GPC Capital Corp. II ("CapCo II") was incorporated in Delaware in
January, 1998. CapCo II is a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings, which was
formed in 1989. CapCo II's sole purpose is to act as co-obligor with
Holdings of the Senior Discount Notes (as defined below under "The
Recapitalization"), and as co-guarantor with Holdings under the New Credit
Agreement (as defined below under "The Recapitalization"). CapCo II has only
nominal assets, does not conduct any operations and did not receive any of
the proceeds of the offering of the Senior Discount Notes. Accordingly,
investors in the Senior Discount Notes must look solely to the cash flow and
assets of Holdings for payment of the Senior Discount Notes.
The principal executive offices of CapCo II are located at 2401 Pleasant
Valley Road, York, Pennsylvania 17402, Telephone (717) 849-8500.
The Recapitalization
The recapitalization (the "Recapitalization") of Holdings was
consummated on February 2, 1998 pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of
Recapitalization, Redemption and Purchase, dated as of December 18, 1997 (the
"Recapitalization Agreement"), by and among (i) Holdings, (ii) the Graham
Partners, and (iii) BMP/Graham Holdings Corporation, a Delaware corporation
("Investor LP") formed by Blackstone Capital Partners III Merchant Banking
Fund L.P., and BCP/Graham Holdings L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability
company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Investor LP ("Investor GP").
On February 2, 1998, as part of the Recapitalization, Holdings and CapCo
II (together with Holdings, the "Holdings Issuers"), consummated an offering
(the "Senior Discount Offering") pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities
Act of $169,000,000 aggregate principal amount at maturity of their 10 3/4%
Senior Discount Notes Due 2009, Series A (the "Senior Discount Old Notes").
In connection with the Recapitalization, the Holdings Issuers entered
into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Initial Purchasers of the
Senior Discount Old Notes, pursuant to which the Holdings Issuers agreed to
exchange the Senior Discount Old Notes for Notes having the same terms but
6
registered under the Securities Act and not containing the restrictions on
transfer that are applicable to the Senior Discount Old Notes.
Pursuant to the related Registration Rights Agreement, on September 8,
1998, the Holdings Issuers consummated an exchange offer (the "Senior
Discount Exchange Offer"), pursuant to which the Holdings Issuers issued
$169,000,000 aggregate principal amount at maturity of their 10 3/4% Senior
Discount Notes Due 2009, Series B (the "Senior Discount Exchange Notes"),
which were registered under the Securities Act, in exchange for an equal
principal amount at maturity of Senior Discount Old Notes (the Senior
Discount Old Notes and the Senior Discount Exchange Notes being herein called
the "Senior Discount Notes").
The Recapitalization also included the initial borrowing by the
Operating Company of $403.5 million in connection with a new credit facility
by and among the Operating Company, Holdings and a syndicate of lenders.
Such new credit facility was amended on August 13, 1998 (as so amended, the
"New Credit Agreement"), as described below under "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and
Capital Resources" (Item 7).
CapCo II is co-obligor with Holdings of the Senior Discount Notes and
co-guarantor with Holdings under the New Credit Agreement.

PART II
Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder
Matters
All of CapCo II's common stock, par value $.01 per share ("common
stock"), is owned by Holdings, 2401 Pleasant Valley Road, York, Pennsylvania
17402. There is no established public trading market for CapCo II's common
stock.
In the first quarter of 1998, CapCo II issued 1,000 shares of common
stock to Holdings in a transaction exempt from registration under the
Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
As indicated under Item 1, "Business--The Recapitalization", upon the
Closing of the Recapitalization on February 2, 1998, the Holdings Issuers
consummated an offering pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of
$169,000,000 aggregate principal amount at maturity of their Senior Discount
Old Notes. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement dated January 23, 1998 (the
"Purchase Agreement"), the Initial Purchasers, DB Alex. Brown LLC (formerly
BT Alex. Brown Incorporated), Bankers Trust International PLC, Lazard Freres
& Co. LLC and Salomon Brothers Inc, purchased the Senior Discount Old Notes
at a price of 57.173% of the principal amount, for a discount of 2.361% from
the initial offering price of 59.534% or a total discount of $3,990,090.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Holdings Issuers also reimbursed the
Initial Purchasers for certain expenses. Pursuant to the Senior Discount
Exchange Offer, on September 8, 1998, the Holdings Issuers issued
$169,000,000 aggregate principal amount at maturity of their Senior Discount
Exchange Notes in exchange for an equal principal amount of Senior Discount
Old Notes.
No dividends were paid to the holder of CapCo II's common stock in 1999.
Under the New Credit Agreement, the Operating Company is subject to
restrictions on the payment of dividends and other distributions to Holdings,
as described in Item 8, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources."

None.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On February 2, 1998, Holdings and CapCo II, as co-obligor, issued $100.6
million of Senior Discount Old Notes ($169 million aggregate principal amount
at maturity).
On September 8, 1998, Holdings and CapCo II consummated the Senior
Discount Exchange Offer for all of their outstanding Senior Discount Old
Notes, and issued in exchange therefor their Senior Discount Exchange Notes,
which have the same terms as the Senior Discount Old Notes, except that the
Senior Discount Exchange Notes are registered under the Securities Act and do
not include the restrictions on transfer applicable to the Senior Discount
Old Notes.
The Senior Discount Notes mature on January 15, 2009, with interest
payable at 10.75%. Cash interest on the Senior Discount Notes does not
accrue until January 15, 2003.
On February 2, 1998, the Operating Company refinanced the majority of
its existing credit facilities in connection with the Recapitalization and
entered into the New Credit Agreement with a consortium of banks. The New
Credit Agreement was amended on August 13, 1998 (the "Amendment") to provide
for an additional Term Loan Borrowing of an additional $175 million. The New
Credit Agreement and the Amendment consist of four term loans to the
Operating Company totaling $570 million and two revolving loan facilities to
the Operating Company totaling $255 million. The obligations of the
Operating Company under the New Credit Agreement and Amendment are guaranteed
by Holdings and certain subsidiaries of Holdings, including CapCo II. The
term loans are payable in quarterly installments through January 31, 2007 and
require payments of $15.0 million in 2000, $20.0 million in 2001, $25.0
million in 2002, $27.5 million in 2003, $93.0 million in 2004, $64.9 million
in 2005, $242.7 million in 2006 and $74.0 million in 2007. The
Company expects to fund scheduled debt repayments from
cash from operations and unused lines of credit. The revolving
loan facilities expire on January 31, 2004. Interest is payable at (a) the
"Alternate Base Rate" (the higher of the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Rate
plus 0.50%) plus a margin ranging from 0% to 2.00%; or (b) the "Eurocurrency
Rate" (the applicable interest rate offered to banks in the London interbank
9
eurocurrency market) plus a margin ranging from 0.625% to 3.00%. A
commitment fee ranging from 0.20% to 0.50% is due on the unused portion of
the revolving loan commitment. As part of the Amendment to the New Credit
Agreement, if certain events of default were to occur, or if the Company's
Net Leverage Ratio were above 5.15:1.0 at March 31, 2000, Blackstone has
agreed to make an equity contribution to the Company through the
administrative agent of up to $50 million. The Company's Net Leverage
Ratio being above 5.15:1.0 at March 31, 2000 is not an event of
default under the New Credit Agreement. In addition,
the New Credit Agreement and Amendment contain certain affirmative and
negative covenants as to the operations and financial condition of the
Operating Company, as well as certain restrictions on the payment of
dividends and other distributions to Holdings.
The Company is currently discussing with its bank lenders a proposed
Second Amendment to the New Credit Agreement and a proposed First Amendment
to the Capital Call Agreement (collectively, the "Second Amendment"). Among
other things, the Second Amendment would change the date as of which the
Company's Net Leverage Ratio is measured for purposes of determining whether
Blackstone is required to make the above-mentioned equity contribution
from March 31, 2000 to September 30, 2000; allow a pro forma adjustment to
the Net Leverage Ratio to include the receipt of net cash proceeds from any
registered public offering occurring after September 30, 2000 but before
October 31, 2000; change the terms under which the Company can access
$100 million of Growth Capital Revolving Loans from a dollar for dollar
equity match to a capital call with various test dates based on certain
leverage tests for quarters ending on or after June 30, 2001, which would
provide for up to an additional $50 million equity contribution by
Blackstone; allow the proceeds of the equity contribution (if required)
to be applied to the Revolving Credit Loans; increase the top level of the
interest rate pricing grid by 25 basis points; and change certain covenants,
principally to increase the amount of permitted capital expenditures in 2000
and subsequent years. The Second Amendment requires approval by Lenders
having more than 50% of the sum of all loans and unused commitments
and there is no assurance that such approval will be obtained.
Under the New Credit Agreement and Amendment, the Operating Company is
subject to restrictions on the payment of dividends or other distributions to
Holdings; provided that, subject to certain limitations, the Operating
Company may pay dividends or other distributions to Holdings (i) in respect
of overhead, tax liabilities, legal, accounting and other professional fees
and expenses, (ii) to fund purchases and redemptions of equity interests of
Holdings or Investor LP held by then present or former officers or employees
of Holdings, the Operating Company or their Subsidiaries (as defined) or by
any employee stock ownership plan upon such person's death, disability,
retirement or termination of employment or other circumstances with certain
annual dollar limitations and (iii) to finance, starting on July 15, 2003,
the payment of cash interest payments on the Senior Discount Notes.

to act as co-obligor with Holdings of the Senior Discount Notes and as co-
guarantor with Holdings under the New Credit Agreement and Amendment (as
defined herein). GPC Capital Corp. II has only nominal assets and does not
conduct any independent operations.
2. Debt Arrangements
On February 2, 1998, Holdings and GPC Capital Corp. II, as co-obligor,
issued $100.6 million gross proceeds of Senior Discount Notes Due 2009 ($169
million aggregate principal amount at maturity). The Senior Discount Notes
mature on January 15, 2009, with interest payable at 10.75%. Cash interest
on the Senior Discount Notes does not accrue until January 15, 2003.
On February 2, 1998, Graham Packaging Company, a Delaware limited
partnership formerly known as Graham Packaging Holdings I, L.P. (the
"Operating Company") refinanced the majority of its existing credit
facilities in connection with the Recapitalization and entered into a new
Credit Agreement (the "New Credit Agreement") with a consortium of banks.
The New Credit Agreement was amended on August 13, 1998 (the "Amendment") to
provide for an additional Term Loan Borrowing of an additional $175 million.
The New Credit Agreement and the Amendment consist of four term loans to the
Operating Company totaling $570 million and two revolving loan facilities to
the Operating Company totaling $255 million. The obligations of the
Operating Company under the New Credit Agreement and Amendment are guaranteed
by Holdings and certain other subsidiaries of Holdings. The term loans are
payable in quarterly installments through January 31, 2007 and require
payments of $15.0 million in 2000, $20.0 million in 2001, $25.0 million in
2002, $27.5 million in 2003, $93.0 million in 2004, $64.9 million in 2005,
$242.7 million in 2006 and $74.0 million in 2007. The revolving loan
facilities expire on January 31, 2004. Interest is payable at (a) the
"Alternate Base Rate" (the higher of the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Rate
plus 0.50%) plus a margin ranging from 0% to 2.00%; or (b) the "Eurocurrency
Rate" (the applicable interest rate offered to banks in the London interbank
eurocurrency market) plus a margin ranging from 0.625% to 3.00%. A
commitment fee ranging from 0.20% to 0.50% is due on the unused portion of
the revolving loan commitment. As part of the Amendment to the New Credit
Agreement, if certain events of default were to occur, or if the Company's
Net Leverage Ratio were above 5.15:1.0 at March 31, 2000, Blackstone has
agreed to make an equity contribution to the Company through the
administrative agent of up to $50 million. The Company's Net Leverage
Ratio being above 5.15:1.0 at March 31, 2000 is not an event of
default under the New Credit Agreement. In addition,
17
the New Credit Agreement and Amendment contain certain affirmative and
negative covenants as to the operations and financial condition of the
Operating Company, as well as certain restrictions on the payment of
dividends and other distributions to Holdings.

CapCo II has outstanding 1,000 shares of common stock, all of which are
owned by Holdings, 2401 Pleasant Valley Road, York, Pennsylvania 17402.
Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
An affiliate of DB Alex. Brown LLC and Bankers Trust International PLC,
two of the Initial Purchasers of the Old Notes, acquired approximately a 4.8%
equity interest in Investor LP. Deutsche Bank AG (formerly Bankers Trust
Company), an affiliate of DB Alex. Brown LLC and Bankers Trust International
PLC, acted as administrative agent and provided a portion of the financing
under the New Credit Agreement entered into in connection with the
Recapitalization, for which it received customary commitment and other fees
and compensation.
The New Credit Agreement includes a $100 million Growth Capital
Revolving Credit Facility under which the Operating Company is entitled to
21
draw amounts for capital expenditure requirements and to finance acquisitions
and investments; provided that loans under the Growth Capital Revolving
Credit Facility may only be incurred to the extent that such loans are
matched with equity contributions from the principal equity holders of
Investor LP (which equity contributions shall, in turn, ultimately be
contributed to the Operating Company) on a dollar-for-dollar basis.
As part of the Amendment to the New Credit Agreement, if
certain events of default were to occur, or if the Company's
Net Leverage Ratio were above 5.15:1.0 at March 31, 2000, Blackstone has
agreed to make an equity contribution to the Company through the
administrative agent of up to $50 million. The Company's Net Leverage
Ratio being above 5.15:1.0 at March 31, 2000 is not an event of
default under the New Credit Agreement.
The Company is currently discussing with its bank lenders a proposed
Second Amendment to the New Credit Agreement and a proposed First Amendment
to the Capital Call Agreement (collectively, the "Second Amendment"). Among
other things, the Second Amendment would change the date as of which the
Company's Net Leverage Ratio is measured for purposes of determining whether
Blackstone is required to make the above-mentioned equity contribution
from March 31, 2000 to September 30, 2000; allow a pro forma adjustment to
the Net Leverage Ratio to include the receipt of net cash proceeds from any
registered public offering occurring after September 30, 2000 but before
October 31, 2000; change the terms under which the Company can access
$100 million of Growth Capital Revolving Loans from a dollar for dollar
equity match to a capital call with various test dates based on certain
leverage tests for quarters ending on or after June 30, 2001, which would
provide for up to an additional $50 million equity contribution by
Blackstone; allow the proceeds of the equity contribution (if required)
to be applied to the Revolving Credit Loans; increase the top level of the
interest rate pricing grid by 25 basis points; and change certain covenants,
principally to increase the amount of permitted capital expenditures in 2000
and subsequent years. The Second Amendment requires approval by Lenders
having more than 50% of the sum of all loans and unused commitments
and there is no assurance that such approval will be obtained.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement dated January 23, 1998, the Initial
Purchasers, DB Alex. Brown LLC, Bankers Trust International PLC, Lazard
Freres & Co. LLC and Salomon Brothers Inc, purchased the Senior Discount Old
Notes at a price of 57.173% of the principal amount, for a discount of 2.361%
from the initial offering price of 59.534% or a total discount of $3,990,090.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Holdings Issuers also reimbursed the
Initial Purchasers for certain expenses.
