Further, the strategy it is proposing in connection with its attempt to nominate Sackler representative Rory Held to the Ingles Board of Directors is based on incorrect assumptions and is potentially value destructive.

To achieve Summer Road\u2019s preposterous valuation of undeveloped real estate, one must employ their completely erroneous assertion that Ingles maintains 1,800 undeveloped acres of land that is unrelated to their grocery or real estate rental businesses. As noted earlier, this assertion is a complete fabrication that once again illustrates Summer Road\u2019s total lack of understanding of Ingles\u2019 real estate holdings.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\nIngles regularly evaluates its real estate strategy and portfolio, and we would not want to sell all of our undeveloped land because it is strategically important to our long-term growth.
