Cosi, Inc. (the Company), the fast-casual restaurant company,
today announced that, on January 5, 2017, it filed, in the United
States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Massachusetts
(Eastern Division) (the Court), a Motion for Authority to
Deregister Cosi, Inc. Common Stock [Docket No. 607] (Motion). By
this Motion, the Company is requesting the Court to issue an
order authorizing the Company to deregister its common stock
under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. As set forth in more detail in the Order, there is no
value to the Debtors estate in continuing to maintain the
Companys status as a publicly-traded company and, further, that
deregistration will serve to afford the Debtors estates
significant cost savings which they would otherwise incur in
connection with applicable reporting and compliance requirements
of the Security and Exchange Commission.

The Court has scheduled a hearing on the Motion to take place on
February 15, 2017, at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern). The hearing is before
the Honorable Melvin S. Hoffman, Chief United States Bankruptcy
Judge, at the United Sates Bankrutpcy Court located at Courtroom
No. 2, 12th Floor of the John W. McCormack Post Office and
Courthouse, 5 Post Office Square, Boston, Massachusetts. The
deadline to object and/or respond to the Motion is February 1,
