                          DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

         This post-effective amendment (this "Amendment"), filed by General
Binding Corporation (the "Company"), deregisters certain shares of the
Company's Common Stock, $.125 par value per share ("Common Stock"), that had
been registered for issuance under the General Binding Corporation 1989 Stock
Option Plan (the "1989 Plan") on the Company's Registration Statement on Form
S-8 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on May
5, 1999 (File No. 333-77833) (the "Registration Statement").

         Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 15,
2005, as amended August 4, 2005, by and among Fortune Brands, Inc., ACCO World
Corporation, Gemini Acquisition Sub, Inc. and the Company (the "Merger
Agreement"), Gemini Acquistion Sub, Inc. ("Acqusition Sub"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of ACCO World Corporation (renamed ACCO Brands Corporation
immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, "ACCO"), merged with and
into the Company with the Company surviving the merger as a wholly-owned
subsidiary of ACCO. On August 17, 2005, at the effective time of the merger
(the "Effective Time"), all of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company was
converted into the right to receive one share of ACCO common stock or cancelled
pursuant to the Merger Agreement. As a result, the Company has terminated all
offerings of its Common Stock pursuant to its existing registration statements,
including the Registration Statement. In accordance with an undertaking made by
the Company in its Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means
of a post-effective amendment, any shares of the Company's Common Stock which
remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company hereby removes
from registration all shares of its Common Stock under the Registration
Statement which remained unsold as of Effective Time.
