Subject to the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer, Trans-Lux reported on April 15, 2004 it would issue $16,710,000 principal amount of New Notes in exchange for $16,710,000 principal amount of the Old Notes which were properly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Exchange Offer on April 14, 2004. Due to a miscommunication with the Depository Trust Company on the amount of Old Notes withdrawn, the amount of $1,158,000 was subtracted twice. Accordingly, the actual amount of New Notes issued is $17,868,000. This amendment to jointly filed Schedule TO and Schedule 13E-3 is intended to satisfy the requirements of Rules 13e-3 and 13e-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. This Schedule TO is combined with Schedule 13E-3 since the transaction might be deemed a "going private" transaction. Where items under Schedule 13E-3 are not part of Schedule TO, they are listed at the end of this Schedule. Where the same item is covered by both schedules, the Schedule 13E-3 reference is below the Schedule TO reference. Items 1-6 are numbered the same in both schedules. This amendment amends Items 1, 4, 6 and 12 of Schedule TO and Items 1, 4, 6 and 16 of Schedule 13E-3. ITEM 12. EXHIBITS. (Item 16 Schedule 13E-3) Exhibit (a)(5)(G) Press release dated May 4, 2004 filed herewith. SIGNATURE After due inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
