IKON ANNOUNCES RECEIPT OF REQUISITE CONSENTS AND PRICING OF THE TENDER OFFER FOR ITS OUTSTANDING 7.25% NOTES DUE 2008

FOR RELEASE: THURSDAY, MAY 11, 2006

MALVERN, Pa.— IKON Office Solutions (NYSE:IKN), the world’s largest independent channel for document management systems and services, today announced that it has determined the price for its previously announced cash tender offer for any and all of its 7.25% Notes due 2008 (the “Notes”). The tender offer and consent solicitation are being made pursuant to an Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated April 27, 2006, and a related Letter of Transmittal and Consent, which more fully set forth the terms and conditions of the tender offer and consent solicitation.

The total consideration for each note validly tendered prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 10, 2006 (the “Consent Payment Deadline”), and accepted for payment is $1,034.52. The total consideration includes a consent payment of $30.00 for each $1,000 principal amount tendered. Notes accepted for payment that are validly tendered subsequent to the Consent Payment Deadline but prior to midnight, New York City time, on May 24, 2006, will receive the tender offer consideration of $1,004.52 for each $1,000 principal amount tendered. In addition to the total consideration or the tender offer consideration payable, the Company will pay accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the applicable payment date. The payment date for the Notes validly tendered and accepted for payment is expected to be on or about May 25, 2006, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Company’s Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement.

As of the Consent Payment Deadline, the Company had received valid tenders and consents from holders of approximately $81.2 million aggregate principal amount (representing approximately 86%) of the outstanding Notes. The consents received are sufficient to amend the indenture governing the Notes, and the Company intends to execute a supplemental indenture as soon as practicable. Although the Company intends to execute the supplemental indenture as soon as practicable, the amendments will not become operative unless and until all validly tendered Notes are accepted for purchase pursuant to the tender offer.
