<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><B>Fort Worth, Texas</B>, November 11, 2016
&ndash; Save Farmer Bros. issued a statement today commenting on a development with the Farmer Bros. Co. (NASDAQ:FARM) (&ldquo;Farmer
Bros.&rdquo; or the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;) Amended and Restated Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the &ldquo;ESOP&rdquo;). Save Farmer
Bros. was shocked to learn that the entire ESOP voting position, representing approximately 11.3% of the Company&rsquo;s outstanding
shares, has already been voted in favor of management and the incumbent slate through the Broadridge voting platform, according
to information obtained by its proxy solicitor.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Save Farmer Bros. noted, &ldquo;The Board of
Directors of Farmer Bros. (the &lsquo;Board&rsquo;) never ceases to amaze us in terms of the lengths that it will go to manipulate
the corporate machinery to entrench itself and management in this election contest. It was extremely brazen of the Board to unilaterally
amend the ESOP voting last month in response to our proxy contest in such a way as to give the ESOP trustee, GreatBanc Trust Company,
the ability to vote how it sees fit with respect to unallocated shares and shares for which the trustee receives no voting directions.
Prior to this amendment, &lsquo;<I>shares that had not been allocated to participant accounts and shares that had been allocated,
but for which ESOP participants did not provide voting direction, were voted in proportion to the allocated shares for which the
trustee received voting directions</I>.&rsquo; The Board&rsquo;s intentions with regard to the ESOP amendment are highly transparent
when you consider that they chose to disclose this questionable amendment to the ESOP at the end of the Friday before the Columbus
Day long weekend. If their action to amend the ESOP voting was made in good faith or had any legitimate purpose other than to protect
their own positions, then why would they try their hardest to have it slip under everyone's radar?&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Save Farmer Bros. went on to state, &ldquo;Our
suspicions that the Board is seeking to manipulate the ESOP voting for its own selfish entrenchment purposes were confirmed yesterday
when we were informed by our proxy solicitor that the entirety of the ESOP voting position, representing approximately 11.3% of
the Company&rsquo;s outstanding shares, has already been voted in favor of the current Board&rsquo;s director slate four weeks
ahead of the 2016 Annual Meeting. Employees and shareholders alike should be outraged. This represents employee shareholder disenfranchisement
at its very core.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Save Farmer Bros. continued by stating, &ldquo;We
are currently exploring all legal options with respect to the amendment and current voting of the ESOP shares to ensure the propriety
of the employee franchise at the 2016 Annual Meeting. We imagine the employee base will be none too pleased to learn that the ESOP
shares have already been voted in their entirety for management. This is a blatant abuse of the corporate machinery to entrench
the Board, and we demand that it be corrected immediately.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Save Farmer Bros. concluded, &ldquo;We urge
all employees to ensure they vote and prevent management and the trustee from unfairly voting the employees' hard earned shares
for the Company&rsquo;s director candidates. This is an unfair tactic to tilt the playing field in management&rsquo;s favor. We
will be sending a letter to all employees through the trustee in the coming days with additional information, but believe it is
important to bring this disturbing information to light now so that employees can take appropriate action to vote their shares.
<B><U>Do not be intimidated by management</U></B>. Your vote is 100% confidential.&rdquo;</P>
