Correale Chief Financial Officer May 28, 2002 3 EXHIBIT INDEX Exhibit No. Description 19 Press Release dated May 24, 2002 of Amscan Holdings, Inc. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PRESS RELEASE Amscan Announces Review of Capitalization Contact: James M. Harrison (914) 784-4014 Michael A. Correale (914) 784-4050 ELMSFORD, NEW YORK. May 24, 2002. Amscan Holdings, Inc. announced today that it has begun reviewing options available to it to effect a recapitalization of the Company. Among the alternatives that the Company expects to consider are new revolving or term credit facilities, an initial public offering or a private sale of equity or debt securities. The Company anticipates that, if it consummates such a transaction, substantially all of the net proceeds would be applied to repay existing indebtedness. At the same time, the Company will continue actively to pursue and evaluate any strategic opportunities that are or become available to determine if any would enhance stockholder value, including asset purchases or sales or other acquisition or disposition transactions. There is no certainty that the Company will conclude any recapitalization or other strategic transaction, and the Company assumes no obligation to update the information contained in this press release. Amscan designs, manufactures and distributes decorative party goods, including paper and plastic tableware, accessories and novelties. It also has product lines of home, baby and wedding products. This press release does not constitute an offer of any securities for sale.
