November 25, 2008

ATLANTA, Nov. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Interface, Inc. (Nasdaq: IFSIA), the world's largest manufacturer of modular carpet, today announced the commencement of a private exchange offer relating to the $152,588,000 aggregate principal amount of outstanding 10.375% Senior Notes due 2010 (CUSIP 458665AG1).

Interface is offering to exchange, in a private placement, $306 in cash (including a $20 consent payment) and $700 in principal amount of new replacement 13.5% Senior Notes due 2012 for each $1,000 principal amount of the 2010 notes. The terms of the replacement notes will be substantially similar to the terms of the 2010 notes, other than interest rate and maturity. In conjunction with the exchange offer, Interface also is soliciting consents to a proposed amendment to the indenture governing the 2010 notes. Each holder of 2010 notes that gives a valid consent on or prior to the consent payment deadline, 5:00 p.m. New York City time on December 9, 2008 (unless extended), and does not withdraw such holder's 2010 notes tendered in the exchange offer, will receive the $20 consent payment for each $1,000 principal amount of 2010 notes with respect to which a consent is given. Holders that tender their 2010 notes will be required to consent to the proposed amendment.

The exchange offer will be subject to customary conditions, as well as the receipt of more than $76,294,000 in aggregate principal amount of the 2010 notes. The proposed amendment will require the receipt of consents from a majority in aggregate principal amount outstanding of the 2010 notes.

The exchange offer will terminate at Midnight, New York City time on December 23, 2008 (unless extended). Tenders of the 2010 notes may be withdrawn at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City Time on December 9, 2008.

The offering of the replacement notes in the exchange offer is being made only to qualified institutional buyers and certain non-U.S. investors located outside the United States ("eligible holders"). The exchange offer will be made by delivery to such persons of a confidential offering memorandum and related materials. This announcement is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy the replacement notes.

The replacement notes 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.
