MULTI-COLOR CORPORATION
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: William R. Cochran
May 6, 1996
Multi-Color Corporation has successfully completed the final
stage of its commitment to strengthen its balance sheet by
approximately $3,000,000 by raising $2,625,000 through the sale
of 52,500 shares of a newly created issue of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock to Label Venture Group LLC, a
Delaware Limited Liability Company, and converting the entire
outstanding principal amount ($500,000) of the Subordinated
Convertible Notes issued in October, 1995 into a newly created
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.
Each share of Series A Convertible Common Stock is immediately
convertible into ten shares of the Company's Common Stock or a
total of 525,000 shares of Common Stock, which would be 19.46%
of the Company's outstanding Common Stock after the conversion.
The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock bears a preferred
dividend of $4.25 per share. The Company has the right to
redeem the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock starting in May,
1998. The holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
have the right to appoint one member to the Company's Board of
Directors and have designated Louis Perlman as their Board
designee.
The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock bears a preferred
dividend of $4.25 per share, is immediately convertible into
132,420 shares of Common Stock, and may be redeemed by the
Company starting in May, 1998.
The Company intends to use the proceeds to support its future
capital expansion plans and to reduce its indebtedness to PNC
Bank and Star Bank, its principal lenders. The completion of
the above, coupled with the recent amended loan agreement,
provides the resources to allow Multi-Color to successfully
attain its strategic plan. In this regard, Multi-Color wishes
to express its thanks to PNC Bank and Star Bank for their
cooperation.
