Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Encourages American Italian Pasta Co. Shareholders to Exercise their Legal Rights

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading New York securities firm, is investigating the Board of Directors of American Italian Pasta Co. ("AIPC" or the "Company") (NasdaqGS: AIPC) for possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law in connection with their attempt to sell the Company to Ralcorp Holdings Inc. Under the terms of the transaction, AIPC shareholders will receive only $53.00 in cash for each AIPC share of common stock they own.

The transaction is structured as a tender offer, which may avoid the need for a shareholder vote. The tender offer is currently set to expire on July 22, 2010 and the Recommendation Statement issued on June 24, 2010 to shareholders may contain material omission and/or misrepresentations. In addition and according to Thompson/First Call, at least one analyst has set a price target of $60 per share. The investigation concerns whether the Recommendation Statement is materially sufficient to permit shareholders to make an informed decision, whether the board has conducted an open sales process and whether the price offered undervalues the Company.
