Payment </U></B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company&#146;s Board of Directors has decided to accelerate the record and payment date of the $.10 per
share regular quarterly cash dividend for the fourth quarter such that the dividend can be paid out together with the third quarter dividend in December. This combined dividend of $.20 per share will now be payable on December&nbsp;21, 2012 to
shareholders of record as of December&nbsp;11, 2012. The cash dividend is payable to shareholders of record on the Company&#146;s outstanding shares of common stock including the shares of common stock to which the holders of the Company&#146;s
Class C Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled. In view of the acceleration of the fourth quarter dividend payment, no additional dividend payment can be expected for the remainder of fiscal 2013. </FONT></P>

2012,&#148; said Rob Gross, Executive Chairman. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><U>About Monro Muffler Brake </U></B></FONT></P>
