On April 17, 2005, the Board of Directors of Cenveo, Inc. (the "Company"), a Colorado corporation, declared a dividend (the "Dividend") of one preferred share purchase right (a "Right") for each outstanding share of common stock, par value $.01 per share. The dividend is payable on April 28, 2005 to holders of record on that date. The specific terms of the Rights will be contained in a Preferred Share Purchase Rights Agreement (the "Rights Agreement") expected to be entered into between the Company and Computershare Trust Company, Inc., as Rights Agent. The Dividend is subject to execution of the Rights Agreement by the Company and the Rights Agent, which the Board of Directors has authorized. The Board of Directors has authorized the adoption of a Rights Agreement to protect shareholders from coercive or otherwise unfair takeover tactics. In general terms, the Rights impose a significant penalty upon any person or group which acquires beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the Company's outstanding common stock without the prior approval of the Board of Directors. The Rights Agreement will provide an exemption for any person who is, as of April 18, 2005, the beneficial owner of 15% or more of the Company's outstanding common stock, so long as such Person does not, subject to certain exceptions, acquire additional common stock of the Company after April 18, 2005. The Company, its Subsidiaries, employee benefit plans of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and any entity holding common stock for or pursuant to the terms of any such plan will also be excepted. The Rights Agreement will not interfere with any merger or other business combination approved by the Board of Directors. Following is a summary of the terms of the Rights Agreement. When executed, the full text of the Rights Agreement will be filed with the SEC and will be available on the Company's web-site and free of charge from the Company. THE RIGHTS. The Rights will initially trade with, and will be inseparable from, the common stock. The Rights will be evidenced only by certificates that represent shares of common stock, and not be separate certificates. New Rights will accompany any new shares of common stock we issue after April 28, 2005 until the earlier of the Distribution Date described below or the redemption or the expiration of the Rights. EXERCISE PRICE. Each Right will allow its holder to purchase from our Company one one-ten-thousandth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock (a "Preferred Share") for $25, once the Rights become exercisable. Each one-ten-thousandth of a Preferred Share will give the shareholder approximately the same dividend and liquidation rights as would one share of common stock. Prior to exercise, the Right does not give its holder any dividend, voting, or liquidation rights. EXERCISABILITY. The Rights will not be exercisable until: o 10 days after the public announcement that a person or group has become an "Acquiring Person" by obtaining beneficial ownership of 15% or more of our outstanding common stock, or, if earlier, -2- o 10 business days (or a later date determined by the Board of Directors before any person or group becomes an Acquiring Person) after a person or group begins a tender or exchange offer which, if consummated, would result in that person or group becoming an Acquiring Person. We refer to the date when the Rights become exercisable as the "Distribution Date." Until that date, the common stock certificates will also evidence the Rights, and any transfer of shares of common stock will constitute a transfer of Rights. After that date, the Rights will separate from the common stock and be evidenced by book-entry credits or by Rights certificates that we will mail to all eligible holders of common stock. Any Rights held by an Acquiring Person are void and may not be exercised. The Board of Directors may reduce the threshold at which a person or group becomes an Acquiring Person from 15% to not less than 10% of the outstanding common stock. CONSEQUENCES OF A PERSON OR GROUP BECOMING AN ACQUIRING PERSON. o FLIP IN. If a person or group becomes an Acquiring Person, all holders of Rights except the Acquiring Person may, for $25, purchase shares of our common stock with a market value of $50, based on the market price of the common stock prior to such acquisition. o FLIP OVER. If our Company is later acquired in a merger or similar transaction after the Rights Distribution Date, all holders of Rights except the Acquiring Person may, for $25, purchase shares of the acquiring corporation with a market value of $50, based on the market price of the acquiring corporation's stock prior to such merger. PREFERRED SHARE PROVISIONS. Each one one-ten-thousandth of a Preferred Share, if issued: o will not be redeemable. o will entitle holders to quarterly dividend payments of $.0001 per each one one-ten-thousandth of a Preferred Share, or an amount equal to the dividend paid on one share of common stock, whichever is greater. o will entitle holders upon liquidation either to receive $1.00 per share or an amount equal to the payment made on one share of common stock, whichever is greater. o will have the same voting power as one share of common stock. o if shares of our common stock are exchanged via merger, consolidation, or a similar transaction, will entitle holders to a per share payment equal to the payment made on one share of common stock. The value of one one-ten-thousandth interest in a Preferred Share should approximate the value of one share of common stock. -3- EXPIRATION. The Rights will expire on April 28, 2015. REDEMPTION. The Board of Directors shall have the right to redeem the Rights for $.01 per Right at any time before any person or group becomes an Acquiring Person. If the Board redeems any Rights, it must redeem all of the Rights. Once the Rights are redeemed, the only right of the holders of Rights will be to receive the redemption price of $.01 per Right. The redemption price will be adjusted if we have a stock split or stock dividends of our common stock. EXCHANGE. After a person or group becomes an Acquiring Person, but before an Acquiring Person owns 50% or more of our outstanding common stock, the Board shall have the right to extinguish the Rights by exchanging one share of common stock or an equivalent security for each Right, other than Rights held by the Acquiring Person. ANTI-DILUTION PROVISIONS. The Board shall have the right to adjust the purchase price of the Preferred Shares, the number of Preferred Shares issuable and the number of outstanding Rights to prevent dilution that may occur from a stock dividend, a stock split, a reclassification of the Preferred Shares or common stock. No adjustments to the Exercise Price of less than 1% will be made. AMENDMENTS. The Board shall have the right to amend the terms of the Rights Agreement without the consent of the holders of the Rights. However, the Board shall not have the right to amend the Rights Agreement to lower the threshold at which a person or group becomes an Acquiring Person to below 10% of our outstanding common stock. In addition, the Board shall not have the right to cause a person or group to become an Acquiring Person by lowering this threshold below the percentage interest that such person or group already owns. After a person or group becomes an Acquiring Person, the Board shall not have the right to amend the agreement in a way that adversely affects holders of the Rights. ITEM 5.03 AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OR BYLAWS; CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR. On April 17, 2005, the Board of Directors approved certain amendments to the Company's bylaws, effective as of that date. Section 2.2 of the bylaws was amended and Section 2.10 of the bylaws was deleted in its entirety and replaced by new Sections 2.10, 2,11 and 2.12. The amendments to the Company's bylaws clarify the process for calling a special meeting, should the requisite shareholders so request, and for setting the date, time and place of special meetings of shareholders, and the requirements for submission of matters to be considered at any such special meeting. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the amended and restated bylaws of the Company, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2 and incorporated herein by reference. ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS. On April 18, 2005, the Company issued a press release announcing the Company's intention to evaluate strategic alternatives, the authorization of the adoption of the Rights Agreement, the amendments of the Company's Bylaws, the adoption of broad-based severance plans for certain employees and certain other matters.

Section 2.4. Quorum.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the holders of a majority of the shares of stock of the corporation entitled to vote at any meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, whether or not a quorum is present, shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting originally called; provided, however, that if the adjournment is for more than thirty days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting.

The Board of Directors shall not close the books of the corporation against transfer of shares during the whole or any part of such period. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting. Section 2.10. Inspectors of Stockholders' Request for Special Meeting. In the event of the delivery, in the manner provided by Sections 2.2 and 2.12 of Article II, to the corporation of the requisite request for a special meeting of stockholders, the corporation shall engage nationally recognized independent inspectors of elections for the purpose of promptly performing a ministerial review of the validity of the request. For the purpose of permitting the inspectors to perform such review, no request for a special meeting of stockholders shall be effective until such date as the independent inspectors certify to the corporation that the request delivered to the corporation in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.12 of Article II represents at least the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to cause the corporation to call a special meeting. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall in any way be construed to suggest or imply that the Board of Directors or any stockholder shall not be entitled to contest the validity of any such request, whether before or after such certification by the independent inspectors, or to take any other action (including, without limitation, the commencement, prosecution or defense of any litigation with respect thereto, and the seeking of injunctive relief in such litigation). 3 Section 2.11. Effectiveness of Stockholders' Request for Special Meeting. Every stockholder request for a special meeting shall bear the date of signature of each stockholder whosigns the request, and no such request shall be effective to cause the corporation to call a special meeting unless, within 60 days of the earliest dated request received in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.12 of Article II, requests signed by a sufficient number of stockholders to cause the corporation to call a special meeting of stockholders are delivered to the corporation in the manner prescribed in Sections 2.2 and 2.12 of Article II. Each such request shall be valid and effective only if each stockholder submitting such request was a record holder of the shares covered by such stockholder's request both as of the date such submitting stockholder signed the request and as of the date requests signed by a sufficient number of holders to cause the corporation to call a special meeting of stockholders are delivered to the corporation in the manner prescribed in Sections 2.2 and 2.12 of Article II. Section 2.12. Business to be Brought Before Any Meeting of Stockholders. To be properly brought before any meeting of stockholders, business must be either (a) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, (b) otherwise brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or (c) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder of the corporation who is a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in Section 2.2 and this Section 2.12 of Article II, who shall be entitled to vote at such meeting and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in Section 2.2 and this Section 2.12 of Article II. In addition to any other applicable requirements, for business to be brought before any meeting of stockholders by a stockholder of the corporation, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the corporation. To be timely, a stockholder's notice related to the business to be conducted at any annual meeting must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the corporation not less than 90 days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders of the corporation in the case of each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders. To be timely, a stockholder's notice related to the business to be conducted at any special meeting must be submitted to the corporation with the request for a special meeting of stockholders. A public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting shall not commence a new time period for the giving of stockholder notices. A stockholder's notice to the Secretary shall set forth as to each matter the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting, (ii) the name and address, as they appear on the corporation's books, of the stockholder proposing such business, (iii) the acquisition date, the class and the number of shares of voting stock of the corporation which are owned beneficially by the stockholder, (iv) any material interest of the stockholder in such business, and (v) a representation that the stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to bring the proposed business before the meeting. Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at the meeting except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.12 of Article II. 4 The chairman of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that business was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.12 of Article II, and if the chairman should so determine, the chairman shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12 of Article II, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 2.12 of Article II. ARTICLE III BOARD OF DIRECTORS Section 3.1. Number; Qualifications. The number of directors shall be as fixed in such a manner as may be determined by the vote of not less than a majority of the directors then in office, but shall not be less than one. The directors shall be elected at the annual meeting of the stockholders, except as provided in Section 3.2, and each director elected shall hold office until his successor is elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation or removal. A director need not be a stockholder of the corporation. A majority of the directors may elect from its members a chairman, who shall also serve as chairman of any annual or special meeting of the stockholders. The chairman, if any, shall hold this office until his successor shall have been elected and qualified. Section 3.2. Vacancies. Any vacancy in the Board of Directors, including vacancies resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors may be filled by a majority of the remaining directors then in office, though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, and the directors so chosen shall hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and their successors are duly elected and qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal. Section 3.3. Powers. The business affairs and property of the corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors which may exercise all such powers of the corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by statute or by the Articles of Incorporation or by these Bylaws directed or required to be exercised or done by the stockholders. Section 3.4. Resignations. Any director may resign at any time by written notice to the corporation. Any such resignation shall take effect at the date of receipt of such notice or at any later time specified therein, and, unless otherwise specified therein, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective. Section 3.5. Regular Meetings. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held at such place or places within or without the State of Colorado, at such hour and on such day as may be fixed by resolution of the Board of Directors, without further notice of such meetings. Section 3.6. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be held whenever called by (i) the Chairman of the Board; (ii) the President; (iii) the President or 5 Secretary on the written request of a majority of the Board of Directors; or (iv) resolution adopted by the Board of Directors. Special meetings may be held within or without the State of Colorado as may be stated in the notice of the meeting. Section 3.7. Notice of Meetings. Written notice of the time, place and general nature of the business to be transacted at all special meetings of the Board of Directors must be given to each director at least one day prior to the day of the meeting; provided, however, that notice of any meeting need not be given to any director if waived by him in writing, or if he shall be present at such meeting, except when the director attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business on the grounds that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Section 3.8. Quorum; Vote Required for Action. At all meetings of the Board of Directors, a majority of directors then in office shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business and, except as otherwise provided by law or these Bylaws, the act of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act of the Board of Directors; but a lesser number may adjourn the meeting from day to day, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present. Directors may participate in any meeting of the directors, and members of any committee of directors may participate in any meeting of such committee, by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in such meeting can hear each other, and such participation shall constitute presence in person at such meeting. Section 3.9. Action by Consent of Directors. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or of any committee of the Board of Directors may be taken without a meeting, if all members of the board or the committee of the board, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing, which may be in counterparts, and the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors or the committee thereof. Such writing(s) shall be manually executed if practicable, but if circumstances so require, effect shall be given to written consent transmitted by telegraph, telex, telecopy or similar means of visual data transmission. Section 3.10. Telephonic Meetings Permitted. Members of the Board of Directors, or any committee designated by the board, may participate in a meeting of such board or committee by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in a meeting pursuant to this Bylaw shall constitute presence in person at such meeting. Section 3.11. Compensation. Directors shall be entitled to such compensation for their services as may be approved by the Board of Directors, including, if so approved by resolution of the Board of Directors, a fixed sum and expenses of attendance at each regular or special meeting or any committee thereof.

(NYSE: CVO) today announced that it has retained Rothschild Inc. to assist the Board in a thorough evaluation of its strategic alternatives. The law firms of Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz and Hogan & Hartson, L.L.P. have also been retained to advise in connection with the review of strategic alternatives. The Board said today that while it will review all options in consultation with its advisors, there can be no assurance of any particular outcome. Susan Rheney, Chairman of Cenveo, said: "The Board has taken this action after much careful deliberation. While the Board works with its outside advisors, the Cenveo management team will continue to focus on meeting the needs of our customers and business partners, implementing steps aimed at improving our strategic, operating and financial performance and, in turn, achieving our number-one goal: building value for all shareholders." The Company said previously that it continues its process to appoint a new chief executive officer to replace current CEO Paul Reilly who announced his resignation in January. The Company had previously stated that the roles of the new chief executive and chairman will be separate to reflect good corporate governance. Cenveo's Board of Directors has also authorized the adoption of a Shareholder Rights Plan and declared a dividend distribution of one Preferred Share Purchase Right on each outstanding share of Cenveo common stock. The Rights Plan is intended to enable Cenveo and its Board of Directors to ensure that the evaluation of alternatives being undertaken by the Board is carried out without the threat of an immediate acquisition of a controlling or dominating interest in the Company by a person or group on terms not available to all shareholders or where a better alternative may be available, to guard against coercive tactics by shareholders seeking to acquire control of Cenveo, and to ensure that all Cenveo shareholders are able to realize the long-term value of their investment in the Company. The adoption of the Rights Plan will not and is not intended to prevent a change of control of the Company. A description of the Rights Plan is included in the Company's SEC filings on the Company's Web site at http://www.cenveo.com.

The Board of Directors also adopted broad-based severance plans for certain employees which provide for severance benefits commensurate with past practice, and approved entering into change of control severance agreements with certain recently hired or promoted officers who have not yet received the agreements provided to other officers of the Company. * * * ABOUT CENVEO, INC.
