Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 11, 2008, Visant Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Visant Holding Corp., entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among Visant Corporation, Coyote Holdco Acquisition Company LLC (“Coyote”), Phoenix Color Corp. (“Phoenix”), Louis LaSorsa, as stockholders’ representative, and the stockholders signatory thereto (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the merger, Coyote, a wholly owned subsidiary of Visant Corporation, will merge with and into Phoenix, with Phoenix surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Visant Corporation. The aggregate consideration being paid is $219,000,000 in cash, subject to certain adjustments. An amount equal to $11,000,000 will be placed in escrow to satisfy indemnification claims by Visant Corporation, if any, following closing.

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, and indemnification and termination provisions. The merger, which is expected to become effective by the end of the first calendar quarter of 2008, is subject to certain closing conditions, including expiration or early termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”). The Merger Agreement is subject to termination if the merger is not completed by April 30, 2008, provided that the termination date may be extended under certain circumstances beyond such date to the earlier of (1) the tenth business day after clearance under the HSR Act and (2) June 30, 2008.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and is incorporated into this report by reference.
