* For purposes of calculating the filing fee pursuant to Rule 0-11(d), the
Transaction Valuation was calculated on the basis of (i) 84,768,152
outstanding shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of Lanier
Worldwide, Inc. (the "Shares"), (ii) the tender offer price of $3.00 per
Share and (iii) 2,245,984 options to acquire Shares with an exercise price
at less than $3.00 under Lanier Worldwide, Inc.'s Stock Incentive Plan with
an aggregate value of $1,861,792. Based on the foregoing, the transaction
value is equal to the sum of (1) the product of number of outstanding
Shares and $3.00 per Share and (2) the product of (A) 2,245,984 Shares
which are subject to options to purchase Shares with an exercise price of
less than $3.00 per share and (B) the difference between $3.00 per Share
and the exercise price per Share of such options.
** The filing fee, calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, is 1/50th of one percent of the aggregate Transaction

This Amendment No. 4 amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement
on Schedule TO (as amended and supplemented, the "Schedule TO"), filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on December 8, 2000 by LW Acquisition Corp.,
a Delaware corporation ("Purchaser") and an indirect wholly- owned subsidiary of
Ricoh Company, Ltd., a Japanese corporation ("Parent"), to purchase any and all
of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share
(including the associated participating preferred stock purchase rights) (the
"Common Stock"), of Lanier Worldwide, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), at a purchase price of $3.00 per share, net to the seller in cash,
without interest thereon, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
in the Offer to Purchase, dated December 8, 2000 (the "Offer to Purchase") and
in the related Letter of Transmittal (the "Letter of Transmittal") (which,
together with the Offer to Purchase, as amended or supplemented from time to
time, constitute the "Offer").
Reference is hereby made to the press release dated January 9, 2001,
which is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(1)(J) and is incorporated herein by
reference.
ITEM 1. SUMMARY TERM SHEET.
Item 1 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
The answer to the question "HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO DECIDE WHETHER TO
TENDER IN THE OFFER?" in section entitled "SUMMARY TERM SHEET" of the Offer to
Purchase is hereby amended by adding the following paragraph:
"The Offer has been extended until midnight, New York City time, on
Wednesday, January 24, 2001, unless otherwise extended. The Offer had been
originally scheduled to expire at midnight, New York City time, on Monday,
January 8, 2001. The extension is required because all of the conditions to the
Offer have not been satisfied or waived, including receipt of antitrust
approvals from the European Union and The Republic of Colombia authorities.
Although there can be no assurances, Parent and Purchaser have been advised that
the necessary Colombian antitrust approval is expected to be received during the
month of January. In addition, absent a second stage investigation by the
European Commission, receipt of the European Union antitrust approval is
expected to be obtained by January 24, 2001. Parent and Purchaser may further
extend the January 24, 2001 expiration date in the event that the antitrust
approvals have not received by that date or that other conditions to the Offer
have not been met or waived by Parent and Purchaser on or before the new
expiration date."
The answer to the question "WHAT ARE THE MOST SIGNIFICANT CONDITIONS TO
THE OFFER?" in the section entitled "SUMMARY TERM SHEET" is hereby amended by
deleting the words "and The Republic of Poland" from the sentence following the
fourth bullet point.
ITEM 4. TERMS OF THE TRANSACTION
Item 4 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented to include the
following paragraphs:
"The Offer has been extended until midnight, New York City time, on
Wednesday, January 24, 2001, unless otherwise extended. The Offer had originally
been scheduled to expire at midnight, New York City time, on Monday, January 8,
2001."
"The consent of The Republic of Poland antitrust authorities will not
be necessary to consummate the Merger and is no longer a condition to the
Offer."

on Wednesday, January 24, 2001, unless further extended. In addition, the Offer
is no longer conditioned upon the receipt of antitrust approval by The Republic
of Poland. On January 9, 2001, Parent issued a press release announcing the
extension of the tender offer and the removal of the Polish antitrust condition
to the Offer. The press release is attached as an exhibit hereto and
incorporated herein by reference."
