As previously announced on June 9, 2010, a special committee of independent

received from parties potentially interested in pursuing a strategic
transaction with the Company and other strategic alternatives. As
announced earlier today, the Company has entered into a definitive merger
agreement with EGI Acquisition, L.L.C. (“EGI Acquisition”) under which EGI
Acquisition will offer to acquire all of the shares of the Company’s common
stock not owned by EGI Acquisition for $13.75 per share in cash.

Third Quarter 2010 Results

Third quarter revenues decreased 0.7% compared to the prior year, due to a
9.5% decrease in Marketing Credits Program revenues partially offset by a
15.6% increase in Marketing Services Program revenue. Third quarter
revenues were negatively impacted by a decrease in consumer spending in the
dining segment driven by a 2.4% decrease in average transaction amount as
compared to the prior year.

Third quarter gross profit grew 1.5% over the prior year period primarily
due to a decline in the provision for losses expense. The provision for
losses expense declined 40.7% to $1.1 million, or 3.9% of total revenues in
the quarter, as compared to $1.8 million, or 6.5% of total revenues in the
third quarter of 2009.

In the third quarter, operating expenses increased by $0.7 million or 4.5%
over the third quarter of 2009. Operating expenses for the third quarter
of 2010 included $0.8 million due to an increase in sales and
administrative headcount over the prior year period, $0.5 million of
expenses incurred in connection with the strategic review process and $0.3
million in expenses related to the introduction of a new daily special
product in two metropolitan markets. The increase in operating expenses
was partially offset by $0.9 million reduction in incentive and stock
compensation expenses between periods.

The effective tax rate increased to 57.9% for the third quarter as compared
to 35.7% in the prior year mainly due to a change in annual elections
relating to foreign taxes.

During the third quarter, the Company engaged in member acquisition and
engagement efforts that led to a 6.0% increase in its active member base, a
39.3% increase in completed surveys, and a 10.2% increase in email
addressable members over the prior year. As a result, member benefits
expense as a percentage of total revenues increased to 30.6% in the third
quarter from 29.4% in the prior year period.

Year to Date 2010 Results

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased 2.2% over
the prior year primarily due to a 35.2% increase in Marketing Services
Program revenues that was partially offset by an 11.5% decrease in
Marketing Credits revenues. Gross profit for the nine months ended
September 30, 2010 increased 8.6% over the prior year period. The provision
for losses expense declined to $2.9 million, or 3.4% of total revenues for
the nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to $7.2 million, or
8.9% of total revenues in the prior year period. Member benefit expense
increased to 28.5% of total revenues during the nine month ended September
30, 2010 as compared to 27.0% in the prior year period primarily due to the
shift towards the Marketing Services Program.

Restaurant count grew 5.9% to 10,721 at September 30, 2010 as compared to
the prior year period. Marketing Services Program restaurants increased
18.3% to 6,152, the highest number of Marketing Services Program
restaurants in the Company’s history. Marketing Credits Program restaurants
declined 7.1% to 4,569.

The effective tax rate decreased to 45.2% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2010 compared with 49.6% for the same period in the prior
year mainly due additional tax expense recorded in the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 relating to the distribution of employee and director
stock awards.

The net dining credits portfolio increased $10.9 million to $66.1 million
as of September 30, 2010 from $55.1 million as of September 30, 2009. The
Company’s increased purchases of dining credits during the year while
maintaining its long standing conservative dining credits purchasing
policies.

Cash

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company generated $2.5
million of cash from operations. The Company paid $87.2 million out of
cash from operations to purchase dining credits during the nine months
ended September 30, 2010. Cash used in financing and investing activities
included $3.6 million in capital expenditures related to investments in
sales force productivity tools and $0.2 million in common stock
repurchases. As of September 30, 2010 the Company had $12.1 million of cash
on hand and was debt free.

(1) Effective in the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company revised certain
    aspects of its income statement presentation.  Most prominently, the
    Company is now reporting revenues net of the redemption of dining
    credits (previously referred to as cost of sales). The redemption of
    dining credits is now classified as a direct reduction of revenue
    rather than as a direct expense.

Definitions:
---------------------
Qualified transaction
amount(a):                 Represents the total dollar value of all member
                           dining transactions at participating restaurants
                           when a benefit is offered. Qualified transaction
                           amounts are divided by the number of qualified
                           transactions to arrive at the average
                           transaction amount.

Rewards Network percentage
share of qualified
transaction amount(a)      Represents the percentage of qualified
                           transaction amounts that Rewards Network is
                           entitled to receive. The percentage is based on
                           each agreement between the restaurant and
                           Rewards Network.

Rewards Network share of
qualified transaction
amount(a)                  Represents the Company's portion of the member's
                           dining transaction that the Company is entitled
                           to receive in accordance with the terms of the
                           agreement with the participating restaurant.

Redemption of dining
credits(a)                 Represents the amount of dining credits, at
                           cost, redeemed by members when dining at
                           participating restaurants when a benefit is
                           offered. Under the Company's Marketing Services
                           Program, no dining credits are purchased by
                           Rewards Network.

Provision for losses:      Represents the current period expense necessary
                           to maintain an appropriate reserve against the
                           Company's unredeemable dining credits. No
                           provision is applied to the Marketing Services
                           Program, as the Company does not purchase dining
                           credits under that program.

Total member benefits:     Represents the dollar value of benefits paid to
                           members in Cashback Rewards(SM) savings, airline
                           miles, or other benefit currencies, for dining
                           at participating restaurants.

(a) Qualified transaction amount, Rewards Network share of qualified
    transaction amount, redemption of dining credits and related
    statistical measures (number of qualified transactions, average
    transaction amount and revenues as a percentage qualified transaction
    amount) are supplemental information the Company uses in analyzing
    operating results and managing the business. These supplemental
    financial measures provide useful information because they are
    important factors that affect the Company's sales.
