Explanation of Responses:
1. On November 16, 2007 Amscan Acquisition, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Amscan Holdings, Inc., acquired over 90% of the issued and outstanding shares of Factory Card & Party Outlet Corp. ("FCPO") common stock in a tender offer pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 17, 2007 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among Amscan Holdings, Inc., Acquisition, and FCPO. Following the close of the tender offer, Acquisition was merged with and into FCPO on November 16, 2007 (the "Merger") pursuant to Delaware's short-form merger procedure and the Merger Agreement. Following the Merger, all of FCPO's outstanding common stock, except for stock held by FCPO stockholders that may properly perfect their appraisal rights in accordance with Delaware law, was cancelled, and Factory Card & Party Outlet Corp., the surviving corporation, issued 100 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, to Amscan Holdings, Inc., the sole record holder of such shares.
2. These shares are owned directly by Amscan Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of AAH Holdings Corporation. AAH Holdings Corporation may be deemed to be an indirect beneficial owner of the reported securities only by virtue of the fact that Amscan Holdings, Inc., the record holder of the shares, is a wholly-owned subsidiary. AAH Holdings Corporation disclaims beneficial ownership of the reported securities, and this report shall not be deemed an admission by such entity that it is a beneficial owner of such securities for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.
