DEFENDANT
ORDER

On March 20, 2012, this Court entered an Order denying the motion by Ralcorp Holdings,
Inc., and Medallion Foods, Inc., to enjoin Frito-Lay North America, Inc., from proceeding with
parallel litigation in the Eastern District of Texas. The Court granted in part and denied in part the
motion by Frito-Lay to dismiss this action. The Court stayed this action pending a decision from
the Eastern District of Texas on the issue of whether Ralcorp and Medallion are subject to that
court’s jurisdiction and on the issue of whether that court is the appropriate venue. The Eastern
District of Texas has now ruled that Ralcorp and Medallion are subject to its jurisdiction and that
venue is proper there. This action is therefore dismissed without prejudice.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 4th day of April, 2012.
