Denny’s Expresses Serious Concern Over Dissident Attacks on Company Franchisees

Spartanburg, SC – May 17, 2010 – Denny’s Corporation (NASDAQ: DENN) commented on the Denny’s Franchisee Association’s (DFA) intended litigation against the dissident hedge funds currently waging a proxy contest against the Company. The litigation, which results from the dissidents obtaining and distributing confidential DFA documents, comes after the dissidents have directly attacked the Denny’s franchisee community and actively undermined its leadership, to the significant detriment of the Company and the Denny’s brand.

Debra Smithart-Oglesby, Denny’s Board Chair, stated, “As an eighty-five percent franchised restaurant company, Denny’s success is completely intertwined with the success of its franchise partners and it is critical that we have a strong and trusting relationship with them.  The dissidents’ tactics have more than crossed the line and done significant harm to that relationship and they now threaten to do serious damage to the Company and its prospects moving forward.”

To elect the Denny’s nominees, we urge all stockholders to sign and return the WHITE Proxy whether or not you have already returned a gold proxy sent to you by the dissidents.  Denny’s urges all stockholders NOT to sign or return any gold proxy sent to you by the dissidents. Instead, Denny’s Board recommends that you use the WHITE Proxy and vote by mail or if you own your shares through a bank or a broker, you may vote by telephone or Internet.

If you have already returned the gold proxy, you can effectively revoke it by voting the WHITE Proxy.  Only your latest-dated proxy will be counted.

Please remember to vote the WHITE CARD in advance of the Company’s annual meeting on May 19, 2010.
