
customers.&#160; In any event, the TurboChef board agreed &#160;that if any
such other suitors were interested in the company, the terms of any proposed
merger agreement would make it reasonably possible for the board to consider
and, if appropriate, accept any alternative offer.</font></div>

Middleby.&#160;&#160;Specifically, management and the TurboChef board of
directors reviewed, among other things, the preliminary valuation proposed by
Middleby and a schedule for mutual due diligence.&#160;&#160;The TurboChef board
of directors was also advised that Middleby had engaged Skadden, Arps, Slate,
Meagher &amp; Flom and Lehman Brothers as its outside legal and financial
advisors, respectively, in connection with a potential
transaction.&#160;&#160;The Middleby preliminary proposal was an enterprise
value of approximately $230 million for TurboChef.&#160;&#160;Such proposal
contemplated a mix of approximately 60% cash and 40% Middleby common stock and
was subject to, among other things, due diligence and a careful analysis of
TurboChef&#8217;s expected results and transaction synergies.&#160;&#160;Middleby also

TurboChef&#8217;s expectations for revenue and profitability for 2008 based on its
review of market and business conditions during the first part of the year, the
impact of the challenging economy began reflecting itself late in the second
quarter. As an example, on July 1, 2008&#160; Starbucks, a major
customer , announced that it had plans to close 600 stores in the United
States.&#160;&#160;As a result of declining economic conditions, management
began to reassess the risks inherent in its revenue and profitability
expectations for 2008 and into 2009.&#160;&#160;For example, TurboChef&#8217;s actual
operating results for the second quarter were reflecting, among other things,
a&#160;shortfall in revenues of approximately 14% and&#160;in gross margin
amount&#160;of approximately 13% from what was previously
expected.&#160;&#160;Both management and the TurboChef board of directors
therefore began to discuss the possibility of significantly reducing the costs
related to the company&#8217;s residential initiative to more properly reflect the
current climate as well as the possibility of significantly reducing other
expenses and corporate overhead to the fullest extent possible while still
maintaining the necessary infrastructure to operate adequately as a standalone
public company and be able to take full advantage of business
opportunities.</font></div>

Goldman Sachs and Paul Hastings. Representatives of Goldman Sachs reviewed the
details of Middleby&#8217;s enterprise value proposal of approximately $230 million
and provided an updated financial analysis of the proposed
transaction.&#160;&#160;An update was also provided regarding Middleby's
concerns about TurboChef's results of operations and
forecasts.&#160;&#160;TurboChef&#8217;s management also reviewed with the TurboChef
board of directors the risks and uncertainties created by an increasingly
challenging market and economic climate. Representatives of Paul Hastings
reviewed with the TurboChef board of directors the key terms of the merger
agreement draft proposed by Middleby and alternative positions that were
proposed in a revised draft agreement circulated by Paul Hastings to Skadden,
Arps&#160;earlier in the week.&#160;&#160;The board discussed at length the
provisions relating to Middleby&#8217;s termination rights, the scope of the
&#8220;fiduciary out&#8221; and the amount of any breakup fees that would be payable to
Middleby as reflected and proposed in the draft agreement.&#160;&#160;With
respect to the latter, the board concluded that the proposal of a termination
fee formula that included both a percentage of the consideration amount and
reimbursement of all transaction expenses would not be
acceptable.&#160;&#160;The TurboChef board of directors also discussed the
alternative of remaining as an independent public company and the changes that
would have to be made to achieve the company&#8217;s financial goals with respect to
profitability and the challenges associated with making such
changes.&#160;&#160;After discussion, the TurboChef board authorized TurboChef
management to engage in additional discussions with Middleby regarding
valuation, and to continue to advance negotiations on the terms of the merger
agreement.</font></div>

paths available to it: either combine with a larger company with the financial
resources, infrastructure and economies of scale necessary to fully exploit
TurboChef's speedcook technologies; or continue to operate as a standalone small
company.&#160; Other alternatives, such as TurboChef pursuing public or private
equity or divesting itself of the residential business had been considered in
the past and abandoned&#160;due to market conditions and tax
considerations.&#160;&#160;Procee</font><font style="DISPLAY: inline">d</font><font style="DISPLAY: inline">ing as a
standalone company in the current environment would only be possible, in the

to develop and grow the residential business and by imposing severe cost saving
measures company wide.&#160;&#160;Th</font><font style="DISPLAY: inline">e</font><font style="DISPLAY: inline">se measures, while
necessary to try to achieve profitability in the near term, were viewed by the

involve a significant reduction in marketing and staffing expense which is
expected to yield approximately $15 million in cost savings and result in other
synergies with Middleby&#8217;s Jade residential line. Other commercial synergies such
as improved purchasing and material opportunities, manufacturing efficiencies,
marketing and distribution efficiencies are expected to yield additional cost
savings in a range of $4 million&#160;to $8 million.</font>&#160;&#160;In short,
the TurboChef board believes Middleby has the mark</font><font style="DISPLAY: inline">e</font><font style="DISPLAY: inline">ting, distribution

consistent financial results and compete and manage economic downturns

The foregoing discussion of the information and factors considered by
TurboChef's board of directors is not exhaustive, but TurboChef believes it
includes all the material factors considered by TurboChef''s board of directors.
In view of the wide variety of factors considered in connection with its
evaluation of the merger and the complexity of these matters, TurboChef's board
of directors did not consider it practicable to, and did not attempt to,
quantify or otherwise assign relative or specific weight or values to any of
these factors. R</font>ather, TurboChef&#8217;s board of directors viewed its position
and recommendation as being based on an overall analysis and on the totality of
the information presented to and factors considered by it. In addition, in
considering the factors described above, individual directors may have given
different weights to different factors. After considering this information, all
members of TurboChef&#8217;s board of directors unanimously approved the merger
agreement and the merger, and recommended that TurboChef stockholders adopt the
merger agreement.</font></font></div>

</font>In the normal course, TurboChef's senior management prepares a strategic
plan containing internal projections that is made available to TurboChef's board
of directors and senior management. These internal projections are refined and
updated to reflect changes in material underlying assumptions such as new and
existing customer spending patterns. At the time that the plan was prepared, it
was prepared on a reasonable basis, reflecting currently available estimates and
judgments and presented to the best of TurboChef's management's knowledge and
belief. </font>In connection with the transaction, TurboChef&#8217;s board of
directors received and considered and Goldman Sachs received such projections
for 2008-2012. In addition,&#160;the financial projections based on the
strategic plan for 2008 and 2009 were provided to Middleby and its financial
advisors in connection with their consideration of the
merger.&#160;&#160;Middleby did not rely on these projections in connection with
the proposed transaction and advised Lehman Brothers, its financial advisor, not
to rely on such projections.</font></font></div>

projections set forth below are included in this proxy statement/prospectus to
provide TurboChef stockholders access to certain nonpublic information
considered by TurboChef&#8217;s board of directors during its evaluation of the merger
and provided to Goldman Sachs in connection with its opinion that the merger
consideration to be paid to the holders of TurboChef&#8217;s common stock in the
merger was fair, from a financial point of view, to such holders. The inclusion
of this information should not be regarded as an indication to any stockholder
that TurboChef&#8217;s board of directors or any other recipient of this information
considered, or now considers, it to be predictive of actual future results, and
they should not be relied on as such. The projections reflect numerous estimates
and assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business,
economic, regulatory, market and financial conditions, as well as matters
specific to TurboChef&#8217;s business, many of which are beyond TurboChef&#8217;s control.
As a result, there can be no assurance that the projected results will be
realized or that actual results will not be significantly higher or lower than
projected. Since the projections cover multiple years, such information by its
nature becomes less predictive with each successive year.&#160;&#160;Also, the
economic and business environments can and do change quickly as they did for
TurboChef in the second quarter of 2008 which adds a significant level of
unpredictability, unreliability and execution risk.&#160;&#160;These factors
create significant doubt as to whether the projections for years 2009 and beyond
as presented below are likely to be achieved and the projections therefore
should not be construed as indicative of TurboChef&#8217;s and Middleby&#8217;s combined
results post-merger.&#160;&#160;As a result, the forecasts presented below do
not represent the best available current estimates and are not necessarily
indicative of future results.&#160; Accordingly, readers of this proxy

each of the merger and the selected transactions, Goldman Sachs calculated and
compared, where available, EV as a multiple of last twelve months (&#8220;LTM&#8221;) sales,
EV as a multiple of LTM EBITDA, and EV as a multiple of LTM earnings before
interest and taxes (&#8220;EBIT&#8221;).&#160;&#160;Multiples for the merger were based on
the implied merger consideration per share of $6.47 (calculated using the
closing price of Middleby common stock of $57.60 as of August 11, 2008) and
financial information provided by TurboChef management (both for TurboChef and
TurboChef excluding its Residential kitchen equipment
business).&#160;&#160;Multiples for the selected transactions were based on
publicly available information.&#160;&#160;While none of the target companies
that participated in the selected transactions are directly comparable to
TurboChef, the companies have operations that, for the purposes of analysis, may
be considered broadly similar to certain operations of TurboChef.&#160; The
results of these analyses are set forth below.</font></div>

TurboChef common stockholder who exchanges his or her shares of TurboChef common

gain (but should not recognize any loss), and the gain recognized will be

must be computed separately for each block of TurboChef common stock that was
purchased by the TurboChef common stockholder in the same transaction, and a
loss realized on one block of stock may not be used to offset a gain realized on
another block of stock. A TurboChef common stockholder to whom these rules may
apply should consult his or her tax advisor regarding the manner in which gain

surrendered in the merger. Any recognized gain will be long-term capital
gain if the stockholder&#8217;s holding period for the shares of TurboChef common

cash received (other than cash in lieu of a fractional share of Middleby common
stock) has the effect of a distribution of a dividend, any recognized gain will
be treated as a dividend to the extent of the TurboChef stockholder&#8217;s ratable
share of accumulated earnings and profits as computed for United States federal
income tax purposes. The determination of whether any gain recognized in
the merger will be treated as capital gain or dividend income will depend upon
whether, and to what extent, the exchange in the merger reduces the TurboChef
common stockholder&#8217;s deemed percentage ownership interest in Middleby after the
merger. For purposes of this determination, a TurboChef common stockholder will
be treated as if he or she first exchanged all of his or her shares of TurboChef
common stock solely for shares of Middleby common stock and then Middleby
immediately redeemed a portion of those shares in exchange for the cash that the
TurboChef common stockholder actually received (excluding cash received in lieu
of a fractional share of Middleby common stock). In determining whether the
receipt of cash has the effect of a distribution of a dividend, the Code&#8217;s
constructive ownership rules must be taken into account. The IRS has indicated
in rulings that any reduction in the interest of a minority stockholder who owns
a small number of shares in a publicly and widely held corporation and who
exercises no control over corporate affairs would result in capital gain as
opposed to dividend treatment. Each TurboChef common stockholder should consult
his or her tax advisor regarding the application of these rules.</font></div>

merger is subject to review by the Antitrust Division and the FTC under the HSR
Act. Under the HSR Act, TurboChef and Middleby are required to make pre-merger
notification filings and must await the expiration of statutory waiting periods
prior to completing the merger. TurboChef and Middleby each filed notification
and report forms under the HSR Act with the FTC and the Antitrust Division on
August 26, 2008. The completion of the merger is conditioned upon the expiration
or earlier termination of any applicable waiting period or the receipt of
required approval under the HSR Act, or any other similar applicable laws.&#160;
The FTC granted early termination of the applicable waiting periods under the
HSR Act in connection with the merger on September 16, 2008. </font></div>

United States or foreign governmental entities could challenge or seek to block
the merger under the antitrust laws, as it deems necessary or desirable in the
public interest. Moreover, in some jurisdictions, a competitor, customer or
other third party could initiate a private action under the antitrust laws
challenging or seeking to enjoin the merger, before or after it is completed.
TurboChef and Middleby cannot be sure that a challenge to the merger will not be
made or that, if a challenge is made, TurboChef and Middleby will
prevail.</font></div>

in Section&#160;262 will be entitled to have their shares appraised by the
Delaware Court of Chancery, which we refer to as the Court, and to receive
payment in cash of the "fair value" of the shares, exclusive of any element of

Section&#160;262, where a merger agreement is to be submitted for adoption at a
meeting of stockholders, the corporation, not less than 20&#160;days prior to
the meeting, must notify each of its stockholders entitled to appraisal rights
that appraisal rights are available for any and all shares and include in the
notice a copy of Section&#160;262. This proxy statement/prospectus shall
constitute the notice, and the full text of Section&#160;262 is attached as
Annex&#160;D to this proxy statement/prospectus. Any holder of TurboChef common
stock who wishes to exercise appraisal rights, or who wishes to preserve such
holder's right to do so, should review the following discussion and Annex&#160;D
carefully because failure to timely and properly comply with the procedures
specified will result in the loss of appraisal rights. Moreover, because of the
complexity of the procedures for exercising the right to seek appraisal of
shares of common stock, TurboChef believes that if a stockholder considers
exercising such rights, such stockholder should seek the advice of legal
counsel.</font></div>

Demand.</font>&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;Any holder of TurboChef common stock
wishing to exercise appraisal rights must deliver to TurboChef, before the vote
on the merger proposal at the TurboChef special meeting, a written demand for
the appraisal of the stockholder's shares, and that stockholder must not vote in
favor of the merger proposal. A holder of shares of TurboChef common stock
wishing to exercise appraisal rights must hold of record the shares on the date
the written demand for appraisal is made and must continue to hold the shares of
record through the closing date of the merger, since appraisal rights will be
lost if the shares are transferred prior to the effective date of the merger.
The holder must not vote in favor of the merger proposal. A proxy that is
submitted and does not contain voting instructions will, unless revoked, be
voted in favor of the merger proposal, and it will constitute a waiver of the
stockholder's right of appraisal and will nullify any previously delivered
written demand for appraisal. Therefore, a stockholder who submits a proxy and
who wishes to exercise appraisal rights must submit a proxy containing
instructions to vote against the merger proposal or abstain from voting on the
merger proposal. Neither voting against the merger proposal, nor abstaining from
voting or failing to vote on the merger proposal, will in and of itself
constitute a written demand for appraisal satisfying the requirements of
Section&#160;262. The written demand for appraisal must be in addition to and
separate from any proxy or vote on the merger proposal. The demand must
reasonably inform TurboChef of the identity of the stockholder as well as the
intention of the stockholder to demand an appraisal of the "fair value" of the
shares held by the holder. A stockholder's failure to make the written demand
prior to the taking of the vote on the merger proposal at the TurboChef special
meeting will constitute a waiver of appraisal rights.</font></div>

in respect of shares of TurboChef common stock should be executed by or on

appears on the holder's stock certificates, should specify the holder's name and
mailing address and the number of shares registered in the holder's name and
must state that the person intends thereby to demand appraisal of the holder's

who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a

surviving corporation, a written withdrawal of the demand for appraisal.
However, any such attempt to withdraw the demand made more than 60&#160;days
after the effective date of the merger will require written approval of the
surviving corporation. No appraisal proceeding in the Court will be dismissed as
to any stockholder without the approval of the Court, and such approval may be
conditioned upon such terms as the Court deems just; provided, however, that any
stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that
proceeding as a named party may withdraw his, her or its demand for appraisal
and accept the merger consideration offered pursuant to the merger agreement
within 60&#160;days after the closing date of the merger. If the surviving
corporation does not approve a request to withdraw a demand for appraisal when
that approval is required, or, except with respect to any stockholder who
withdraws such stockholder's right to appraisal in accordance with the proviso
in the immediately preceding sentence, if the Court does not approve the
dismissal of an appraisal proceeding, the stockholder will be entitled to
receive only the appraised value determined in any such appraisal proceeding,

offered pursuant to the merger agreement.</font></div>

proceeding by filing a petition with the Court demanding a determination of the
fair value of the shares held by all dissenting holders. The surviving

holders of TurboChef common stock to initiate all necessary action to perfect
their appraisal rights in respect of shares of TurboChef common stock within the
time prescribed in Section&#160;262. Within 120&#160;days after the effective

the requirements for exercise of appraisal rights will be entitled, upon written
request, to receive from the surviving corporation a statement setting forth the
aggregate number of shares not voted in favor of the merger proposal and with

number of holders of such shares. The statement must be mailed within ten days

considering seeking appraisal should be aware that the fair value of their

consideration they would receive pursuant to the merger if they did not seek
appraisal of their shares and that an investment banking opinion as to fairness
from a financial point of view is not necessarily an opinion as to fair value
under Section&#160;262. Although TurboChef believes that the merger
consideration is fair, no representation is made as to the outcome of the
appraisal of fair value as determined by the Court, and stockholders should
recognize that such an appraisal could result in a determination of a value
higher or lower than, or the same as, the merger consideration. Neither Middleby
nor TurboChef anticipate offering more than the applicable merger consideration
to any stockholder exercising appraisal rights, and reserve the right to assert,
in any appraisal proceeding, that for purposes of Section&#160;262, the "fair
value" of a share of TurboChef common stock is less than the applicable merger
consideration.</font></div>

merger is structured to qualify as a &#8220;reorganization&#8221; within the meaning of
Section 368(a) of the Code, and Middleby and TurboChef have each received
opinions to that effect from their respective counsel in connection with the
filing of the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus
forms a part. In addition, it is a condition to each of Middleby&#8217;s and
TurboChef&#8217;s obligation to complete the merger that they receive the
aforementioned opinions from their respective counsel (or from the other party&#8217;s
counsel) dated the closing date of the merger. In order to qualify as a
&#8220;reorganization,&#8221; at least 40% of the total consideration received by the
TurboChef stockholders must be in the form of Middleby&#8217;s stock (as determined on
the last business day before the date on which the merger agreement was
executed). To preserve the intended United States federal income tax treatment
of the merger as a &#8220;reorganization&#8221;, the merger agreement provides for an
adjustment to the amount of cash and Middleby stock received by each TurboChef
stockholder in the event that TurboChef (or its successor) is required to pay
cash to TurboChef stockholders who properly perfect appraisal with respect to
their shares of TurboChef common stock. If cash payments are&#160;required with
respect to dissenting shares, the cash consideration payable to non-dissenters
for each share of TurboChef common stock will be reduced pro rata, and the
Middleby stock consideration (and exchange ratio) payable to non-dissenters for
each share of TurboChef common stock will correspondingly be increased pro rata,
by an aggregate amount equal to the cash paid with respect to dissenting shares
that exceeds the $3.67 in cash per share that otherwise would have been
paid. </font></div>

employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued shares could
render it more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of Middleby

authorization of undesignated preferred stock makes it possible for the Middleby
board of directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or

merger or consolidation, shall, also notify such stockholders of the effective
date of the merger or consolidation. Any stockholder entitled to appraisal
rights may, within 20&#160;days after the date of mailing of such notice, demand
in writing from the surviving or resulting corporation the appraisal of such
holder's shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the
corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends
thereby to demand the appraisal of such holder's shares. If such notice did not
notify stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation, either
(i)&#160;each such constituent corporation shall send a second notice before the
effective date of the merger or consolidation notifying each of the holders of
any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation that are entitled
to appraisal rights of the effective date of the merger or consolidation or
(ii)&#160;the surviving or resulting corporation shall send such a second notice
to all such holders on or within 10&#160;days after such effective date;
provided, however, that if such second notice is sent more than 20&#160;days
following the sending of the first notice, such second notice need only be sent
to each stockholder who is entitled to appraisal rights and who has demanded
appraisal of such holder's shares in accordance with this subsection. An
affidavit of the secretary or assistant secretary or of the transfer agent of
the corporation that is required to give either notice that such notice has been
given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts
stated therein. For purposes of determining the stockholders entitled to receive
either notice, each constituent corporation may fix, in advance, a record date
that shall be not more than 10&#160;days prior to the date the notice is given,
provided, that if the notice is given on or after the effective date of the
merger or consolidation, the record date shall be such effective date. If no
record date is fixed and the notice is given prior to the effective date, the
record date shall be the close of business on the day next preceding the day on
which the notice is given.</font></div>

has the power to indemnify its present and former directors, officers, employees
and agents against expenses (including attorneys fees) incurred by them in
connection with any suit to which they are, or are threatened to be made, a
party by reason of their serving in such positions so long as they acted in good
faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the
best interests of a corporation, and with respect to any criminal action, they
had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful.&#160;&#160;With

is not available if such person is adjudged to be liable for negligence or
misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation unless the court

indemnification includes, but is not limited to, payment by Middleby of expenses

by the person indemnified to repay such payments if it is ultimately determined

registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.</font></div>
