Interface Extends Consent Payment Deadline for Exchange Offer for Certain of its Outstanding Notes

/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Interface, Inc. (NASDAQ: IFSIA) , the world's largest manufacturer of modular carpet, announced today that it has extended the consent payment deadline with respect to its previously announced exchange offer and consent solicitation with respect to its outstanding 10.375% Senior Notes due 2010 (the "Notes"). The consent payment deadline, which was 5:00 p.m., New York City time on December 15, 2008, will be extended to 5:00 p.m., New York City time on Friday, December 19, 2008, unless further extended.

All other material terms of the consent solicitation and the related exchange offer remain unchanged. Holders who have already properly tendered their Notes and delivered their consents do not need to re-tender or deliver new consents. Consents (whether previously or hereafter delivered) may only be revoked in the manner described in the Offering Memorandum dated November 25, 2008. Rights to withdraw tendered Notes and revoke the delivered consents terminated at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 9, 2008.

The exchange offer and consent solicitation are made upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Offering Memorandum and the related Letter of Transmittal and Consent. The exchange offer and consent solicitation are subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the general conditions as set forth in the Offering Memorandum. The exchange offer will expire at midnight, New York City time, on December 23, 2008, unless extended or earlier terminated by Interface.

This release is for informational purposes only and is neither an offer to purchase, nor a solicitation of an offer to sell, the Notes. The exchange offer for Notes is only being made pursuant to the Offering Memorandum (and its related documents) that Interface has distributed to certain qualified holders of Notes. The exchange offer and consent solicitation are not being made to holders of Notes in any jurisdiction in which the making or acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the securities, blue sky or other laws of such jurisdiction. In any jurisdiction in which the exchange offer or consent solicitation are required to be made by a licensed broker or dealer, they shall be deemed to be made by the Dealer Managers on behalf of Interface.

The replacement notes issued in exchange for the Notes in the exchange offer will not be initially registered under the Securities Act of 1933, or any state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements, and will therefore be subject to substantial restrictions on transfer.
