ITEM 4.02(a)   NON-RELIANCE ON PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OR A RELATED AUDIT REPORT OR COMPLETED INTERNAL REVIEW
     On May 12, 2006, the AAC Group Holding Corp. and American Achievement Corporation (collectively, the “Company”) determined that the financial statements and reports of the independent registered public accounting firm included in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended February 25, 2006, and November 26, 2005, and Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 27, 2005, should no longer be relied upon because of the need to restate the financial statements set forth therein.
     The restatement will correct the revenue recognition policy for class ring and certain graduation products sales through independent sales representatives such that revenue will be recognized at the time rings and certain graduation products are delivered to the student customer rather than at the time rings and certain graduation products are shipped to the independent sales representatives. The restatement will primarily result in a deferral of previously recognized revenue and related selling costs from the date of shipment of rings and certain graduation products to sales representatives to the date of delivery of such products to the student customer.
     The Audit Committee of the Company has discussed the matters noted above with the Company’s independent accountants, Deloitte & Touche LLP.
ITEM 5.02.   DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR PRINCIPAL OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF PRINCIPAL OFFICERS
     Effective May 10, 2006, the AAC Group Holding Corp. and American Achievement Corporation’s respective Boards of Directors appointed Andrea Geisser to serve on each of their respective Boards of Directors. Mr. Geisser was appointed to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of American Achievement Corporation.
     Effective May 10, 2006, the American Achievement Corporation’s Board of Directors appointed Jean Ann McKenzie to serve on its Board of Directors. For her service on the Board of Directors, Ms. McKenzie will receive an annual payment of $50,000. Simultaneously with Ms. McKenzie’s appointment to American Achievement Corporation’s Board of Directors, American Achievement Corporation entered into a consulting agreement with Ms. McKenzie whereby Ms. McKenzie will, from time to time, provide certain consulting services at the request of American Achievement Corporation.
