CHAPTER 11 PETITION TO FACILITATE SALE OF ASSETS

August 20, 2010

Professional Veterinary Products, Ltd. (the “Company”) announced today that it has filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nebraska (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Company will continue to operate its business as a “debtor-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court. The Company’s subsidiaries, ProConn, LLC and Exact Logistics, LLC, also filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 today.

Prior to today’s filing, the Company evaluated a number of options including an overall reorganization of its business operations and sale of the business. At this point, the Company is pursuing a sale of substantially all of its assets pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code under a Bankruptcy Court supervised auction and sale process. The Board of Directors and Management believe that this course of action will be in the best interests of all of the stakeholders and will maximize value for all of the constituents.
