long-term growth strategy and furthering the Amscan business across key
international markets.

Commenting on these organizational changes, Mr. James M. Harrison, CEO,
stated, “First, I would like to welcome Ryan to our team. Ryan comes to
Party City with broad retail leadership experience and an impressive
resume of accomplishments over a 22-year career in retail that will add
significant value to our organization.

With respect to Gregg’s new responsibilities, I would like to emphasize
that much of our future growth is tied to the ultimate success of our
international efforts, and the addition of Gregg’s leadership and
knowledge of the party industry will be a huge asset in maximizing this
opportunity.

While we have enjoyed great success over the past 20 years building
ourselves to be a leading wholesaler and retailer in our industry, I am
truly excited that these changes will go a long way to ensuring our
