Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. On April 30, 2003, Credit Lyonnais received an aggregate of 1,633,641 shares of Common Stock from Lason in connection with the effectiveness of the First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of Lason, Inc. and its Subsidiary Debtors (the "Plan") confirmed by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, and the partial consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Plan and by the Credit Agreement, dated as of June 30, 2002, by and among Lason, the lenders named therein, including Credit Lyonnais, and Bank One, N.A. as Agent (the "Credit Agreement"). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the Plan, in consideration of the Common Stock, obligations owed to Credit Lyonnais in an aggregate amount of $15,943,553.47 were cancelled. Credit Agricole acquired Credit Lyonnais in a public cash and share tender offer in June 2003, followed by a squeeze-out procedure in July and August 2003. In an internal reorganization in May 2004, certain assets of Credit Lyonnais, including the 1,633,641 shares of Common Stock, were contributed to CALYON. In June 2004, CALYON received an additional 143,988 shares of Common Stock from Lason as part of the second distribution under the Plan. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction. As the holders of indebtedness and other obligations of Lason, Credit Lyonnais and other lenders held discussions with senior management of Lason and the statutory creditors committee appointed in the bankruptcy case of Lason in furtherance of the financial and operational restructuring of Lason. These discussions resulted in the filing of the Plan, pursuant to which Lason entered into the Credit Agreement. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement and the Plan, Credit Lyonnais received Common Stock. Pursuant to the Plan, at the effective time of the Plan, Lason's Board of Directors consisted of four directors, two of whom were designated by Lason's senior secured lenders. Each of Credit Agricole and CALYON intends to optimize the value of the investment in Lason and, therefore, will review from time to time Lason's business affairs and financial position. Based on such evaluation and review, as well as general economic and industry conditions existing at the time, each of Credit Agricole and CALYON may consider from time to time various alternative courses of action. Such actions may include the acquisition of additional shares of Common Stock or other securities through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Alternatively, such actions may involve the sale of all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock held by CALYON or other securities in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such action may also involve voting any shares of Common Stock at any Lason shareholder meeting. Credit Agricole and CALYON do not presently have any plans or proposals that relate to or that would result in any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer. (a) As of July 23, 2004, CALYON was the beneficial owner of 1,777,629 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 6.0% of the outstanding Common Stock (based upon 29,756,034 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of July 14, 2004 according to Lason's Definitive Proxy Statement dated July 15, 2004, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Schedule 14A (the "Definitive Proxy")). To the best knowledge of CALYON, no director or executive officer owns or has any right to acquire, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock. As of July 23, 2004, Credit Agricole was, through its subsidiary CALYON, the beneficial owner of 1,777,629 shares of Common Stock held by CALYON, constituting approximately 6.0% of the outstanding Common Stock (based upon 29,756,034 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of July 14, 2004 according to the Definitive Proxy).
