Date filed: August 13, 2001 3 SUMMARY TERM SHEET This summary and the remainder of this Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 include information describing the "going private" merger involving Day Runner, Inc., how it affects you, what your rights are with respect to the merger as a stockholder of Day Runner and the position of KAYSUN, Inc., KAYSUN Holdings LLC, Day Holdings LLC, and Osmond Acquisition Company LLC on the fairness of the merger to the unaffiliated stockholders of Day Runner (that is, the stockholders other than KAYSUN Holdings LLC and its affiliates). PURPOSE OF THE MERGER (PAGE 10). - KAYSUN Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of KAYSUN Holdings, will own approximately 90.6% (or more, if shares are separately purchased) of the outstanding shares of Day Runner common stock immediately following conversion by KAYSUN Holdings of approximately $27 million principal amount of Day Runner senior secured convertible debt, which the owners of KAYSUN Holdings acquired from unaffiliated lenders in a series of transactions between August 7, 2000 and June 1, 2001 and then assigned to KAYSUN Holdings on August 8, 2001. KAYSUN Holdings is a Delaware limited liability company, the equity interests of which are held 50% by Day Holdings and 50% by Osmond Acquisition Company. KAYSUN Holdings is now proposing to cause KAYSUN Inc. to merge with Day Runner as a means of acquiring all of the other shares of Day Runner common stock and to provide a source of liquidity to holders of those shares. PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE MERGER. - THE MERGER (PAGE 24). KAYSUN Holdings holds senior secured convertible debt of Day Runner which is currently convertible into a maximum of 23,200,000 shares of Day Runner common stock, or approximately 90.6% of the outstanding common stock of Day Runner after conversion. KAYSUN Holdings intends to convert that debt into 23,200,000 shares of Day Runner common stock. It then intends to contribute those shares to KAYSUN Inc. and to cause KAYSUN Inc. to merge into Day Runner on September 26, 2001 (or as soon thereafter as possible) pursuant to a "short-form" merger. As a result of the "short-form" merger, each share of Day Runner common stock not owned by KAYSUN Inc. will be converted into the right to receive $0.10 in cash. Day Runner will not be required to enter into a merger agreement with KAYSUN Inc., and KAYSUN Inc. does not intend to seek the approval of the directors of Day Runner for the merger. Stockholders of Day Runner will not be entitled to vote their shares with respect to the merger. - MERGER CONSIDERATION (PAGE 8). The consideration in the merger will be $0.10 per share in cash. - DAY RUNNER SHARES OUTSTANDING; OWNERSHIP BY KAYSUN HOLDINGS LLC AND KAYSUN INC. (PAGES 8 AND 19). As of July 31, 2001, a total of 2,408,796 shares of Day Runner common stock were outstanding. In addition, as of July 31, 2001, options and warrants to purchase an additional 462,583 shares of Day Runner common stock were outstanding. However, each of the options and warrants is exercisable at a price well in -3- 4 excess of $0.10 per share. As of July 31, 2001, a total of 23,200,000 shares of Day Runner common stock were issuable upon the exercise of conversion rights under $26,680,000 principal amount of Day Runner's outstanding senior secured convertible debt, all of which is held by KAYSUN Holdings. Accordingly, KAYSUN Holdings has the right to acquire up to 23,200,000 shares of Day Runner common stock, or approximately 90.6% of the outstanding shares of Day Runner common stock that would have been outstanding as of July 31, 2001 if the debt had been converted on that date. - PAYMENT FOR SHARES (PAGE 24). We will pay you for your shares of Day Runner common stock promptly after the effective date of the merger. Instructions for surrendering your stock certificates will be set forth in a Notice of Merger and Appraisal Rights and a Letter of Transmittal, which will be mailed to stockholders of record of Day Runner within 10 calendar days following the date the merger becomes effective and should be read carefully. Please do not submit your stock certificates before you have received these documents. Sending us your stock certificates with a properly signed Letter of Transmittal will waive your appraisal rights described below. See Item 4, "Terms of the Transaction," in this Schedule 13E-3. - OTHER POSSIBLE PURCHASES OF DAY RUNNER COMMON STOCK (PAGE 9). If, before the merger is effective, the aggregate ownership by KAYSUN Holdings and KAYSUN Inc. of the outstanding shares of Day Runner common stock should fall below 90% because of the exercise of outstanding options or for any other reason, KAYSUN Inc. intends to acquire additional shares of Day Runner common stock on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions to the extent required for the aggregate ownership of Day Runner common stock by KAYSUN Holdings and KAYSUN Inc. to equal or exceed 90%. These purchases would be made at market prices or privately negotiated prices at the time of purchase, which may be higher or lower than the $0.10 per share price offered in the merger. An aggregate of 358,723 shares of Day Runner common stock are held by two individual members of Day Holdings, with whom KAYSUN Holdings has an informal understanding that it may acquire such shares at a price not to exceed $0.10 per share. Their shares represent approximately 1.4% of the Day Runner shares outstanding assuming conversion of the convertible debt as described above. - SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS (PAGE 33). The total amount of funds expected to be required by KAYSUN Inc. to pay the merger consideration for Day Runner common stock in the merger, and to pay related fees and expenses, is estimated to be approximately $350,000, assuming no outstanding options or warrants to acquire Day Runner common stock are exercised prior to the merger. KAYSUN Holdings will obtain the funds from Day Holdings and Osmond Acquisition as a capital contribution. THE FILING PERSONS' POSITION ON THE FAIRNESS OF THE MERGER (PAGE 13). The Filing Persons have concluded that the merger is both substantively and procedurally fair to the unaffiliated stockholders of Day Runner, based primarily on the following factors: -4- 5 - Day Runner has defaulted on its obligations under approximately $65.1 million of senior secured debt held by KAYSUN Holdings, which debt is secured by substantially all of the assets of Day Runner, entitling KAYSUN Holdings to foreclose on all of such Day Runner assets, in which event Day Runner would have no material net assets and the Day Runner common stock would have no value. - In light of Day Runner's current financial condition, the Filing Persons believe the merger to be the only viable alternative to causing Day Runner to file for reorganization relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code and to propose and confirm a reorganization plan pursuant to which the outstanding shares of Day Runner common stock could be cancelled for no consideration and KAYSUN Holdings would receive 100% of the equity of Day Runner. - Although the Filing Persons could have caused KAYSUN Holdings to foreclose on Day Runner's assets or caused Day Runner to file for reorganization relief, the Filing Persons chose instead to cause the merger because they believe that the merger will be less disruptive to Day Runner's business, less distracting to management, and more favorable to the unaffiliated stockholders. - The Filing Persons believe that the amount of Day Runner's total liabilities far exceed the fair market value of Day Runner's assets, as supported by the fact that unaffiliated lenders, each a sophisticated financial institution, sold approximately $57.4 million principal amount of outstanding senior secured debt of Day Runner on a negotiated, arms length basis to Day Holdings and Osmond Acquisition in May and June of 2001 for approximately $12.1 million (or 21.1% of its principal amount). The Filing Persons believe that these transactions involving the purchase of Day Runner's debt provide the most recent and relevant fair market valuation indications for the entire company. As of July 31, 2001, any transaction or valuation of Day Runner would have to provide for at least approximately $65.1 million of value to KAYSUN Holdings because of its 100% ownership of the senior secured debt of Day Runner and also satisfy approximately $13.4 million of other liabilities of Day Runner as of March 31, 2001 before any value would be available to the common shareholders of Day Runner. - Based on the most recently available audited and unaudited balance sheets of Day Runner, each share of Day Runner's common stock has a negative book value. - The merger represents an opportunity for the unaffiliated stockholders of Day Runner to realize cash for their shares, which would otherwise be extremely difficult or impossible given the illiquidity of the market for shares of Day Runner common stock. - The merger will provide consideration to the Company's unaffiliated stockholders entirely in cash and is not subject to any financing condition. - The unaffiliated stockholders of Day Runner are entitled to exercise appraisal rights and demand "fair value" for their shares as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery, -5- 6 which may be determined to be more or less than the cash consideration offered in the merger. - Day Runner will likely be unable to continue to operate as a going concern, given general economic, business and industry conditions, the historical financial performance of Day Runner and Day Runner's inability to satisfy its debt obligations. - To the knowledge of the Filing Persons, there have been no firm offers for the acquisition or control of Day Runner or its assets during the last two years; however, the Filing Persons are aware of a non-binding letter of intent and an expression of interest provided by two different parties within the last six months to acquire the assets of Day Runner from Day Runner's lenders at prices that were significantly below the face value of the senior secured debt of Day Runner and also below the price paid for such debt by Day Holdings and Osmond Acquisition in May and June of 2001. See "Special Factors -- Fairness of the Merger -- Factors Considered in Determining Fairness." - POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. KAYSUN Holdings may be deemed to be in control of Day Runner because it has the right to acquire approximately 90.6% of Day Runner's common stock upon conversion of a portion of its Day Runner debt. Each of Day Holdings and Osmond Acquisition Company has a 50% ownership interest in KAYSUN Holdings. Mark Majeske, the chief executive officer of Day Runner is a member of Day Holdings and was appointed to his position at Day Runner after having been introduced to Day Runner as a consultant by one of the members of KAYSUN Holdings. Accordingly, there are various actual or potential conflicts of interest in connection with the merger. CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER (PAGE 12). Completion of the merger will have the following consequences: - Day Runner will be a privately held corporation, with KAYSUN Holdings owning 100% of the equity interest in Day Runner and its business. - Only the Filing Persons will have the opportunity to participate in the future earnings and growth, if any, of Day Runner. Similarly, only the Filing Persons will face the risk of losses generated by Day Runner's operations or the decline in value of Day Runner after the merger. - The shares of Day Runner common stock will no longer be publicly traded. In addition, Day Runner will no longer be subject to the reporting and other disclosure requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including requirements to file annual and other periodic reports or to provide the type of going-private disclosure contained in this Schedule 13E-3. -6- 7 - Subject to the exercise of statutory appraisal rights, each of your shares will be converted into the right to receive $0.10 in cash, without interest. APPRAISAL RIGHTS (PAGE 25). - You have a statutory right to dissent from the merger and demand payment of the fair value of your Day Runner shares as determined in a judicial appraisal proceeding in accordance with Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, plus a fair rate of interest, if any, from the date of the merger. This value may be more or less than the $0.10 per share in cash consideration offered in the merger. In order to qualify for these rights, you must make a written demand for appraisal within 20 days after the date of mailing of the Notice of Merger and Appraisal Rights and otherwise comply with the procedures for exercising appraisal rights set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law. The statutory right of dissent is set out in Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and is complicated. Any failure to comply with its terms will result in an irrevocable loss of such right. Stockholders seeking to exercise their statutory right of dissent are encouraged to seek advice from legal counsel. See Item 4(d), "Terms of the Transaction -- Appraisal Rights," in this Schedule 13E-3. FOR MORE INFORMATION (PAGE 19). - More information regarding Day Runner is available from its public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. See Item 2, "Subject Company Information," and Item 3, "Identity and Background of Filing Persons," in this Schedule 13E-3. - If you have any questions about the merger, please contact David J. Shladovsky at 310-284-6438. -7- 8 INTRODUCTION This Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 (the "Schedule 13E-3") is being filed by (i) KAYSUN Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("KAYSUN Holdings"), (ii) KAYSUN Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of KAYSUN Holdings ("KAYSUN Inc."), (iii) Day Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Day Holdings"), and (iv) Osmond Acquisition Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Osmond Acquisition" and, together with KAYSUN Holdings, KAYSUN Inc., and Day Holdings, the "Filing Persons"), pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and Rule 13e-3 thereunder. Day Holdings and Osmond Acquisition each hold fifty percent (50%) of the membership interests of KAYSUN Holdings. This Schedule 13E-3 is being filed in connection with a short-form merger (the "Merger") of KAYSUN Inc. with and into Day Runner, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company" or "Day Runner"), pursuant to Section 253 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL"). The effective date (the "Effective Date") of the Merger is expected to be September 26, 2001 or as soon thereafter as possible. As of July 31, 2001, there were issued and outstanding 2,408,796 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the "Shares"), of the Company. As of July 31, 2001, KAYSUN Holdings held approximately $29 million principal amount of the senior secured convertible debt (the "Convertible Debt") of the Company (not including approximately $750,000 in accrued but unpaid interest on such Convertible Debt which may be paid in kind at the Company's election and added to principal). KAYSUN Holdings intends to convert $26,680,000 principal amount of the Convertible Debt into 23,200,000 Shares, or approximately 90.6% of the total Shares outstanding after conversion, and to contribute such Shares to KAYSUN Inc. immediately before the Effective Date. On the Effective Date, KAYSUN Holdings intends to acquire through the Merger the Shares that KAYSUN Inc. does not then own. Upon the consummation of the Merger, each outstanding Share will be cancelled and each outstanding Share not held by KAYSUN Inc., the Company and stockholders of the Company who properly exercise statutory appraisal rights under the DGCL, will be automatically converted into the right to receive $0.10 per Share in cash (the "Merger Price"), without interest, upon surrender of the certificate for such Share to U.S. Stock Transfer Corporation (the "Paying Agent"). Instructions with regard to the surrender of stock certificates, together with a description of statutory appraisal rights, will be set forth in a Notice of Merger and Appraisal Rights and a Letter of Transmittal, which documents will be mailed to stockholders of record of the Company on the Effective Date and should be read carefully. Under the DGCL, no action is required by the Board of Directors or the stockholders of the Company, other than KAYSUN Inc., for the Merger to become effective. The Company will be the surviving corporation in the Merger. As a result of the Merger, KAYSUN Holdings will be the only stockholder of the Company. As of July 31, 2001, options to purchase a total of 338,485 Shares (the "Options") were outstanding under the Company's 1986 Stock Option Plan, 1995 Stock Option Plan and Non- -8- 9 Employee Director Stock Option Plan, and warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase a total of 124,098 shares were also outstanding. The exercise prices of the outstanding Options and Warrants range from $0.42 to $110.63. Although unlikely, it is possible that some of the Options or Warrants will be exercised before the Effective Date. If, before the Effective Date, the aggregate ownership by KAYSUN Holdings and KAYSUN Inc. of the outstanding Shares should fall below 90% because of the exercise of outstanding Options or Warrants or for any other reason, KAYSUN Inc. intends to acquire additional Shares on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions to the extent required for the aggregate ownership of Day Runner common stock by KAYSUN Holdings and KAYSUN Inc. to equal or exceed 90%. These purchases would be made at market prices or privately negotiated prices at the time of purchase, which may be higher or lower than the Merger Price. An aggregate of 358,723 Shares are held by two individual members of Day Holdings, with whom KAYSUN Holdings has an informal understanding that it may acquire such Shares at a price not to exceed $0.10 per share. Their shares represent approximately 1.4% of the outstanding Shares, assuming conversion of the Convertible Debt as described above. This Schedule 13E-3 and the documents incorporated by reference in this Schedule 13E-3 include certain forward-looking statements. These statements appear throughout this Schedule 13E-3 and include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of the Filing Persons, including statements concerning the Filing Persons' strategies following completion of the Merger. Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those described in such forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. -9- 10 SPECIAL FACTORS PURPOSES, ALTERNATIVES, REASONS AND EFFECTS OF THE MERGER PURPOSES KAYSUN Inc. will own approximately 90.6% (or more, if shares are separately purchased) of the outstanding Shares upon conversion by KAYSUN Holdings of $26,680,000 principal amount of the Company's senior secured convertible debt and the contribution of such Shares to KAYSUN Inc. The owners of KAYSUN Holdings acquired all of the Company's senior secured debt (the "Debt") in a series of transactions between August 7, 2000 and June 1, 2001, and assigned the Debt to KAYSUN Holdings on August 8, 2001. The principal amount of the Company's Debt (including unpaid accrued interest which may be paid in kind at the Company's election and added to principal) is currently approximately $65.1 million. After conversion, there will remain approximately $38.4 million of Debt held by KAYSUN Holdings. The purpose of the Merger is to enable KAYSUN Holdings to acquire all of the outstanding equity interest in the Company and to provide a source of liquidity to the stockholders of the Company other than KAYSUN Inc. and the Company (the "Public Stockholders"). ALTERNATIVES The Filing Persons believe that effecting the transaction by way of a short-form merger with KAYSUN Inc. under Section 253 of the DGCL is the quickest and most cost-effective way for KAYSUN Holdings to acquire the outstanding public minority equity interest in the Company and to provide value and liquidity to the Public Stockholders. The Filing Persons considered and rejected the alternative of causing the Company to file a petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code and propose a plan of reorganization because of its potential adverse impact on the business of the Company and the cost, delay and uncertainty associated with bankruptcy proceedings. Similarly, the Filing Persons considered and rejected the foreclosing of the Company's assets because of its potential adverse impact on the business of the Company and the cost, delay and uncertainty associated with foreclosure. The Filing Persons did not consider a long-form merger to be a viable alternative because the approvals of the Company's Board of Directors and of the Public Stockholders would be required under applicable law and would unnecessarily cause delay and cause Day Runner to incur additional costs and expenses associated with such a process. Similarly, the Filing Persons did not consider a tender offer to be a viable alternative as it would entail additional costs, and a subsequent short-form merger could still be required. REASONS In determining whether to acquire the outstanding public minority equity interest in the Company and to effect the Merger, the Filing Persons considered the following factors to be the principal benefits of taking the Company private: - the reduction in the amount of public information available to competitors about the Company's businesses that would result from the termination of the -10- 11 Company's obligations under the reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"); - the elimination of additional burdens on management associated with public reporting and other tasks resulting from the Company's public company status, including, for example, the dedication of time by and resources of the Company's management and Board of Directors to stockholder and analyst inquiries and investor and public relations; - the decrease in costs, particularly those associated with being a public company (for example, as a privately-held entity, the Company would no longer be required to file quarterly, annual or other periodic reports with the Commission or publish and distribute to its stockholders annual reports and proxy statements), that the Filing Persons anticipate could result in savings of approximately $500,000 per year, including audit and legal fees; - the greater flexibility that the Company's management would have to focus on long-term business goals, as opposed to quarterly earnings, as a non-reporting company, particularly in light of the potential volatility in the Company's quarterly earnings; and - recent public capital market trends affecting small-cap companies, including perceived lack of interest by institutional investors in companies with a limited public float. The Filing Persons also considered the advantages and disadvantages of certain alternatives to acquiring the minority stockholder interest in the Company, including leaving the Company as a majority-owned, public subsidiary. In the view of the Filing Persons, the principal advantage of leaving the Company as a majority-owned, public subsidiary would be the ability of the Filing Persons to invest for other purposes the cash that would otherwise be required to buy the minority stockholder interest in the Company. The disadvantages of leaving the Company as a majority-owned, public subsidiary which were considered by the Filing Persons included the inability to achieve many of the benefits discussed above. The Filing Persons concluded that the advantages of leaving the Company as a majority-owned, public subsidiary were significantly outweighed by the disadvantages of doing so, and accordingly that alternative was rejected. The Filing Persons also considered the low volume of trading in the Shares and considered that the Merger would result in immediate, enhanced liquidity for the Public Stockholders. In addition, the Filing Persons considered trends in the price of the Shares in the past twelve months. The Filing Persons have determined to effect the Merger at this time (i.e., as promptly as practicable after acquiring beneficial ownership of 90% of the Shares) because they wish to immediately realize the benefits of taking the Company private, as discussed above; the Filing Persons were not able to effect a transaction like the Merger before acquiring a significant equity -11- 12 interest in the Company. The Company's stock price was not a significant factor in the timing of the Filing Persons' decision to propose the Merger. This Rule 13e-3 transaction is structured as a short-form merger under Section 253 of the DGCL. This form of merger allows the Public Stockholders to receive cash for their Shares quickly and allows the Company to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of KAYSUN Holdings without any action by the Board of Directors of the Company or the Public Stockholders. EFFECTS General. Upon completion of the Merger, the Filing Persons will have complete control over the conduct of the Company's business and will have a 100% interest in the net assets, the net book value and the net earnings of the Company. In addition, the Filing Persons will receive the benefit of the right to participate in any future increases in the value of the Company and will bear the complete risk of any losses incurred in the operation of the Company and any decrease in the value of the Company. The Filing Persons will indirectly realize all of the benefit in the estimated $500,000 of cost savings resulting from the Company no longer being public. The Filing Persons' beneficial ownership of the Company immediately prior to the Merger in the aggregate will amount to approximately 90.6%. Upon completion of the Merger, the Filing Persons' interest in the Company's negative book value ($9.5 million on June 30, 2000, assuming conversion of the Convertible Debt) and net loss ($104.8 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, assuming conversion of the Convertible Debt) will increase from approximately 90.6% to 100% of those amounts. The Filing Persons do not believe that the Merger will have any positive or negative effect on whether the Filing Persons will be able to use any of the Company's prior tax losses to shelter any future income. Stockholders. Upon completion of the Merger, the Public Stockholders will no longer have any interest in, and will not be stockholders of, the Company and therefore will not participate in the Company's future earnings and potential growth and will no longer bear the risk of any decreases in the value of the Company. In addition, the Public Stockholders will not share in any distribution of proceeds after any sales of businesses of the Company, whether contemplated at the time of the Merger or thereafter. See Item 6(c), "Purposes of the Transaction and Plans or Proposals -- Plans." All of the Public Stockholders' other incidents of stock ownership, such as the rights to vote on certain corporate decisions, to elect directors, to receive distributions upon the liquidation of the Company and to receive appraisal rights upon certain mergers or consolidations of the Company (unless such appraisal rights are perfected in connection with the Merger), as well as the benefit of potential increases in the value of a Public Stockholder's holdings in the Company based on any improvements in the Company's future performance, will be extinguished upon completion of the Merger. Upon completion of the Merger, the Public Stockholders also will not bear the risks of potential decreases in the value of their holdings in the Company based on any downturns in the Company's future performance. Instead, the Public Stockholders will have liquidity, in the form of the Merger Price, in place of an ongoing equity interest in the Company, in the form of the Shares. In summary, if the Merger is completed, the Public Stockholders will have no ongoing rights as stockholders of the Company (other than statutory appraisal rights in the case of Public Stockholders who are entitled to and perfect such rights under Delaware law). -12- 13 The Shares. Once the Merger is consummated, public trading of the Shares will cease. The Filing Persons intend to deregister the Shares under the Exchange Act. As a result, the Company will no longer be required to file annual, quarterly and other periodic reports with the Commission under Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act and will no longer be subject to the proxy rules under Section 14 of the Exchange Act. In addition, the principal stockholder of the Company will no longer be subject to reporting its ownership of Shares under Section 13 of the Exchange Act or to the requirement under Section 16 of the Exchange Act to disgorge to the Company certain profits from the purchase and sale of Shares. Treatment of Options and Warrants. The Company has outstanding Options and Warrants to purchase 462,583 Shares. On the Effective Date, options to purchase 6,460 Shares under the Company's 1986 Stock Option Plan and Warrants to purchase 119,098 Shares will terminate, and all other Options and Warrants not yet vested will become immediately exercisable. If an Option or Warrant is exercised prior to the Merger, each share received upon such exercise will become the right to receive the Merger Price. Because the exercise price of the Options and Warrants in each case well exceeds the Merger Price, the Options and Warrants have no apparent value and it is unlikely that they will be exercised. CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER. The following is a general summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Merger to beneficial owners of Shares. This summary is based upon the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), applicable treasury regulations thereunder, judicial decisions and current administrative rulings as in effect on the date of this Schedule 13E-3. The discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to particular taxpayers in light of their personal circumstances or to taxpayers subject to special treatment under the Code (for example, life insurance companies, dealers in securities and other taxpayers subject to the mark-to-market rules, foreign persons and beneficial owners whose Shares were acquired pursuant to the exercise of warrants, employee stock options or otherwise as compensation) and does not address any aspect of state, local, foreign or other taxation. The receipt of cash by a stockholder, pursuant to the Merger or pursuant to the exercise of the stockholder's statutory appraisal rights, will be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes and may also be taxable for state and local income tax purposes as well. Accordingly, a stockholder will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between (i) the amount of cash that such stockholder receives in the Merger and (ii) such stockholder's adjusted tax basis in its Shares. Such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss if the stockholder holds the Shares as a capital asset, and generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if, at the effective date of the Merger, the stockholder has held the Shares for more than one year. The cash payments made to a stockholder pursuant to the Merger will be subject to U.S. federal backup withholding unless the stockholder provides the Paying Agent with his, her or its tax identification number (social security number or employer identification number) and certifies that such number is correct, or unless an exemption from backup withholding applies. -13- 14 EACH BENEFICIAL OWNER OF SHARES IS URGED TO CONSULT SUCH BENEFICIAL OWNER'S TAX ADVISER AS TO THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES TO SUCH BENEFICIAL OWNER OF THE MERGER, INCLUDING THE APPLICATION OF STATE, LOCAL, FOREIGN AND OTHER TAX LAWS. FAIRNESS OF THE MERGER POSITION OF THE FILING PERSONS AS TO THE FAIRNESS OF THE MERGER Because KAYSUN Holdings currently beneficially owns a majority of the Shares (since it has the right to acquire such Shares at any time upon conversion of the Convertible Debt), the Filing Persons may be deemed "affiliates" of the Company within the meaning of Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act. Accordingly, the rules of the Commission require the Filing Persons, as affiliates of the Company, to express their belief as to the substantive and procedural fairness of the Merger to the Company's unaffiliated stockholders (i.e., the Public Stockholders). Each of the Filing Persons has determined that the Merger is both substantively and procedurally fair to the Public Stockholders. This belief is based on the following factors: - Day Runner has defaulted on its obligations under approximately $65.1 million of the senior secured debt held by KAYSUN Holdings, which debt is secured by substantially all of the assets of Day Runner, entitling KAYSUN Holdings to foreclose on all of such Day Runner assets in which event Day Runner would have no material net assets and the Day Runner Common Stock would have no value. - In light of Day Runner's current financial condition, the Filing Persons believe the Merger to be the only viable alternative to causing Day Runner to file for reorganization relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code and to propose and confirm a reorganization plan pursuant to which the outstanding shares of Day Runner common stock could be cancelled for no consideration and KAYSUN Holdings would receive 100% of the equity of Day Runner. - Although the Filing Persons could have caused KAYSUN Holdings to foreclose on Day Runner's assets or caused Day Runner to file for reorganization relief, the Filing Persons chose instead to cause the merger because they believe that the merger will be less disruptive to Day Runner's business, less distracting to management, and more favorable to the unaffiliated stockholders. - The Filing Persons believe that the amount of Day Runner's total liabilities far exceed the fair market value of Day Runner's assets, as supported by the fact that unaffiliated lenders, each a sophisticated financial institution, sold approximately $57.4 million principal amount of Debt on a negotiated, arms-length basis to Day Holdings and Osmond Acquisition in May and June of 2001 for approximately $12.1 million (or 21.1% of its principal amount). The Filing Persons believe that these transactions involving the purchase of Day Runner's Debt provide the most recent and relevant fair market valuation indications for the entire company. As of July 31, 2001, any transaction or valuation of Day Runner would have to provide for at least approximately $65.1 million -14- 15 of value to KAYSUN Holdings because of their 100% ownership of the Debt and also satisfy approximately $13.4 million of other liabilities of Day Runner as of March 31, 2001 before any value would be available to the common shareholders of Day Runner. - Based on the most recently available audited and unaudited balance sheets of Day Runner, each share of Day Runner's common stock has a negative book value. - The merger represents an opportunity for the unaffiliated stockholders of Day Runner to realize cash for their shares, which would otherwise be extremely difficult or impossible given the illiquidity of the market for shares of Day Runner common stock. - The merger will provide consideration to the Company's unaffiliated stockholders entirely in cash and is not subject to any financing condition. - The unaffiliated stockholders of Day Runner are entitled to exercise appraisal rights and demand "fair value" for their shares as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery, which may be determined to be more or less than the cash consideration offered in the merger. - Day Runner will likely be unable to continue to operate as a going concern, given general economic, business and industry conditions, the historical financial performance of Day Runner and Day Runner's inability to satisfy its debt obligations. - To the knowledge of the Filing Persons, there have been no firm offers for the acquisition or control of Day Runner or its assets during the last two years; however, the Filing Persons are aware of a non-binding letter of intent and an expression of interest provided by two different parties within the last six months to acquire the assets of Day Runner from Day Runner's lenders at prices that were significantly below the face value of the Debt and also below the price paid for the Debt by Day Holdings and Osmond Acquisition in May and June of 2001. Although the Merger does not require the approval of a majority of unaffiliated stockholders or a majority of disinterested directors and there has not been a representative of the unaffiliated stockholders to negotiate on their behalf, the Filing Persons believe that the Merger is procedurally fair because the unaffiliated stockholders will be entitled to exercise appraisal rights to have determined and to receive a court-determined fair value for their Shares under Section 262 of the DGCL (see Item 4(d), "Terms of the Transaction -- Appraisal Rights") and because the Filing Persons are providing advance notice of the Merger and believe that they have disclosed fully the relevant information to permit unaffiliated stockholders to determine whether to accept the Merger Price or to seek appraisal for their Shares. Moreover, the Merger has been structured in compliance with Section 253 of the DGCL, which prescribes procedures for "short-form" mergers. In order to evaluate and reach conclusions in connection with the above factors, the Filing Persons conducted various analyses which are described as follows: -15- 16 Insolvency Analysis. The Filing Persons considered the inability of the Company to make scheduled payments of principal and interest on, and generally remain in compliance with respect to agreements governing, its secured indebtedness. Because the Filing Persons are the holders of the Debt, the Filing Persons could elect to cause the Company to file for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code and to propose and confirm a reorganization plan pursuant to which, under the Company's current financial condition, as discussed below, the outstanding Shares would be cancelled for no consideration and KAYSUN Holdings would receive 100% of the equity of the Company in exchange for forgiveness of some or all of the Company's secured indebtedness. Foreclosure Analysis. KAYSUN Holdings holds senior debt of the Company that is secured by substantially all of the Company's assets. The Company is currently in default with respect to such indebtedness; accordingly, KAYSUN Holdings could at any time elect to foreclose on the Company's assets to partially satisfy the Company's obligations with respect to the indebtedness. Because the value of the Company's assets is less than the principal amount of the debt, as discussed below, such a foreclosure would leave the Company with no assets with which to conduct any business. If the Company were not able to conduct any business, the Shares would have no value. Book Value Analysis. Based on the Company's (i) audited balance sheet at June 30, 2000 and (ii) unaudited balance sheet at March 30, 2001, the Company had total stockholder deficiencies, or negative book values, of $9.6 million and $32.5 million, at such respective balance sheet dates, resulting in book values per Share, assuming conversion of the Convertible Debt into 23,200,000 Shares and excluding Shares held in treasury and Shares issuable upon exercise options and warrants with respect to which the exercise price exceeds the Merger Price, of -$0.38 and -$1.27, respectively. Fair Value and "Going Concern" Analysis. The Filing Persons believe that the best independent indication of the fair value of the Company's assets and of the Company's "going concern" value is the price at which the former holders of the Debt, each of which is a sophisticated financial institution, were willing to sell the Debt to Day Holdings and Osmond Acquisition in May and June 2001. Day Holdings and Osmond Acquisition purchased an aggregate principal amount of $57.4 million of the Debt from such holders for total consideration of approximately $12.1 million. By agreeing to sell such portion of the Debt, which is secured by substantially all of the Company's assets, for approximately 21.1% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, the Company's former secured lenders acted in a manner consistent with a belief that the fair value of the Company's assets is significantly less than the amount of its liabilities and that the Company has no "going concern" value at its current level of indebtedness. See Item 5(e), "Past Contacts, Transactions, Negotiations and Agreements Agreements Involving the Subject Company's Securities". Liquidity Analysis. The Merger Price is lower than the price at which Shares have recently traded in the over-the-counter market, but the Filing Persons do not believe that the trading prices reflect the actual value of the Shares or that a significant number of Shares could be sold for such recent trading prices. The Filing Persons believe that the liquidity that will result from the Merger would be beneficial to the Public Stockholders because the Filing Persons' significant ownership of Shares results in a relatively small public float that necessarily -16- 17 limits the amount of trading in the Shares and eliminates the possibility that a proposal to acquire the Shares would be made by an independent entity without the consent of the Filing Persons. The Filing Persons intend to retain their majority holdings in the Company, which forecloses the opportunity to consider an alternative transaction with a third party purchaser of the Company or otherwise provide liquidity to the Public Stockholders. Accordingly, finding a third party buyer for the Company is not a realistic option for the Public Stockholders. None of the Filing Persons has solicited or received an offer for the Company from a third party in the prior two years. The Filing Persons have considered all of the foregoing factors and related analyses as a whole to support their belief that the Merger is substantively and procedurally fair to the Public Stockholders. In addition to the foregoing factors and analyses that support the Filing Persons' belief that the Merger is procedurally and substantively fair to the Public Stockholders, the Filing Person have considered the following four factors: - following the consummation of the Merger, the Public Stockholders will cease to participate in the future earning or growth, if any, of the Company, or benefit from an increase, if any, in the value of their holdings in the Company; - the interests of the Filing Persons in determining the Merger Price are adverse to the interests of the Public Stockholders and the fact that certain officers and directors of the Company may have actual or potential conflicts of interest in connection with the Merger as disclosed herein; - because the Merger is being effected pursuant to a short-form merger under Section 253 of the GDCL and consequently does not require approval by the Company's board of directors or the Company's stockholders (other than the Filing Person), neither the Company's board of directors nor the Public Stockholders will have the opportunity to vote on the Merger; and - the Company's board of directors did not establish a special committee consisting of non-management, independent directors for the purpose of representing solely the interests of the Public Stockholders and retaining independent advisers to assist with the evaluation of strategic alternatives, including the Merger. After having given these additional four factors due consideration, the Filing Persons have concluded that none of these factors, alone or in the aggregate, is significant enough to outweigh the factors and analyses that the Filing Persons have considered to support their belief that the Merger is substantively and procedurally fair to the Public Stockholders. In view of the number and wide variety of factors considered in connection with making a determination as to the fairness of the Merger to the Public Stockholders, and the complexity of these matters, the Filing Persons did not find it practicable to, nor did they attempt to, quantify, rank or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors they considered. Moreover, the Filing Persons have not undertaken to make any specific determination or assign any particular -17- 18 weight to any single factor, but have conducted an overall analysis of the factors described above. The Filing Persons have not considered any factors, other than as stated above, regarding the fairness of the Merger to the Public Stockholders, as it is their view that the factors they considered provided a reasonable basis to form their belief. Specifically, in forming their belief as to the fairness of the Merger to the Public Stockholders, the Filing Persons did not consider the purchase prices paid by them for past purchases of Shares or the fact that they did not attempt to "shop" the Company to prospective buyers as an alternative to the Merger because the Company's financial condition has materially worsened since such purchases were made. The Filing Persons did not consider the purchase prices paid by the Filing Persons for past purchases of Shares to be material to their conclusion regarding the fairness of the Merger because the prices paid or deemed to have been paid for such Shares may not reflect the current value of the Company, considering its current level of indebtedness. The Filing Persons believe that "shopping" the Company would not only entail substantial time delays and detract from the amount of management's time and energy focused on the Company's business, but would also disrupt and discourage the Company's employees and create extreme uncertainty among the Company's customers and suppliers. The Filing Persons also have knowledge that the prior holders of the Debt unsuccessfully "shopped" the Company between the second quarter of 2000 and the second quarter of 2001, and the Filing Persons have considered the apparent results of those efforts in their determination that the Merger is fair to the Public Stockholders. In addition, the Filing Persons did not consider current or historical market prices for the Shares as relevant to their belief that the Merger is fair. Historical market prices do not reflect the Company's current financial condition, which has generally continued to worsen over the last several years. The Filing Persons believe that market prices for the Shares immediately prior to the public announcement of the Merger, which were higher than the Merger Price, are not indicative of the fair value of the Shares. The trading volumes at that time were extremely low, and the Filing Persons believe that most stockholders would not have been able to sell their Shares at those prices due to the general lack of liquidity for the Shares. The Filing Persons believe that any trades at that time were speculative and did not reflect any measure of the fair or intrinsic value of the Shares. -18- 19 REPORTS, OPINIONS, APPRAISALS AND NEGOTIATIONS The Filing Persons have not engaged any third parties to perform any financial analysis of, or prepare any reports, opinions or appraisals concerning, the Merger or value of the Shares and, accordingly, the Filing Persons have not received any report, opinion or appraisal from an outside party relating to the fairness of the Merger Price being offered to the Public Stockholders or the fairness of the Merger to the Filing Persons or to the Public Stockholders. -19- 20 TRANSACTION STATEMENT ITEM 1.

ITEM 4. TERMS OF THE TRANSACTION (a) MATERIAL TERMS. Prior to the Effective Date, KAYSUN Holdings plans to contribute up to 23,200,000 Shares to KAYSUN Inc., representing in the aggregate approximately 90.6% of the Shares that would have been outstanding on July 31, 2001 if the Convertible Debt had been converted as of such date. On the Effective Date, KAYSUN Inc. will merge with and into the Company pursuant to Section 253 of the DGCL, with the Company to be the surviving corporation. To so merge, the Board of Directors and the stockholder of KAYSUN Inc. will approve the Merger and KAYSUN Inc. will file a Certificate of Ownership and Merger with the Secretary of State of Delaware. On the Effective Date: - each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date will be cancelled and extinguished and each such Share (other than Shares owned by KAYSUN Inc. or the Company and Shares held by Public Stockholders, if any, who properly exercise their dissenters' statutory appraisal rights under the DGCL) will be converted into and become a right to receive the Merger Price; and - each share of KAYSUN Inc.'s capital stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Company as the surviving corporation of the Merger. As a result of the Merger, KAYSUN Holdings will own all of the outstanding equity interests in the Company. Under the DGCL, because KAYSUN Inc. will hold at least 90% of the outstanding Shares prior to the Merger, KAYSUN Inc. will have the power to effect the Merger without a vote of the Company's Board of Directors or Public Stockholders. KAYSUN Inc. intends to take all necessary and appropriate action to cause the Merger to become effective on the Effective Date, without a meeting or consent of the Company's Board of Directors or Public Stockholders. The Merger Price payable to Public Stockholders is $0.10 in cash per Share. The reasons for the Merger are set out in "Special Factors -- Purposes, Alternatives, Reasons and Effects of the Merger -- Reasons". Certain federal income tax consequences of the Merger are set out in "Special Factors -- Purposes, Alternatives, Reasons and Effects of the Merger -- Effects -- Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger." Upon completion of the Merger, in order to receive the cash Merger Price of $0.10 per Share, each stockholder or a duly authorized representative must (1) deliver a Letter of Transmittal, appropriately completed and executed, to the Shareholder Services Department of the Paying Agent at 1745 Gardena Avenue, Glendale, California 91204, and (2) surrender such Shares by delivering the stock certificate or certificates that, prior to the Merger, had evidenced such Shares to the Paying Agent, as set forth in a Notice of Merger and Appraisal Rights and Letter of Transmittal, which will be mailed to stockholders of record on the Effective Date. Stockholders are encouraged to read the Notice of Merger and Appraisal Rights and Letter of -25- 26 Transmittal carefully when received. Delivery of an executed Letter of Transmittal shall constitute a waiver of statutory appraisal rights. The Merger will be accounted for as the acquisition of a minority interest by KAYSUN Holdings, using the purchase method of accounting. For federal income tax purposes, the receipt of the cash consideration by holders of the Shares pursuant to the Merger will be a taxable sale of the holders' Shares. See "Special Factors -- Purposes, Alternatives, Reasons and Effects of the Merger -- Effects -- Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger." (c) DIFFERENT TERMS. Stockholders of the Company will be treated as described in Item 4(a), "Terms of the Transaction -- Material Terms." (d) APPRAISAL RIGHTS. Under the DGCL, record holders of Shares who follow the procedures set forth in Section 262 will be entitled to have their Shares appraised by the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and to receive payment of the fair value of the Shares, together with a fair rate of interest, if any, as determined by such court. The fair value as determined by the Delaware court is exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the Merger. The following is a summary of certain of the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of Section 262, a copy of which is attached. Notice of the Effective Date and the availability of appraisal rights under Section 262 (the "Merger Notice") will be mailed to record holders of the Shares by the Company, as the surviving corporation in the Merger, within 10 calendar days of the Effective Date and should be reviewed. Any Public Stockholder entitled to appraisal rights will have the right, within 20 days after the date of mailing of the Merger Notice, to demand in writing from the Company an appraisal of his or her Shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the Company of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends to demand an appraisal of the fair value of his or her Shares. Failure to make such a timely demand would foreclose a stockholder's right to appraisal. Only a holder of record of Shares is entitled to assert appraisal rights for the Shares registered in that holder's name. A demand for appraisal should be executed by or on behalf of the holder of record fully and correctly, as the holder's name appears on the stock certificates. Holders of Shares who hold their shares in brokerage accounts or other nominee forms and wish to exercise appraisal rights should consult with their brokers to determine the appropriate procedures for the making of a demand for appraisal by such nominee. All written demands for appraisal of Shares should be sent or delivered to Catherine Ratcliffe, Vice President and General Counsel of the Company, at the Company's offices at 2750 West Moore Avenue, Fullerton, CA 92633-2565. If the Shares are owned of record in a fiduciary capacity, such as by a trustee, guardian or custodian, execution of the demand should be made in that capacity, and if the Shares are owned of record by more than one person, as in a joint tenancy or tenancy in common, the demand should be executed by or on behalf of all joint owners. An authorized agent, including one or -26- 27 more joint owners, may execute a demand for appraisal on behalf of a holder of record; however, the agent must identify the record owner or owners and expressly disclose the fact that, in executing the demand, the agent is agent for such owner or owners. A record holder such as a broker holding Shares as nominee for several beneficial owners may exercise appraisal rights with respect to the Shares held for one or more beneficial owners while not exercising such rights with respect to the Shares held for other beneficial owners; in such case, the written demand should set forth the number of shares as to which appraisal is sought and where no number of shares is expressly mentioned the demand will be presumed to cover all Shares held in the name of the record owner. Within 120 calendar days after the Effective Date, the Company, or any stockholder entitled to appraisal rights under Section 262 and who has complied with the foregoing procedures, may file a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the fair value of the Shares of all such stockholders. The Company is not under any obligation, and has no present intention, to file a petition with respect to the appraisal of the fair value of the Shares. Accordingly, it is the obligation of the stockholders to initiate all necessary action to perfect their appraisal rights within the time prescribed in Section 262. If a stockholder files a petition, a copy of such petition must be served on the Company. Within 120 calendar days after the Effective Date, any stockholder of record who has complied with the requirements for exercise of appraisal rights and, if appraisal rights are available, will be entitled, upon written request, to receive from the Company a statement setting forth the aggregate number of Shares with respect to which demands for appraisal have been received and the aggregate number of holders of such Shares. Such statement must be mailed within 10 calendar days after a written request therefor has been received by the Company or within 10 calendar days after the expiration of the period for the delivery of demands for appraisal, whichever is later. If a petition for an appraisal is timely filed and a copy is served upon the Company, the Company will then be obligated within 20 days to file with the Delaware Register in Chancery a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all stockholders who have demanded an appraisal of their Shares and with whom agreements as to the value of such Shares have not been reached. After notice to those stockholders as required by the Court, the Delaware Court of Chancery is empowered to conduct a hearing on the petition to determine those stockholders who have complied with Section 262 and who have become entitled to appraisal rights. After a hearing on such petition, the Delaware Court of Chancery will determine the stockholders entitled to appraisal rights and will appraise the fair value of the Shares, exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the Merger, together with a fair rate of interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value. Holders considering seeking appraisal should be aware that the fair value of their Shares as determined under Section 262 could be more than, the same as or less than the amount per Share that they would otherwise receive if they did not seek appraisal of their Shares. The Delaware Supreme Court has stated that "proof of value by any techniques or methods that are generally considered acceptable in the financial community and otherwise admissible in court" should be considered in the appraisal proceedings. In addition, Delaware courts have decided that the statutory appraisal remedy, depending on factual circumstances, may or may not be a dissenter's exclusive -27- 28 remedy. The Court will also determine the amount of interest, if any, to be paid upon the amounts to be received by persons whose Shares have been appraised. The costs of the action may be determined by the Court and taxed upon the parties as the Court deems equitable. The Court may also order that all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any holder of Shares in connection with an appraisal, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and the fees and expenses of experts used in the appraisal proceeding, be charged pro rata against the value of all the Shares entitled to appraisal. The Court may require stockholders who have demanded an appraisal and who hold Shares represented by certificates to submit their certificates to the Court for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings. If any stockholder fails to comply with such direction, the Court may dismiss the proceedings as to such stockholder. Any stockholder who has duly demanded an appraisal in compliance with Section 262 will not, after the Effective Date, be entitled to vote the Shares subject to such demand for any purpose or be entitled to the payment of dividends or other distributions on those shares (except dividends or other distributions payable to holders of record of Shares as of a date prior to the Effective Date). If any stockholder who demands appraisal of Shares under Section 262 fails to perfect, or effectively withdraws or loses, the right to appraisal, as provided in the DGCL, the Shares of such holder will be converted into the right to receive the Merger Price per Share, without interest. A stockholder will fail to perfect, or effectively lose, the right to appraisal if no petition is filed within 120 calendar days after the Effective Date. A stockholder may withdraw a demand for appraisal by delivering to the Company a written withdrawal of the demand for appraisal and acceptance of the Merger Price, except that any such attempt to withdraw made more than 60 calendar days after the Effective Date will require the written approval of the Company. Once a petition for appraisal has been filed, such appraisal proceeding may not be dismissed as to any stockholder without the approval of the Court. For federal income tax purposes, stockholders who receive cash for their Shares upon exercise of their statutory right of dissent will realize taxable gain or loss. See "Special Factors -- Purposes, Alternatives, Reasons and Effects of the Merger -- Effects -- Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger." The foregoing summary does not purport to be a complete statement of the procedures to be followed by stockholders desiring to exercise their appraisal rights and is qualified in its entirety by express reference to the Delaware Appraisal Statute, the full text of which is attached hereto as Exhibit (f). STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ EXHIBIT (F) IN ITS ENTIRETY SINCE FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE PROCEDURES SET FORTH THEREIN WILL RESULT IN THE LOSS OF APPRAISAL RIGHTS.

The Company, Day Runner UK plc (now known as Day Runner UK Limited), a company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of England and Wales and formerly a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the Company, Filofax Limited, a company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of England and Wales and formerly a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the Company, and certain financial institutions identified on the signature pages thereto (the "Lenders"), and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association ("Wells Fargo") as Administrative Agent entered into that certain Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2000, which became effective on December 8, 2000, as amended by that certain First Waiver and Amendment to Loan Agreement dated as of January 21, 2001 (the -29- 30 "First Waiver and Amendment"), and that certain Debt Affirmation and Release Agreement dated as of April 25, 2001 (the "Debt Affirmation Agreement," together with the First Waiver and Amendment and the Second Restatement, the "Loan Agreement"), with respect to certain loans made to the Company, Day Runner UK plc and Filofax Limited under the Loan Agreement. On April 25, 2001, the Company sold its Filofax operations (including Day Runner UK plc and Filofax Limited) for $30,000,000 in debt reduction to entities affiliated with the Lenders. As a result of these transactions and the Debt Affirmation Agreement, the Company was released from all obligations with respect to the Foreign Currency Loans (as defined in the Loan Agreement) in the amount of Pound Sterling12,420,210 (US$17,636,699) and the balance of Term Loan B debt was reduced by US$12,363,301. On May 10, 2001, Osmond Acquisition acquired that portion of the Debt owned by Mellon Bank, N.A., pursuant to an Assignment Agreement, dated as of May 10, 2001 between Osmond Acquisition and Mellon Bank, N.A. On May 11, 2001, Osmond Acquisition acquired that portion of the Debt owned by Credit Agricole Indosuez, pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, dated as of May 4, 2001, between Osmond Acquisition and Credit Agricole Indosuez. On May 23, 2001, Osmond Acquisition acquired that portion of the Debt owned by National Westminster Bank plc, pursuant to an Assignment Agreement, dated as of May 23, 2001, between Osmond Acquisition and National Westminster Bank plc. On May 30, 2001, Osmond Acquisition acquired that portion of the Debt owned by Bank of Scotland, pursuant to an Assignment Agreement, dated as of May 30, 2001, between Osmond Acquisition and Bank of Scotland. As a result of the Debt Affirmation Agreement, and subsequent releases dated May 22, 2001 and May 24, 2001, Day Runner UK plc, Filofax Limited and certain related entities were released from all obligations under the Loan Agreement except with respect to the Foreign Currency Loan. On August 7, 2000, certain entities that are now members of Day Holdings, acquired a participation interest in a portion of the Debt held by Oaktree Capital Management, LLC, pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement (Secondary Assignment; Borrower Not in Bankruptcy), dated as of August 7, 2000, between Oaktree Capital Management, LLC and KACALP. This participation interest was later elevated to a direct ownership interest in such portion of the Debt and then contributed to Day Holdings by the holders in exchange for membership interests in Day Holdings. On May 24, 2001, Day Holdings acquired that portion of the Debt owned by Wells Fargo, pursuant to an Assignment Agreement, dated as of May 24, 2001, between Day Holdings and Wells Fargo. On June 1, 2001, Day Holdings acquired that portion of the Debt owned by Oaktree Capital Management, LLC, pursuant to an Assignment Agreement, dated as of May 31, 2001, between Day Holdings and Oaktree Capital Management, LLC. As a result of the foregoing transactions, all rights and interests of the Lenders under the Loan Agreement, except with respect to the Foreign Currency Loans, were assigned to Osmond Acquisition and Day Holdings. -30- 31 On May 29, 2001, KACALP and Sunrise entered into an Investment Agreement (the "Investment Agreement"), pursuant to which they agreed, through Osmond Acquisition and Day Holdings, to acquire all of the outstanding Debt owned by the Lenders and that each would own an equal share of the Debt. Subsequently, pursuant to Assignment and Acceptances dated as of June 27, 2001, Osmond Acquisition and Day Holdings, respectively, assigned portions of the Debt to each other with the result that each owned half of the Debt. Under the Investment Agreement, KACALP and Sunrise agreed to cause the Debt to be contributed by Day Holdings and Osmond Acquisition, respectively, to KAYSUN Holdings, which was formed for the purposes of holding the Debt and serving as the vehicle with respect to any further transactions involving the Company. Pursuant to Assignment and Acceptances dated as of August 8, 2001, Osmond Acquisition and Day Holdings, respectively, assigned all of the Debt to KAYSUN Holdings. KACALP and Sunrise intend, upon completion of the Merger, that KAYSUN Holdings shall, if and to the extent possible, cause the board of directors of the Company to be constituted in such a manner as to afford Day Holdings and Osmond Acquisition equal representation thereon. Under the Loan Agreement, a portion of the term loans previously outstanding under a prior agreement, in the total amount of $27,163,875.13, was reclassified as loans convertible into Shares (defined elsewhere herein as the "Convertible Debt"), which Convertible Debt was evidenced by notes in favor of each of the Lenders (the "Convertible Notes"), maturing on July 31, 2002 (the "Maturity Date"), which Convertible Notes were assigned to Osmond Acquisition and Day Holdings as part of the Debt acquired by them from the Lenders, and subsequently assigned to KAYSUN Holdings. The Loan Agreement permits the Company to make payments of interest accrued on the Convertible Loans through the Maturity Date in the form of payment-in-kind ("PIK") notes (the "PIK Interest Notes (CL)"). On August 8, 2001, as part of the assignment of the Debt to KAYSUN Holdings, Osmond Acquisition and Day Holdings transferred the Convertible Notes and the PIK Interest Notes (CL) to KAYSUN Holdings. KAYSUN Holdings now has the right to convert some or all of the principal amount under the Convertible Notes and/or PIK Interest Notes (CL) into a number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock obtained by dividing the aggregate amount of the Convertible Notes and PIK Interest Notes (CL) to be converted by $1.15, not to exceed a maximum of 23,200,000 total Shares converted (the "Conversion Stock"). In connection with the assignment of the Debt to KAYSUN Holdings, Osmond Acquisition and Day Holdings transferred, and KAYSUN Holdings assumed, the right and obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement and the Shareholders Agreement as those terms are defined below. The Loan Agreement prohibits the Company from issuing additional Shares beyond the 3,122,154 Shares already issued and outstanding or reserved for issuance pursuant to certain options and rights previously granted or authorized, or any shares of preferred stock or any other equity interest without the written consent of KAYSUN Holdings. The Loan Agreement does permit the issuance of up to 2,677,846 options to directors, officers and employees of the Company subject to certain limitations set forth in the Loan Agreement, which limitations cannot be waived or modified without the written consent of KAYSUN Holdings. The Loan Agreement also prohibits the Company from authorizing, permitting, or carrying out any stock split, reverse stock split, reclassification, recapitalization, payment of stock dividends or any other transaction which either dilutes or increases the number of Shares or the share of the Company's capital structure represented by one share of Common Stock. -31- 32 In connection with the Loan Agreement, the Company and the Lenders entered into that certain Registration Rights Agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement") dated as of November 1, 2000 which became effective on December 8, 2000. Also in connection with the Loan Agreement, the Lenders entered into that certain Shareholders Agreement (the "Shareholders Agreement"), dated as of November 1, 2000, which became effective on December 8, 2000. In connection with the assignment of the Debt by Osmond Acquisition and Day Holdings to KAYSUN Holdings, all rights and interests of the Lenders under the Registration Rights Agreement and the Shareholders Agreement were assigned by Osmond Acquisition and Day Holdings to KAYSUN Holdings. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, KAYSUN Holdings has the right to demand that the Company effect three registrations of the Conversion Stock. In addition, KAYSUN Holdings also has the right to participate in any registrations by the Company of Shares not otherwise consisting of Conversion Stock. In addition to the anti-dilution provisions contained in the Loan Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement also prohibits the Company from issuing any securities, preferred or common stock, debt convertible into common stock, options, warrants, rights (including conversion or preemptive rights or enter into any agreements for the purchase or acquisition from the Company of any shares of its capital stock) to any person or entity except as permitted by the Loan Agreement. The Company is also prohibited from permitting the increase in the number of its authorized shares of Common Stock beyond the 29,000,000 Shares already authorized, except as permitted by the Loan Agreement. The anti-dilution provisions contained in the Registration Rights Agreement may be waived or modified only by express written consent of KAYSUN Holdings. Under the Shareholders Agreement, KAYSUN Holdings is obligated to cast its votes held by virtue of its ownership interests in Conversion Stock as a unit for the election of persons as directors of the Company. KAYSUN Holdings also is obligated to cast its votes held by virtue of its ownership interests in Conversion Stock as a unit with respect to any other matters which, by law or the Company's certificate of incorporation or bylaws, require the action of the Company's shareholders, or any other matters which may be submitted for a vote to the shareholders of the Company. The Shareholders Agreement prohibits KAYSUN Holdings from selling, transferring, assigning or otherwise disposing of, or encumbering mortgaging, pledging or creating a security interest in, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, any shares of Conversion Stock, except as permitted by the Loan Agreement. Notwithstanding those restrictions, the Shareholders Agreement does permit KAYSUN Holdings to transfer Conversion Stock to: any wholly-owned corporation or affiliate of KAYSUN Holdings, an investment partnership, provided that each partner is subject to the prior approval of each of Osmond Acquisition and Day Holdings and that KAYSUN Holdings establishes and maintains effective control over the affairs of the investment partnership, and to any other transferee which Osmond Acquisition and Day Holdings may agree to in writing. References to and description of the Loan Agreement, the Investment Agreement, the Shareholders Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement as set forth herein are qualified in their entirety by the full text of such agreements, which are filed as exhibits to Osmond Acquisition and Day Holdings and their affiliated persons' report on Schedule 13D relating to -32- 33 the Company filed on June 4, 2001, and which are incorporated herein in their entirety where such references and descriptions appear.

On the Effective Date, immediately prior to the Merger, KAYSUN Inc. is expected to be the owner of 23,200,000 Shares, representing 90.6% of the outstanding Shares. Because KAYSUN Holdings owns 100% of the equity interest in KAYSUN Inc., and because each of Osmond Acquisition and Day Holdings has a 50% equity -34- 35 interest in KAYSUN Holdings, each may also be deemed to be the beneficial owners of these Shares. Details regarding the ownership of Shares by the persons named on Schedule I to this Schedule 13E-3 are set out thereon. (b) SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS. After converting the Convertible Debt into Shares, KAYSUN Holdings will contribute such Shares to KAYSUN Inc. prior to the Effective Date. The Convertible Debt was acquired in May and June 2001.
