ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

        On October 7, 1997, Pearson Merger Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Purchaser"), which was a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Pearson plc,
a corporation organized under the laws of England (the "Parent"), commenced a
tender offer (the "Offer") to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock and Class B Common Stock of the Issuer (the Common Stock and the Class B
Common Stock are collectively referred to as the "Shares") at a price per Share
of $25.50 in cash, net to the seller, without interest thereon, upon the terms
and subject to the conditions set forth in the Purchaser's Offer to Purchase,
dated October 7, 1997, as amended or supplemented, and the related Letter of
Transmittal (which together constitute the "Offer Documents") included in the
Tender Offer Statement on Schedule 14D-1, dated October 7, 1997 and as amended
and supplemented thereafter, filed by the Purchaser and the Parent on October 7,
1997 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"). The Offer
Documents indicated that the principal executive offices of the Parent are
located at 3 Burlington Gardens, London W1X 1LE, England, and the principal
executive offices of the Purchaser were located at 30 Rockefeller Plaza, New
York, New York 10112.

        The Offer was made pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated
as of October 1, 1997 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among the Issuer, the
Parent and the Purchaser, all as more fully described in the
Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (as amended and
supplemented, the "Schedule 14D-9") filed by the Issuer with the Commission on
October 7, 1997. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, following the expiration of
the Offer on November 4, 1997 and upon the satisfaction of certain conditions
set forth in the Merger Agreement, all of which had occurred by November 7,
1997, the Purchaser was merged with and into the Issuer (the "Merger"),
effective November 7, 1997 (the "Effective Time"). As a result of the Merger,
the separate corporate existence of the Purchaser ceased, and the Issuer was the
surviving corporation in the Merger (the "Surviving Corporation").

        At the Effective Time, each Share issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time (other than shares owned by the Parent, the
Purchaser or any other subsidiary or affiliate of Parent or Shares held by
stockholders who properly exercised their appraisal rights pursuant to Section
2622 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware) were, by
<PAGE>   11
                                                                   Page 11 of 13

virtue of the Merger and without any action by the holder thereof, converted
into the right to receive $25.50 in cash, net to the seller, without interest
thereon (the "Merger Consideration") upon the surrender of the certificate
representing such Shares.

        In the Merger Agreement, the Parent acknowledged that the consummation
of the Offer and the Merger constituted an "Event" (as defined in the Issuer's
1991 Incentive Stock Option Plan and 1994 Stock Incentive Plan (collectively,
the "Plans")) with respect to the stock options granted thereunder, certain
other stock options granted by the Issuer and other stock options specified in
the Merger Agreement and that the vesting of such options became accelerated as
a result of the acceptance of the Offer by the Parent so as to permit the
exercise of any such unvested options and tender of the underlying Shares. At
the Effective Time, each holder of a then outstanding stock option or warrant to
purchase Shares, whether or not then exercisable, received, in settlement
thereof (except to the extent otherwise agreed to by the holder of the option or
warrant, the Issuer and Parent) from the Issuer (from funds provided by Parent
to the paying agent) for each Share subject to such stock option or warrant an
amount in cash equal to the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the
per Share exercise price of such stock option or warrant (such amount is
hereinafter referred to as the "Option Consideration"). Upon receipt of the
Option Consideration, the stock option or warrant was canceled.


ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO
        THE ISSUER

        As a condition and inducement to the Parent's and the Purchaser's
entering into the Merger Agreement and incurring the liabilities therein,
concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, A. Scotti,
B. Scotti, Roth, Bradshaw, Vinnedge, Lamattina (collectively, the "Selling
Stockholders") and The Interpublic Group of Companies, Inc. ("Interpublic"), who
owned or shared voting power and dispositive power with respect to approximately
55.79% of the Shares (excluding Shares issuable upon exercise of stock options
and warrants), entered into that certain Stockholders Agreement, dated October
1, 1997 (the "Pearson Stockholders Agreement"), by and among the Parent, the
Purchaser, Interpublic and the Selling Stockholders which was filed on October
7, 1997 with the Commission as Exhibit 3 to the Schedule 14D-9. In the Pearson
Stockholders Agreement, the Selling Stockholders and Interpublic represented
that they owned, in the aggregate, 6,789,260 Shares.

        Pursuant and subject to the terms and conditions Pearson Stockholders
Agreement, each Selling Stockholder severally agreed to tender his respective
Shares and any Shares subsequently acquired pursuant to exercises after the date
thereof of options or warrants to purchase Common Stock or Class B Common Stock
(the "Subject Shares") into the Offer in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the Offer and to not withdraw any Subject Shares so tendered
unless the Merger Agreement was terminated in accordance with its terms. In
addition, each Selling

                                                                   Page 12 of 13

Stockholder agreed to sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser agreed to
purchase, all of such Selling Stockholders' Subject Shares at a price per Share
equal to $25.50 or such higher price per Share as may have been offered by the
Purchaser in the Offer (the "Purchase Price"), provided that such obligation to
purchase was subject to the Purchaser having accepted Shares for payment under
the Offer and the other conditions described in the Merger Agreement having been
satisfied.

        As a result of their execution of the Pearson Stockholders Agreement,
the Reporting Persons took the following actions to dispose of all of their
respective record or beneficial ownership of the Issuer's Shares:

        On October 27, 1997, A. Scotti, B. Scotti, Roth and Bradshaw tendered
1,435,995, 1,435,995, 340,850 and 250,000 shares of Common Stock to the
depositary for the Offer pursuant to the Pearson Stockholders Agreement,
constituting all of their respective shares of Common Stock. On November 3,
1997, Vinnedge tendered 141,875 shares of Common Stock to the depositary for the
Offer pursuant to the Pearson Stockholders Agreement, constituting all of his
shares of Common Stock. On November 4, 1997, the Offer expired pursuant to its
terms, and, on November 5, 1997, the Purchaser accepted for payment all shares
of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock tendered in the Offer, including all
shares of Common Stock tendered by A. Scotti, B. Scotti, Vinnedge, Roth and
Bradshaw. On November 7, 1997, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Selling
Stockholders submitted to the Issuer all of their respective stock options for
Common Stock or Class B Common Stock under the Plans or otherwise in exchange
for the payment of the Option Consideration by the Issuer, thereby resulting in
the cancellation of all such stock options. As part of such exchange, Lamattina
also submitted all of his shares of restricted Common Stock in cancellation
thereof in consideration for a cash payment by the Issuer.

        As a result of the foregoing, none of the Reporting Persons have been
since November 7, 1997 the record or beneficial owners of any shares of Common
Stock or Class B Common Stock of the Issuer.
