Item 2.04 Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement

On April 25, 2007, CBRL Group, Inc. notified the trustee of its outstanding Liquid Yield Option Notes due 2032 (Zero Coupon - Senior ) (the “Existing Notes”) to send to all holders of Existing Notes notice that the Existing Notes will be redeemed on June 4, 2007 (the “Redemption Date”). The trustee has been instructed to send the redemption notice not later than May 4, 2007. As a result of the notice to holders of Existing Notes, the Existing Notes will become due and payable on the Redemption Date. 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.
 
As of today, there are $422,030,000 in principal amount at maturity of Existing Notes outstanding and the aggregate redemption price (based upon a price of $477.41 per $1,000 in principal amount at maturity) will be approximately $201,482,436 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 10.8485 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 plus an exchange fee.
