     Item 5. Other Events and Required FD Disclosure.

     On June 17,  2003,  Jostens,  Inc.  ("Jostens")  entered  into a definitive
Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger  Agreement") by and among Ring Holding
Corp.  ("Parent"),  Ring Acquisition  Corp. and Jostens,  pursuant to which Ring
Acquisition  Corp.,  a newly formed company  controlled by DLJ Merchant  Banking
Partners III, L.P. and certain of its affiliated funds, each of which is managed
by CSFB Private  Equity,  will be merged with and into  Jostens (the  "Merger"),
with  Jostens  as the  surviving  corporation.  Under  the  terms of the  Merger
Agreement, which was approved by the unanimous consent of the Board of Directors
of  Jostens,  holders  of each  class of  Jostens'  common  stock  will  receive
approximately  $48 per share in cash, which amount may be increased or decreased
under  certain  conditions  set  forth  in the  Merger  Agreement  (the  "Merger
Consideration").  If the Merger does not occur on or prior to July 31, 2003, the
aggregate Merger Consideration  payable under the Merger Agreement will increase
by $163,934 per day from and after August 1, 2003 until the closing date, but in
no event shall the  aggregate  amount of any such increase  exceed  $10,000,000.
Each outstanding stock option or warrant that is exercisable for common stock of
the  Company  will  also be  converted  into the  right to  receive  the  Merger
Consideration less the per share exercise price of such stock option or warrant,
as applicable.

     Jostens  has been  advised  by  Parent  that it  currently  intends  (1) to
refinance  Jostens'  credit  facility  under that  certain  Second  Amended  and
Restated  Credit  Agreement,  dated as of  December  13,  2002,  among  Jostens,
JPMorgan Chase Bank,  J.P.  Morgan  Securities  Inc. and the other parties named
therein,  in  connection  with the Merger and (2) to  undertake,  following  the
consummation of the Merger,  a change of control offer to redeem (A) Jostens' 12
3/4% Senior  Subordinated Notes due 2010 at 101% of the principal amount thereof
plus any  accrued  but  unpaid  interest  in  accordance  with the terms of that
certain Indenture, dated as of May 10, 2000, between Jostens and The Bank of New
York and (B) Jostens' 14% Senior Redeemable  Payment-in-Kind  Preferred Stock at
101% of the liquidation preference thereof plus any accrued but unpaid dividends
in accordance  with the terms of the  Certificate  of Designation of the Powers,
Preferences and Rights of the 14% Senior  Redeemable  Payment-in-Kind  Preferred
Stock, and Qualifications,  Limitations and Restrictions thereof dated as of May
10, 2000.

     In connection with the proposed Merger,  dissenters'  rights, in accordance
with Section 302A.471 of the Minnesota Business  Corporation Act ("MBCA"),  will
be  available to those  common  shareholders  of the Company who comply with the
requirements of Section 302A.473 of the MBCA.

     The  information  set forth above does not  purport to be  complete  and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement,
a copy of which is annexed hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is  incorporated  herein by
