Press release from the issuing company

LISLE, Ill.---May 29, 2002--In keeping with its commitment to developing strong relationships with minority and women-owned business enterprises, Wallace recently donated a rotary offset press to MLK Business Forms, a New Haven, CT-based minority-owned printer specializing in single and multi-part continuous forms and snapout sets. The press is a fixed-size 22" circumference x 32" wide four-color wet offset press with numbering, file hole, punching, and perforating with corresponding drive components. "This press is a major contribution to our company, since it will help us become more competitive in long-run continuous and snap applications," said Fred Levesh, Executive Vice President of MLK Business Forms.
