AUSTIN, TX, JULY 9, 2008 – American Achievement Corporation (“American Achievement”) and its immediate parent company, AAC Group Holding Corp. (“Holdings”, and together with American Achievement, the “Companies”), each announced today that it had received, as of 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on July 3, 2008 (the “Consent Date”) the requisite consents, in the case of American Achievement, of holders of a majority of American Achievement's outstanding 8.25% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 (CUSIP No. 02369AAE8) (the “8.25% Notes”) and, in the case of Holdings, of holders of a majority of Holdings’ outstanding 10.25% Senior Discount Notes due 2012 (CUSIP No. 000305AB8) (the “10.25% Notes,” together with the 8.25% Notes, the “Notes”) to the proposed amendments to the applicable indenture governing such Notes, which eliminate or modify substantially all of the restrictive covenants, the obligation to offer to repurchase Notes upon a change of control, certain events of default and related provisions in each indenture and, with respect to Notes for which consents are delivered, require each Company to redeem such Notes in connection with the closing of the previously announced transaction between Herff Jones Inc. and American Achievement Group Holding Corp., the indirect parent of the Companies, if certain conditions are met.
