VISANT AND JOSTENS RESPOND TO FTC DECISION ON PROPOSED TRANSACTION

ARMONK, NY, MINNEAPOLIS, MN – April 17, 2014. Visant Corporation and Jostens, Inc. today announced that the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has advised of the Commission’s vote to block the proposed transaction between Jostens and American Achievement. Visant and Jostens announced in November 2013 the signing of a definitive purchase agreement under which Jostens would acquire American Achievement. The FTC investigation, which has been ongoing since November, was focused on class rings.

The parties have agreed to proceed with a termination of the purchase agreement as a result of this decision.

Marc Reisch, President and Chief Executive Officer of Visant, stated, “We are extremely disappointed with the FTC’s decision to challenge this strategic transaction and fundamentally disagree with the basis on which the FTC made its decision. We continue to believe that based on current industry dynamics the combination would not have an adverse effect on competition and that the significant synergies and operating efficiencies from the proposed transaction would contribute to the competitive landscape. However, entering into a protracted litigation with the FTC and the inherent cost and distraction is not in the best interests of our stakeholders.”
