PRESS RELEASE

ALIMENTATION COUCHE-TARD COMMENCES CASH TENDER OFFER FOR

CASEY’S GENERAL STORES AT $36.00 PER SHARE

Couche-Tard Intends to Nominate Full Slate of Independent Directors at the

Annual Shareholder Meeting of Casey’s

ATD.A, ATD.B / TSX

Laval, Québec—June 2, 2010 —Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. (“Couche-Tard”) today announced that it commenced a tender offer, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, to acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Casey’s General Stores, Inc. (“Casey’s”) (NASDAQ: CASY) for $36.00 per share in cash. Couche-Tard’s all-cash offer represents a 14% premium over the closing price of $31.59 per share of Casey’s on April 8, 2010, the last trading day prior to the public disclosure of Couche-Tard’s proposal, a 17% premium over the 90-calendar day average closing share price of Casey’s as of April 8, 2010, and a 24% premium over the one-year average closing share price of Casey’s as of April 8, 2010. The offer also implies a last twelve months (as of January 31, 2010) EBITDA multiple of 7.4x and a price of $1.3 million per store, which compares favorably to corresponding metrics of publicly-traded companies and precedent transactions in the convenience store industry. The transaction has a total enterprise value of approximately $1.9 billion on a fully diluted basis, including net debt of Casey’s of approximately $29 million.

The tender offer is scheduled to expire at 12:00, midnight, New York City time, on Friday, July 9, 2010, unless extended.

“We continue to believe that a combination of Casey’s and Couche-Tard is compelling and would deliver superior value to our respective shareholders, employees, business partners and other constituencies,” said Alain Bouchard, President and Chief Executive Officer of Couche-Tard. “It remains our strong preference to enter into a negotiated transaction with Casey’s and it is unfortunate that the Casey’s Board has rejected our $36.00 per share all-cash offer without any discussion or negotiation. We are committed to making this combination a reality and, to that end, are taking our offer directly to the shareholders of Casey’s. We are confident that the shareholders of Casey’s will recognize the seriousness of our interest and send a strong message to the Casey’s Board that they should sit down with us immediately to negotiate a mutually acceptable transaction.”

Unless the Board of Directors of Casey’s is willing to negotiate and enter into a merger agreement with Couche-Tard, Couche-Tard intends to, among other things, nominate, and solicit proxies for the election of, a slate of nine independent directors for election to the Board of Directors of Casey’s at the 2010 annual meeting of shareholders of Casey’s. Couche-Tard intends to provide formal notice to Casey’s today or shortly thereafter of its plan to make such nomination.

The tender offer documents, including the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal, will be filed today with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The shareholders of Casey’s may obtain copies of the tender offer documents at www.sec.gov. Free copies of such documents can also be obtained by calling Innisfree M&A Incorporated, toll-free at (877) 717-3930.

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC is acting as financial advisor to Couche-Tard and dealer manager for Couche-Tard’s offer and Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP is acting as legal counsel. Innisfree M&A Incorporated is acting as information agent for Couche-Tard’s offer.

15 Limited potential interlopers • Limited interest from other potential strategic buyers • Many potential strategic buyers lack the financial wherewithal for an all-cash offer • Couche-Tard has the most compelling strategic rationale for acquiring Casey’s due to complementary geographic presence and potential synergies • A financial buyer would not achieve adequate investment returns at a premium to Couche-Tard’s offer • No potential synergies – Casey’s is not a turn-around story; currently a well operated business • Historically hesitant to invest in C-store space given the volatility of the gas business • Limited capacity to monetize Casey’s real estate with a sale-leaseback transaction • Assuming aggressive revenue growth and EBITDA margins, sponsor returns are in the mid-to-high teens • Previous sponsor investments in C-store sector didn’t create value for the buyers

16 Why has Couche-Tard commenced a tender offer? • Couche-Tard has repeatedly expressed its openness to working with Casey’s to negotiate a transaction, but Casey’s has refused • Couche-Tard believes shareholders should have the opportunity to decide on its offer for themselves • We believe Couche-Tard’s offer benefits Casey’s – Shareholders – Employees – Customers – Communities

17 Financing considerations • This all-cash offer is expected to be funded through cash on hand, borrowings under existing credit facilities and new bank or bond financing • We believe financing commitments can be secured, as necessary • At transaction close, Couche-Tard is expected to have pro forma leverage of 3.3x debt/EBITDA and will generate significant free cash flow to reduce leverage substantially within two years

18 Integration strategy Couche-Tard expects that: • Couche-Tard’s decentralized business model will allow it to run Casey’s as a stand-alone business unit • No significant capital expenditures will be required to integrate Casey’s • Casey’s store banner will remain in place (no re-branding / remodels required) and will continue to be grown as a rural store format in the U.S. Midwest region • There is a possibility to leverage Casey’s wholesale and distribution capabilities • There is a possibility to implement best practices from Casey’s and Couche-Tard
