Meeting to Reconvene on June 5, 2007 TAMPA, Fla., May 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- OSI Restaurant Partners, Inc. (NYSE:OSI) announced that, at a special meeting of stockholders held today, OSI's stockholders voted to adjourn the meeting to consider the adoption of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 5, 2006, among OSI, Kangaroo Holdings, Inc. and Kangaroo Acquisition, Inc., as amended by the Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated May 21, 2007. The special meeting of stockholders is scheduled to reconvene on June 5, 2007, at 11:00 a.m., Eastern Daylight Time, at A La Carte Event Pavilion, 4050-B Dana Shores Drive, Tampa, Florida 33634. The polls will remain open during the adjournment. OSI's board of directors, based in part on the unanimous recommendation of a special committee of independent directors, has approved the amended merger agreement and recommends that OSI's stockholders vote "FOR" the adoption of the amended merger agreement. The adjournment will provide stockholders with additional time to consider the changes to the merger agreement effectuated by the May 21 amendment, including the increased merger consideration of $41.15 per share, in cash, to review supplemental proxy materials which OSI began distributing to stockholders on May 24, 2007 and to permit the solicitation of additional votes. The increased merger consideration represents a 27% premium over the closing price of a share of OSI common stock on November 3, 2006, the last trading day prior to announcement of the merger. Kangaroo Holdings, Inc. is controlled by an investor group comprised of investment funds associated with Bain Capital Partners, LLC and investment funds affiliated with Catterton Management Company, LLC. OSI's founders, certain holders associated with one of its founders and certain members of its management are expected to exchange shares of OSI's common stock for shares of Kangaroo Holdings, Inc. in connection with the merger. The record date for stockholders entitled to vote at the special meeting remains March 28, 2007. Stockholders who have previously submitted their proxy or otherwise voted, and who do not want to change their vote, need not take any action.
