last five years, neither of the Reporting Person or the persons identified on
Schedule A attached hereto was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or

Pursuant to the OSI Stock Option Agreement, OSI granted to WJ an irrevocable
option to purchase 4,577,830 shares of its Common Stock (subject to adjustment)
at a purchase price of $16.94 per share (subject to adjustment).  In addition,
OSI, John D. Fruth (the "Stockholder") and WJ entered into a Stockholders

acquired thereafter in favor of the Merger, the Merger Agreement and all other
transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement.  WJ entered into the OSI
Stock Option Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement to facilitate the
transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

     On May 30, 2000, OSI, WJ and Merger Sub entered into a Termination
Agreement pursuant to which the Merger Agreement, the OSI Stock Option
Agreement, the Stockholders Agreement and all of the other agreements related to
the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement were

million pursuant to Section 7.2(b)(i) of the Merger Agreement and $5.0 million
pursuant to Section 7 of the WJ Stock Option Agreement (as defined in the Merger
Agreement). Immediately thereafter, WJ entered into an Agreement and Plan of

("Purchaser"), whereby Purchaser agreed, subject to the terms and conditions
stated therein, to acquire through a tender offer all of the the outstanding
shares of common stock of WJ for $38.50 per share in cash.

of any shares of Common Stock.

     Item 6.   Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings of Relationships With
               Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

     Except as otherwise set forth in this Statement (and the agreements
referenced herein), to the best knowledge of the Reporting Person, no contracts,
arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) exist among
the persons named in Item 2 or between such persons and any other person with
respect to any securities of OSI, including but not limited to transfer or
voting of any of the securities of OSI, finder's fees, joint ventures, loan or
option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees or profits, divisions of profits
or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies, or a pledge or contingency,
the occurrence of which would give another person voting power over the
securities of OSI.

     Item 7.   Material to be filed as Exhibits.

     Exhibit A --  Termination Agreement, dated as of May 30, 2000, by and among
                   Wesley Jessen VisionCare, Inc., OSI Acquisition Corp. and
