Yvette Arrington takes a break after trading today to consider adopting an
orphaned dog from Bideawee, a leading animal welfare organization, who lent a
paw to help ring the closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange in
celebration of the Iams Home 4 the Holidays pet adoption campaign on Thursday,
Dec. 20, 2012 in New York. The campaign began Oct. 1, 2012 and runs through
Jan. 2, 2013.

Iams rang the closing bell in honor of Iams Home 4 the Holidays, one of the
world's largest pet adoption drives. The campaign, in its 14th year, began
Oct. 1, 2012 and runs through Jan. 2, 2013 and is a partnership between Iams
and Helen Woodward Animal Center to give more orphaned pets a fresh start
through adoption and nutrition to keep their bodies as strong as their love.

“We founded Iams Home 4 the Holidays to raise awareness about the importance
of pet adoption,” said Mike Arms, founder of the adoption drive and president
of Helen Woodward Animal Center. “Coming to the New York Stock Exchange to
ring the bell is an honor and another great way to remind people who are
considering a new 4-legged family member about some of the amazing pets
waiting for their second chance at love.”

Eukanuba rang the opening bell with its partner in celebration of CCI's first
IPO, a one of a kind Initial Puppy Offering, a fundraiser designed to provide
highly-trained assistance dogs and ongoing follow-up services to children and
adults with disabilities, free of charge.
