 DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

 On June 8, 2007, Applebee's International, Inc. (the "Company") filed a
registration statement on Form S-8, Registration Number 333-143609 (the
"Registration Statement"), with respect to 500,000 shares of the Company's
common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), relating to the
Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

 On July 15, 2007, IHOP Corp., CHLH Corp and the Company entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger, pursuant to which CHLH Corp. would merge with and
into the Company, with the Company as the surviving corporation (the "Merger").
On November 29, 2007, the effective date of the Merger, each share of Common
Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Merger (other than shares held in
treasury and shares as to which a stockholder has properly exercised appraisal
rights) was cancelled and converted into the right to receive $25.50 in cash.

 In connection with the closing of the Merger, all offerings of the
Company's Common Stock contemplated pursuant to existing registration
statements, including the Registration Statement, have been terminated. In
accordance with an undertaking made in the Registration Statement to remove from
registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any securities of the
Company which remain unsold at the termination of the offering subject to the
Registration Statement, the Company hereby removes from registration all shares
of Common Stock registered under the Registration Statement that remain unsold
as of the date this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement
is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
