We are aware that Global Baristas, LLC was confirmed in a U.S Bankruptcy court hearing as the buyer of TC Global, Inc., the company that owns and operates the Tully's Coffee® retail stores through a licensing agreement with Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc. (GMCR).

We do not expect the sale of TC Global and its assets to have any significant impact on GMCR's Tully's Coffee® wholesale business, which was purchased by GMCR in 2009 along with ownership of the Tully's Coffee® brand. We cannot speculate on the future of the retail business.

GMCR will continue to roast, package and sell Tully's Coffee® in bags, K-Cup® packs and Vue® packs in supermarkets, club and specialty stores, online at www.Tullys.com, www.GreenMountainCoffee.com and www.Keurig.com, and in offices and foodservice locations.

We want to assure Tully's Coffee® fans that GMCR remains committed to the hand-crafted, slow-roasted artisanal approach to deliver the same full coffee flavor customers have come to know and expect from every cup of Tully's Coffee®.
