Stone Asset is the sole general partner of Stone Street and the managing general partner of Bridge Street. Stone Asset is an affiliate of Goldman, Sachs & Co., a New York limited partnership ("Goldman Sachs"), and The Goldman Sachs Group, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("GS Group"). GS Group, the general partner of Goldman Sachs, owns a 99% interest in Goldman Sachs. The principal address of each Bridge Street, Stone Street and Stone Asset is 85 Broad Street, New York, NY. (01) Explanation of Responses: On August 10, 1997, Amscan Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Amscan"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated as of August 10, 1997, between Amscan and Confetti Acquisition, Inc. ("Confetti"), a newly organized Delaware corporation owned by GS Capital Partners II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, GS Capital Partners II Offshore, L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership, GS Capital Partners II (Germany) Civil Law Partnership (with limitation of liability), a German civil law partnership, and GS Group, and pursuant to which, among other things, Confetti was to be merged with and into Amscan, with Amscan continuing as the surviving corporation (the "Merger"). In connection with Merger Agreement, Confetti 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 were 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, 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 in the Voting Agreement. (02) On December 19, 1997, prior to the consummation of the Merger Agreement, Bridge Street and Stone Street acquired 26.9651250 shares (approximately 3.0%) and 55.5348750 shares (approximately 6.2%), respectively, of the common stock of Confetti. The Merger was consummated on December 19, 1997 and, in connection therewith, the shares of Confetti held by Bridge Street and Stone Street, respectively, were converted, at the effective time of the merger, into an equal number of shares of Amscan's common stock (as the surviving corporation in the Merger). The Voting Agreement, including the Option, terminated according to its terms upon the consummation of the Merger at the effective time thereof. 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 Sections 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.
