BOX 40888 INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA 46240 (317) 844-9666 --------------------- ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS FEBRUARY 9, 1998 --------------------- PROXY STATEMENT SOLICITATION, VOTING AND REVOCABILITY OF PROXIES --------------------- This Proxy Statement is furnished to the holders (the "Shareholders") of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock") of Anacomp, Inc., an Indiana corporation (the "Company"), by the Board of Directors in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be used in voting at the 1998 Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on February 9, 1998 at the Company's offices located at 12365 Crosthwaite Circle, Poway, California, and at any adjournments thereof. The approximate date on which this Proxy Statement and the accompanying form of proxy are being mailed to Shareholders is January 5, 1998. The enclosed proxy is solicited by the Board of Directors of the Company. A person giving a proxy has the power to revoke it at any time before it is exercised by giving written notice to the Secretary of the Company or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. The proxy, if returned properly executed and not subsequently revoked, will be voted in accordance with the choices made by the Shareholders with respect to the proposals listed thereon. IF A CHOICE IS NOT MADE WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPOSALS, THE PROXY WILL BE VOTED FOR THE ELECTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS' NOMINEES. IF ANY OTHER MATTERS SHOULD BE PRESENTED AT THE ANNUAL MEETING, THE HOLDERS OF THE PROXIES WILL VOTE ON SUCH MATTERS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE VIEWS OF A MAJORITY OF THE DIRECTORS. Votes cast by proxy or in person at the Annual Meeting will be tabulated by the inspectors of election appointed for the meeting, and such inspectors will determine whether or not a quorum is present. The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Common Stock in the aggregate constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business. The inspectors of election will treat abstentions as shares that are present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum but as unvoted for purposes of determining the approval of any matter submitted to the Shareholders for a vote. If a quorum exists, action on any matter (other than the election of Directors) is approved if the votes properly cast favoring the action exceed the votes properly cast opposing the action. Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes properly cast. If a broker indicates on the proxy that it does not have discretionary authority as to certain shares to vote on a particular matter, those shares will not be considered as present and entitled to vote with respect to that matter. The cost of this solicitation will be borne by the Company. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by use of the mails, officers and regular employees of the Company may communicate with Shareholders personally or by mail, telephone, telegram or otherwise for the purpose of soliciting such proxies. The Company has also retained ChaseMellon Shareholder Services, L.L.C. to aid in the solicitation of proxies from individual shareholders, brokerage firms, banks and institutional holders of shares. The fee for such services is $3,500 plus expenses. The Company will reimburse brokers and other nominees for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in forwarding solicitation material to beneficial owners of shares held of record by such brokers or nominees. A copy of the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders accompanies this Proxy Statement. THE COMPANY WAS REQUIRED TO FILE AN ANNUAL REPORT FOR ITS FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 ON FORM 10-K WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (THE "COMMISSION"). A COPY OF THE FORM IS INCLUDED WITH THE COMPANY'S ANNUAL REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS. SHAREHOLDERS MAY OBTAIN A COPY OF THE COMPLETE EXHIBITS TO THE 4 FORM 10-K BY WRITING TO ANACOMP, INC., 11550 N.

(k) Magten may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of shares owned by its investment advisory clients. Magten has shared voting power (with its investment advisory clients and Mr. Embry) and shared dispositive power (with its investment advisory clients and Mr. Embry) with respect to 3,815,805 and 4,753,748, respectively, shares of the Common Stock. All of such shares, which in the aggregate represent 34.4% of the Company's voting securities, are beneficially owned by the investment advisory clients of Magten and for which Magten disclaims beneficial ownership. The following investment advisory clients of Magten have an interest in more than 5% of the shares of Common Stock: General Motors Employees Domestic Group Pension Trust, Hughes Master Retirement Trust, and Los Angeles Fire and Police Pension Systems -- Fund 2525. (l) Franklin Resources, Inc. has sole voting power and shared dispositive power with respect to 1,444,670 shares of the Common Stock, for which Franklin disclaims beneficial ownership.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), requires the Company's directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than ten percent of the Common Stock, to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Officers, directors and greater than ten-percent beneficial owners are required by Commission regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on a review of the copies of such forms furnished to the Company and written representations from the Company's executive officers and directors, the Company believes that during the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997, one Section 16(a) filing was inadvertently filed late. The Company failed to file on a timely basis a report covering one transaction for Mr. Richard Jackson, a director. 3 6 ELECTION OF DIRECTORS (PROPOSAL 1) At the Annual Meeting seven directors are to be elected to serve for the ensuing year and until their respective successors are elected and qualified. The shares represented by the proxies will be voted for the nominees of the Board of Directors named below, unless otherwise specified on the proxy. Pursuant to the provisions of the By-laws, the Board of Directors has fixed the number of directors at seven. All directors are elected annually. If any nominee becomes unavailable for any reason or a vacancy should occur before election (which events are not anticipated), the shares represented by the proxies may be voted for such other person as may be determined by the holders of such proxies in accordance with the view of a majority of the directors. The following table sets forth the name of each nominee for director, his principal occupation and five-year business history, the year in which he first served as a director of the Company and his age. With the exception of Mr. Koehrer, each of the nominees first became a director of the Company on June 4, 1996, the date of the Company's emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

Ralph W. Koehrer was elected President, Chief Executive Officer and Director (effective May 1, 1997) on April 29, 1997 and President and Chief Operating Officer (effective January 6, 1997) on December 10, 1996. Prior to joining the Company, Mr. Koehrer was with Automatic Data Processing, Inc. ("ADP") for eleven years, most recently as Corporate Vice President of ADP and as President of ADP's Information and Processing Services division. Talton R. Embry has served as a director since June 4, 1996. Mr. Embry has been Chairman and Chief Investment Officer of Magten Asset Management Corporation, which is an investment advisory firm, since 1978. Mr. Embry is also a director of Combined Broadcasting, Inc., BDK Holdings, Inc. and Thermadyne Holdings Corp. On September 9, 1993, Magten and Talton R. Embry, without admitting or denying the allegations in a complaint by the Securities and Exchange Commission, consented to the entry of judgments enjoining them from violating (and, in the case of Mr. Embry, aiding and abetting violations of) anti-fraud and other provisions of the Exchange Act, the Investment Advisor's Act of 1940 and the Investment Company Act of 1940. The final judgment to the action, Securities and Exchange Commission v. Talton R. Embry and Magten Asset Management Corp., 93 Civ. 6294 (LMM) (filed September 9, 1993 S.D.N.Y.), was entered on September 14, 1993. The Commission's complaint alleged principally that Mr. Embry failed to advise his clients of certain personal and proprietary trades relevant to the clients' holdings and to comply with certain reporting requirements. As part of the settlement, Mr. Embry made a $1 million payment for the benefit of certain of Magten's clients. 4 7 At the same time, Mr. Embry, without admitting or denying the allegations in an order filed by the Commission, settled a parallel Commission administrative action against Mr. Embry. The administrative proceeding, the Matter of Talton R. Embry, Administrative Proceeding File No. 3-8153, was commenced by the Commission on September 16, 1993. In the settlement, Mr. Embry agreed to the appointment, for a period of five years, of an independent consultant approved by the Commission to oversee Mr. Embry's personal securities transactions and to conduct biannual compliance audits of Magten. Gerald Rath, Esq. of the law firm of Bingham Dana & Gould, Boston, Massachusetts, has been appointed and approved as the independent consultant. On April 28, 1995, a Revco Drug Stores, Inc. shareholder, suing derivatively on behalf of Revco, filed a complaint in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York which named Magten, Mr. Embry (a former director and Co-Chairman of Revco), certain of Magten's clients, and Revco as defendants. The complaint alleges that Magten's clients violated the "short swing profits" law, Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, by selling shares issued by Revco in a July, 1994, offering within six months of that offering. Magten's attorneys filed a motion for summary judgment because the allegedly violative conduct is expressly exempted from the "short swing profits" law. On February 6, 1996, the District Court dismissed the action in its entirety. On February 22, 1996, the plaintiff appealed the District Court's decision. On January 7, 1997, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court's opinion dismissing the derivative action brought in connection with the purchase and sale of Revco stock. On February 26, 1996, Magten and the Maryland Securities Commissioner entered into a consent order whereby Magten paid a fine of $1,500. The Maryland Securities Commissioner alleged that Magten effected investment advisory transactions in Maryland prior to its registration as a Maryland investment adviser. Magten is currently registered as an investment adviser in Maryland, and its activities are not restricted. Darius W. Gaskins, Jr. has served as a director since June 4, 1996.

TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND CHANGE OF CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS As discussed above, the employment agreements of Messrs. Lowrey, Koehrer, Simmons, Viles, Roth and Dicasali provide for certain payments in the event of a termination of employment or a change of control of the Company. BOARD OF DIRECTORS' COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee") determines the compensation and benefits of the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers of the Company and oversees the Company's stock option, employee stock purchase and other incentive programs. The Committee is composed solely of non-employee directors. The executive compensation policy of the Company, which is endorsed by the Committee, provides that a significant portion of the annual compensation of each executive officer relates to, and is contingent upon, the individual executive officer's performance. Accordingly, under the Committee's guidance, a significant portion of an executive officer's annual compensation is "at risk," at target levels during fiscal 1997 comprising approximately 35% (40% for the Chief Executive Officer) of total cash compensation. The Committee's goal is to set total cash compensation at levels required to attract and retain qualified persons in executive officer positions. To assist the Committee in this judgment, the Company retained the services of an outside consulting firm that compared levels of compensation of the Company's executive officers with compensation levels for officers of thirteen other companies selected as a peer group based on their line of business and size. The consulting firm has reported to the Company that the total compensation of the Company's executive officers is at or below the middle range of compensation levels of the companies in the executive compensation peer group. The companies in the executive compensation peer group are not the same as the companies included in the performance graph peer group. The Committee believes that the market for executive talent, and thus the companies appropriate for executive compensation comparisons, are different from the companies that may be alternative investments for shareholders. An executive officer's performance for purposes of compensation decisions is measured under the annual bonus plan against goals approved by the Committee at the beginning of the fiscal year. As a general principle 11 14 during fiscal 1997, the bonus goals of the executive officers were tied 70% to a profit objective and 30% to a revenue objective, in most cases at levels providing incentive to the executive officer to achieve profit and revenue objectives higher than the prior fiscal year's actual results. P. Lang Lowrey's compensation as Chief Executive Officer until his resignation effective April 30, 1997, was structured in accordance with the executive compensation policy discussed above. As Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Lowrey's compensation was determined pursuant to an employment agreement, effective as of October 1, 1996, that provided for a base salary and target bonus set at the middle range based on the review of the executive compensation peer group. Pursuant to the employment agreement, Mr. Lowrey was paid a $1 million severance allowance upon his resignation. In order to provide for a smooth transition, effective May 1, 1997, Mr. Lowrey entered into a consulting agreement with the Company that provided for, among other things, the termination of his employment agreement and compensation as provided in his employment agreement for the remainder of the fiscal year. The terms of Mr. Lowrey's employment agreement and consulting agreement are described above under "Executive Compensation -- Employment Contracts -- P. Lang Lowrey." Prior to his election as Chief Executive Officer effective May 1, 1997, Ralph W. Koehrer's compensation as President and Chief Operating Officer was structured in accordance with the executive compensation policy discussed above and pursuant to an employment agreement, effective as of January 6, 1997. Upon his election as Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Koehrer's employment agreement was amended to increase his base salary and target bonus to a level less than that paid to the former chief executive officer, which the Company believes is in the middle range based on the review of the executive compensation peer group. The terms of Mr. Koehrer's employment agreement are described above under "Executive Compensation -- Employment Contracts -- Ralph W. Koehrer." In fiscal 1997, the Company adopted the Anacomp, Inc. 1997 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan"). The Incentive Plan provides for the issuance of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards and other stock-based awards. Pursuant to the Incentive Plan, the Company granted to the Named Executive Officers the options set forth under "Executive Compensation -- Option Grants in Fiscal 1997." According to the report of the consulting firm referred to above, the options issued to Messrs. Lowrey and Koehrer in fiscal 1997 were at or below the middle range of stock option incentive opportunities for chief executive officers of companies in the executive compensation peer group. The Committee believes that the Incentive Plan aligns the interests of executive officers with those of shareholders and, thus, promotes the creation and protection of shareholder value.
