CBRL GROUP TO REDEEM OUTSTANDING NOTES

LEBANON, Tenn. - April 25, 2007 - CBRL Group, Inc. (the “Company”) (Nasdaq: CBRL) announced today that it has directed the trustee of its outstanding Liquid Yield Option Notes

due 2032 (Zero Coupon - Senior) (Cusip Nos. 12489VAB2 and 12489VAA4) (the “Existing Notes”) to send to all holders of Existing Notes notice that the Existing Notes will be redeemed on or about June 4, 2007 (the “Redemption Date”). The trustee has been instructed to send the redemption notice not later than May 4, 2007.

As of today, there are $422,030,000 in principal amount at maturity of Existing Notes outstanding and the aggregate redemption price will be approximately $201 million, assuming that no holders of Existing Notes either convert their notes into common stock or exchange Existing Notes pursuant to the Company’s pending exchange offer. At any time up to two business days prior to the Redemption Date, holders of Existing Notes can convert Existing Notes into the Company’s common stock at the rate of 10.8584 shares of common stock per $1,000 in principal amount at maturity of Existing Notes. Also, at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. on April 30, 2007, holders of Existing Notes can exchange all or a portion of their Existing Notes for an equal amount of a new issue of Zero Coupon Senior Convertible Notes due 2032 (Cusip No. 12489VAC0) (the “New Notes”) plus an exchange fee (the “Exchange Offer”). The Company will pay the redemption price of the Existing Notes through a draw on its existing delayed-draw term loan facility and cash on hand.

This press release is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities. There shall not be any issuance of the New Notes in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the laws of such state.
