     This Final Amendment amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on
Schedule 14D-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") on June 25, 1999 and as amended and supplemented on July 9, 1999,
July 20, 1999, and July 26, 1999 (as amended and supplemented, the "Schedule
14D-1") relating to the offer by NSI Enterprises, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Purchaser") and a wholly owned subsidiary of National Service Industries,
Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Parent"), to purchase all of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Shares"), of Holophane
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), at a price of $38.50 per
Share, net to the seller in cash, less any required withholding taxes and
without interest thereon, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
in the Offer to Purchase dated June 25, 1999 (the "Offer to Purchase") and in
the related Letter of Transmittal. Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized
terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in
the Schedule 14D-1.

ITEM 5. PURPOSE OF THE TENDER OFFER AND PLANS OR PROPOSALS OF THE BIDDER.

     Item 5 of the Schedule 14D-1 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

     On July 29, 1999, Parent announced that it had merged Purchaser into the
Company (the "Merger") with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation
in the Merger, and that the Merger became effective July 29, 1999. Because
Parent had acquired at least 90% of the outstanding Shares, the Merger was
effected without a meeting of stockholders of the Company. As a result of the
Merger, the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent and each
outstanding Share (other than Shares held in the treasury of the Company, and
each Share, if any, owned by Parent, the Purchaser or any other direct or
indirect subsidiary of Parent, the Purchaser or the Company, which shall be
canceled, and Shares owned by stockholders who have perfected their appraisal
rights in accordance with Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law)
was converted into the right to receive $38.50 per Share, net to the seller in
cash, less any required withholding taxes and without interest thereon. The full
text of the press release is set forth in Exhibit (a)(11) and is incorporated
herein by reference.

     On July 29, 1999 the Parent requested that the New York Stock Exchange (the
"NYSE") delist the Shares from the NYSE and filed on Form 15 with the Securities
and Exchange Commission to deregister the Shares under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended.

ITEM 6. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE SUBJECT COMPANY.

     Item 6 of the Schedule 14D-1 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

          Pursuant to the Offer, which expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City
     Time, on Friday, July 23, 1999, the Purchaser ultimately acquired
     approximately 10,323,872 Shares. Such Shares represent approximately 98% of
     all outstanding Shares.

     The information provided in this Final Amendment under Item 5 is
incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 11.  MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS.

     Item 11 is hereby amended and supplemented to add the following:

          (a)(11) Press Release issued by Parent on July 29, 1999.
