As a result of the significant time and effort expended by the management of Merrill Corporation (the "Registrant") in connection with the negotiation of a credit agreement amendment, the Registrant is unable to complete the required analysis for its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2000. As a result, the Registrant was not in a position to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2000. Nevertheless, the Registrant intends to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2000, no later than the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date, as contemplated by Rule 12b-25(b)(2) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
