Alico to Discontinue Ethanol Efforts

LaBelle, FL, June 2, 2008 -- Alico, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALCO), a land management company, announced today that it will no longer explore the development of an ethanol facility.  As previously announced, the Company had been selected by the United States Department of Energy (DOE) and by the State of Florida to potentially receive  grants and loan assistance to assist in partially offsetting the costs of such a project.  However, Alico will no longer pursue these grants.

During the past year, Alico has been working with New Planet Energy LLC on this project and NPE is continuing its pursuit of cellulosic ethanol.  As a result of Alico’s decision, Alico will have no further financial commitment or liability to New Planet Energy, the DOE or the State of Florida for this project.  In reaching its decision to discontinue the ethanol project, Alico’s management and Board of Directors determined that the risks associated therewith outweighed any reasonably anticipated benefits for Alico. 

Alico Chairman and CEO John R. Alexander stated, “In reaching this decision, Alico will continue to focus on our core operations of real estate management including agriculture and development opportunities to provide returns for our shareholders.”
