Explanation of Responses: This Initial Statement of Beneficial Ownership is filed by Confetti Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Confetti"), GS Capital Partners II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("GSCP II"), GS Capital Partners II Offshore, L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership ("GSCP II Offshore"), GS Capital Partners II (Germany) C.L.P., a German civil law partnership ("GSCP II Germany" and, together with GSCP II and GSCP II Offshore, "GSCP"), GS Advisors, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("GS Advisors"), GS Advisors II (Cayman), L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership ("GS Advisors Cayman"), Goldman, Sachs & Co. oHG, a German general partnership ("GS oHG"), Goldman, Sachs & Co., a New York limited partnership ("Goldman Sachs"), and The Goldman Sachs Group, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("GS Group" and, together with Confetti, GSCP, GS Advisors, GS Advisory Cayman, GS oHG and Goldman Sachs, the "Reporting Persons"). All of the common stock of Confetti is owned by GSCP and GS Group. GS Advisors is the sole general partner of GSCP II, GS Advisors Cayman is the sole general partner of GSCP II Offshore, and GS oHG is the sole managing partner of GSCP II Germany. Each of GS Advisors, GS Advisors Cayman and GS oHG is an affiliate of Goldman Sachs and GS Group. Goldman Sachs serves as the investment manager of GSCP. GS Group, one of the general partners of Goldman Sachs, owns a 99% interest in Goldman Sachs. In connection with an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated as of August 10, 1997, between Amscan Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Amscan") and Confetti, Confetti has entered into a Voting Agreement (the "Voting Agreement"), dated as of August 10, 1997, with the Estate of John A. Svenningsen (the "Estate") and Christine Svenningsen (the "Individual"), wife of John A. Svenningsen and executrix of the Estate, who together are the beneficial owners of 15,024,616 shares of Common Stock of Amscan (the "Subject Shares"). Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, the Estate and the Individual have, among other things, granted Confetti an irrevocable option (the "Option") to acquire the Subject Shares, in whole and not in part, at a price of $9.83 per share in cash (the "Share Exercise Price"), subject to certain conditions set forth the Voting Agreement, exercisable during the 90-day period following a termination of the Merger Agreement, other than pursuant to a termination upon mutual consent of Amscan and Confetti or pursuant to a termination by Amscan based on an actual material breach by Confetti of its obligations under the Merger Agreement. The covenants and agreements contained in the Voting Agreement with respect to the Subject Shares will terminate upon the earliest of (x) the effective time of the merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (y) the termination of the Merger Agreement based upon mutual consent of Amscan and Confetti or the termination by Amscan based on an actual material breach by Confetti of its obligations under the Merger Agreement, or (z) the 91st day following another termination of the Merger Agreement pursuant to its terms (after which termination the Option becomes exercisable), subject to certain extensions if the Option has been exercised but the closing of such exercise has not occurred. Prior to the Option becoming exercisable and being exercised, the Reporting Persons expressly disclaim beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock of Amscan which are purchasable by Confetti upon the Option becoming exercisable and being exercised. Neither the filing of this Initial Statement of Beneficial Ownership nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of the Common Stock subject to the Option for purposes of Section 13(d) or 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purpose, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed. **Intentional misstatements or (see attached sheet) August 20, 1997 omissions of facts constitute --------------------- ---------------- ----- Federal Criminal Violations. **Signature of Date: See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and Reporting Person 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
