company&#146;s common stock as part of an ongoing stock repurchase program. Currently, the company has
approximately 30,361,000 common shares outstanding and approximately 957,000 shares remaining under
a previous repurchase authorization. The annual meeting of shareholders was set for 11:00&nbsp;a.m.
Monday, November&nbsp;19, 2007 at The Hilton Columbus at Easton, 3900 Chagrin Drive, Columbus, Ohio
43219. The record date for shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting is Friday, September&nbsp;21,

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;John B. Gerlach, Jr., chairman and chief executive officer of Lancaster Colony, said,
&#147;The dividend reflects the company&#146;s continued strong financial position and will be the
177<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">th</SUP> consecutive quarterly cash dividend paid by the company since September&nbsp;1963.&#148; He
noted that the indicated annual payout for the current fiscal year ending June&nbsp;30, 2008 is $1.08.
