</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On March&nbsp;20, 2007, Lancaster Colony Corporation, (&#147;the Company&#148;) committed to a plan to close
its industrial glass manufacturing operation located in Lancaster, Ohio. This decision is intended
to enable the Company to focus resources in its more profitable operations as well as improve
overall financial performance. It is anticipated that production at the manufacturing facility will
be largely phased out by June&nbsp;30, 2007 with certain sales and distribution activities continuing
late into the calendar year. Accordingly, while timing of the disposal of the associated real
estate is difficult to predict, it is expected that active business operations will effectively
cease by the end of the calendar year.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company&#146;s preliminary estimate of the total pretax charges to be incurred in connection
with this closure is approximately $5 to $7&nbsp;million. Costs associated with one-time termination
benefits and other employee costs, including those related to the union pension plan, are estimated
to be approximately $1&nbsp;million. Costs associated with the write-down of various assets and
disposal-related activities are estimated to be approximately $4 to $6&nbsp;million. Cash expenditures are expected to be approximately $3&nbsp;million.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A copy of a press release issued by the Company announcing the commitment to the plan of
closure is attached as Exhibit&nbsp;99.1
