EXHIBIT 99.1 (O'CHARLEY'S INC. LOGO) NEWS RELEASE CONTACT: Larry Hyatt Chief Financial Officer (615) 782-8818 O'CHARLEY'S INC. TO ESTABLISH SHARED SERVICES CENTER BACK OFFICE CONSOLIDATION TO FURTHER ENHANCE MULTI-CONCEPT SUPPORT INFRASTRUCTURE NASHVILLE, Tenn. (June 13, 2005) -- O'Charley's Inc. (NASDAQ/NM: CHUX), a leading casual dining restaurant company, announced today that as part of its previously disclosed financial systems conversion project, it plans to consolidate its financial and accounting operations and upgrade its accounting systems. Once the project is completed, all accounting and payroll activities currently performed at the Woburn, Massachusetts, offices of Ninety Nine Restaurant and Pub will be performed at a shared services center that will be established at the Company's offices in Nashville, Tennessee. The consolidation will include the elimination of approximately 18 to 20 positions from the Woburn office. John Grady, concept president of Ninety Nine Restaurant and Pub stated, "The establishment of the shared services center and consolidation of back office functions is a sound business decision as we integrate our concept and the O'Charley's Inc. corporate family. This transition will impact several long-term Ninety Nine employees in our accounting and finance teams. We appreciate these individuals' years of hard work and dedication, and we have made certain that they will be treated fairly during this transition. The new shared services center in Nashville will enable our management and restaurant co-workers to focus on what is most important to us - making sure our customers receive the great food and service they have come to expect from the Ninety Nine." The Company expects to recognize severance and other project-related expenses of approximately $0.01 to $0.02 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2005 and approximately $0.03 to $0.05 per diluted share during fiscal 2005 relating to the consolidation of accounting and payroll activities and for additional project-related expenses. These expenses were not reflected in the Company's guidance issued on May 11, 2005, for the second quarter of 2005 or the full fiscal year ending December 25, 2005. O'Charley's Inc. operates 226 company-owned O'Charley's restaurants in 16 states in the Southeast and Midwest, and has three franchised O'Charley's restaurants in Michigan and one joint venture O'Charley's restaurant in Louisiana.
