            announced today that one of its affiliates has notified Lancaster Colony Corporation
            (Nasdaq: LANC) (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;) of its intention to nominate three persons
            for election to the Board of Directors of the Company at the Company&rsquo;s 2007

            <font size="2">Barington has been disappointed with the performance of the Board and
            lacks confidence in the ability of the current directors, a majority of whom have been
            in office for 16 years or more, to improve shareholder value for the Company&rsquo;s
            public shareholders. As a result, Barington has nominated a slate of three highly
            qualified individuals to ensure that the interests of the Company&rsquo;s public
            shareholders are adequately represented on Lancaster&rsquo;s nine member Board. If
            elected, the Barington slate intends to work constructively with the other directors
            to, among other things, improve the Company&rsquo;s profitability, share price
            performance and corporate governance and expedite the divestiture of the
            Company&rsquo;s non-core business segments.</font></p>
