Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountants
(a) Previous Independent Accountants
(i) On July 26, 2000, Jostens, Inc. (the "Registrant")
received the resignation of its independent accountants,
Ernst & Young LLP. The resignation was the result of
unsuccessful mediation discussions between the Registrant
and Ernst & Young LLP related to information technology
consulting services provided by Ernst & Young LLP to the
Registrant.
(ii) The reports of Ernst & Young LLP on the Registrant's
financial statements for the past two years ended January
1, 2000 and January 2, 1999 contained no adverse opinion
or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or
modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
principles.
(iii) In connection with its audits for the two most recent
fiscal years and through August 2, 2000, there have been
no disagreements with Ernst & Young LLP on any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which
disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of
Ernst & Young LLP, would have caused them to make
reference thereto in their report on the financial
statements for such years.
(iv) The Registrants delivered a copy of this Form 8-K report
to Ernst & Young LLP on August 2, 2000. Concurrently
therewith, the Registrant requested that Ernst & Young
LLP furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities
and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees
with the above statements. Attached hereto as Exhibit
16.1 is a copy of the letter of Ernst & Young LLP to the
Securities and Exchange Commission, dated August 2, 2000.
