ARMONK, N.Y., Sept. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Visant Holding Corp. ("Holdings") and Visant Corporation ("Visant") today announced that, in connection with the previously announced cash tender offers and consent solicitations by Holdings and Visant to purchase for cash any and all of the outstanding notes listed below (the "Existing Notes"), the early tender period in respect of each of the tender offers expired at 5:00 pm, New York City time, on September 20, 2010 (the "Consent Time"). Holders of Existing Notes who validly tendered (and did not validly withdraw) their Existing Notes and validly delivered (and did not validly revoke) their corresponding consents at or prior to the Consent Time, will, if their Existing Notes are accepted for purchase, be entitled to receive the applicable total consideration per $1,000 principal amount of Existing Notes tendered, which consists of the purchase price and a consent payment, in each case as set forth in the table below, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable payment date.

The following table shows the purchase price, consent payment and total consideration for, and amount and percentage of, the Existing Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn, by series, as of the Consent Time:

As previously announced, Holdings will purchase for cash any and all of its outstanding 10.25% Senior Discount Notes due 2013 and its outstanding 8.75% Senior Notes due 2013 and Visant will purchase for cash any and all of its outstanding 7.625% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012, in each case subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions of each tender offer. The payment of the total consideration with respect to the Existing Notes which were validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) and corresponding consents which were validly delivered (and not validly revoked) at or prior to the Consent Time is expected to be made tomorrow, September 22, 2010. Holdings and Visant reserve the right to waive any and all conditions of an applicable tender offer, in whole or in part.

Holdings and Visant also today announced that they have each received consents (coupled with tenders) from holders of a majority in principal amount of each series of Existing Notes to adopt the proposed amendments to the respective series of Existing Notes. Supplemental indentures effecting the proposed amendments will be executed and will become operative concurrently with the acceptance for payment of all Existing Notes of such series that were validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) at or prior to the Consent Time. Holdings and Visant further announced that the withdrawal rights with respect to the Existing Notes and corresponding consent in each of the tender offers expired at the Consent Time.  

Each tender offer will expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on October 4, 2010, unless extended (such time and date, as the same may be extended with respect to a tender offer, the "Expiration Date"). Holders who tender their Existing Notes after the applicable Consent Time and on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date will be eligible to receive the applicable purchase price per $1,000 principal amount of Existing Notes tendered as set forth in the table above plus accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable payment date, but not the consent payment.
