To the Stockholders:

You are cordially invited to attend the special meeting of the stockholders of Baldwin Technology Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), which will be held atthe Hyatt House, 830 Bridgeport Avenue, Shelton, Connecticut, 06484, onThursday, March 15, 2012, at10:00 a.m., Eastern Time.

On December 22, 2011, we entered into a merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) providing for the acquisition of the Company by Forsyth Baldwin, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”) and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Forsyth Capital Investors, LLC, a Missouri limited liability company (“FCI”). If the merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement is completed, you will be entitled to receive $0.96 per share in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes, subject to adjustment as described in the proxy statement attached to this letter, for each share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), or Class B Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class B Common Stock” and, together with the Class A Common Stock, the “Common Stock”), you own. At the special meeting, you will be asked to adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company, as a result of which the Company will become an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of FCI (the “Merger”).

In connection with the Merger, our Board of Directors formed a Transaction Committee of the Board of Directors composed entirely of independent directors to, among other things, evaluate and make a recommendation to our Board of Directors with respect to the Merger. The Transaction Committee and our Board of Directors (acting upon the unanimous recommendation of the Transaction Committee), after careful consideration, have unanimously approved the Merger Agreement and the Merger, and have determined that the Merger Agreement and the Merger are advisable, fair to and in the best interests of the holders of Common Stock.Therefore, theTransaction Committee and our Board of Directors unanimously recommend that you vote “FOR” the adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the transactions contemplated by that agreement.

However, in considering the recommendation of the Transaction Committee and the Board of Directors, you should be aware that the directors and executive officers of the Company may have certain interests in the Merger that are different from, and in addition to, the interests of our stockholders generally. The accompanying proxy statement includes information regarding the interests of our directors and executive officers that are different from, and in addition to, the interests of our stockholders generally.

The proxy statement attached to this letter provides you with information about the proposed Merger and the special meeting. We encourage you to read the entire proxy statement carefully because it explains the proposed Merger, the documents related to the Merger and other related matters, including the conditions to the completion of the Merger. You may also obtain more information about the Company from documents we have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Your vote is very important, regardless of the number of shares of Common Stock you own.The Merger cannot be completed unless the Merger Agreement is adopted by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock entitled to vote, voting together as a single class, with each share of Class A Common Stock having one vote per share and each share of Class B Common Stock having ten votes per share. If you fail to vote on the adoption of the Merger Agreement, the effect will be the same as a vote against the adoption of the Merger Agreement.

If your shares of Common Stock are held in street name by your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee, your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee will be unable to vote your shares of Common Stock without instructions from you. You should instruct your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee as to how to vote your shares of Common Stock, following the procedures provided by your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee.The failure to instruct your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee to vote your shares of Common Stock “FOR” the adoption of the Merger Agreement will have the same effect as voting against the adoption of the Merger Agreement.

Please do not send your Common Stock certificates to us at this time. If the Merger is completed, you will be sent instructions regarding surrender of your certificates.

Whether or not you expect to attend the special meeting in person, we urge you to submit your proxy as promptly as possible (1) through the Internet, (2) by telephone or (3) by marking, signing and dating the enclosed proxy card and returning it in the postage-paid envelope provided. If you receive more than one proxy card because you own shares that are registered differently, please vote all of your shares shown on all of the proxy cards.

If you are a stockholder of record of the Company, voting by proxy will not prevent you from voting your shares in person if you subsequently choose to attend the special meeting.

We look forward to seeing you at the special meeting.

Sincerely,

Gerald A. Nathe

Chairman of the Board

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING THE INTERNET AVAILABILITY OF PROXY MATERIALS
FOR THE SPECIAL MEETING

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) adopted e-proxy rules that require companies to post their proxy materials on the Internet and permit them to provide only a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials to stockholders. The Company has chosen to follow the SEC’s “full set” delivery option, and therefore, although we are posting a full set of our proxy materials (including this proxy statement and the proxy card) online, we are also mailing a full set of our proxy materials to our stockholders by mail. Therefore, even if you previously consented to receiving your proxy materials electronically, you will receive a copy of these proxy materials by mail. We believe that mailing a full set of proxy materials will help ensure that holders of a majority of our outstanding Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are present in person or represented by proxy at our meeting. We also hope to help maximize stockholder participation.

This proxy statement is available atwww.specialmeeting.baldwintech.com.

We are mailing a full set of our printed proxy materials to stockholders on or aboutFebruary16, 2012. On this date, all stockholders of record and beneficial owners will have the ability to access all of the proxy materials on the web site referred to above. These proxy materials will be available free of charge.

FCI is an investment firm affiliated with Barry-Wehmiller Group, Inc., a privately held company that owns international industrial equipment and service businesses. FCI is focused on investing in and partnering with small- to middle-market businesses through its “hybrid” equity investment approach.

Forsyth Baldwin Inc., a newly-formed Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), was formed by FCI for the sole purpose of entering into the Merger Agreement and completing the Merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Merger Sub is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of FCI and has not engaged in any business except in anticipation of the Merger.

The Merger (Page 22)

You are being asked to vote to adopt the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which Baldwin will be acquired by FCI. The acquisition will be effected by the Merger of Merger Sub, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of FCI, with and into Baldwin, with Baldwin surviving as an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of FCI. At the effective time of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of our Common Stock (other than shares held by Baldwin, FCI, Merger Sub or any of their respective subsidiaries and shares held by stockholders of the Company, if any, who validly perfect their appraisal rights under Delaware law) will be converted into the right to receive $0.96 per share in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes, which we refer to in this proxy statement as the “Merger Consideration.” The aggregate Merger Consideration paid to all of our stockholders is subject to adjustment, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, to the extent that:

the Company’s aggregate cash balances (plus (i) the amount of any expenses paid by the Company in connection with the Merger, (ii) repayment or prepayment of certain amounts under the Company’s debt facilities and (iii) the amount of any 2011 Christmas bonuses paid by Baldwin Germany GmbH (up to the euro equivalent of $400,000)) exceeds (b) the Company’s aged accounts payable (and debt incurred under certain debt facilities since the date of the Merger Agreement) by less than $1,800,000;
the amount of the Company’s expenses paid or incurred in connection with the Merger exceed $1,400,000; and
the Company incurs certain fees to its lenders in connection with the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by that agreement or in connection with any default, financing or refinancing after December 22, 2011.

Several factors beyond the Company’s control may result in a downward adjustment of the MergerConsideration, such as a decline in customer demand for the Company’s products and services or in our customers’ ability to make timely payments, which could negatively impact the Company’s aggregate cash balances or aged accounts payable. In the event that the adjustments would result in the Merger Consideration being less than $0.90 per share, the Company is obligated under the Merger Agreement to adjourn or postpone the special meeting, amend this proxy statement and resolicit the approval of the Company’s stockholders for the Merger, at the revised Merger Consideration, adjusted as set forth above, which may be substantially less than $0.90 per share.

The parties currently expect to complete the Merger as early asMarch 20, 2012, subject to satisfaction of the conditions described under “Terms of the Merger Agreement — Conditions tothe Merger” beginning on page 61.

A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached asAppendix A to this proxy statement.You are encouraged to read the Merger Agreement carefully in its entirety because it is the legal agreement that governs the Merger.

Treatment of Company Stock Awards, Options and Warrants (Page 40)

The Merger Agreement provides that:

each restricted stock unit award and other right, contingent or accrued, to acquire or receive shares of Common Stock or benefits measured by the value of such shares, and each award of any kind consisting of shares of Common Stock that may be held, awarded, outstanding, payable or reserved for issuance under the Company’s 1996 Stock Option Plan, the 1998 Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan, or the 2005 Equity Compensation Plan or award agreements entered into pursuant thereto, other than options (each, a “Company Stock Award”) outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, whether or not then vested or exercisable, will be cancelled and converted into a right to receive $0.96 per share in cash, subject to adjustment as described in this proxy statement, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the effective time of the Merger; and
each option or warrant to acquire shares of Common Stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, whether or not then vested or exercisable, will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the effective time of the Merger, an amount in cash per share, without interest, equal to $0.96, subject to adjustment as described in this proxy statement, less the per share exercise price of such option or warrant, less any applicable withholding taxes.

The total amount expected to be paid in respect of Company Stock Awards, options and warrants is approximately $1,250,000, subject to adjustment as described in this proxy statement.

Recommendation of our Board of Directors and Transaction Committee (Page 28)

In connection with the Merger, our Board of Directors formed the Transaction Committee composed of certain independent directors to, among other things, evaluate and make a recommendation to our Board of Directors with respect to the Merger. The Transaction Committee consisted of the following independent directors: Paul J. Griswold, Ronald B. Salvagio, Claes Warnander and Rolf Bergstrom. The Transaction Committee and our Board of Directors (acting upon the unanimous recommendation of the Transaction Committee), after careful consideration, have unanimously: (i) determined that the Merger Agreement and the Merger, are advisable, fair to and in the best interests of the holders of Common Stock, (ii) approved and declared advisable the execution, delivery and performance of the Merger Agreement and the Merger, (iii) recommended that our stockholders vote “FOR” adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the transactions contemplated by that agreement, and (iv) recommended that our stockholders vote “FOR” the approval of any proposal to adjourn the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate to solicit additional proxies in the event that there are not sufficient votes in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement at the time of the special meeting.

However, in considering the recommendation of the Transaction Committee and the Board of Directors, you should be aware that the directors and executive officers of the Company have certain interests in the Merger that are different from, and in addition to, the interests of our stockholders generally. This proxy statement includes information regarding interests of our directors and executive officers that are different from, and in addition to, the interests of our stockholders generally.

For a discussion of the material factors considered by the Transaction Committee and our Board of Directors in reaching their conclusions, see “The Merger—Reasons for the Merger; Recommendation of Our Board of Directors and Transaction Committee” beginning on page 28.

Opinion of Duff & Phelps (Page 34)

On November 21, 2011 Duff & Phelps, LLC (“Duff & Phelps”) was engaged to provide an opinion to the Transaction Committee as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the holders of the Common Stock, of the consideration to be received in the Merger.

Duff & Phelps rendered its written opinion to the Transaction Committee on December 22, 2011, that, subject to the assumptions, qualifications and limiting conditions set forth therein, as of such date, the consideration to be received by the holders of the Common Stock in the Merger was fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of the Common Stock. The full text of the written opinion of Duff & Phelps is attached asAppendix B to this proxy statement and is incorporated herein by reference.

No Financing Condition (Page40)

The Merger Agreement does not contain any financing-related closing condition. Baldwin and FCI estimate that the total amount of funds necessary to pay the Merger Consideration to our stockholders and approximately $1,250,000 in respect of Company Stock Awards, options and warrants (the “Total Merger Consideration”) is approximately $16,400,000 and that approximately $20,000,000 will be required to repay the Company’s outstanding indebtedness at the effective time of the Merger. FCI has represented in the Merger Agreement that it will have sufficient funds to pay the Total Merger Consideration and otherwise satisfy its obligations under the Merger Agreement, including the repayment of such indebtedness. FCI has also represented that it has received an equity commitment from Barry-Wehmiller Group, Inc. set forth in a letter dated December 22, 2011, the proceeds of which will be available, if necessary, to fund its obligations under the Merger Agreement.

Interests of the Company’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger (Page 41)

As of the close of business onFebruary 13, 2012, the record date for the special meeting, our directors and executive officers beneficiallyowned, in the aggregate,1,727,900 shares of Class A Common Stock, and225,044 shares of Class B Common Stock, representing approximately10.61% of our outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and20.60% of our outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, respectively. Holders of shares of Class A Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share and holders of shares of Class B Common Stock are entitled to ten votes per share. As a result, the shares our directors and executiveofficers were entitled to voteas of the record date constituted approximately11.72% of the voting power of the shares of Common Stock entitled to vote on the adoption of the Merger Agreement. FCI entered into Voting Agreements, dated as of December 22, 2011, with each of our directors and Akira Hara, a stockholder and former director and executive officer of the Company (the “Voting Agreements”). The shares owned as of the record date by our stockholdersthat are parties to the Voting Agreements constituted approximately29.20% of the voting power of the shares of Common Stock entitled to vote on the adoption of the Merger Agreement. Under the terms of the Voting Agreements, the stockholders that are parties to the Voting Agreements agreed to vote all of their shares of Common Stock“FOR”the adoption of the Merger Agreement. Additional details of the voting interests of our directors and executive officers are described under “Security Ownership of Management and Certain Beneficial Owners” beginning on page 67.

In considering the unanimous recommendation of our Board of Directors, you should be aware that our directors and executive officers have interests in the Merger that are different from, and in addition to, your interests as a stockholder and that may present actual or potential conflicts of interest. Our Board of Directors was aware of these interests and considered that these interests may be different from, and in addition to, the interests of our stockholders generally in approving the Merger Agreement and the Merger, and in determining to recommend that our stockholders vote for adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the transactions contemplated by that agreement. These interests include continued indemnification and liability insurance for our directors and officers following completion of the Merger, severance payments to certain of our executive officers if their employment is terminated after completion of the Merger, accelerated vesting of options to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock and Company Stock Awards, and termination of restrictions on restricted stock awards held by our directors and executive officers.

For a discussion of these and other interests of our directors and executive officers, see “The Merger—Interests of the Company’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger” beginning on page 41.

Advisory Vote on Golden Parachute Compensation (Page47)

In accordance with Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Rule 14a-21(c) under the Exchange Act, we are providing stockholders with the opportunity to cast a nonbinding advisory vote with respect to certain payments that may be made to Mark T. Becker, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, and Ivan R. Habibe, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Vice President of Global Administrative Services, in connection with the Merger, or “golden parachute” compensation, as reported in the Golden Parachute Compensation table on page 47. The Board of Directors recommends that you vote “FOR” approval of the nonbinding advisory proposal regarding “golden parachute” compensation.

Approval of the proposal regarding “golden parachute” compensation requires the approval of a majority of the votes properly cast upon this proposal. Approval of this proposal is not a condition to completion of the Merger. The vote with respect to “golden parachute” compensation is an advisory vote and will not be binding on the Company. Therefore, regardless of whether stockholders approve the “golden parachute” compensation, if the Merger is approved by the stockholders and completed, the “golden parachute” compensation will still be paid to Messrs. Becker and Habibe to the extent payable in accordance with the terms of the agreements relating to such compensation.

Solicitations (Page 57)

The Merger Agreement provides that until 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on January 28, 2012 (the “go-shop” period), the Company and its representativeswere permitted to:

initiate, solicit, facilitate and encourage, whether publicly or otherwise, the submission, announcement or making of alternative transaction proposals or inquiries with respect to an alternative transaction;
furnish and provide access to information to any entity in connection with or in response to a proposal or inquiry relating to an alternative transaction so long as such entity has entered into a confidentiality agreement with the Company that is not materially less restrictive than the confidentiality agreement between the Company and FCI (an “Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement”) and the Company promptly provides to FCI any material non-public information concerning the Company that is provided to such entity and was not previously provided or made available to FCI; and
enter into, maintain or continue discussions or negotiations with any entity with respect to an alternative transaction proposal or inquiry.

The Merger Agreement provides that within three business days after the expiration of the “go-shop” period, the Company must notify FCI of the identity of each excluded party (as defined below) and provide to FCI copies of any document containing the material terms and conditions of each excluded party’s acquisition proposal or, if any such material term or condition is not memorialized in a document, then the Company must provide a written summary of such material term or condition to FCI.See “TheMerger—Background of the Merger” beginning on page 22 for additional information regarding the results of the “go-shop” process.

The Merger Agreement also provides that after 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on January 28, 2012, the Company and its representativeswere required to immediately cease the activities permitted during the “go-shop” period summarized above and described in more detail under “Terms of the Merger Agreement—Solicitations” on page 57, except as may relate to excluded parties. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, following the expiration of the “go-shop” period, the Company and its representatives must not (except as may be required with respect to an excluded party): (i) solicit, initiate, continue or knowingly encourage any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, any acquisition proposal; (ii) enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any entity any non-public information for the purpose of encouraging or facilitating, or that could reasonably be expected to lead to, any acquisition proposal; or (iii) accept an acquisition proposal or enter into any agreement or agreement in principle (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement) providing for or relating to an acquisition proposal or enter into any agreement or agreement in principle requiring the Company to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the Merger or breach its obligations under the Merger Agreement.

Notwithstanding the restrictions described above, the Merger Agreement provides that at any time before the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the Company’s stockholders, the Company may provide information to and participate in discussions with third parties from whom the Company has received an acquisition proposal that was not solicited in violation of the Merger Agreement, so long as the Board of Directors, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, reasonably determines in good faith that such proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to constitute a superior offer when compared with FCI’s offer to acquire the Company. Such third parties must execute an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement with the Company prior to receiving any confidential information from the Company or its representatives, and the Company must also provide FCI with access to any material non-public information furnished to any third party or any excluded party prior to furnishing such information to such third party or excluded party.

In addition, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, after 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on January 28, 2012, the Company must promptly, and in no event later than 48 hours following the receipt thereof, notify FCI of any such acquisition proposal, including the material terms and conditions thereof and the identity of the party making such proposal, and provide FCI copies of any written requests, proposals or offers, including proposed agreements, and keep FCI reasonably informed as to the status and any material developments concerning the same.

At any time before the adoption of the Merger Agreement by our stockholders, subject to complying with the applicable terms of the Merger Agreement, our Board of Directors may withdraw or modify its recommendation with respect to the adoption of the Merger Agreement if, after the receipt by the Company of an acquisition proposal or due to a change in circumstances, our Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that such withdrawal or modification is required by the Board of Directors’ fiduciary obligations to our stockholders.

For purposes of the Merger Agreement, “excluded party” means any person or group of related persons from whom the Company has received, during the “go-shop” period, a written acquisition proposal that the Board of Directors determines in good faith prior to the expiration of the “go-shop” period, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, is bona fide and could reasonably be expected to result in a superior offer. Any person or group of related persons that was an excluded party shall cease to be an excluded party on the date that is 20 days following the end of the “go-shop” period.No “excluded party” was designated during the “go-shop” period.

by mutual written consent of the Forsyth Parties and the Company;
by either the Forsyth Parties or the Company if:

the Merger has not been consummated by June 30, 2012 (the “End Date”), except that neither FCI nor the Company may terminate the Merger Agreement for the failure to consummate the Merger by the End Date if the failure to consummate the Merger by the End Date is attributable to a failure on the part of such party to perform any covenant or obligation required by the Merger Agreement; provided, that, in the event that the Company resolicits the approval of its stockholders in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, the End Date shall be extended by an additional number of days appropriate to accomplish such resolicitation and subsequent stockholder vote, but in no event shall the End Date be extended to a date later than 40 days following the date the Company mails an amended or supplemented proxy statement to stockholders in connection with such resolicitation;

Under certain circumstances resulting in the termination of the Merger Agreement, we will be required to pay a termination feeof $3,000,000 toFCI.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences (Page 47)

Generally, the Merger will be taxable to our stockholders who are U.S. persons for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A holder of Common Stock receiving cash in the Merger that is a U.S. person generally will recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash received and the holder’s adjusted tax basis in our Common Stock surrendered. You should consult your own tax advisor for a full understanding of how the Merger will affect your particular tax consequences.

Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal (Page 49)

Under Delaware law, if you fully comply with the provisions of Section 262 of theDelaware Law, you are entitled to appraisal rights in connection with the Merger. You will have the right, under and assuming full compliance with Delaware law, to have the fair value of your shares of Common Stock determined by the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Court”) and to receive such fair value, together with interest, if any, as determined by the Delaware Court, in lieu of the consideration you would otherwise be entitled to pursuant to the Merger Agreement. This right to appraisal is subject to a number of restrictions and technical requirements. Generally, in order to exercise your appraisal rights you must:

send a timely written demand to us at the address set forth on page70 of this proxy statement for appraisal in compliance with Delaware law, which demand must be delivered to us before the stockholder vote to adopt the Merger Agreement set forth in this proxy statement;
not vote in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement; and
continuously hold your shares of Common Stock, from the date you make the demand for appraisal through the closing of the Merger.

Merely voting against the Merger Agreement will not perfect your rights to an appraisal, which requires strict compliance with all the steps provided under Delaware law. Requirements under Delaware law for exercising appraisal rights are described in further detail beginning on page 49. The relevant section of Delaware law regarding appraisal rights, Section 262 of theDelaware Law, is reproduced in its entirety and attached asAppendix C to this proxy statement.

If you vote for the adoption of the Merger Agreement, you will be deemed to have waived your rights to seek appraisal of your shares of Common Stock under Delaware law. This proxy statement constitutes our notice to our stockholders of the availability of appraisal rights in connection with the Merger in compliance with the requirements of Section 262 of theDelaware Law.

Litigation Related to the Merger (Page 48)

On December 29, 2011, a putative class action complaint was filed against the Company, the Forsyth Parties and the individual members of our Board of Directors in the Delaware Court of Chancery challenging the Merger. On January 10, 2012, a putative class action complaint was filed against the Company, the Forsyth Parties and the individual members of our Board of Directors in the Circuit Court of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County, Florida challenging the Merger. Additional similar lawsuits may be filed in the future.

Each complaint alleges, among other things, that the members of our Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties owed to our stockholders by entering into the Merger Agreement, approving the proposed Merger, and failing to take steps to maximize our value to our stockholders and that Baldwin and the Forsyth Parties aided and abetted such breaches of fiduciary duties. In addition, each complaint alleges that certain provisions of the Merger Agreement unduly restrict our ability to negotiate with other potential bidders. Each complaint seeks, among other things, injunctive relief prohibiting the defendants from consummating the proposed Merger and damages.

One of the conditions to the closing of the Merger is that no order by any governmental entity shall be in effect that enjoins or prevents the consummation of the Merger or that makes the consummation of the Merger illegal. As such, if the plaintiffs in either lawsuit are successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting the defendants from completing the Merger on the agreed-upon terms, then such injunction may prevent the Merger from becoming effective, or from becoming effective within the expected timeframe.

While these cases are in the early stages and there can be no assurance regarding the resolution of the litigation, the defendants believe that the claims asserted therein are without merit and intend to contest the lawsuits vigorously.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE SPECIAL MEETING AND THE MERGER

The following questions and answers are intended to briefly address some commonly asked questions regarding procedural matters relating to the Merger, the Merger Agreement and the special meeting. These questions and answers may not address all questions that may be important to you as a holder of Common Stock. Please refer to the “Summary” and the more detailed information contained elsewhere in this proxy statement, the appendices to this proxy statement and the documents referred to in this proxy statement, which you should read carefully. See “Where Stockholders Can Find MoreInformation” on page70.

Q:	Why am I receiving these materials?

A:	FCI and Baldwin have agreed to a Merger, pursuant to which Baldwin will become an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of FCI and will no longer be a publicly held corporation. A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached to this proxy statement asAppendix A. Baldwin’s stockholders must vote to adopt the Merger Agreement before the Merger can be completed, and Baldwin is holding a special meeting of its stockholders to enable them to vote on the adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the transactions contemplated by that agreement.

	You are receiving this proxy statement because you own shares of Common Stock. This proxy statement contains important information about the proposed transaction and the special meeting, and you should read it carefully. The enclosed proxy statement allows you to vote your shares of Common Stock without attending the special meeting in person.

Q:	Why should I vote “FOR” the Merger?

A:	If the Merger is completed, you will receive $0.96 per share in cash, subject to adjustment as described in this proxy statement. The Board of Directors believes that $0.96 per share of Common Stock is the highest price reasonably obtainable from any party. The Board of Directors also believes that it is unlikely that the Company’s business will improve in the near and medium term to achieve a price of greater than $0.96 per share, given that there is economic and industry uncertainty and risk and that the Company’s current bank lending group is not willing to extend the Company’s financing beyond July 2, 2012, and, despite its aggressive efforts, the Company has been unable to locate sufficient alternative financing. Thus, there is uncertainty about the future liquidity of the Company to fund its operations and capital expenditures. For additional reasons why the Board of Directors recommends that you vote “FOR” the Merger, please see “The Merger – Reasons for the Merger; Recommendation of Our Board of Directors and Transaction Committee.”

Q:	What will I receive in the Merger?

A:	If the Merger is completed, you will receive $0.96 per share in cash, subject to adjustment as described under “The Merger – Reasons for the Merger; Recommendation of Our Board of Directors and Transaction Committee – Potential Reduction of the Merger Consideration,” without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes, for each share of Common Stock that you own. For example, if you own 1,000 shares of Common Stock, you will receive $960, subject to adjustment as described in this proxy statement, in cash in exchange for your shares of Common Stock, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes. You will not be entitled to receive shares in the surviving corporation.

Q:	How does the per share Merger Consideration compare to the market price of Common Stock prior to announcement of the Merger?

A:	The per share Merger Consideration represents a premium of approximately 104% over the closing price of Class A Common Stock on December 22, 2011, the last trading day prior to the public announcement of the Merger Agreement, and a premium of approximately 85.3% and 3.6% over the average closing share price of the Class A Common Stock of approximately $0.52 per share and approximately $0.93 per share over the 30 trading days and 90 trading days, respectively, prior to such announcement.

Q:	When and where is the special meeting?

A:	The special meeting of our stockholders will be held atthe Hyatt House, 830 Bridgeport Avenue, Shelton, Connecticut, 06484, onThursday, March 15, 2012, at10:00 a.m., Eastern Time.

Q:	What am I being asked to vote on?

A:	You are being asked to consider and vote on the following proposals:

	the adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the transactions contemplated by that agreement; the adjournment of the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to adopt the Merger Agreement; the approval, on a nonbinding advisory basis,of the “golden parachute” compensation that may be payable to Mark T. Becker, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, and Ivan R. Habibe, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Vice President of Global Administrative Services, in connection with the Merger as reportedin the Golden Parachute Compensation table on page 47; and on such other business as may properly come before the special meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

Q:	How does the Company’s Board of Directors recommend that I vote on the proposals?

A:	Our Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote:

	“FOR” the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement and approval of the transactions contemplated by thatagreement; “FOR” adjournment of the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to adopt the Merger Agreement; and “FOR” approval of the nonbinding advisory proposal regarding “golden parachute” compensation

You should read “The Merger—Reasons for the Merger; Recommendation of Our Board of Directors and Transaction Committee” beginning on page 28 for a discussion of the factors that our Board of Directors and Transaction Committee considered in deciding to recommend the adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the transactions contemplated by that agreement. See also “The Merger—Interests of the Company’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger” beginning on page 41.

Q:	Why am I being asked to cast a nonbinding advisory vote to approve “golden parachute” compensation that certain of the Company’s named executive officers will receive in connection with theMerger?

A:	The Securities and Exchange Commission’s recently adopted rules require us to seek a nonbinding advisory vote with respect to certain payments that will be made to certain of the Company’s named executive officers in connection with the Merger, or “golden parachute” compensation.

Q:	What will happen if stockholders do not approve the “golden parachute” compensation at the special meeting?

A:	Approval of “golden parachute” compensation payable under existing agreements that such named executive officers may receive in connection with the Merger is not a condition to completion of the Merger. The vote with respect to “golden parachute” compensation is an advisory vote and will not be binding on the Company. Therefore, regardless of whether stockholders approve the “golden parachute” compensation, if the Merger Agreement is adopted by the stockholders and the Merger is completed, the “golden parachute” compensation will still be paid to such named executive officers to the extent payable in accordance with the terms of the agreements relating to such compensation.

Q:	Who is entitled to vote?

A:	All holders of Common Stock, as of the close of business onFebruary 13, 2012, the record date for the special meeting, are entitled to receive notice of, attend and vote at, the special meeting. On the record date, approximately15,387,272 shares ofClass A Common Stock, held by approximately200 stockholders of recordand 1,092,555 shares of Class B Common Stock, held by approximately 19stockholders of record, were outstanding and entitled to vote. You may vote all shares you owned as of the record date. You are entitled to one vote per share of Class A Common Stock and ten votes per share of Class B Common Stock.

Q:	What vote of stockholders is required to adopt the Merger Agreement?

A:	For us to complete the Merger, stockholders as of the close of business on the record date for the special meeting holding a majority of the voting power of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock entitled to vote at the special meeting, voting together as a single class, must vote “FOR” the adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the transactions contemplated by that agreement.

Q:	What vote of stockholders is required to adjourn the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate to solicit additional proxies at the special meeting?

A:	The proposal to adjourn the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate to solicit additional proxies, requires the approval of holders of a majority of the voting power of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock present, in person or by proxy, at the special meeting and entitled to vote on the matter, voting together as a single class, whether or not a quorum is present.

Q:	What does it mean if I get more than one proxy card?

A:	If you have shares of Common Stock that are registered differently or are in more than one account, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please follow the directions for voting on each of the proxy cards you receive to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

Q:	How do I vote without attending the special meeting?

A:	If you are a registered stockholder (that is, if you hold one or more stock certificates for your Common Stock), you may submit your proxy and vote your shares by returning the enclosed proxy card, marked, signed and dated, in the postage-paid envelope provided, or through the Internet or by telephone by following the instructions included with the enclosed proxy card.

	If you hold your shares through a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee, which we refer to in this proxy statement as holding shares in “street name,” you should follow the separate voting instructions provided by the broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee with the proxy statement. If you do not instruct your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee regarding the voting of your shares, your shares will not be voted and the effect will be the same as a vote “AGAINST” the adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the transactions contemplated by that agreement.

Q:	How do I vote in person at the special meeting?

A:	If you are a stockholder of record of the Company, which we refer to in this proxy statement as a “registered stockholder,” you may attend the special meeting and vote your shares in person at the special meeting by giving us a signed proxy card or ballot before voting is closed. If you want to do that, please bring proof of identification with you. Even if you plan to attend the special meeting, we recommend that you vote your shares in advance as described above, so your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend.

	If you hold your shares in “street name,” you may vote those shares in person at the special meeting only if you obtain and bring with you a signed proxy from the necessary nominee(s) giving you the right to vote the shares. To do this, you should contact your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee.

Q:	Can I change my vote?

A:	Each proxy executed and returned by a stockholder may be revoked at any time thereafter, by written notice to that effect to the Company, attention of the Secretary, prior to the special meeting, or to the Chairman or the Inspectors of Election, at the special meeting, by execution and return of a later-dated proxy, except as to any matter voted upon prior to such revocation or by attending the special meeting and voting in person (simply attending the special meeting will not constitute revocation of a proxy; you must either revoke the proxy or vote in person at the special meeting).

	If your shares are held in “street name,” you should follow the instructions of your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee regarding revocation or change of proxies. If your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee allows you to submit voting instructions through the Internet or by telephone, you may be able to change your vote by submitting new voting instructions through the Internet or by telephone.

Q:	If my shares are held in “street name” by my broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee, will my nominee automatically vote my shares for me?

A:	No. Youmustprovide voting instructions to your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee on how to vote your shares of Common Stock in accordance with their procedures.If you do not provide your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee with instructions on how to vote your shares, your shares of Common Stock will not be voted, which will have the same effect as voting “AGAINST” the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement. Please refer to the voting instruction card used by your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee to see if you may submit voting instructions using the Internet or telephone.

Q:	Is it important for me to vote?

A:	Yes, since we cannot complete the Merger without the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of Common Stock that are entitled to vote at the special meeting,your failure to vote will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the transactions contemplated by that agreement.

Q:	What happens if I return my proxy card but I do not indicate how to vote?

A:	If you properly return your proxy card, but do not include instructions on how to vote, your shares of Common Stock will be voted“FOR”the adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the transactions contemplated by that agreement,“FOR”the approval of the special meeting adjournment proposaland “FOR” approval of the nonbinding advisory proposal regarding “golden parachute” compensation. Our management does not currently intend to bring any other proposals before the special meeting. If other proposals requiring a vote of stockholders are brought before the special meeting in a proper manner, the persons named in the enclosed proxy card will have the authority to vote the shares represented by duly executed proxies in their discretion.

Q:	What happens if I abstain from voting on a proposal?

A:	If you return your proxy card with instructions to abstain from voting on a proposal, your shares will be counted for determining whether a quorum is present at the special meeting. An abstention with respect to the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement has the legal effect of a vote“AGAINST”the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement. An abstention with respect to the proposal to adjourn the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to permit further solicitation of proxies at the special meeting has the legal effect of a vote“AGAINST” the proposal to adjourn the special meeting.An abstention with respect to the nonbinding advisory proposal regarding “golden parachute” compensation will have no effect upon the nonbinding advisory proposal.

Q:	What happens if I do not return a proxy card or otherwise do not vote?

A:	Your failure to return a proxy card or otherwise vote will mean that your shares will not be counted toward determining whether a quorum is present at the special meeting and will have the legal effect of a vote“AGAINST”the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement. Such failure will have no legal effect with respect to the vote on the special meeting adjournment proposal.

Q:	What happens if I sell my shares before the special meeting?

A:	The record date for the special meeting is earlier than the special meeting and the date that the Merger is expected to be completed. If you transfer your shares of Common Stock after the record date but before the special meeting, you will retain your right to vote at the special meeting, but will have transferred the right to receive $0.96 per share in cash, subject to adjustment as described in this proxy statement, without interest and less applicable withholding taxes, to be received by our stockholders in the Merger.

Q:	Will a proxy solicitor be used?

A:	Yes. The Company has engaged Eagle Rock Proxy Advisors LLC to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the special meeting and the Company estimates that it will pay them a fee of approximately $6,000, and will reimburse them for reasonable administrative and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the solicitation.

Q:	If the Merger is completed, how will I receive the cash for my shares?

A:	If the Merger is completed, you will receive a letter of transmittal with instructions on how to send your stock certificates to the paying agent in connection with the Merger. You will receive cash for your shares from the paying agent only after you comply with these instructions. If your shares of Common Stock are held for you in “street name” by your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee, you will receive instructions from your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee as to how to effect the surrender of your “street name” shares and receive cash for such shares.

Q:	Should I send in my stock certificates now?

A:	No. Assuming the Merger is completed, you will receive a letter of transmittal shortly thereafter with instructions informing you how to send your share certificates to the paying agent in order to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest and less applicable withholding taxes. You should use the letter of transmittal to exchange your Company stock certificates for the Merger Consideration that you are entitled to receive as a result of the Merger.Do not send any stock certificates with your proxy.

Q:	When do you expect the Merger to be completed?

A:	We currently expect to complete the Merger promptly after stockholder approval is obtained. However, in addition to obtaining stockholder approval, all of the conditions to the Merger must have been satisfied or waived. In the event all of the conditions to the Merger are not satisfied or waived if and when stockholder approval is obtained, completion of the Merger may still occur, but would be delayed.

	However, if the Merger Consideration is adjusted, as described under “The Merger – Reasons for the Merger; Recommendation of Our Board of Directors and Transaction Committee – Potential Reduction in the Merger Consideration,” to less than $0.90 per share, the Company is obligated under the Merger Agreement to adjourn or postpone the special meeting, amend this proxy statement and resolicit the approval of the Company’s stockholders for the Merger at the revised Merger Consideration, adjusted as described in this proxy statement, which may be substantially less than $0.90 per share. Any such resolicitation would delay stockholder approval and completion of the Merger.

Q:	Who can help answer my other questions?

A:	If you have more questions about the Merger or the special meeting, or require assistance in submitting your proxy or voting your shares or need additional copies of the proxy statement or the enclosed proxy card, please contact Eagle Rock Proxy Advisors LLC, our proxy solicitor, toll free at(855) 253-1569. If your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee holds your shares, you may also call your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee for additional information.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain financing that provides the Company with sufficient liquidity to fund its operations or capital expenditures. If the Company is unable to obtain such financing, it will likely be insolvent.

The Credit Agreement matures on July 2, 2012. The lenders under the Credit Agreement (the “Lenders”) have advised the Company that they are unwilling to continue to lend to the Company beyond that date. The Company has been actively seeking to identify sources of equity and debt financing, including by engaging Bryant Park Capital, Inc. (“Bryant Park”) to act as its financial advisor and consultant responsible for, among other things, seeking and contacting prospective lenders and investors. However, to date, the Company has been unable to identify any sources adequate to sufficiently refinance its indebtedness under the Credit Agreement or otherwise enable the Company to sufficiently satisfy its liquidity requirements. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain financing from the Lenders or from other sources on acceptable terms or at all. If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient financing to fund its operations or capital expenditures, it is unlikely that the Company will be able to meet its obligations as they become due and may be rendered insolvent.

The Merger Consideration is subject to downward adjustment based upon various factors and may be less than $0.96 per share. In the event that the adjustments would result in the Merger Consideration being less than $0.90 per share, the Company is obligated under the Merger Agreement to resolicit the approval of the Company’s stockholders for the Merger at such adjusted Merger Consideration.

The Merger Consideration paid to all of our stockholders is subject to adjustment, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, to the extent that:

the Company’s aggregate cash balances (plus (i) the amount of any expenses paid by the Company in connection with the Merger, (ii) repayment or prepayment of certain amounts under the Company’s debt facilities and (iii) the amount of any 2011 Christmas bonuses paid by Baldwin Germany GmbH (up to the euro equivalent of $400,000)) exceeds (b) the Company’s aged accounts payable (and debt incurred under certain debt facilities since the date of the Merger Agreement) by less than $1,800,000;
the amount of the Company’s expenses paid or incurred in connection with the Merger exceed $1,400,000; and
the Company incurs certain fees to its lenders in connection with the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by that agreement or in connection with any default, financing or refinancing after December 22, 2011.

Several of the items listed above that may result in adjustment of the Merger Consideration are beyond the Company’s control. In the event that the adjustments would result in the Merger Consideration being less than $0.96 per share but greater than or equal to $0.90 per share, the Company and other involved parties will not be required to and do not intend to resolicit the approval of the Company’s stockholders. Accordingly, you may receive less than $0.96 per share, even though the amount of any reduction in the Merger Consideration is not yet known as of the date of the special meeting. In the event that the adjustments would result in the Merger Consideration being less than $0.90 per share, the Company is obligated under the Merger Agreement to adjourn or postpone the special meeting, amend this proxy statement and resolicit the approval of the Company’s stockholders for the Merger at the revised Merger Consideration, adjusted as set forth above, which may be substantially less than $0.90 per share. Such resolicitation would delay approval of the Merger, and any postponement of the special meeting could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business and results of operations, including as a result of any negative impact of a prolonged stockholder approval process on the Company’s relationships with customers, suppliers and employees. If such an adverse effect on the Company’s business and results of operations constitutes a “Material Adverse Effect” under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Forsyth Parties would not be obligated to complete the Merger.

Failure to complete the Merger could negatively impact the market price of the Common Stock.

If the Merger is not completed for any reason, the Company will be subject to a number of material risks, including the following:

the market price of the Common Stock may decline;
costs relating to the Merger, such as legal, accounting and financial advisory fees, and, in specified circumstances, a termination fee, must be paid by the Company, even if the Merger is not completed; and
the diversion of management’s attention from the day-to-day business of the Companyto focus on other financing alternatives and the potential disruption to its employees and its relationships with customers, suppliers and distributors may make it difficult for the Company to maintain its financial and market positions.

If the Merger Agreement is not adopted by our stockholders at the special meeting, the Company, FCI and Merger Sub will not be permitted under Delaware law to complete the Merger, and each of the Company, FCI and Merger Sub will have the right to terminate the Merger Agreement. Upon such termination, the Company may be required to pay FCI a termination fee. See “Terms of the Merger Agreement — Termination of the Merger Agreement” beginning on page 62 of this proxy statement.

Further, if the Merger is terminated and our Board of Directors seeks another Merger or business combination, our stockholders cannot be certain that we will be able to find a party willing to pay a price equivalent to or better than the price to be paid in the proposed Merger.

If the Merger is not completed, the Company will be required to issue warrants that will dilute the value of the Common Stock and will incur additional payment obligations under the Credit Agreement.

In connection with its entry into the Merger Agreement, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into Amendment No. 13 (“Amendment No. 13”) to the Credit Agreement. As long as the Merger Agreement is in full force and effect, Amendment No. 13 deferred until May 15, 2012 the right of the Lenders to receive (i) warrants to purchase 1,302,600 shares of Class A Common Stock, representing approximately 6.3% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on a fully-diluted basis, after giving effect to the issuance of such warrants, (ii) $900,000 of additional fees and (iii) incremental interest of between three and four percent per annum (“Incremental Interest”) on the outstanding indebtedness thereunder of approximately $16,000,000, resulting in additional interest payable thereunder of approximately $338,000 for the period from December 22, 2011 through the maturity of the Credit Agreement on July 2, 2012. Each of such deferrals shall become permanent upon the closing of the Merger no later than May 15, 2012, subject to an extension until May 30, 2012 if the special meeting has been scheduled by May 15, 2012. In addition, if the Merger is not completed, on June 1, 2012, the Company will be required to issue to the Lenders warrants to purchase an additional 289,467 shares of Class A Common Stock, which, together with the 1,302,600 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants described in (i) above, represent approximately 9.2% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on a fully-diluted basis, after giving effect to the issuance of such warrants.

If the warrants are issued, the warrants, which are exercisable at a strike price of $0.01 per share, will be dilutive to the shares of Common Stock outstanding. The Company will also incur additional costs equivalent to $0.07 per share outstanding as a result of its obligation to pay the additional fees and Incremental Interest. There can also be no assurance that the Company will have sufficient liquidity to meet its payment obligations under the Credit Agreement, including its obligation to pay the additional fees and the Incremental Interest, or that the Credit Agreement will provide sufficient liquidity to the Company to fund its operations or capital expenditures.

Uncertainties associated with the Merger may cause the Company to lose key personnel.

Our current and prospective employees may be uncertain about their future roles and relationships with the Company following the completion of the Merger. This uncertainty may adversely affect our ability to attract and retain key management and personnel.

The Company’s executive officers and directors have certain interests in the Merger different from other stockholders that may have influenced them to approve the Merger Agreement and Merger and recommend the adoption of the Merger Agreement.

The Company’s directors and executive officers have interests in the transaction that are different from, and in addition to, the interests of the Company’s stockholders generally, including with respect to employment, indemnification, stock options, restricted stock awards and other arrangements, which may present a potential conflict of interest. Our Board of Directors, and the executive officers in making recommendations to our Board of Directors relating to the Merger, were aware of these interests and considered that these interests may be different from, and in addition to, the interests of our stockholders generally in approving the Merger Agreement and the Merger, and in determining to recommend that our stockholders vote for adoption of the Merger Agreement. For more information, see the section entitled “Interests of the Company’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger” beginning on page 41.

The Company will no longer exist as an independent public company following the Merger and the Company’s stockholders will forego any increase in our value.

If the Merger is completed, the Company will be an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of FCI and will no longer be a publicly held corporation, and our stockholders will forego any increase in the value of the Common Stock that might otherwise result from our possible growth.

THE SPECIAL MEETING

General Information

The enclosed proxy is solicited on behalf of our Board of Directors for use at a special meeting of stockholders or at any adjournment or postponement of the special meeting. The special meeting will be held atthe Hyatt House, 830 Bridgeport Avenue, Shelton, Connecticut 06484, onThursday, March 15, 2012, at10:00 a.m., Eastern Time. The Company intends to mail this proxy statement and the accompanying proxy card on or aboutFebruary16, 2012 to all stockholders entitled to vote at the special meeting.

At the special meeting, stockholders will be asked to:

1. Consider and vote upon a proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement, which contemplates the Merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of FCI. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, among other things, each share of Common Stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (other than shares held by FCI, the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries, and other than shares held by stockholders of the Company, if any, who validly perfect their appraisal rights under Delaware law) will be converted into the right to receive $0.96 per share in cash, subject to adjustment as described in this proxy statement, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes.

2. Consider and vote upon a proposal to adjourn the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to permit further solicitation of proxies if there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to adopt the Merger Agreement referred to in Proposal 1.

3. Consider and vote upon a proposal to approve, on a nonbinding advisory basis, the “golden parachute” compensation that may be payable to Mark T.

Habibe, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Vice President of Global Administrative Services, in connection with the Merger as reported in the Golden Parachute Compensation table on page 47.

The Company does not expect a vote to be taken on any other matters at the special meeting. If any other matters are properly presented at the special meeting, however, the holders of the proxies, if properly authorized, will have authority to vote on these matters in their discretion.

Record Date, Quorum and Voting Power

Stockholders of record at the close of business onFebruary 13, 2012 are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the special meeting. As of the close of business onFebruary13, 2012, the Company’s outstanding voting securities consisted of15,387,272 shares of Class A Common Stock and1,092,555 shares of Class B Common Stock. Each share of Class A Common Stock entitles its holder to one vote on all matters properly coming before the special meeting. Each share of Class B Common Stock entitles its holder to ten votes on all matters properly coming before the special meeting.

A quorum of holders of our Common Stock must be present for the special meeting to be held. Holders of a majority of our outstanding Common Stock entitled to vote will constitute a quorum for the purpose of considering the proposal regarding adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. If a quorum exists, but the votes of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the special meeting are not sufficient to adopt the Merger Agreement, then holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the special meeting, voting together as a single class, may adjourn the special meeting. If holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock do not vote, in person or by proxy, in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by that agreement, the Company is obligated to adjourn the meeting for a period of not less than 20 days to permit the solicitation of additional proxies in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement. Alternatively, even if no quorum exists, then holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock present at the special meeting or represented by proxy, voting together as a single class, may adjourn the special meeting. Broker non-votes, as described below, will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.

Vote Required for Approval

For us to complete the Merger, holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock entitled to vote at the special meeting, voting together as a single class, must vote “FOR” the adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the transactions contemplated by that agreement. The proposal to adjourn the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate to solicit additional proxies, requires the approval of holders of a majority of the voting power of our Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock present in person or by proxy at the special meeting and entitled to vote on the matter, voting together as a single class, whether or not a quorum is present.For the nonbinding advisory proposal regarding “golden parachute” compensation, you may vote “FOR”, “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN”. For purposes of this proposal, if you fail to submit a proxy or to vote in person at the special meeting, or if you have given a proxy and vote “ABSTAIN”, your shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock will not be counted in respect of, and will not have an effect on, the proposal.

In order for your shares of Common Stock to be included in the vote, if you are a registered stockholder (that is, if you hold one or more stock certificates for your Common Stock), you must submit your proxy and vote your shares by returning the enclosed proxy card, in the postage prepaid envelope provided, or through the Internet or by telephone, as indicated on the proxy card, or you may vote in person at the special meeting.

Brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies or other nominees who hold shares in street name for customers have the authority to vote on “routine” proposals when they have not received instructions from beneficial owners. However, brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies or other nominees are precluded from exercising their voting discretion with respect to the approval of non-routine matters such as the adoption of the Merger Agreement. Absent specific instructions from the beneficial owner of such shares, brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies or other nominees are not empowered to vote those shares, which are referred to generally as “broker non-votes.”Because adoption of the Merger Agreement requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date, failures to vote, abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will have the same effect as votes “AGAINST” adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Voting by Directors and Executive Officers

As of the close of business onFebruary 13, 2012, the record date for the special meeting, our directors and executive officers were entitled to vote, in the aggregate,834,680 shares of our Class A Common Stock, and225,044 shares of our Class B Common Stock, representing approximately5.42% of our outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and20.60% of our outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, respectively. Holders of shares of Class A Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share and holders of shares of Class B Common Stock are entitled to ten votes per share. As a result, the shares our directors and executive officers were entitled to vote as of the record date constituted approximately11.72% of the voting power of the shares of Common Stock entitled to vote on the adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Each of our directors and Akira Hara, a stockholder and former director and executive officer of the Company, are also party to Voting Agreements with FCI. The shares owned as of the record date by our stockholders that are parties to the Voting Agreements constituted approximately29.20% of the voting power of the shares of Common Stock entitled to vote on the adoption of the Merger Agreement. Under the terms of the Voting Agreements, the stockholders parties thereto agreed to vote all of their shares of Common Stock“FOR”the adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Proxies; Revocation

If you vote your shares of Common Stock by returning a signed proxy card by mail, or through the Internet or by telephone as indicated on the proxy card, your shares will be voted at the special meeting in accordance with the instructions given. If no instructions are indicated on your signed proxy card, your shares will be voted “FOR” the adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, “FOR” adjournment of the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate to permit further solicitation of proxies,“FOR” approval of the nonbinding advisory proposal regarding "golden parachute" compensation and as directed by the persons named on the enclosed proxy card on any other matters properly brought before the special meeting for a vote.

If your shares are held in street name, you should follow the instructions of your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee regarding revocation or change of proxies. If your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee allows you to submit voting instructions through the Internet or by telephone, you may be able to change your vote by submitting new voting instructions through the Internet or by telephone.

Each proxy executed and returned by a stockholder may be revoked at any time thereafter, by written notice to that effect to the Company, attention of the Secretary, prior to the special meeting, or to the Chairman or the Inspectors of Election, at the special meeting, by execution and return of a later-dated proxy, except as to any matter voted upon prior to such revocation or by attending the special meeting and voting in person (simply attending the special meeting will not constitute revocation of a proxy; you must either revoke the proxy or vote in person at the special meeting).

The Company does not expect that any matter other than the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement and, if necessary or appropriate, the proposal to adjourn the special meeting will be brought before the special meeting. If, however, such a matter is properly presented at the special meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the special meeting, the persons named on the enclosed proxy card will have authority to vote the shares represented by duly executed proxies at their discretion.

Please do NOT send in your share certificates with your proxy card. If the Merger is completed, stockholders will be mailed a transmittal form following the completion of the Merger with instructions for use in effecting the surrender of certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration.

Adjournments

Although it is not currently expected, the special meeting may be adjourned for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies. If the Merger Consideration is adjusted, as described under “The Merger – Reasons for the Merger; Recommendation of Our Board of Directors and Transaction Committee – Potential Reduction in the Merger Consideration,” to less than $0.90 per share, the Company is obligated under the Merger Agreement to adjourn or postpone the special meeting, amend this proxy statement and resolicit the approval of the Company’s stockholders for the Merger at the revised Merger Consideration, adjusted as described in this proxy statement, which may be substantially less than $0.90 per share. Any adjournment may be made without notice, other than an announcement made at the special meeting, if the adjournment is not for more than 30 days. If a quorum exists, then, under the Company’s By-Laws, the holders of a majority of the voting power of the Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the special meeting and entitled to vote on the matter may adjourn the special meeting. Alternatively, even if no quorum exists, then holders of a majority of the voting power of the Common Stock present at the special meeting in person or represented by proxy may adjourn the special meeting. Any signed proxies received by the Company will be voted in favor of an adjournment in these circumstances, although a proxy voted “AGAINST” the proposal for the adjournment of the special meeting will not be voted in favor of an adjournment for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies. The Company stockholders who have already sent in their proxies may revoke them prior to their use at the reconvened special meeting following such adjournment, in the manner described above. Broker non-votes, if any, will not have any effect on the vote for the adjournment of the special meeting, and abstentions, if any, will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the adjournment of the special meeting.

The Proxy Solicitation

The Board of Directors is soliciting proxies in connection with the special meeting. For information regarding agreements between FCI, on the one hand, and each of our directors and Akira Hara, a stockholder and former director and executive officer of the Company, on the other hand, under which the directors and Mr. Hara have agreed, among other things, to vote or cause to be voted their shares of Common Stock in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, see “Voting Agreements” on page 65. The expenses of preparing, printing and mailing this proxy statement and the proxies solicited hereby will be borne by the Company. Additional solicitation may be made by telephone, facsimile, e-mail, in person or other contact by certain of our directors, officers, employees or agents, none of whom will receive additional compensation therefor. We will reimburse brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their reasonable expenses for forwarding material to the beneficial owners of shares held of record by others. We have also engaged Eagle Rock Proxy Advisors LLC to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the special meeting, and we estimate that we will pay them a fee of approximately $6,000, and will reimburse them for reasonable administrative and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such solicitation.

THE MERGER

Background of the Merger

The Company and the Board of Directorshave focused their attention on maximizing the value of the Company for its stockholders. This has included, but not been limited to, growing the Company’s business consistent with its business plans in a changing industry, strategic acquisitions by the Company and consideration of a sale or merger of the Company with another entity. The economic slowdown that occurred following the global financing difficulties in 2008 led to a sharp decline in printing orders, which, in turn led to the consolidation of customers and suppliers in the traditional printing and publishing industry. These developments led to an aggressive focus on cost controls by the Company and others in the industry.

In fiscal 2010 the Company met with various investment banking firms and other capital sources to explore the possibility of obtaining debt and/or equity financing to refinance the Company’s existing Credit Agreement and to obtain sufficient financial backing to adequately finance the Company’s growth plans in light of the changed environment. During this time, the Company and its Board of Directors discussed the advantages and disadvantages of potential strategic transactions with, among others, one of the Company’s largest competitors. Preliminary discussions were held, but they did not result in any agreement. Because these discussions as well as other financing discussions were not progressing to a favorable outcome in the opinion of the Board of Directors, at the end of the Company’s fiscal year (June 30, 2010), the Company refocused its efforts and strategy on developing and expanding its core business while continuing to explore other financing alternatives.

On September 30, 2010, the Board of Directors decided that a management change was in order to more aggressively and creatively pursue the operational changes and financial relationships it felt that the Company needed to develop in light of the reluctance of the Company’s current senior lenders to negotiate or extend the Credit Agreement beyond its maturity date in November 2011. Consequently,in early October 2010, Mark T. Becker replaced the previous president and chief executive officer and became the new President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

In early October 2010, Gerald A. Nathe, Chairman of the Board of Directors, received a letter from a representative of the Barry-Wehmiller Companies, Inc. (“Barry-Wehmiller”), an affiliate of FCI, indicating a general interest in the Company and seeking to arrange an exploratory call. Mr. Nathe provided the letter to Mr. Becker. Barry-Wehmiller was informed that the Company was not interested in a potential relationship, as it was focusing on resetting its operational priorities and organizational structure while exploring financing alternatives.

On December 10, 2010, Mr. Becker, Barry-Wehmiller and FCI held a teleconference call in which Barry-Wehmiller and FCI introduced themselves to the Company and described the types of companies they were interested in acquiring or with which they were otherwise interested in being affiliated. Barry-Wehmiller was informed of the Company’s intention to remain independent and that the Company was pursuing alternatives to refinance its Credit Agreement.

During the early part of 2011, the Company accelerated discussions with various investment and commercial banks and other capital sources in order to obtain debt and/or equity financing. On May 27, 2011, the Company entered into an engagement letter with Bryant Park to serve as its financial advisor in connection with a potential debt and/or equity investment into the Company.

During February and May 2011, FCI periodically sent emails to the Company citing an interest in a face-to-face introductory meeting and stating that FCI listens to the Company’s quarterly public earnings calls.

On May 10, 2011, the Company released itsoperating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 and held itsconference call with investors.The Company reported a net loss of $4,600,000 or $0.29 per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared to net income of $133,000 or $0.01 per diluted share in the prior year quarter. FCI listened to the call. During the call, the Company reported a restatement of its 2010 financial statements as a result of a revenue recognition error in its Japanese subsidiary. The Company also answered questions regarding the status of its efforts to refinance its Credit Agreement.During the first ten days of May 2011, the stock price of theCompany’s Class A Common Stock hadaveraged approximately $1.76 pershare;however, by May 16, 2011, the stock price had fallen by 23% to $1.36 per share, presumably as a result of the quarterly earnings release, before finishing the month of May 2011 at $1.33 per share.

During the week of May 16, 2011, FCI requested a meeting with the Company, but the Company’s management was unavailable because of ongoing global budget meetings and preparations for upcoming meetings of the Board of Directors.

On June 24, 2011, FCI delivered to the Company a non-binding letter of intent outlining FCI’s proposal to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company. FCI’s proposal contemplated a price range of between $1.80 and $2.00 per share, subject to due diligence. On June 23, 2011 the closing price of theCompany’s Class A Common Stock was $1.14 per share.

On July 6, 2011, the Board of Directors held a special meeting to discuss the June 24, 2011 proposal from FCI. The Board of Directors discussed at length prior discussions with FCI and Barry-Wehmiller, the status of Bryant Park’s efforts to identify sources of equity and/or debt financing for the Company and the terms of the proposal from FCI. After such discussions the Board of Directors determined that pursuit of the non-binding proposal from FCI was not in the best interest of the stockholders of the Company given the Company’s belief that alternative debt financing, replacing the current lenders,seemed probable, thus enabling the Company to pursue its strategic plans. In its communication to FCI regarding the June 24, 2011 letter, the Company agreed to meet with FCI and Barry-Wehmiller on August9, 2011 at the Company’s headquarters to understand FCI’s interest and to explorethe possibility of using FCI as a source of financing and otherpotential strategic alternatives as a backup if for any reason the Company could not identify other financing sources.

At the August 6, 2011 meeting, Barry-Wehmiller and FCI presented an overview of their businesses and discussed their interest in acquiring or financing the Company. Potential benefits and synergies were discussed by Barry-Wehmiller and FCI, based on publicly available data. The parties agreed to consider entering into a non-disclosure agreement if there was mutual continued interest.

Over the course of the next several months, the Company and FCI continued to have discussions regarding a potential transaction while alternative financing discussions with other parties through Bryant Park continued. At its August 16, 2011 meeting, the Board of Directors was informed by Bryant Park that the Company had obtained a non-binding proposal for alternative financing, subject to a due diligence investigation, with terms that provided the Company the funds to replace the Credit Agreement and sufficient financial capability to pursue its strategic plans independently.The non-binding proposal was subsequently withdrawnon September 24, 2011.Also at the August 16, 2011 meeting, the Board of Directors agreed to continue discussions with FCI and approved exchanging data under a non-disclosure agreement.

On August 29, 2011, the Company and FCI entered into a non-disclosure agreement in the context of exploring a potential business relationship. The Company’s management and FCI discussed FCI’s potential participation in the Company’s efforts to refinance its existing credit facility. In early September at the GraphExpo Trade Show in Chicago, FCI met with certain members of the Company’s management (and certain members of the Board of Directors who were in attendance at the trade show) as FCI conducted a review of the Company and its industry.

On September 24, 2011, the non-binding proposal for alternative financing was withdrawn due to the prospective lender undergoing a change of control.

On September 28, 2011, the Company discussed with Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”) the increasing risk of not being able to refinance the Credit Agreement. After considering the significant risks associated with the Company’s ability to meet its obligations under the Credit Agreement while also maintaining sufficient liquidity to operate its businesses, Bank of America, with the unanimous consent of the other Lenders, agreed to amend the Company’s Credit Agreement on October 13, 2011 to extend the maturity date thereof to July 2, 2012. The extension was designed to allow the Company additional time to refinance its indebtedness, but imposed significant penalties on the Company in the event that it did not complete its refinancing by the end of January 2012.

In September and early October 2011, the Company provided financial information requested by FCI, leading to a request by FCI to visit key locations of the Company.

On October 10, 2011, FCI visited the Company’s plants in Lenexa, Kansas and Easton, Pennsylvania as part of its due diligenceinvestigation. On October 24 and 25, 2011, FCI visited the Company’s plant in Friedberg, Germany and received an overview of global sales and operational issues. On October 26 and 27, 2011, FCI visited the Company’s plant in Arlov, Sweden. On October 28, 2011, FCI visited the Company’s plant in Slough, United Kingdom.

On November 1, 2011, the Board of Directors held a special meeting with certain of the Company’s senior management in attendance. Members of the Company’s senior management updated the Board of Directors as to the Company’s efforts to refinance its debt facilities, the Company’s latest financial forecasts, the Company’s strategic alternatives, including debt or equity financing or acquisition by athird party, for none of which had the Company identified any viable opportunities other than FCI’s proposal, and a summary of site visits completed by FCI in prior weeks.

On November 5, 2011, FCI delivered to the Company a non-binding letter of intent outlining FCI’s proposal to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company. FCI’s proposal was based on an enterprise value of the Company of$54,000,000, a fully-diluted price of $1.55 per share for the Common Stock and assumption of the Company’s outstanding indebtedness, and was conditioned upon the satisfactory results of its due diligence and the negotiation of a definitive Merger Agreement. On November 4, 2011, the last trading day before the Company’s receipt of the letter of intent from FCI, the closing price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock was $0.98 per share. The proposal contemplated providing holders of Class B Common Stock with the ability to roll-over their equity in the Company by retaining equity interests in the Company, based on a stated value of $1.55 per share, following completion of the proposed transaction. The proposal also provided for a period beginning on the date the Company countersigned the letter of intent and ending on December 2, 2011, during which the Company would agree not to negotiate a change of control transaction with any party other than FCI.

On November 9, 2011, the Board of Directors held a regular meeting with certain of the Company’s senior management and a representative of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP (“Morgan Lewis”), the Company’s counsel, also in attendance. The representative of Morgan Lewis provided an overview of the Board of Directors’ duties and responsibilities in respect of its consideration of any proposal received from a third party to acquire the Company. After discussing the proposal with members of management and Morgan Lewis, the Board of Directors met with representatives of FCI and Barry-Wehmiller to discuss FCI’s proposal. After the representatives of FCI and Barry-Wehmiller departed, the Board of Directors subsequently met with representatives of Bryant Park to discuss Bryant Park’s efforts to secure debt and/or equity financing for the Company. Bryant Park reported to the Board of Directors that as of such date, it had not identified any proposals with respect to debt and/or equity financing for theCompany that were sufficient to meet the Company’s financing needs. The Board of Directors adjourned the meeting, to be resumed the following day.

On November 10, 2011, the Board of Directors resumed the meeting. At the conclusion of the resumed meeting, the Board of Directors agreed to establish a Transaction Committee composed of the independent members of the Board of Directors – Paul Griswold, Rolf Bergstrom, Ronald B. Salvagio and Claes Warnander. The Board of Directors also agreed to consider a possible transaction with FCI, but declined to execute the letter of intent previously provided by FCI or to provide FCI with a period of exclusivity. On November 10, 2011, the Transaction Committee held its initial organizational meeting. Representatives of Morgan Lewis advised the Transaction Committee as to its duties and role with respect to a potential transaction with FCI. The Transaction Committee also discussed the proposed terms of the committee’s charter.

On November 11, 2011, representatives of FCI delivered a preliminary legal due diligence list to the Company. The Company, with the assistance of Morgan Lewis, subsequently began placing in an electronic data room due diligence materials requested by FCI and its representatives, and on November 23, 2011, FCI and its representatives were provided access to the electronic data room.

On November 16, 2011, the Transaction Committee had its second meeting during which the terms of the Transaction Committee’s charter and the status of conversations between the Company’s management and representatives of FCI were discussed. The Transaction Committee agreed to retain Morris, Nichols, Arsht & Tunnell LLP (“Morris Nichols”) to serve as Delaware counsel to the Transaction Committee. The Transaction Committee also discussed retaining the services of an investment bank to assist in the analysis of FCI’s proposal, to provide a fairness opinion with respect to the proposed consideration that would be received by a holder of Common Stock, and to solicit potential bidders during any proposed “go-shop” period.

On November 17, 2011, the Board of Directors, by unanimous written consent, approved the charter of the Transaction Committee, which charter, among other things, authorized the Transaction Committee to evaluate and make a recommendation to the Board of Directors with respect to a potential transaction with FCI and to explore alternatives to such a potential transaction. Later on November 17, 2011, FCI’s legal counsel, Thompson Coburn LLP (“Thompson Coburn”), delivered to Morgan Lewis an initial draft of a Merger Agreement.

On November 19, 2011, the Transaction Committee met with representatives of Morgan Lewis to discuss the terms of the initial draft of the Merger Agreement. Also at that meeting, the Transaction Committee agreed to retain Duff & Phelps, LLC to provide the Transaction Committee with a fairness opinion with respect to the proposed transaction and to facilitate marketing the Company and soliciting alternative proposals during the “go-shop” period. The Company entered into an engagement letter with Duff & Phelps on November 21, 2011.

On November 21, 2011, Morgan Lewis delivered a revised draft of the Merger Agreement to Thompson Coburn. Among other changes, the revised draft included the addition of a “go-shop” period allowing the Company to conduct a post-signing market check and determine if any other potential acquirers of the Company would be interested in making a bid for the Company.

On November 23, 2011, representatives of Morgan Lewis and Thompson Coburn discussed the draft Merger Agreement at length and circulated a joint memorandum to their respective clients outlining the principal open business and legal issues identified as a result of an extended call that day. The principal open issues included the allocation of risk with respect to any material change in the Company’s balance sheet between signing and closing, the definition of “material adverse effect,” the length of the go-shop period, the size of the termination fee and certain conditions to closing.

On November 26, 2011, the Transaction Committee met with representatives of Morgan Lewis to discuss the joint memorandum highlighting the principal open transactional issues.

On November 27, 2011, representatives of FCI notified the Company’s management that FCI was withdrawing its proposal to acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock based upon FCI’s assessment of the Company’s revised forecast and business outlook and FCI’s belief that the Company’s economic situation had deteriorated, including as a result of the announcement by one of the Company’s largest customers, manroland AG (“manroland”) of an application to institute insolvency proceedings. On November 25, 2011, the last trading day before FCI withdrew its proposal, the closing price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock was $0.51 per share.

As a result of discussions over the next several days between the Company’s management and representatives of FCI, the Company’s management orally received a revised proposal from FCI on November 30, 2011. The revised offer from FCI was based on an enterprise value of the Company of $45 million, and a per share fully-diluted consideration of $0.96 per share of Common Stock. On that date, the closing price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock was $0.48 per share.

On December 1, 2011, the Transaction Committee met with representatives of the Company’s management and Morgan Lewis to discuss the revised proposal from FCI. Members of the Company’s management outlined the revised proposal to the Transaction Committee. The Transaction Committee subsequently discussed the proposal in detail, including negotiation points to raise with FCI and alternative strategic options, including debt or equity financing or acquisition by athird party, for none of which had the Company identified any viable opportunities other than FCI’s proposal, available to the Company.

On December 2, 2011, the Transaction Committee met again to discuss the terms of FCI’s revised proposal, with the committee’s focus being the per share price proposed by FCI. The Transaction Committee also discussed FCI’s request to speak with Bank ofAmerica, as agent for the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, regarding the Credit Agreement. Ultimately, the Transaction Committee agreed to permit FCI to have conversations with Bank of America, including with respect to the terms Bank of America would agree to with respect to the repayment of all amounts owed under the Credit Agreement, particularly in view of the time that likely would be required to complete a transaction.

On December 5, 2011, representatives of FCI and the Company’s management, along with representatives of Morgan Lewis and Thompson Coburn, held a telephonic meeting to discuss FCI’s latest proposal and to address concerns raised by the Transaction Committee, including the reduced per share considerationand the amount of the proposed terminationfees.

On December 8, 2011, the Transaction Committee met with members of the Company’s management and representatives of Morgan Lewis to discuss the results of the December 5, 2011 meeting. The Transaction Committee also discussed the initial discussions between FCI and Bank of America, as well as the initial reaction of Bank of America and the other Lenders to those conversations. The Transaction Committee was informed that the lenders were unwilling to agree to FCI’s request for a reduction in the principal amount due under the Credit Agreement in connection with the repayment of such amounts as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Thompson Coburn provided Morgan Lewis with a revised draft of the Merger Agreement on December 9, 2011.

On December 12, 2011, the Transaction Committee met to discuss the status of negotiations with FCI. The Transaction Committee authorized management of the Company to present a counter-proposal to FCI, including an increase in the merger consideration to reflect an enterprise value of$47,000,000, which the Transaction Committee determined, in the exercise of its business judgment and taking into consideration the previously described insolvency of manroland and discussions with the Company’s lenders, was an appropriate negotiatingcounter-proposal, and the elimination of certain conditions to closing relating to the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement to increase deal certainty. FCI subsequently rejected the Transaction Committee’s proposal to increase the amount of consideration to be paid by FCI for the shares of the Company’s Common Stock, but agreed to make certain changes to enhance deal certainty for the Company, including revisions to the definition of “Material Adverse Effect,” in exchange for the inclusion in the Merger Agreement of a purchase price adjustment mechanism.

On December 13, 2011, management of the Company, in consultation with Morgan Lewis, began a dialogue with the beneficiaries under the Company’s non-qualified deferred income plans, (the “SERPs”), regarding waiver of the Company’s obligation to fund certain amounts under the Rabbi Trust Agreement relating to the SERPs in connection with entry into an agreement which could result in a change in control of the Company.Under the Rabbi Trust Agreement relating to the SERPs, the Company would be required to make substantial cash contributions immediately upon entry into the Merger Agreement. Given the Company’s difficult financial situation, it did not have the resources to do so. Accordingly, the Board did not believe it was advisable to let the funding requirement under the Rabbi Trust Agreement prevent the execution of the Merger Agreement. Discussions with the beneficiaries, including the Company’s Chairman of the Board, Gerald A. Nathe, and certain former officers and directors of the Company, continued through December 19, 2011, on which date each of the beneficiaries agreed to a waiver of the Company’s obligation to make such contributions. Following the completion of the Merger, the Company will continue to have funding obligations under the SERPs. The beneficiaries agreed to waive the Company’s obligation to make such contributions without receipt of any individual consideration in order to facilitate entry into the Merger Agreement, which would result in the Company’s acquisition by a more creditworthy party.

Thompson Coburn and Morgan Lewis had conversations throughout the day on December 14, 2011, resulting in Thompson Coburn providing Morgan Lewis with a revised draft of the Merger Agreement that same day.

On December 16, 2011, the Board of Directors met with representatives of Morgan Lewis and Duff & Phelps to discuss the latest draft of the Merger Agreement, including the introduction of a purchase price adjustment provision in lieu of certain closing conditions previously requested by FCI. The Board of Directors determined that the Company should seek to negotiate removal of the purchase price adjustment and discussed that, in the event that the purchase price adjustmentwasincluded in the Merger Agreement, the Merger Agreement would need a “floor” price to the purchase price adjustment mechanism for purposes of soliciting stockholder approval of the transaction. The Board of Directors also discussed FCI’s request that members of the Board of Directors and certain holders of Class B Common Stock enter into voting agreements pursuant to which they would agree to vote their shares in favor of the Merger. Duff & Phelps reviewed with the Board of Directors its financial analysis of the Company. After discussing with management of the Company the lack of significant interest from the holders of Class B Common Stock in remaining as stockholders following the transaction, the Board of Directors also concluded that the Company should request that the roll-over of the Class B Common Stock be eliminated as a component of the proposed transaction with FCI. FCI agreed to this request.

On December 16, 2011, MorganLewis advised the Company that no antitrust or similar regulatory filings were required in connection with the Merger.

From December 16, 2011 through December 19, 2011, the parties continued to negotiate the terms of the Merger Agreement and other relevant transaction documents, including the equity commitment letter from Barry-Wehmiller, the Voting Agreements, the amendment to the Rabbi Trust Agreementrelating to the Company’s SERP, the proposed amendment to the Credit Agreement and FCI’s requested confirmation from certain keyemployees that they did not intend to terminate their employment prior to the first anniversary of the Merger. With respect to the draft Merger Agreement, although FCI refused to remove the purchase price adjustment mechanism, the parties agreed to include a “floor” price in connection with the purchase price adjustment mechanism that would require the Company to revise this proxy statement and resolicit stockholder approval in the event that the purchase price adjustment calculation were to result in a per share Merger Consideration of less than $0.90 per share.

On December 19, 2011 the Board of Directors met to discuss the status of discussions with FCI and to review the terms of the draft Merger Agreement, as well as the status of the other key transaction documents, including the Voting Agreements and the proposed amendment of the Company’s existing Credit Agreement, that would facilitate the proposed transaction with FCI. The Board of Directors also met with representatives of Bryant Park. Representatives of Bryant Park indicated that they were in discussions with several parties about potential refinancing alternatives. The Board of Directors questioned Bryant Park about the likelihood of consummating any of the potential refinancing alternatives, given the lack of success of previous efforts. After the representatives of Bryant Parkdeparted, members of the Board of Directors expressed doubts about the ability of Bryant Park to arrange for the Company to refinance its indebtedness.

On December 21, 2011, the Board of Directors met to discuss the most recent draft of the Merger Agreement and the status of open deal points. Representatives of Duff & Phelps then joined the meeting to discuss the financial aspects of the proposed merger and its financial analysis of the consideration proposed to be received by holders of the Company’s Common Stock in the transaction, and responded to questions from the Board of Directors. At the conclusion of its presentation, Duff & Phelps orally rendered its opinion to the Board of Directors, subsequently confirmed in writing, that as of such date, and based upon various assumptions, matters considered and the limitations described in the written opinion, the $0.96 per share to be received by holders of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement, subject to potential adjustment as described in the Merger Agreement, was fair from a financial point of view to such holders. See “— Opinion of Duff & Phelps” beginning on page 34. Following a presentation by counsel on the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors, there was a discussion of a number of issues related to the Merger Agreement, the process that management, with the assistance of Duff & Phelps, would undertake during the go-shop period and the positive and negative factors bearing on whether the Merger should be approved.

Over the course of the day on December 22, 2011, the final open points on the Merger Agreement were negotiated and finalized. At a meeting on the morning of December 22, 2011, the Transaction Committee formally accepted the fairness opinion delivered by Duff & Phelps. The Company’s management and representatives of Morgan Lewis also continued to negotiate the terms of a 13th Amendment to the Credit Agreement with the Lenders. On the morning of December 22, 2011, following the meeting of the Transaction Committee, the Board of Directors met with representatives of management and Morgan Lewis to discuss the status of the transaction documents and related deal points. The Transaction Committee then unanimously (i) determined that the Merger was advisable and that the terms of the Merger and the Merger Agreement were fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company’s stockholders and (ii) recommended to the Board of Directors that it (a) recommend that the Company’s stockholders vote in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the Merger and (b) authorize management to execute the Merger Agreement and take all actions necessary or advisable in connection with consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The Board of Directors considered that there may be a limited number of potential buyers of the Company. The Board of Directors considered potential opportunities to seek a superior offer from an alternative acquirer,including the Company’s competitor with whom it had previously engaged in discussions about a potential strategic transaction, but which had ever since failed to respond to the Company’s persistent efforts to engage in further discussionsand any additional acquirers Duff & Phelps might identify during the “go-shop” period, and considered the risk of jeopardizing the Merger with FCI as a result of exploring such alternatives prior to execution of the Merger Agreement. The Board of Directors then unanimously (i) determined that the merger was advisable and that the terms of the Merger and the Merger Agreement were fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company’s stockholders, (ii) recommended that the Company’s stockholders vote in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the Merger and (iii) authorized management to execute the Merger Agreement and take all actions necessary or advisable in connection with consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Later on that same date, FCI and the Company executed the Merger Agreement and the other transaction agreements.

On December 23, 2011, the Company issued a press release announcing its entry into the Merger Agreement. A copy of the press release was included as an exhibit to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on December 28, 2011.

Following the announcement of the Merger on the morning of December 23, 2011, representatives of Duff &Phelps Securities, LLC, an affiliate of Duff &Phelps, identified and began the process of contacting more than 110 potential strategic and financial acquirers. Duff & Phelps Securities, LLC contacted more than 100 of those identified potential acquirers, including more than 75 private equity firms and more than 25 potential U.S. and non-U.S. strategic acquirers, but approximately ten of such identified potential acquirers did not respond to Duff &Phelps Securities, LLC’s efforts to contact them. Only seven of such potential acquirers opted to execute a confidentiality agreement with the Company and were granted access to certain non-public information regarding the Company. In order to provide the Transaction Committee with sufficient time to evaluate potential alternative transaction proposals prior to the expiration of the “go-shop” period, Duff &Phelps Securities, LLC established a deadline of the close of business on January 24, 2012 for the receipt of any such proposals from potential acquirers. No such proposals were received.

On December 29, 2011, a putative class action complaint was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware naming as defendants the Company, each member of the Board of Directors and FCI regarding the proposed acquisition of the Company by FCI. On January 9, 2012, this complaint was served on the Company. On January 10, 2012, a putative class action complaint was filed against the Company, FCI and the individual members of the Company’s Board of Directors in the Circuit Court of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County, Florida challenging the Merger. On January 17, 2012, this complaint was served on the Company. Each complaint purports to be on behalf of a putative class of the stockholders of the Company, other than the defendants and their affiliates.On February 2, 2012, the plaintiffs in the Delaware putative class action lawsuit filed an amended complaint in which they sought, among other things, to require the Company to provide additional disclosures in this proxy statement. On February10, 2012, the plaintiffs in the Florida putative class action lawsuit filed an amended complaint in which they sought, among other things, to require the Company to provide additional disclosures in this proxy statement. Each complaint alleges that the individual members of the Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duty in connection with entering into the Merger Agreement, and that the Company and FCI aided and abetted the alleged breach of fiduciary duty. Each complaint seeks to enjoin the Merger or, in the event the Merger is consummated, to rescind the Merger or to recover an award of rescissory damages, and each suit seeks costs and attorneys’ fees.

On January 4, 2012 and January 19, 2012, the Company filed Current Reports on Form 8-K with the SEC reporting the Delaware and Florida complaints, respectively. The reports also indicated that, while the Company believes that the allegations in the complaints are without merit and it intends to defend such lawsuits vigorously, there can be no assurance regarding the ultimate outcome of such lawsuits.

Reasons for the Merger; Recommendation of Our Board of Directors and Transaction Committee

In determining that the Merger is advisable and fair to and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, the Transaction Committee and the Board of Directors held numerous meetings, consulted with the Company’s management and financial and legal advisors and considered a number of material factors, including the following factors:

Merger Consideration.The Board of Directors believed that, following the Transaction Committee’s extensive negotiations with FCI and its representatives, $0.96 per share was the highest price that FCI would be willing to pay and the highest price reasonably obtainable from any party on the date of signing of the Merger Agreement. The Board of Directors also believed that the Merger Consideration of $0.96 per share, subject to adjustment as described under “— Potential Reduction in the Merger Consideration,” represented an attractive valuation for the Company’s shares of Common Stock, as this price represented a premium of approximately 104% to the closing price of $0.47 per share on December 22, 2011, the last trading day prior to the announcement of the execution of the Merger Agreement, and a premium of approximately 85.3% and 3.6% over the average closing share price of the Class A Common Stock of approximately $0.52 per share and approximately $0.93 per share over the 30 trading days and 90 trading days, respectively, prior to such announcement. The Board of Directors also considered the fact that theMerger Consideration is all cash, which will provide the Company stockholders with certainty of value and the ability to monetize their investment in the Company in the near term and thus avoid considerable long-term business risk.
Historical and Prospective Financial Performance and Condition.The Board of Directors considered the Company’s operations, financial condition, earnings and prospects, including the prospects of the Company continuing as a stand-alone company. The Board of Directors also considered the Company’s ongoing business and strategic objectives and the risks and challenges involved with accomplishing such objectives.In considering the risks faced by and opportunities presented to the Company under its existing business plan, the Board of Directors believed it unlikely that the Company’s business would improve in the near and medium term to achieve a share price of $0.96 or better, and that the Company’s business plan would continue to be subject to considerable long-term risk.
Financial Conditions and Investor Sentiment. The Board of Directors considered current market conditions, historical market prices and volatility in the trading price of the Class A Common Stock. TheBoard of Directors considered certain specific factors that were thought to have a negative impact on the current trading price for the Class A Common Stock, including declining revenues in the traditional printing and publishing industry, which the Company serves, particularly as a result of competition from new technologies and communications providers, the lack of research analyst coverage of the Company and the low volume of trading of the Class A Common Stock. The Company’s efforts to adapt new technologies and respond to these competitive pressures may require substantial capital expenditures and yield uncertain results. The Board of Directors believed it likely that some or all of these factors would continue to weigh on the trading price of the Class A Common Stock in the near and medium term.

Insolvency Proceedings of a Major Customer.On November 25, 2011, manroland, Germany’s third-largest printing machine maker and one of the Company’s largest customers, filed an application to institute insolvency proceedings in the district court in Augsburg, Germany. The Board of Directors considered that manroland may cease operations in connection with such proceedings and, as a result, the Company could lose a major customer. The Board of Directors also considered that the Company will likely lose all or a portion of the$1,200,000 owed by manroland to the Company as the proceedings provide manroland with protection from its creditors. Additionally, the Board of Directors believed that the manroland insolvency proceedings further illustrated the decline of the traditional printing and publishing industry and the future challenges that the Company would face in achieving its business plan.
Credit Agreement Amendment Prevented Potential Dilution to Current Stockholders and Payment Obligations. The Board of Directors considered that, in connection with the Company’s entry into the Merger Agreement, the Lenders under its Credit Agreement were willing to enter into Amendment No. 13, deferring the Company’s obligation to issue warrants to purchase 1,592,067 shares of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share and the Company’s obligation to pay fees totaling $900,000 and interest of $338,378. If the Company had not entered into Amendment No. 13, the Board of Directors believed that the trading price of the Class A Common Stock was likely to be negatively impacted by the dilution caused by the issuance of warrants to the Lenders and by the increased payment obligations under the Credit Agreement.
Uncertain Availability of Future Financing. The Board of Directors also considered that there was substantial uncertainty about the future liquidity of the Company to fund its operations and capital expenditures, as a result of uncertainty about the availability of future sources of financing. The Lenders have indicated to the Company their unwillingness to provide financing to the Company beyond the maturity date of the Credit Agreement on July 2, 2012. Despite actively seeking to identify sources of equity and debt financing, including by engaging Bryant Park to assist in seeking and contacting prospective lenders and investors, the Company has been unable to identifyany sources adequate tosufficiently refinance its indebtedness under the Credit Agreement or otherwise enable the Company to satisfy its liquidity requirements. The Board of Directors believed such uncertainty and potential illiquidity would have a material adverse affect on the Company’s financial performance and weigh on the trading price of the Class A Common Stock.
Ability to Seek and Consider Superior Offers.The Board of Directors considered the potential alternatives available to the Company as of the signing of the Merger Agreement based upon the extended period of time during which the Company had unsuccessfully sought to identify alternative sources of financing or other potential acquirers, the substantial uncertainty about the future liquidity of the Company resulting from its inability to refinance its indebtedness under the Credit Agreement scheduled to mature on July 2, 2012, the impact on the Company’sstockholders of incurring additional fees and issuing warrants under the Credit Agreement which would be triggered in February and March 2012, and the risk that FCI would reduce or withdraw its proposed offer during any pre-signing market check. The Board of Directors concluded that the Merger was the best currently available alternative and that the Transaction Committee’s evaluation of available strategic alternatives to-date and the evaluation of future potential strategic alternatives to be conducted during the “go-shop” period constituted a thorough and complete process. The Board of Directors also considered that the termination fee of $2,000,000 payable in the event that the Merger Agreement is terminated due to the Company entering into an alternative transaction during the “go-shop” period or within 20 days thereafter with an “excluded party” (as defined below) is reasonable for a transaction of this size and type. The Board of Directors believed that the duration and structure of the “go-shop” provisions in the Merger Agreement would encourage third parties who might have an interest in acquiring the Company to make an offer at a higher price. The Board of Directors also considered the Company’s ability following the expiration of the “go-shop” period to respond to any competing proposal that the Board of Directors determines constitutes or is reasonably likely to constitute a superior proposal to FCI’s, subject to certain restrictions contained in the Merger Agreement. The Board of Directors considered that the termination fee of $3,000,000 payable by the Company as a result of entering into such a transaction after expiration of the “go-shop” period with a non-excluded party is reasonable for a transaction of this size and type.

Sale Process; Potential Alternatives. Although the Board of Directors had not yet conducted a market check, the Board of Directors believed that, in view of the “go-shop” period allowing the Company to conduct a post-signing market check, the Transaction Committee had conducted and would conduct a thorough process in connection with negotiating and evaluating the terms and conditions of the Merger and reasonably available alternatives. The Board of Directors believed that the Merger is more favorable to theCompany’s stockholders than the alternatives to the Merger, which belief was formed in part on the Board of Directors’ consideration, with the assistance of the Transaction Committee and the Company’s management and its financial advisor, of potential strategic alternatives available to the Company. The Board of Directors considered that there may be a limited number of potential buyers of the Company. The Board of Directors considered potential opportunities to seek a superior offer from an alternative acquirer, including acquirers identified by Duff & Phelps as the most likely parties other than FCI to consider purchasing the Company, and considered the risk of jeopardizing the Merger with FCI as a result of exploring such alternatives prior to execution of the Merger Agreement.
Opinion of the Company’s Financial Advisor. The Board of Directors considered Duff & Phelps’s opinion to the Transaction Committee, dated as of December 22, 2011, concluding that, based upon and subject to the various assumptions, considerations, qualifications and limitations set forth in the written opinion, the consideration to be received by holders of Common Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement was fair from a financial point of view to such holders. Such opinion is more fully described below under the caption “—Opinion of Duff & Phelps” beginning on page 34.
Likelihood of Closing.The Board of Directors considered the likelihood that the Merger would be consummated based on, among other things, the closing conditions in the Merger Agreement, including the absence of any financing or due diligence-related closing conditions and the likelihood that the Merger will be approved by the Company’s stockholders. The Board of Directors also considered FCI’s financial resources, including an equity commitment from Barry-Wehmiller set forth in a letter dated December 22, 2011, which increased certainty of closing.
Ability of the Board of Directors to Change its Recommendation. The Board of Directors considered that the Board of Directors could change its recommendation in the event that unforeseen circumstances arise which change the Board of Directors’ determination that the Merger Agreement and the Merger are advisable and fair to and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.
Termination Date. The Board of Directors considered that the termination date under the Merger Agreement allows for sufficient time to complete the Merger.
Lack of Antitrust or Other Regulatory Risk. The Board of Directors also considered the absence of any material risk that any governmental authority would prevent or materially delay the Merger under any antitrust law.

The Board of Directors also identified and considered a number of countervailing factors and risks to theCompany and its stockholders relating to the Merger and the Merger Agreement, including the following factors:

No Participation in Future Growth. The Board of Directors considered the fact that, because the Company’s stockholders will be receiving a fixed amount of cash for their stock, they will not be compensated for any increase in value of the Company or FCI either during the pre-closing period or following the closing.
Potential Reduction in the Merger Consideration. The Board of Directors considered that the aggregate Merger Consideration paid to all of the Company’s stockholders is subject to adjustment, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, to the extent that:

the Company’s aggregate cash balances (plus (i) the amount of any expenses paid by the Company in connection with the Merger, (ii) repayment or prepayment of certain amounts under the Company’s debt facilities and (iii) the amount of any 2011 Christmas bonuses paid by Baldwin Germany GmbH (up to the euro equivalent of $400,000)) exceeds (b) the Company’s aged accounts payable (and debt incurred under certain debt facilities since the date of the Merger Agreement) by less than $1,800,000;
the amount of the Company’s expenses paid or incurred in connection with the Merger exceed $1,400,000; and
the Company incurs certain fees to its lenders in connection with the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by that agreement or in connection with any default, financing or refinancing after December 22, 2011.

Several of the items listed above that may result in adjustment of the Merger Consideration are beyond the Company’s control. For example, the Company’s aggregate cash balances and aged accounts payable are subject to fluctuation depending upon customer demand for the Company’s products and services and its customers’ ability to make timely payments, while the amount of expenses incurred in connection with the Merger may vary depending upon the extent of SEC review of this proxy statement and the costs of defending against the putative class action lawsuits filed against the Company in connection with the Merger. In the event that the adjustments would result in the Merger Consideration being less than $0.96 per share but greater than or equal to $0.90 per share, the Company and other involved parties will not be required to and do not intend to resolicit the approval of the Company’s stockholders. Accordingly, you may receive less than $0.96 per share, even though the size of any reduction in the Merger Consideration is not yet known as of the date of the special meeting. In the event that the adjustments would result in the Merger Consideration being less than $0.90 per share, the Company is obligated under the Merger Agreement to adjourn or postpone the special meeting, amend this proxy statement and resolicit the approval of the Company’s stockholders for the Merger at the revised Merger Consideration, adjusted as set forth above, which may be substantially less than $0.90 per share. Such resolicitation would delay approval of the Merger, and any postponement of the special meeting could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business and results of operations, including as a result of any negative impact of a prolonged stockholder approval process on the Company’s relationships with customers, suppliers and employees. If such an adverse effect on the Company’s business and results of operations constitutes a “Material Adverse Effect” under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Forsyth Parties would not be obligated to complete the Merger.

Outcome of “Go-Shop” Process. The Board of Directors considered the possibility that the “go-shop” process may not result in a higher offer to stockholders, and the possibility that provisions in the Merger Agreement, including the $2,000,000 termination fee payable to FCI if the Merger Agreement were terminated pursuant to the “go-shop” process, could have the effect of discouraging competing third party proposals.
Expansive Closing Condition Requiring Compliance with Certain Agreements. The Board of Directors considered the possibility that the Company would be unable to satisfy the conditions to the Forsyth Parties’ obligation to complete the Merger, including the requirements that the Company not have breached certain financial covenants in the Credit Agreement, and the possible adverse consequences of such failure to complete the Merger discussed below. The Company’s ability to comply with the financial covenants in the Credit Agreement may depend upon factors beyond the Company’s control, including the Company’s EBITDA and net sales, which may decrease if there is insufficient customer demand for the Company’s products and services, a decline in general economic conditions or other trends negatively impact the printing and publishing industry.
Potential Inability to Complete the Merger.The Board of Directors considered the possibility that the Merger may not be completed and the potential adverse consequences to the Company if the Merger is announced but not completed, including the potential loss of key members of management, customers, suppliers and employees, and the potential erosion of customer, supplier and employee confidence in the Company.
Costs; Disruption to the Business. The Board of Directors considered the costs involved in connection with entering into and completing the Merger as well as the risk of diverting management’s focus and resources from other strategic opportunities and from operational matters while working to implement the Merger, and the possibility of other management and employee disruption associated with the Merger.
Interim Operating Covenants.The Board of Directors considered the limitations imposed in the Merger Agreement on the conduct of the Company’s business during the pre-closing period, which could delay or prevent the Company from undertaking business opportunities that may arise pending completion of the Merger.
Forsyth Parties’ Conditions and Termination. The Board of Directors considered the conditions to the Forsyth Parties’ obligation to complete the Merger as well as the right of the Forsyth Parties to terminate the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances. The Board of Directors also considered the $2,000,000 or $3,000,000 termination fee payable to FCI if the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, which could have the effect of discouraging competing third party proposals.

12-month Tail on Termination Fee. The Board of Directors considered the fact that a termination fee would be payable to FCI if the Company consummates or enters into definitive documentation relating to a business combination transaction in which more than 50% of the Company is acquired by any person within 12 months of FCI or the Company terminating the Merger Agreement on or after the End Date or at any point in time following the Company’s stockholders failing to adopt the Merger Agreement.
Non-Solicitation Following “Go-Shop” Period. The Board of Directors considered restrictions on the Company’s ability to solicit or engage in discussions or negotiations regarding alternative business combination transactions, subject to specified exceptions, following expiration of the “go-shop” period as well as restrictions on the Board of Directors’ ability to change or withdraw its recommendation of the Merger, except in response to unforeseen circumstances.
Taxability. The Board of Directors considered that the Merger will be a taxable transaction to the Company’s stockholders.
Interests of the Company’s Directors and Executive Officers. The Board of Directors considered the potential conflicts of interest of the Company’s directors and executive officers, including continued indemnification and liability insurance following completion of the Merger, severance payments to certain of the Company’s executive officers if their employment is terminated after completion of the Merger and accelerated vesting of options to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock and Company Stock Awards and termination of restrictions on restricted stock awards held by the Company’s directors and executive officers. See “—Interest of the Company’s Executive Officers and Directors in the Merger.”

The foregoing discussion of the information and factors considered by the Board of Directors is not intended to be exhaustive but includes the material factors considered by the Board of Directors. In light of the complexity and wide variety of factors considered, the Board of Directors did not find it useful to and did not attempt to quantify, rank or otherwise assign relative weights to these factors. In addition, the Board of Directors did not undertake to make any specific determination as to whether any particular factor, or any aspect of any particular factor, was favorable or unfavorable to its ultimate determination, but rather the Board of Directors conducted an overall analysis of the factors described above, including discussions with the Company’s management and its financial and legal advisors. In considering the factors described above, individual members of the Board of Directors may have given different weights to different factors.

Board of Directors Recommendation

After careful consideration, both the Transaction Committee and our Board of Directors have unanimously determined that the Merger is advisable and fair to and in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders. Accordingly, our Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement.

Financial Projections

We do not make public projections as to future performance or earnings beyond the current quarter and current fiscal year due to the inherent unpredictability of the underlying assumptions and estimates. However, in connection with the evaluation by the Board of Directors of our long-term financial prospects and consideration of strategic alternatives available to the Company, the Board of Directors considered internal projections prepared by management. These projections were provided to Duff & Phelps for their use in connection with its financial analysis of the Merger, as described below in “—Opinion of Duff & Phelps.” These projections consisted of financial forecasts for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 and included adjustments for the elimination of the compliance costs of being a publicly-traded company after consummation of the Merger. The Company projections were based on numerous assumptions made by our management, including (1) a 3.4% Compound Annual Growth Rate (“CAGR”) on revenues driven primarily by retrofit opportunities and consumables, partially offset by lower equipment sales with traditional original equipment manufacturers, (2) slight improvement in gross profit margin driven primarily by higher volume and cost improvements, partially offset by continued competitive cost pressures expected in the marketplace and (3) slight improvement in operating expenses as a percentage of sales driven primarily by higher volume leveraging fixed costs, partially offset by cost of living/inflation adjustments and higher management incentive plan levels.

The financial forecasts forthe 2012 through 2015 fiscal years included in the Company projectionsare summarized as follows:

EBIT, EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures that are used by our management as supplemental financial measurements to evaluate our operational trends and should not be considered as alternatives to gross profit or net income as indicators of our operating performance. EBIT, EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA are not defined under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Accordingly, they have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations, as determined in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable measurements to those used by other companies.

The Company projections above are included in this proxy statement to provide our stockholders certain non-public information considered by our Board of Directors in connection with its evaluation of the Merger and provided to Duff & Phelps in connection with its opinion to our Board of Directors, as more fully described below in “—Opinion ofDuff & Phelps.”

The financial projections stated above were prepared for internal use in connection with the Merger and not with a view toward public disclosure or toward complying with GAAP, the published guidelines of the SEC regarding forecasts or projections or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of prospective financial information. The Company projections included in this proxy statement were prepared by, and are the responsibility of, management. We do not assume any responsibility to update these projections.

As a result, there can be no assurance that the projected results will be realized or that actual results will not be significantly higher or lower than such projections. Accordingly, readers of this proxy statement are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the financial projections.

Opinion of Duff & Phelps

On November 21, 2011, Duff & Phelps was engaged to provide an opinion to the Transaction Committee as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the holders of the Common Stock, of the consideration to be received in the Merger.

Duff & Phelps rendered its oral opinion to the Transaction Committee on December 21, 2011 and its written opinion to the Transaction Committee on December 22, 2011, that, subject to the assumptions, qualifications and limiting conditions set forth therein, as of such date, the consideration to be received by the holders of the Common Stock in the Merger was fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of the Common Stock. The full text of the written opinion of Duff & Phelps is attached asAppendix B to this proxy statement and is incorporated herein by reference.

The full text of the written opinion should be read carefully in its entirety for a description of the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and qualifications and limitations of the review undertaken in rendering the opinion. The opinion of Duff & Phelps was addressed to the Transaction Committee, was given solely with respect to the Merger and is not intended to, and does not, confer any rights or remedies upon any other person, and is not intended to be used, and may not be used, for any other purpose.

At the time it rendered its opinion, Duff & Phelps had not (i) initiated any discussions with, or solicited any indications of interest from, third parties with respect to the Merger, the assets, businesses or operations of the Company, or any alternatives to the Merger, (ii) negotiated the terms of the Merger, and therefore, Duff & Phelps has assumed that such terms are the most beneficial terms, from the Company’s perspective, that could, under the circumstances, be negotiated among the parties to the Merger Agreement and the Merger, or (iii) advised the Transaction Committee or any other party with respect to alternatives to the Merger. As set forth below, an affiliate of Duff & Phelps has been engaged by the Company to solicit alternative proposals during the “go-shop” period, as provided in the Merger Agreement.

Duff & Phelps’s opinion: (i) does not address the merits of the underlying business decision to enter into theMerger Agreement versus any alternative strategy or transaction; (ii) does not address any transaction related to the Merger; (iii) is not a recommendation as to how the Transaction Committee, the Board of Directors or any stockholder should vote or act with respect to any matters relating to the Merger, or whether to proceed with the Merger or any related transaction; and (iv) does not indicate that the consideration received is the best possibly attainable under any circumstances; instead, it merely states whether the consideration in the Merger is within a range suggested by certain financial analyses.

In rendering its opinion, Duff & Phelps did not express any opinion with respect to the fairness of the Merger to, or any consideration received in connection therewith by, the holders of any other securities, creditors or other constituencies of the Company or the amount or nature of any compensation to be received by any of the Company’s officers, directors, or employees, or any class of such persons, relative to the consideration to be received by the publicstockholders of the Company in the Merger, or with respect to the fairness of any such compensation.

In connection with its opinion, Duff & Phelps made such reviews, analyses and inquiries as it deemed necessary and appropriate under the circumstances. Duff & Phelps also took into account its assessment of general economic, market and financial conditions, as well as its experience in securities and business valuation, in general, and with respect to similar transactions, in particular. Duff & Phelps’s procedures, investigations, and financial analysis with respect to the preparation of its opinion included, but were not limited to, the items summarized below:

1. A review of the following documents:

a. The Company’s annual reports and audited financial statements onthe Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the years ended June 30, 2009 through June 30, 2011 and the Company’s unaudited interim financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2011 included in the Company’sQuarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC for the period then ended;

b. Unaudited internal segment and financial information for the Company for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 throughJune 30, 2011 and the five months ended November 30, 2011, including pro forma financial information adjusted to exclude the discontinued operations of its food blends business sold on June 3, 2011;

c. Other internal and external documents relating to the history, current operations and capital structure, and probable future outlook of the Company, including certain non-public financial projections described in “— Financial Projections,” the fiscal year 2012 cash flow forecast, and materials prepared for a potential recapitalization of the Companyprovided by management of the Company; and

d. Documents related to the Merger, including the Merger Agreement datedas of December 22, 2011;

2. A discussion of the information referred to above and the background and other elements of the Merger with the management of the Company;

3. A review of the historical trading prices and trading volume of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, and the publicly traded securities of certain other companies that Duff & Phelps deemed relevant;

4. The performance of certain valuation and comparative analyses using generally accepted valuation and analytical techniques including a discounted cash flow analysis, an analysis of selected public companies that Duff & Phelps deemed relevant, and an analysis of the financial terms, to the extent publicly available, of selected transactions that Duff & Phelps deemed relevant; and

5. Such other financial analyses and consideration of such other information and factors as Duff & Phelps deemed appropriate.

In performing its analyses and rendering its opinion with respect to the Merger, Duff & Phelps, with the Company’s consent:

1. Relied upon the accuracy, completeness, and fair presentation of all information, data, advice, opinions and representations obtained from public sources or provided to it from private sources, including Company management, and did not independently verify such information;

2. Relied upon the fact that the Transaction Committee and the Company have been advised bytheir legal, tax and regulatory advisors as to all legal, tax and regulatory matters with respect to the Merger, including whether all procedures required by law to be taken in connection with the Merger have been duly, validly and timely taken;

3. Assumed that any estimates, evaluations, forecasts and projections furnished to Duff & Phelps were reasonably prepared and based upon the best currently available information and good faith judgment of the person furnishing the same; and Duff & Phelps expressed no view as to any such information or the assumptions on which such estimates, evaluations, forecasts and projections are based;

4. Assumed that information supplied and representations made by Company management regarding the Company and the Merger are substantially accurate in all respects material to Duff & Phelps’s analysis;

5. Assumed that the final versions of the Merger Agreement and all related documents reviewed by Duff &Phelps in draft form conform in all material respects to the drafts reviewed by Duff & Phelps;

6. Assumed that there has been no material change in the assets, financial condition, business, or prospects of the Company since the date of the most recent financial statements and other information made available to Duff & Phelps;

7. Assumed that all of the conditions required to implement the Merger will be satisfied and that the Merger will be completed in accordance with the Merger Agreement without any material amendments thereto or any material waivers or delays of any terms or conditions thereof; and

8. Assumed that all governmental, regulatory or other consents and approvals necessary for the consummation of the Merger will be obtained without any adverse effect on the Company or the consummation of the Merger.

To the extent that any of the foregoing assumptions or any of the facts on which its opinion are based prove to be untrue in any material respect, Duff & Phelps’s opinion cannot and should not be relied upon. In its analysis and in connection with the preparation of its opinion, Duff & Phelps has made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, market and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of any party involved in the Merger.

Duff & Phelps did not evaluate the Company’s solvency or conduct an independent appraisal or physical inspection of any specific assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise). Its opinion should not be construed as a valuation opinion, credit rating, solvency opinion, an analysis of the Company’s creditworthiness, as tax advice, or as accounting advice. Duff & Phelps has not made, and assumes no responsibility to make, any representation, or render any opinion, as to any legal, tax or accounting matter.

Duff & Phelps prepared its opinion effective as of the date thereof. Its opinion is necessarily based upon the information made available to it as of the date thereof and upon market, economic, financial and other conditions as they existed and could be evaluated as of the date thereof, and Duff & Phelps disclaims any undertaking or obligation to advise any person of any change in any fact or matter affecting its opinion which may come or be brought to the attention of Duff & Phelps after the date thereof.

This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the opinion, attached hereto asAppendix B. While this summary describes the analysis and factors that Duff & Phelps deemed material in its presentation to the Transaction Committee, it is not a comprehensive description of all analyses and factors considered by Duff & Phelps. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process that involves various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of these methods to the particular circumstances. Therefore, a fairness opinion is not readily susceptible to partial analysis or a summary description. In arriving at its opinion, Duff & Phelps did not attribute any particular weight to any analysis or factor considered by it, but rather made qualitative judgments as to the significance and relevance of each analysis and factor. Accordingly, Duff & Phelps believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses and of the factors considered by it, without considering all analyses and factors, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the evaluation process underlying its opinion. The conclusion reached by Duff & Phelps was based on all analyses and factors taken as a whole, and also on the application of Duff & Phelps’s own experience and judgment.

Summary of Financial Analyses by Duff & Phelps

Set forth below is a summary of the material financial analyses performed by Duff & Phelps in connection with providing its opinion to the Transaction Committee. Certain financial analyses summarized below include information presented in tabular format. In order to fully understand the financial analyses used by Duff & Phelps, the tables must be read together with the text of each summary, as the tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses. Rather, the analyses listed in the tables and described below must be considered as a whole; considering any portion of such analyses and of the factors considered, without considering all analyses and factors, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the process underlying Duff & Phelps’s opinion.

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis

Duff & Phelps performed a discounted cash flow analysis of the projected free cash flows of the Company, with “free cash flow” defined as cash that is available either to reinvest or to distribute to security holders. The discounted cash flow analysis determined the net present value of future free cash flows utilizing a weighted average cost of capital for the discount rate. The projected free cash flows were based on financial projections provided by Company management for fiscal years 2012 through 2015 which are disclosed above under the heading “—Financial Projections.” The Company management’s projections of Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA each contain adjustments from EBIT and EBITDA to exclude the costs associated with the Company being a publicly listed company. Duff & Phelps also excluded these costs associated with the Company being a publicly listed company from its analysis of the Company management’s financial projections because most potential acquirers of the Company would have the ability to eliminate virtually all of these costs.In its discounted cash flow analysis, Duff & Phelps excluded the net periodic pension benefit expense from its projected EBITDA because it deducted the entire after-tax liability of the Company’s pensions in the calculation of the Company’s equity value. Duff & Phelps also excluded from projected EBITDA the Company’s rent expense for its former headquarters in Shelton,Connecticutbecause Duff & Phelps included a deduction for the present value of the future rent expense for such facility in its calculation of the Company’s equity value.

Duff & Phelps estimated the value of all cash flows after fiscal 2015 (the “terminal value”) of the Company by applying a multiple ranging from 3.0x to 3.5x to projected 2015 EBITDA, calculated as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, excluding public company costs and non-operating expenses, as estimated by management of the Company. The terminal value multiple range was selected based on, among other factors, the comparison of the Company’s financial performance with the financial performance of the selected public companies. Duff & Phelps believes that the levels of such multiples are supported by trading multiples of publicly traded companies and implied valuation multiples in merger and acquisition transactions that it selected for purposes of its analysis.Based upon its analysis of such multiples for the group of public companies listed under “— Selected Public Company Analysis” below, Duff & Phelps assumed a 13.5% to 15.5% weighted average cost of capital to discount the projected free cash flows and terminal value. Duff & Phelps estimated a required rate of return for the Company’s equity ranging from 17.3% to 18.6% using the capital asset pricing model. Duff & Phelps assumed an after-tax rate of return on debt ranging from 4.2% to 4.7%. The resulting discount rate range of 13.5% to 15.5% was based on a range of capital structures ranging from 30% to 20%of debt-to-total capital. Duff & Phelps believes that the discount rate is equivalent to the rate of return that security holders could expect to realize on alternative investment opportunities with similar risk profiles.

As a result of these assumptions, Duff & Phelps’s discounted cash flow analysis indicated an estimated enterprise value for the Company of $33.0 million to $38.0 million.

Selected Public Company Analysis

As summarized below, Duff & Phelps compared certain financial information of the Company to corresponding data and ratios from similar print and paper equipment companies. For purposes of its analysis, Duff & Phelps used certain publicly available historical financial data and consensus equity analyst estimates for the selected publicly traded companies. This analysis resulted in valuation multiples of selected financial metrics which Duff & Phelps utilized to estimate the enterprise value of the Company. The nine companies included in the selected public company analysis were:

Agfa-Gevaert N.V.
Albany International Corp.
Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG
Kadant Inc.
Koenig & Bauer AG
Manugraph India Ltd
Presstek Inc.
Technotrans AG
Xerium Technologies Inc.

Duff & Phelps selected these companies for its selected public company analysis based on its familiarity with companies in the print and paper equipment industry and their relative similarity, primarily in terms of business model, to that of the Company.

The table below reflects the observed trading multiples and the historical and projected financial performance, on an aggregate basis, of the peer group.

	REVENUE GROWTH						EBITDA GROWTH									EBITDA MARGIN						ENTERPRISE VALUE AS MULTIPLE OF

Duff & Phelps used the data above to reach certain valuation conclusions described below.

The companies utilized for comparative purposes in Duff & Phelps’s analysis were not identical to the Company. As a result, a complete valuation analysis cannot be limited to a quantitative review of the selected public companies, but also requires complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of such companies, as well as other factors that could affect their value relative to that of the Company.

Selected Merger & Acquisition Transactions Analysis

Duff & Phelps compared the Company to target companies involved in merger and acquisition transactions. Duff & Phelps selected 14 precedent transactions with announcement dates ranging from March 2008 to July 2011 for purposes of its analysis, as shown in the table below. The selected merger and acquisition transactions indicated enterprise value to LTM revenue multiples ranging from 0.18x to 2.48x with a median of 1.48x. Enterprise value to LTM EBITDA multiples ranged from 5.5x to 19.1x with a median of 11.0x.

Summary of Selected Public Company / Merger & Acquisition Transaction Analyses

In order to estimate a range of enterprise values for the Company, Duff & Phelps selected and applied valuation multiples of NTM adjusted EBITDA and LTM net sales based on the historical and projected financial performance of the Company as compared to the selected public companies. Due to a lack of comparability and lack of financial data in the selected merger and acquisition transaction analysis, Duff & Phelps relied less on this approach. The selected NTM adjusted EBITDA multiples ranged from 3.5x to 4.5x, and selected LTM net sales valuation multiples ranged from 0.18x to 0.22x. As a result of these selected valuation multiples, the selected public company/ merger and acquisition transaction analyses indicated an estimated enterprise value for the Company of $28.0 million to $35.0 million.

Conclusion

Based on the discounted cash flow analysis and the selected public company/merger and acquisition transaction analyses, Duff & Phelps concluded an enterprise value range for the Company of $30.5 million to $36.5 million. The table below sets forth the implied multiples obtained by dividing the high and low ends of the concluded enterprise value range by certain financial performance metrics of the Company.

		Low		High
Enterprise Value		$30,500	-	$36,500

Adjusting the enterprise value by adding cash and non-operating assets (including marketable securities and the value of the Company’s NOL tax benefit and other tax benefits), and deducting debt, non-operating liabilities (including after-tax pension liabilities and the present value of restructuring expenses) and the value of outstanding warrants and management options, Duff & Phelps estimated a range of common stock value for the Company, on a per share basis, of $0.68 to $1.04, which compares to the Merger Consideration of $0.96 per share.

Summary of Premiums Paid Analysis

Duff & Phelps analyzed the premium over the public market trading price paid by an acquirer in change of control merger and acquisition transactions. The subset of transactions analyzed by Duff & Phelps included merger and acquisition transactions with announcement dates ranging from April 2009 to December 2011 involving target companies in the industrial machinery industry. The median premiums, stated as a percent above the stock price one-day, one-week, and one-month prior to the announcement of the transaction were 41%, 42%, and 38%, respectively. Duff & Phelps noted that the Merger implies a 104% premium above the Company’s Class A Common Stock closing price of $0.47 per share on December 22, 2011.

Miscellaneous

The Transaction Committee selected Duff & Phelps based on its experience as a leading global independent provider of financial advisory and investment banking services and its independence from the Company. Duff & Phelps delivers advice principally in the areas of mergers and acquisitions, valuation, financial restructuring, dispute and taxation. Duff & Phelps is regularly engaged in the valuation of businesses and securities in the preparation of fairness opinions in connection with mergers, acquisitions and other strategic transactions. Since 2005, Duff & Phelps has rendered over 308 fairness opinions in transactions aggregating over $103 billion. Duff & Phelps has also rendered over 222 solvency opinions in transactions aggregating over $1.02 trillion. Other than the financial reporting valuation services described below, the Company did not have any relationships with Duff & Phelps prior to the selection of Duff & Phelps by the Transaction Committee.

Fees and Expenses

As compensation for its services in connection with the Merger, the Company agreed to pay Duff & Phelps $125,000 as follows: $62,500 in cash upon execution of the engagement letter to serve as financial advisor to the Transaction Committee in its review of the Merger; and the remaining $62,500 in cash upon Duff & Phelps’s informing the Transaction Committee that it was prepared to deliver its opinion. No portion of Duff & Phelps’s fee is contingent upon either the conclusion expressed in the opinion or whether the Merger is successfully consummated. Furthermore, Duff & Phelps is entitled to be paid additional fees at Duff & Phelps’s standard hourly rates for any time incurred should Duff & Phelps be called upon to support its findings subsequent to the delivery of the fairness opinion. The Company has also agreed to reimburse Duff & Phelps for its out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, consultants, and advisors retained by Duff & Phelps, incurred in connection with the engagement; provided, that such out-of-pocket expenses and fees and expenses of counsel, consultants, and advisors shall not exceed $35,000 in the aggregate without the Company’s prior written consent. The Company has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless Duff & Phelps and its affiliates and any other person, director, employee or agent of Duff & Phelps or any of its affiliates, or any person controlling Duff & Phelps or its affiliates, for certain losses, claims, damages, expenses and liabilities relating to or arising out of services provided by Duff & Phelps as financial advisor to the Transaction Committee. The terms of the fee arrangement with Duff & Phelps, which the Company and Duff & Phelps believe are customary in transactions of this nature, were negotiated at arm’s length between the Company and Duff & Phelps, and the Transaction Committee is aware of these fee arrangements.

An affiliate of Duff & Phelps was engaged to provide investment banking services in connection with a solicitation of investors for a superior proposal pursuant to the “go-shop” provisions of the Merger Agreement, for which such affiliate of Duff & Phelps will receive an additional fee, a substantial portion of which is contingent on the consummation of a superior proposal. We will pay such affiliate of Duff & Phelps a fee for such services equal to the sum of $125,000 plus 7% of the excess of the total consideration paid to the Company in an alternative transaction over the total consideration paid to the Company and its stockholders in connection with the Merger, including, in each case, the assumption of indebtedness. Other than this engagement and financial reporting valuation services performed for the Company for which Duff & Phelps received customary fees, expense reimbursement, and indemnification, during the two years preceding the date of the Opinion, Duff & Phelps had not had any material relationship with any party to the Merger for which compensation has been received or is intended to be received, nor is any such material relationship or related compensation mutually understood to be contemplated.

Financing

The Merger Agreement does not contain any financing-related closing condition. Baldwin and FCI estimate that the total amount of funds necessary to pay the Total Merger Consideration is approximately$16,400,000 and that approximately $20,000,000 will be required to repay the Company’s outstanding indebtedness at the effective time of the Merger. FCI has represented in the Merger Agreement that it will have sufficient funds to pay the aggregate Total Merger Consideration and otherwise satisfy its obligations under the Merger Agreement, including the repayment of such indebtedness. FCI has also represented that it has received an equity commitment from Barry-Wehmiller set forth in a letter dated December 22, 2011, the proceeds of which will be available, if necessary, to fund its obligations under the Merger Agreement.

Certain Effects of the Merger

Conversion of Outstanding Common Stock and Cancellation of Stock Options and Warrants and Company Stock Awards

If the Merger Agreement is adopted by our stockholders and the other conditions to the completion of the Merger are either satisfied or waived, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger. Upon the completion of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of our Common Stock, other than shares held by the Company, FCI, Merger Sub or any of their respective subsidiaries and shares held by stockholders of the Company who validly perfect their rights to appraisal under Delaware law, will be converted into the right to receive the per share Merger Consideration. If all outstanding shares of Common Stock are converted, the Total Merger Consideration expected to be paid is approximately $16,400,000, including approximately $1,250,000 paid in respect of Company Stock Awards, options and warrants, subject to adjustment as described in this proxy statement.

The Merger Agreement provides that:

each restricted stock unit award and other right, contingent or accrued, to acquire or receive shares of Common Stock or benefits measured by the value of such shares, and each award of any kind consisting of shares of Common Stock that may be held, awarded, outstanding, payable or reserved for issuance under the Company’s 1996 Stock Option Plan, the 1998 Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan, or the 2005 Equity Compensation Plan or award agreements entered into pursuant thereto, other than options (each, a “Company Stock Award”) outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, whether or not then vested or exercisable, will be cancelled and converted into a right to receive $0.96 per share in cash, subject to adjustment as described in this proxy statement, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the effective time of the Merger; and
each option or warrant to acquire shares of Common Stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, whether or not then vested or exercisable, will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the effective time of the Merger, an amount in cash per share, without interest, equal to $0.96, subject to adjustment as described in this proxy statement, less the per share exercise price of such option or warrant, less any applicable withholding taxes.

The total amount expected to be paid in respect of Company Stock Awards, options and warrants is approximately $1,250,000, subject to adjustment as described in this proxy statement.

Effect on Listing; Registration and Status of the Company’s Common Stock

Our Class A Common Stock is registered as a class of equity securities under the Exchange Act and is listed on the NYSE Amex under the symbol “BLD.” As a result of the Merger, the Company will become a privately-held company, with no public market for its Common Stock. After the Merger, our Class A Common Stock will cease to be traded on the NYSE Amex, and price quotations with respect to sales of shares of our Class A Common Stock will no longer be available. In addition, registration of our Class A Common Stock under the Exchange Act will be terminated. This termination and the delisting of the Company’s Common Stock from the NYSE Amex will make certain provisions of the Exchange Act inapplicable to the Company as a stand-alone company, such as:

the short-swing recovery provisions of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act and the requirement to furnish a proxy or an information statement in connection with a stockholders’ meeting; and
the liability provisions of the Exchange Act and the corporate governance requirements under NYSE Amex rules and regulations and under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (such as the requirement that certain executive officers of the Company certify the accuracy of the Company’s financial statements and that annual reports contain management’s report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls).

In addition, the Company will no longer be required to file periodic reports with the SEC after the effective time of the Merger.

Interests of the Company’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger

In considering the unanimous recommendation of our Board of Directors, you should be aware that our directors and executive officers have interests in the transaction that are different from, and in addition to, the interests of our stockholders generally and that may present a potential conflict of interest. Our Board of Directors was aware of these interests and considered that these interests may be different from, and in addition to, the interests of our stockholders generally, among other matters, in approving the Merger Agreement and the Merger, and in determining to recommend that our stockholders vote for adoption of the Merger Agreement. These interests include continued indemnification and liability insurance for our directors and officers following completion of the Merger and the interests described below.

Share Ownership

As of the close of business onFebruary 13, 2012, the record date for the special meeting, our directors and executive officers beneficiallyowned in the aggregate,1,727,900 shares of our Class A Common Stock, and225,044 shares of our Class B Common Stock, representing approximately10.61% of our outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and20.60% of our outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, respectively. Holders of shares of Class A Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share and holders of shares of Class B Common Stock are entitled to ten votes per share. As a result, the shares our directors and executive officers were entitled to vote as of the record date constituted approximately11.72% of the voting power of the shares of Common Stock entitled to vote on the adoption of the Merger Agreement. FCI entered into Voting Agreements, dated as of December 22, 2011, with each of our directors and Akira Hara, a stockholder and former director and executive officer of the Company (the “Voting Agreements”). The shares owned as of the record date by our stockholders that are parties to the Voting Agreements constituted approximately29.20% of the voting power of the shares of Common Stock entitled to vote on the adoption of the Merger Agreement. Under the terms of the Voting Agreements, the stockholders parties to the Voting Agreements agreed to vote all of their shares of Common Stock“FOR”the adoption of the Merger Agreement. Additional details of the voting interests of our directors and executive officers are described under “Security Ownership of Management and Certain Beneficial Owners” beginning on page 67.

Accelerated Vesting of Stock Options and Company Stock Awards

As described above under “—Certain Effects of the Merger—Conversion of Outstanding Common Stock and Cancellation of Stock Options and Company Stock Awards,” each option to acquire shares of Common Stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, whether or not then vested or exercisable, will be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, net of the exercise price of such option. The accelerated vesting of such options may provide our directors and executive officers with an interest in the Merger that is different from, and in addition to, that of our stockholders generally. The following table provides information, for each of the directors and executive officers of the Company, regarding the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock underlying outstanding vested and unvested options as ofFebruary 13, 2012, the exercise price of such options and the value of the vested and unvested options.

Payments and Benefits Under Employment Agreements

Consummation of the Merger will constitute a change of control under employment agreements between the Company and Mark T. Becker, its President and Chief Executive Officer, and Ivan R. Habibe, its Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Vice President of Global Administrative Services, and such agreements provide certain severance benefits if the executive is terminated following such event.

Mark T. Becker. Effective November 19, 2011, the Company entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Mr. Becker. Under Mr. Becker’s employment agreement, Mr. Becker is entitled to, among other things, a cash bonus, which, for fiscal year 2012, is set at a target levelof 140% of his base salary for such fiscal year, with a maximum potential bonusof 200% of his base salary for such fiscal year. If a change of control does not occur on or before June 30, 2012, Mr. Becker’s bonus for fiscal year 2012 shall be based on the satisfaction of certain criteria set forth in his employment agreement, and such bonus payment shall be paid in accordance with the recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and as approved by theindependent directors and by the Board of Directors. If, however, a change of control occurs on or before June 30, 2012, Mr. Becker’s bonus for fiscal year 2012 shall be an amount equal to his base salary for fiscal year 2012 ($300,000) times a fraction the numerator of which will be the number of days during the fiscal year from July 1, 2011 to the date of the change of control and the denominator of which will be 366, but in no event more than $200,000, but only if he is employed by the Company at the time such change of control occurs. If Mr. Becker is entitled to receive a bonus for fiscal year 2012, the Company shall pay such bonus to him at the time such change of control occurs.

If Mr. Becker’s employment is terminated (i) by the Company without cause or (ii) by Mr. Becker (A) for good reason or (B) within three months following a change of control for any reason or no reason or (iii) due to his death or permanent disability or incapacity, Mr. Becker or his estate, as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive: (1) a deferred salary amount equal to his annual base salary (as in effect on his termination date), of which, 7/12th of such amount will be payable on the first regular payroll date of the Company more than six months after his termination date and the balance thereof will be payable in ten equal bi-monthly installments on each regular bimonthly payroll date thereafter; (2) so long as Mr. Becker has not breached certain restrictive covenants in his employment agreement, the pro rata share (based on the number of days Mr. Becker was employed for the fiscal year in which the termination date occurs) of the bonus to which he would have been entitled for such fiscal year had such termination not occurred; (3) reimbursement of all expenses incurred on or prior to his termination date for which he is entitled to but has not been reimbursed as of the termination date; (4) all fringe benefits which he was entitled to receive on or prior to his termination date but which had not been paid; and (5) payment for any vacation days accumulated by Mr. Becker on his termination date.

Upon the termination of Mr. Becker’s employment under any of the circumstances described above, the Company shall also reimburse Mr. Becker for 80% of any premiums paid by him for medical benefits for the period he is entitled to COBRA continuation coverage under Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or if earlier the first to occur of (1) the date one year after his termination date and (2) the date on which he is employed by an employer other than the Company.

Under the terms of the employment agreement, if the Company obtains a written opinion of its tax counsel to the effect that there exists a material possibility that any payment to which Mr. Becker would be entitled under his employment agreement would be treated as an “excess parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G(b) of the Code), his agreement shall be amended by reducing the payments to which Mr. Becker is entitled, to the extent necessary so that, in the opinion of the Company’s tax counsel, there does not exist a material possibility that any payment under his employment agreement (as so amended) will be treated as an excess parachute payment.

Ivan R. Habibe.Effective April 4, 2011, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Habibe.

Under Mr. Habibe’s employment agreement, if Mr. Habibe’s employment is terminated (i) by the Company without cause or (ii) by Mr. Habibe giving, for any reason or no reason, within three months following a change of control, not less than 30 days’ prior notice of termination, or (iii) due to his death or permanent disability or incapacity, Mr. Habibe or his estate, as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive: (1) his base salary through his termination date; (2) a deferred salary amount equal to (A) if Mr. Habibe’s termination is initiated by him giving, for any reason or no reason, within three months following a change of control, not less than 30 days’ prior notice of termination, 50% of his annual base salary (as in effect on his termination date), or (B) if Mr.Habibe’s termination is initiated by the Company without cause and is a direct result of a change of control, 100% of his annual base salary (as in effect on his termination date), and such applicable amount shall be paid in regular installments at the same rate at which he was being paid his base salary on his termination date in accordance with the Company’s general payroll practices, beginning with the first payroll date on or after the date that is six months and one day after the termination date; (3) so long as Mr. Habibe has not breached certain restrictive covenants in his employment agreement, the pro rata share (based on the number of days Mr. Habibe was employed for the fiscal year in which the termination date occurs) of the bonus to which he would have been entitled for such fiscal year had such termination not occurred; (4) reimbursement of all expenses incurred on or prior to his termination date for which he is entitled to but has not been reimbursed as of the termination date; (5) all fringe benefits which he was entitled to receive on or prior to his termination date but which had not been paid; and (6) payment for any vacation days accrued but not used by Mr. Habibe on his termination date.

Upon the termination of Mr. Habibe’s employment under any of the circumstances described above, the Company shall also reimburse Mr. Habibe for 80% of any premiums paid by him for medical benefits for the period he is entitled to COBRA continuation coverage under Section 4980B of the Code or if earlier the first to occur of (1) six months after the termination date if his employment period is terminated (i) by the Company without cause and no change of control has occurred, or (ii) by Mr. Habibe giving, for any reason or no reason, within three months following a change of control, not less than 30days’ prior notice of termination, or (iii) due to his death or permanent disability or incapacity, (2) twelve months after his termination date if the termination is initiated by the Company without cause and is a direct result of a change of control, or (3) the date on which Mr. Habibe is employed by an employer other than the Company.

Under the terms of the employment agreement, if the Company obtains a written opinion of its tax counsel to the effect that there exists a material possibility that any payment to which Mr. Habibe would be entitled under his employment agreement would be treated as an “excess parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G(b) of the Code), his agreement shall be amended by reducing the payments to which Mr. Habibe is entitled, to the extent necessary so that, in the opinion of the Company’s tax counsel, there does not exist a material possibility that any payment under his employment agreement (as so amended) will be treated as an excess parachute payment.

the price per share of CommonStock of the Company is equal to the Merger Consideration of $0.96 per share, subject to adjustment as described in this proxy statement;
the effective time of the Merger occurred onFebruary 13, 2012, which is the latest practicable date prior to the filing of this proxy statement; and
the named executive officers of the Company were terminated without cause immediately following a change in control onFebruary 13, 2012 which is the latest practicable date prior to the filing of this proxy statement.

Name	Bonus	Severance	MICP(1)	reimbursement	Vacation	Equity	Total
Mark T. Becker	$173,770	$300,000	—	$15,649	$26,538	—	$515,957
Ivan R. Habibe	—	$250,000(2)	$82,650	$21,663	$13,462	—	$367,775

(1)		Reflects the value of the payment under the Company’s MICP assuming the payout was at 100% of the target.

(2)		Upon termination by Mr. Habibe of his employment agreement for good reason, he would be entitled to receive $125,000.

The payments described in the table above, other than equity, are made pursuant to the arrangements discussed in “—Payments and Benefits Under Employment Agreements.”

As described in “—Certain Effects of the Merger—Conversion of Outstanding Common Stock and Cancellation of Stock Options and Company Stock Awards,” in connection with the Merger, each option to acquire shares of Common Stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, whether or not then vested or exercisable, will be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, net of the exercise price of such option.

Advisory Vote on Golden Parachute Compensation

Section 14A of the Exchange Act and Rule 14a-21(c) under the Exchange Act require that the Company seek a nonbinding advisory vote from its stockholders to approve the “golden parachute” compensation that its named executive officers will receive in connection with the Merger. As required by these provisions, the Company is asking its stockholders to vote on the adoption of the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the compensation that may be paid or become payable to the Company’s named executive officers in connection with the Merger, as disclosed in the table entitled “Golden Parachute Compensation” pursuant to Item 402(t) of Regulation S-K, including the associated narrative discussion, and the agreements or understandings pursuant to which such compensation may be paid or become payable, are hereby APPROVED.”

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote “FOR” approval of this nonbinding advisory proposal. Approval of this proposal requires the approval of a majority of the voting power of the shares of Class A Common Stock and ClassB Common Stock properly cast upon this proposal. Approval of this proposal is not a condition to completion of the Merger. The vote with respect to this proposal is an advisory vote and will not be binding on the Company. Therefore, regardless of whether stockholders approve this proposal, if the Merger is approved by the stockholders and completed, the “golden parachute” compensation will still be paid to such named executive officers to the extent payable in accordance with the terms of such compensation contracts and arrangements.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Merger to certain holders of our Common Stock. This summary is based on the Code, regulations promulgated under the Code, administrative rulings and pronouncements issued by the Internal Revenue Service and court decisions now in effect. All of these authorities are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect so as to result in tax consequences different from those described below. We have not sought any ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) with respect to statements made and conclusions reached in this discussion, and the statements and conclusions in this proxy statement are not binding on the IRS or any court. We can provide no assurances that the tax consequences described below will not be challenged by the IRS or will be sustained by a court if so challenged.

This summary does not address all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be applicable to a particular holder of our Common Stock. In addition, this summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Merger to holders of our Common Stock who are subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax laws, including, for example, banks and other financial institutions, insurance companies, tax-exempt investors, S corporations, U.S. expatriates, dealers in securities, traders in securities who elect the mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities, regulated investment companies, holders who hold their Common Stock as part of a hedge, straddle or conversion transaction, holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, holders who acquired our Common Stock through the exercise of employee stock options or other compensatory arrangements, holders who receive cash pursuant to the exercise of appraisal rights, holders who are subject to the alternative minimum tax provisions of the Code and holders who do not hold their shares of our Common Stock as “capital assets” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, for investment).

This discussion does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences to any holder of our Common Stock who or which, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is a nonresident alien individual, a foreign corporation, a foreign partnership or a foreign estate or trust. In addition, this discussion does not address U.S. federal estate or gift tax consequences of the Merger, or the tax consequences of the Merger under state, local, or foreign tax laws.

If a partnership or other entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes is a beneficial owner of our Common Stock, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A beneficial owner of our Common Stock that is a partnership and partners in such a partnership should consult their tax advisors about the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Merger.

This summary is provided for general information purposes only and is not intended as a substitute for individual tax advice. Each holder of our Common Stock should consult the holder’s individual tax advisors as to the particular tax consequences of the Merger to such holder, including the application and effect of any state, local, foreign or other tax laws and the possible effect of changes to such laws.

Exchange of Common Stock for Cash. Generally, the Merger will be taxable to the holders of our Common Stock for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A holder of our Common Stock receiving cash in the Merger generally will recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash received and the holder’s adjusted tax basis in our Common Stock surrendered. Any such gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss. Any capital gain or loss will be taxed as long-term capital gain or loss if the holder has held our Common Stock for more than one year prior to the effective time of the Merger. If the holder has held our Common Stock for one year or less prior to the effective time of the Merger, any capital gain or loss will be taxed as short-term capital gain or loss. Currently, most long-term capital gains for non-corporate taxpayers are taxed at a maximum federal tax rate of 15%. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to certain limitations. If a holder acquired different blocks of Common Stock at different times and different prices, such holder must determine the adjusted tax basis and holding period separately with respect to each such block of Common Stock.

Dissenting Stockholders. Each holder of Common Stock who perfects appraisal rights with respect to the Merger, as discussed under “— Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal” beginning on page 49 of this proxy statement and who receives cash in respect of their shares of our Common Stock should consult the holder’s individual tax advisor as to the tax consequences of the receipt of cash as a result of exercising appraisal rights.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding. Generally, holders of Common Stock will be subject to information reporting on the cash received in the Merger unless such a holder is an exempt recipient. In addition, under the U.S. federal backup withholding tax rules, the exchange agent will generally be required to withhold 28% of all cash payments to which a holder of our Common Stock is entitled in connection with the Merger unless such holder provides under penalties of perjury on a Form W-9 (or appropriate substitute form) a tax identification number, certifies that such holder is a U.S. person and that the tax identification number is correct and that no backup withholding is otherwise required, and otherwise complies with such backup withholding rules, or such holder otherwise establishes an exemption. In general, each holder of our Common Stock should complete and sign the Form W-9 (or appropriate substitute form) included as part of the letter of transmittal and return it to the exchange agent, in order to certify that the holder is exempt from backup withholding or to provide the necessary information to avoid backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amount withheld from a payment to a holder of our Common Stock under these rules will be allowed as a credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

To ensure compliance with requirements imposed by the IRS, we inform you that any U.S. federal tax advice contained in this proxy statement is not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, for the purpose of (i) avoiding penalties under the Code or (ii) promoting, marketing or recommending to another party any transaction or matter addressed herein.

HOLDERS OF COMMON STOCK ARE STRONGLY URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAXADVISORS AS TO THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE MERGER, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, FOREIGN AND OTHER TAX LAWS IN THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

Litigation Related to the Merger

On December 29, 2011, a putative class action complaint was filed against the Company, the Forsyth Parties and the individual members of our Board of Directors in the Delaware Court challenging the Merger. On January 10, 2012, a putative class action complaint was filed against the Company, the Forsyth Parties and the individual members of our Board of Directors in the Circuit Court of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County, Florida challenging the Merger. Additional similar lawsuits may be filed in the future.

Each complaint alleges, among other things, that the members of our Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties owed to our stockholders by entering into the Merger Agreement, approving the proposed Merger, and failing to take steps to maximize our value to our stockholders and that the Company and the Forsyth Parties aided and abetted such breaches of fiduciary duties. In addition, each complaint alleges that certain provisions of the Merger Agreement unduly restrict our ability to negotiate with other potential bidders. Each complaint seeks, among other things, injunctive relief prohibiting the defendants from consummating the proposed Merger and damages.

Any costs that we incur in contesting these lawsuits will be included in the formula for adjustment of the Merger Consideration described in this proxy statement and, therefore, may result in a reduction of the Merger Consideration.

Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal

Under Delaware law, you have the right to dissent from the Merger and to receive payment in cash for the fair value of your Common Stock, as determined by the Delaware Court, together with interest, if any, as determined by the court, in lieu of the consideration you would otherwise be entitled to pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Stockholders electing to exercise appraisal rights must comply with the provisions of Section 262 of theDelaware Law in order to perfect their rights. Delaware law requires strict compliance with the statutory procedures in order to perfect appraisal rights.

The following is a brief summary of the material provisions of the Delaware statutory procedures required to be followed by a stockholder in order to dissent from the Merger and perfect the stockholder’s appraisal rights. This summary, however, is not a complete statement of all applicable requirements and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Section 262 of theDelaware Law. The following summary does not constitute any legal or other advice, nor does it constitute a recommendation that you exercise your right to appraisal under Section 262. If you wish to consider exercising your appraisal rights, you should carefully review the text of Section 262 contained inAppendix C because failure to timely and properly comply with the requirements of Section 262 will result in the loss of your appraisal rights under Delaware law. Section 262 requires that stockholders be notified not less than 20 days before the special meeting to vote on the adoption of the Merger Agreement that appraisal rights will be available. A copy of Section 262 must be included with such notice.

THIS PROXY STATEMENT CONSTITUTES OUR NOTICE TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS OF THEAVAILABILITY OF APPRAISAL RIGHTS IN CONNECTION WITH THE MERGER IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 262. A COPY OF SECTION 262 IS ATTACHED TO THIS PROXY STATEMENT ASAPPENDIX C.

If you elect to demand appraisal of your shares, you must satisfy each of the following conditions:

You must deliver to us, as set forth below, a written demand for appraisal of your shares before the stockholder vote is taken with respect to the adoption of the Merger Agreement at the special meeting. This written demand for appraisal must be in addition to and separate from any proxy or vote abstaining from or voting against adoption of the Merger Agreement. Voting against or failing to vote for adoption of the Merger Agreement does not constitute a demand for appraisal under Section 262.
You must not vote in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement. A vote in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement, by proxy, over the Internet, by telephone or in person, will constitute a waiver of your appraisal rights in respect of the shares so voted and will nullify any previously filed written demand for appraisal. A proxy which does not contain voting instructions will, unless revoked, be voted “FOR” approval of the Merger Agreement. Therefore, a stockholder who votes by proxy and who wishes to exercise appraisal rights must vote “AGAINST” the Merger Agreement or abstain from voting on the Merger Agreement.
You must hold of record the shares of Common Stock on the date the written demand for appraisal is made and continue to hold the shares of record through the completion of the Merger.

If you fail to comply with any of these conditions, and the Merger is completed, you will be entitled to receive the cash payment for your shares of Common Stock as provided for in the Merger Agreement, but will have no appraisal rights with respect to your shares of Common Stock.

All demands for appraisal should be addressed to Baldwin Technology Company, Inc., Attn: Corporate Secretary, 2000 NW Corporate Blvd, Suite 101, Boca Raton, Florida 33431, should be delivered before the vote on adoption of the Merger Agreement is taken at the special meeting and should be executed by, or on behalf of, the record holder of the shares of Common Stock. The demand must reasonably inform us of the identity of the stockholder and the intention of the stockholder to demand appraisal of his, her or its shares.

To be effective, a demand for appraisal by a holder of Common Stock must be made by, or in the name of, such record stockholder, fully and correctly, as the stockholder’s name appears on his or her stock certificate(s) and cannot be made by the beneficial owner if he or she does not also hold the shares of record. The beneficial holder must, in such cases, have the record owner submit the required demand in respect of such shares.

If shares are owned of record in a fiduciary capacity, such as by a trustee, guardian or custodian, execution of a demand for appraisal should be made by or for the fiduciary; and if the shares are owned of record by more than one person, as in a joint tenancy or tenancy in common, the demand should be executed by or for all joint owners. An authorized agent, including an authorized agent for two or more joint owners, may execute the demand for appraisal for a stockholder of record; however, the agent must identify the record owner or owners and expressly disclose the fact that, in executing the demand, he or she is acting as agent for the record owner. A record owner, such as a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee, who holds shares as a nominee for others, may exercise his, her or its right of appraisal with respect to the shares held for one or more beneficial owners, while not exercising this right for other beneficial owners. In such case, the written demand should state the number of shares as to which appraisal is sought. Where no number of shares is expressly mentioned, the demand will be presumed to cover all shares held in the name of such record owner.

If you hold your shares of Common Stock in a brokerage or bank account or in other nominee form and you wish to exercise appraisal rights, you should consult with your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or such other nominee to determine the appropriate procedures for the making of a demand for appraisal by such nominee. Within ten days after the effective date of the Merger, the surviving entity must give written notice of the date the Merger became effective to each stockholder who has properly filed a written demand for appraisal and who did not vote in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement. Within 120 days after the effective date of the Merger, either the surviving entity or any stockholder who has complied with the requirements of Section 262 may file a petition in the Delaware Court demanding a determination of the fair value of the shares held by all stockholders entitled to appraisal. The surviving corporation has no obligation to file such a petition in the event there are dissenting stockholders and has no intention of doing so. Accordingly, the failure of a stockholder to file such a petition within the period specified could nullify such stockholder’s previous written demand for appraisal.

At any time within 60 days after the effective date of the Merger, any stockholder who has demanded an appraisal has the right to withdraw the demand and to accept the cash payment specified by the Merger Agreement for his or her shares of Common Stock. Any attempt to withdraw an appraisal demand more than 60 days after the effective date of the Merger will require the written approval of the surviving entity. Within 120 days after the effective date of the Merger, any stockholder who has complied with Section 262 will be entitled, upon written request, to receive a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock not voted in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement and with respect to which demands for appraisal have been received and the aggregate number of holders of such shares. Such statement must be mailed within ten days after a written request has been received by the surviving corporation or within ten days after the expiration of the period for delivery of demands for appraisal, whichever is later. If a petition for appraisal is duly filed by a stockholder and a copy of the petition is delivered to the surviving corporation, the surviving corporation will then be obligated within 20 days after receiving service of a copy of the petition to provide the Delaware Court with a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all stockholders who have demanded an appraisal of their shares. After notice to dissenting stockholders who demanded appraisal of their shares, the Delaware Court is empowered to conduct a hearing upon the petition, to determine those stockholders who have complied with Section 262 and who have become entitled to the appraisal rights provided thereby. The Delaware Court may require the stockholders who have demanded payment for their shares to submit their stock certificates to the Register in Delaware for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings; and if any stockholder fails to comply with such direction, the Delaware Court may dismiss the proceedings as to such stockholder.

After determination of the stockholders entitled to appraisal of their shares of Common Stock, the Delaware Court will appraise the shares, determining their fair value exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the Merger, together with interest, if any. When the value is determined the Delaware Court will direct the payment of such value, with interest thereon accrued during the pendency of the proceeding, if the Delaware Court so determines, to the stockholders entitled to receive the same, upon surrender by such holders of the certificates representing such shares. Unless the Court in its discretion determines otherwise for good cause shown, interest from the effective date of the Merger through the date of payment of the judgment shall be compounded quarterly and shall accrue at 5% over the Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharge) as established from time to time during the period between the effective time of the Merger and the date of payment of the judgment.

In determining fair value, the Delaware Court is required to take into account all relevant factors. InWeinberger v. UOP, Inc., the Delaware Supreme Court discussed the factors that could be considered in determining fair value in an appraisal proceeding, stating that “proof of value by any techniques or methods which are generally considered acceptable in the financial community and otherwise admissible in court” should be considered and that “[f]air price obviously requires consideration of all relevant factors involving the value of a company.” The Delaware Supreme Court has stated that in making this determination of fair value, the court must consider market value, asset value, dividends, earning prospects, the nature of the enterprise and any other facts which could be ascertained as of the date of the merger which throw any light on future prospects of the merged corporation. Section 262 provides that fair value is to be “exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger.” InCede & Co. v. Technicolor, Inc., the Delaware Supreme Court stated that such exclusion is a “narrow exclusion [that] does not encompass known elements of value,” but which rather applies only to the speculative elements of value arising from such accomplishment or expectation. InWeinberger, the Delaware Supreme Court also stated that “elements of future value, including the nature of the enterprise, which are known or susceptible of proof as of the date of the merger and not the product of speculation, may be considered.” In addition, the Delaware courts have decided that the statutory appraisal remedy, depending on factual circumstances, may or may not be a dissenting stockholder’s exclusive remedy.

Although we believe the cash payment to be received for your shares of Common Stock under the Merger Agreement is fair, you should be aware that the fair value of your shares as determined under Section 262 could be more, the same or less than the value that you are entitled to receive pursuant to the Merger Agreement. You should be aware that investment banking opinions as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the consideration payable in a Merger are not opinions as to fair value under Section 262. Moreover, we do not anticipate offering more than the Merger Consideration to any stockholder exercising appraisal rights and reserve the right to assert, in any appraisal proceeding, that, for purposes of Section 262, the “fair value” of a share of Common Stock is less than the Merger Consideration.

Costs of the appraisal proceeding may be imposed upon the surviving corporation and the stockholders participating in the appraisal proceeding by the Delaware Court as the Delaware Court deems equitable in the circumstances. Upon the application of a stockholder, the Delaware Court may order all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any stockholder in connection with the appraisal proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and the fees and expenses of experts, to be charged pro rata against the value of all shares entitled to appraisal. Any stockholder who had demanded appraisal rights will not, after the effective date of the Merger, be entitled to vote shares subject to such demand for any purpose or to receive payments of dividends or any other distribution with respect to such shares (other than with respect to payment as of a record date prior to the effective date); however, if no petition for appraisal is filed within 120 days after the effective date of the Merger, or if such stockholder delivers a written withdrawal of his or her demand for appraisal and an acceptance of the Merger within 60 days after the effective date of the Merger, then the right of such stockholder to appraisal will cease and such stockholder will be entitled to receive the cash payment for his, her or its shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Any withdrawal of a demand for appraisal made more than 60 days after the effective date of the Merger may only be made with the written approval of the surviving corporation and must, to be effective, be made within 120 days after the effective date.

In view of the complexity of Section 262, stockholders who may wish to dissent from the Merger and pursue appraisal rights should consult their legal advisors. Failure to take any required step in connection with exercising appraisal rights may result in the termination or waiver of such rights.

TERMS OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT

The following is a summary of the material provisions of the Merger Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Merger Agreement, which is attached asAppendix Ato this proxy statement. This summary does not purport to be complete and may not contain all of the information about the Merger Agreement that is important to you. We urge you to read the Merger Agreement carefully and in its entirety because it, and not this proxy statement, is the legal document that governs the Merger.

Explanatory Note Regarding the Merger Agreement

The Merger Agreement has been included to provide our stockholders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide to any person not a party thereto any other factual information about the Company. The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties of the Company and the Forsyth Parties, negotiated between the parties and made as of specific dates solely for purposes of the Merger Agreement, including setting forth the respective rights of the parties with respect to their obligations to complete the Merger. This description of the representations and warranties is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties. The representations and warranties may have been made for the purpose of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures. As a result, no person should rely on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company or the Forsyth Parties or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates.

General; The Merger

At the effective time of the Merger, upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions of the Merger Agreement and in accordance with theDelaware Law, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Company shall be the surviving corporation of the Merger. As of the effective time of the Merger, the certificate of incorporation of the surviving corporation shall be amended to read as set forth in Exhibit B to the Merger Agreement, and the bylaws of the surviving corporation shall be amended as set forth in the Merger Agreement. The directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will, from and after the effective time of the Merger, be the directors of the surviving corporation until their respective successors have been duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal. The officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will, from and after the effective time of the Merger, be the officers of the surviving corporation until their respective successors have been duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal.

When the Merger Becomes Effective

The Company and Merger Sub will file a certificate of merger (“Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware within three business days following the date on which the last of the conditions to the closing of the Merger (described under“—Conditions to the Merger” beginning on page 61) have been satisfied or waived (other than the conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the closing of the Merger, but subject to the fulfillment or waiver of those conditions). The Merger will become effective at the time the Certificate of Merger is duly filed with the Secretary of State or at some later date agreed upon by the Forsyth Parties and the Company.

Consideration to be Received Pursuant to the Merger

Conversion of Our Common Stock

The Merger Agreement provides that each share of our Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, except those shares owned by the Company as treasury stock or by the Forsyth Parties, or shares held by stockholders who are entitled to and who properly exercise, and do not withdraw or lose, appraisal rights under Section 262 of theDelaware Law, will be cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive $0.96 in cash, subject to adjustment as described below, without interest and less any withholding taxes. After the effective time of the Merger, each holder of a certificate representing any shares of our Common Stock (other than shares for which appraisal rights have been properly demanded and perfected under Section 262 of theDelaware Law) will no longer have any rights with respect to the shares, except for the right to receive the Merger Consideration. All shares of Common Stock that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, and all shares of Common Stock owned by the Company as treasury stock or by the Forsyth Parties or Merger Sub, will be automatically cancelled and cease to exist.

Adjustments to Merger Consideration

The Total Merger Consideration being paid by FCI is subject to adjustment. The Total Merger Consideration payable to the Company’s stockholders and holders of options and warrants assumes there will be 15,799,901 shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding, and approximately $1,250,000 paid in respect of Company Stock Awards, options and warrants issued and outstanding at the effective time of the Merger and, thus, that the equity value paid will be approximately $16,400,000. To the extent there are any changes in the Company’s capital structure, including by reason of issuance of any warrants pursuant to the terms of the Eleventh Amendment to the Credit Agreement, the per share Merger Consideration will be adjusted to reflect such change.

The aggregate Merger Consideration paid to all of our stockholders is subject to adjustment, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, to the extent that:

the Company’s aggregate cash balances (plus (i) the amount of any expenses paid by the Company in connection with the Merger, (ii) the repayment or prepayment of certain amounts under the Company’s debt facilities and (iii) the amount of any 2011 Christmas bonuses paid by Baldwin Germany GmbH (up to the euro equivalent of $400,000)) exceeds (b) the Company’s aged accounts payable (and debt incurred under certain debt facilities since the date of the Merger Agreement) by less than $1,800,000;
the amount of the Company’s expenses paid or incurred in connection with the Merger exceed $1,400,000; and
the Company incurs certain fees to its Lenders in connection with the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by that agreement or in connection with any default, financing or refinancing after December 22, 2011.

Several factors beyond the Company’s control may result in a downward adjustment of the MergerConsideration, such as a decline in customer demand for the Company’s products and services or in our customers’ ability to make timely payments, which could negatively impact the Company’s aggregate cash balances or aged accounts payable. In the event that the adjustments would result in the Merger Consideration being less than $0.90 per share, the Company is obligated under the Merger Agreement to adjourn or postpone the special meeting, amend this proxy statement and resolicit the approval of the Company’s stockholders for the Merger at the revised Merger Consideration, adjusted as set forth above, which may be substantially less than $0.90 per share.

Treatment of Stock Options and Warrants

The Merger Agreement provides that the Company will take such other actions as are required to provide that our stock options and warrants will be treated as follows at the effective time of the Merger:

each Company stock option, whether or not exercisable, that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be cancelled in exchange for a cash payment equal to the product of (a) the excess (if any) of the Merger Consideration over the per share exercise price of such Company stock option and (b) the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Company stock option, less any required withholding taxes; and
each Company warrant that is outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be cancelled in exchange for a payment in cash equal to the product of the number of shares of Common Stockunderlying such warrant multiplied by the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the per share exercise price under such warrant, less any required withholding taxes.

Procedure for Receiving Merger Consideration

At the effective time of the Merger, the Forsyth Parties will deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the exchange agent cash sufficient to pay our stockholders (except those shares held by any of our stockholders who are entitled to and who properly exercise, and do not withdraw or lose, appraisal rights under Section 262 of theDelaware Law and shares owned by the Company as treasury stock or by the Forsyth Parties) and the holders of options and warrants the Total Merger Consideration to which they are entitled under the Merger Agreement. The Merger Consideration will be payable upon surrender of the certificates (“Certificates”) that represented our Common Stock immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, or non-certificated shares of Common Stock represented by book entry (“Book-Entry Shares”). The cash deposited pursuant to the foregoing is referred to as the “Payment Fund.”

As soon as reasonably practicable after the effective time of the Merger (and in any event within one business days following the effective time of the Merger), the surviving corporation will cause the exchange agent to mail to each record holder of our Common Stock a letter of transmittal and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Each stockholder will be entitled to receive the appropriate Merger Consideration upon surrendering to the exchange agent such stockholder’s Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, together with a properly executed letter of transmittal and any other documents required by the exchange agent. The Merger Consideration and any other consideration paid under the Merger Agreement may be reduced by any applicable withholding taxes as required by law.You should not return your Certificates to the exchange agent without a letter of transmittal, and you should not return your Certificates to the Company.

If a payment is to be made to a person other than the person in whose name the surrendered Certificate is registered, it will be a condition of payment that the Certificate so surrendered will be endorsed properly or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting the payment will have paid all applicable taxes relating to the payment of Merger Consideration to a person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or will have to establish that such taxes either have been paid or are not applicable.

At the effective time of the Merger, the stock transfer books of the Company will be closed and there will be no further registration of transfers of our Common Stock in the stock transfer books of the surviving corporation. From and after the effective time of the Merger, the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall cease to have any rights as a stockholder of the Company except as provided under the Merger Agreement or applicable law. If, after the effective time of the Merger, any Certificates are presented to the surviving corporation or the exchange agent for transfer or transfer is sought for Book-Entry Shares, such Certificates and Book-Entry Shares will be cancelled and exchanged for payment of the appropriate Merger Consideration.

Unclaimed Amounts

Any portion of the Payment Fund that remains undistributed to our stockholders after the twelve-month anniversary of the effective time of the Merger will be delivered by the exchange agent to the Forsyth Parties upon demand, and any of our stockholders who have not received the Merger Consideration may surrender their Certificates, or in the case of Book-Entry Shares, shares of Common Stock to the surviving corporation for payment of the Merger Consideration, without interest or dividends, due in respect of their shares of Common Stock. None of Merger Sub, the Company, the surviving corporation or the exchange agent will be liable to any stockholders of the Company or other person in respect of any cash property delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. Any Merger Consideration remaining unclaimed in the Payment Fund by our stockholders two years after the effective time of the Merger (or such earlier time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any governmental entity), will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, become the property of the Forsyth Parties free and clear of all claims or interests.

Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates

If any Certificate is lost, stolen or destroyed, the surviving corporation or exchange agent will deliver the applicable Merger Consideration due with respect to the shares formerly represented by such Certificate if the stockholder asserting the claim of a lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate makes an affidavit of that fact in form and substance, and, if required by the surviving corporation or the exchange agent, a surety bond, reasonably acceptable to the surviving corporation or the exchange agent.

At any time from and after 12:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on January 29, 2012 and prior to obtaining stockholder approval, if the Company or any of its representatives has received a written takeover proposal from any third party that the Board of Directors, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, reasonably believes constitutes or could lead to a superior proposal, and, after consultation with outside legal counsel, the Board of Directors determines in good faith that the failure to take such action would reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors to the stockholders, then the Company may:

furnish information with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries to such third party making suchtakeover proposal (provided that such information is provided pursuant to an acceptable confidentialityagreement and the Company makes available to the Forsyth Parties any material non-public informationrelating to the Company or its subsidiaries that is made available to such third party which was notpreviously made available to the Forsyth Parties); and

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to obtaining stockholder approval, if there occurs a change in circumstances affecting the Company and its subsidiaries that does not relate to any takeover proposal, the Board of Directors may make an adverse recommendation change if:

it determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel) that, in light of such change in circumstances, failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors to the stockholders of the Company;
the Board of Directors notifies the Forsyth Parties in writing of its intention to make such adverse recommendation change at least five business days prior to doing so, which notice shall contain a reasonably detailed description of the change in circumstances;
for the five business days following delivery of the notice described above, the Company shall, and shall cause its representatives to, negotiate with the Forsyth Parties (to the extent the Forsyth Parties desire to negotiate) in good faith to make such adjustments to the terms of the Merger Agreement so that such failure to make an adverse recommendation change would not be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors to the stockholders of the Company; and
following such five business-day period described above, the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, taking into account any changes to the Merger Agreement proposed in writing by the Forsyth Parties in response to the notice described above, that failure to make the adverse recommendation change would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors to the stockholders of the Company.

Nothing in the provisions of the Merger Agreement will prevent the Board of Directors from (i) complying with Rule 14e-2(a) or Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act with regard to an acquisition proposal (provided that any such action taken or statement made that relates to an acquisition proposal will not be deemed to be an adverse recommendation change if the Board of Directors’ recommendation is reaffirmed in connection with such action or in such statement) or (ii) making any disclosure to the stockholders of the Company if the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with any applicable law (including its fiduciary duties).

An “excluded party” means any person or group of related persons from whom the Company has received, on or before January 28, 2012, a written takeover proposal that the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s financial advisors and outside counsel, is bona fide and could reasonably be expected to result in a superior proposal (as defined below).

any bona fide inquiry, proposal or offer for, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, a merger, reorganization, consolidation, tender offer, dissolution, recapitalization, share exchange or other business combination or similar transaction involving the Company and its subsidiaries (other than (1) mergers, consolidations, tender offers, recapitalizations, share exchanges or other business combinations involving solely the Company and/or one or more subsidiaries of the Company and (2) mergers, consolidations, tender offers, recapitalizations, share exchanges or other business combinations or similar transactions that if consummated would result in the holders of the outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such transaction owning more than 80% of the equity securities of the Company, or any successor or acquiring entity, immediately thereafter);
any proposal for the issuance by the Company of over 20% of its equity securities; or
any proposal or offer to acquire in any manner, directly or indirectly, over 20% of the equity securities or consolidated total assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, in each case other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

A “superior proposal” means a bona fide written proposal made by a third party to acquire more than 50% of the equity securities or consolidated total assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, pursuant to a tender or exchange offer, a merger, a consolidation or a sale of its assets, (i) on terms which the Board of Directors or Transaction Committee determines in its good faith judgment to be more favorable from a financial point of view to the holders of Common Stock than the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (after consultation with its financial and legal advisors), taking into account all the terms and conditions of such proposal and the Merger Agreement and (ii) that the Board of Directors or Transaction Committee has determined to be reasonably capable of being completed on the terms proposed, taking into account all financial (including the financing terms thereof), regulatory, legal and other aspects of such proposal and the person making the proposal, and taking into account the likelihood and timing of consummation as compared to the transactions contemplated hereby.

Each of these indemnified parties is entitled to the advancement of expenses in defense of any claim, provided that the indemnified parties agree to repay such expenses if a court should determine in a final and non-appealable order that indemnification is prohibited by law. The Forsyth Parties and the surviving corporation are required to obtain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance or a "tail policy" providing coverage for a period of six years following the effective time of the merger, provided the premium therefor does not exceed $90,000.

The Forsyth Parties have agreed that all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation by the Company existing as of the date of the Merger Agreement for each person who is now, or has been at any time prior, or who becomes prior to the effective time of the Merger, an officer or director of the Company and its subsidiaries, as provided under the Company’s or its subsidiaries charter documents, shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. For three years after effective time of the Merger, the Forsyth Parties and the surviving corporation will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify, defend and hold harmless, each current and former director or officer of the Company or any of our subsidiaries for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such person in connection with investigating or defending any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, fees, expenses, judgments and fines as such expenses are incurred, subject to the surviving corporation's receipt of an undertaking by such person to repay such legal and other fees and expenses paid in advance if it is ultimately determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that such person is not entitled to be indemnified under applicable law; provided, however, that the surviving corporation will not be liable for any settlement effected without the surviving corporation's prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Financing

The Forsyth Parties have agreed to use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause their representatives to comply with the terms, and satisfy on a timely basis the conditions, of the equity commitment letter from Barry-Wehmiller, any alternative financing commitments or any related fee and engagement letters.

the Merger Agreement has been submitted to the stockholders of the Company for adoption at a duly convened meeting and the requisite stockholder vote shall not have been obtained at such meeting (including any adjournment or postponement thereof); provided, however, with respect to any such termination, a takeover proposal shall have been publicly disclosed and not withdrawn, and within twelve months following the date of such termination of the Merger Agreement the Company enters into a definitive agreement with respect to any takeover proposal or a takeover proposal shall have been consummated.

Notwithstanding anything above to the contrary, the Companywould have been required to pay FCI a termination fee of $2,000,000 instead of $3,000,000 if the Companyhadterminated the Merger Agreement in order to enter into a definitive agreement concerning a takeover proposal with an excluded party.

Amendments; Waivers

Any provision of the Merger Agreement may be amended or waived before the effective time of the Merger only if the amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by each party to the Merger Agreement or, in the case of a waiver, by each party against whom the waiver is to be effective; provided that, after adoption of the Merger Agreement by our stockholders, no amendment or waiver to the Merger Agreement that requires stockholder approval under applicable law may be made without our stockholders’ further approval.

In connection with the Merger Agreement, FCI entered into the Voting Agreements with each of our directors and Akira Hara, a stockholder and former director and executive officer of the Company.

Holders of shares of Class A Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share and holders of shares of Class B Common Stock are entitled to ten votes per share. As a result, the shares owned as of the record date by our stockholders parties to the Voting Agreements constitute approximately29.20% of the voting power of the shares of Common Stock entitled to vote on the adoption of the Merger Agreement.

Under the terms of the Voting Agreements, each stockholder as party to any such agreement, among other things, has agreed to vote all shares of Common Stock held by such stockholder: (i) in favor of the Merger, the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, at any meeting of stockholders ofthe Company and any adjournment or postponement thereof; (ii) against (1) any alternative transaction proposal, (2) any action, proposal, transaction or agreement which could reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement ofthe Company under the Merger Agreement or of such stockholder under the Voting Agreement to which such stockholder is a party, and (3) any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that could reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, discourage, adversely affect or inhibit the timely consummation of the Merger or the fulfillment of the Forsyth Parties’ conditions under the Merger Agreement or change in any manner the voting rights of any class of shares ofthe Company.

The stockholders that are parties to the Voting Agreements have also agreed, among other things, (i) not to transfer or otherwise dispose of their respective shares of Common Stock (subject to certain customary exceptions), (ii) not to deposit such shares into a voting trust, grant any proxies with respect to such shares or subject any of such shares to any arrangement with respect to the voting thereof, and (iii) to waive, in connection with the Merger, any appraisal or other rights to dissent they may have with respect to their shares of Common Stock. The stockholders that are parties to the Voting Agreements have also agreed that these restrictions will apply to any shares of Common Stock of which they acquire beneficial ownership after the date of the Voting Agreements.

Termination

The Voting Agreements will terminate upon the earliest to occur of the date on which (i) the effectiveness of the Merger occurs, (ii) the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms or (iii) in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Board of Directors changes its recommendation to stockholders with respect to the vote to approve the Merger, the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

The stockholders that are parties to the Voting Agreements are subject to the obligations described above solely in their capacities as stockholders of the Company. Nothing in the Voting Agreements limits or otherwise affects the fiduciary duties and other obligations or rights of such stockholders in their capacity as officers or directors of the Company.

Promptly after the Effective Time (but in no event later than one Business Day after the Effective Time), Buyer shall send, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each record holder of shares of Company Common Stock entitled to Merger Consideration at the Effective Time, a letter of transmittal and instructions (which shall be in customary form and shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent or, in the case of the Book-Entry Shares, upon adherence to the procedures set forth in the letter of transmittal) for use in such exchange.

Until so surrendered or transferred, as the case may be, and subject to the terms set forth inSection 2.03, each such Certificate or Book-Entry Share, as applicable, shall represent after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof. No interest shall be paid or accrued on the cash payable upon the surrender or transfer of any Certificate or Book-Entry Share. Upon payment of the Merger Consideration pursuant to the provisions of thisArticle II, each Certificate or Certificates so surrendered shall immediately be cancelled.

(c) If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or the transferred Book-Entry Share, as applicable, is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that (i) such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Book-Entry Share shall be properly transferred, and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other Tax required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share, as applicable, or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(d) All Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender of Certificates or transfer of Book-Entry Shares in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares, and from and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in thisArticle II.

(e) Any portion of the Payment Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of shares of Company Common Stock entitled to Merger Consideration twelve months after the Effective Time shall be returned to Mezzanine, upon demand, and any such holder who has not exchanged shares of Company Common Stock for the Merger Consideration in accordance with thisSection 2.02 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of the Merger Consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mezzanine shall not be liable to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock for any amounts paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of shares of Company Common Stock two years after the Effective Time (or such earlier date immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity) shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the property of Mezzanine free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

EXECUTION VERSION

(f) Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Exchange Agent in respect of any Dissenting Shares shall be returned to the Surviving Corporation, upon demand.

Section 2.03 Dissenting Shares.Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares cancelled in accordance withSection 2.01(a)) and held by a holder who has properly exercised appraisal rights of such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (such shares of Company Common Stock being referred to collectively as the “Dissenting Shares” until such time as such holder fails to perfect or otherwise loses such holder’s appraisal rights under the DGCL with respect to such shares) shall not be converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration, but instead shall be entitled to only such rights as are granted by Section 262 of the DGCL;provided, however, that if, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or loses such holder’s right to appraisal pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL, such shares of Company Common Stock shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance withSection 2.01(b), without interest thereon, upon surrender of such Certificate formerly representing such share or transfer of such Book-Entry Share, as the case may be. The Company shall provide the Forsyth Parties prompt written notice of any demand received by the Company for appraisal of shares of Company Common Stock, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL that relates to such demand, and the Forsyth Parties shall have the opportunity and right to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Except with the prior written consent of FCI (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), the Company shall not make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demand.

Section 2.04 Adjustments.Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, the Merger Consideration shall be subject to adjustment as set forth in thisSection 2.04.

(a) The Merger Consideration set forth inSection 2.01(b)assumes that there will be 15,799,901 shares of Company Common Stock and $1,253,525.75 paid to settle in-the-money Options and in-the-money Warrants issued and outstanding at the Effective Time pursuant toSections 2.07and2.08and thus that the total equity value paid will be $16,421,430.70. If any change in the equity capital structure of the Company shall occur,

EXECUTION VERSION

including without limitation by reason of the issuance of the Eleventh Amendment Additional Warrants or any other warrants to the Company’s lenders not outstanding as of the date of this Agreement, and including by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including reverse stock split) or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend or distribution paid in stock, the Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such change.

(b) The aggregate Merger Consideration to be paid as set forth inSection 2.01(b)shall be adjusted downward, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, to the extent that:

(i) A minus B is less than $1,800,000, where


A	=	the sum of (I) the Company’s aggregate cash balances (excluding any restricted cash), plus (II) the amount of Transaction-Related Expenses paid by the Company in cash, plus (III) the amount of indebtedness under the Japanese Credit Facilities repaid after the date hereof and prior to the Closing, plus (IV) the amount of mandatory prepayments of debt underSection 6.2.2(b) of the Credit Agreement made by the Company after the date hereof and prior to the Closing, plus (V) the amount of any 2011 Christmas bonuses paid by Baldwin Germany GmbH (up to the euro equivalent of $400,000) after the date hereof and prior to the Closing pursuant to the July 8, 2011 company agreement between the management and the company council of Baldwin Germany GmbH, and

B	=	the sum of (I) the amount of indebtedness incurred (including borrowings under existing lines of credit) under the Japanese Credit Facilities after the date hereof and prior to the Closing, plus (II) the balance of Aged A/P, in each case as of date of the Company’s most recent weekly global cash report and global accounts payable aging report (as referenced inSection 5.03(b)) prior to the calculation to be performed pursuant toSection 2.04(d).

		By way of example:

		if A = $5,200,000 and B = $5,000,000, then A minus B is $200,000 and the downward adjustment is $1,600,000 ($1,800,000 minus $200,000); or

		if A = $5,000,000 and B = $5,500,000, then A minus B is negative $500,000 and the downward adjustment is $2,300,000 ($1,800,000 minus negative $500,000);

EXECUTION VERSION

(ii) the amount of the Company’s Transaction-Related Expenses paid or incurred exceed $1,400,000; and/or

(iii) the Eleventh Amendment Additional Fees become payable or the Company otherwise incurs fees to its lenders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or in connection with any default, financing or refinancing after the date of this Agreement.

In the event of any reduction in the aggregate Merger Consideration pursuant to thisSection 2.04(b), such reduction shall be applied on a pro rata basis to calculate the per share Merger Consideration.

(c) The parties agree that the aggregate cash balances determined pursuant toSection 2.04(b)(i), the amount of Transaction-Related Expenses determined pursuant toSections 2.04(b)(i)and(ii), and the balance of Aged A/P determined pursuant toSection 2.04(b)(i)shall be calculated in U.S. dollars. To the extent that any balances are denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars, such balances shall be converted into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates set forth in Exhibit C for purposes of performing the calculations referenced inSection 2.04(b). In the event that any amount is denominated in a currency whose exchange rate is not set forth in Exhibit C, then such amount shall be converted into U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rate set forth in the “Currencies” table of the edition ofThe Wall Street Journalissued on the date of this Agreement.

(d) The parties shall calculate the Merger Consideration adjustments, if any, pursuant toSections 2.04(a)and(b) as of the close of business in the United States four Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date. If such adjustments would result in per share Merger Consideration (the “Adjusted Per Share Merger Consideration”) less than the Initial Proxy Solicitation Merger Consideration Floor, (i) the Company shall adjourn the scheduled Company Stockholders Meeting in accordance with the DGCL, amend or supplement the Company Proxy Statement to reflect the Adjusted Per Share Merger Consideration as determined pursuant to thisSection 2.04in accordance with applicable SEC rules and resolicit the approval of the Company’s Stockholders in favor of this Agreement, the Merger, and the other transactions contemplated hereby (including such adjusted per share Merger Consideration) in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement; (ii) subject toSection 7.02(a), the Closing shall be delayed by an additional number of days appropriate to accomplish such resolicitation; and (iii) the Adjusted Per Share Merger Consideration shall not be subject to further adjustment pursuant toSection 2.04(b).

Section 2.05 Withholding Rights.Each of the Exchange Agent, the Forsyth Parties and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to thisArticle II such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of

EXECUTION VERSION

1986, as amended, and applicable Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto (the “Code”), or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld by the Exchange Agent, the Forsyth Parties or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which the Exchange Agent, the Forsyth Parties or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding.

Section 2.06 Lost Certificates.If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent will issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares formerly represented by such Certificate as contemplated under thisArticle II.

Section 2.07 Treatment of Stock Options and Other Stock-based Compensation.

(a) The Company shall take all requisite action so that, at the Effective Time, each option to acquire shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Company Stock Option”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable, shall be, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Forsyth Parties, the Company, the holder of that Company Stock Option or any other Person, cancelled and converted into the right to receive from FCI, Buyer, Mezzanine, and the Surviving Corporation, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (x) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option, multiplied by (y) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the per share exercise price under such Company Stock Option, less any Taxes required to be withheld in accordance withSection 2.05.

Transaction Committee of the Board of Directors
Baldwin Technology Company, Inc.
2000 NW Corporate Blvd., Suite 101
Boca Raton, Florida, 33431

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Baldwin Technology Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), has engaged Duff & Phelps, LLC (“Duff & Phelps”) to serve as an independent financial advisor to the Transaction Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Transaction Committee”) of the Company and to provide an opinion (the “Opinion”) as of the date hereof as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the holders of the Company Common Stock (as herein defined), of the consideration to be received in the contemplated transaction described below (the “Proposed Transaction”).

Description of the Proposed Transaction

The Proposed Transaction is a merger pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), entered into as of December 22, 2011, by and among the Company, Forsyth Capital Investors, LLC, a Missouri limited liability company (“Forsyth”), Forsyth Print, Inc., a Delaware corporation and indirect affiliate of Forsyth ("Merger Sub"), and the other parties named therein. The Merger Agreement provides for, among other things, the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company. As a result of the Proposed Transaction, the corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease, and the Company will continue as the surviving corporation. As more fully set forth in the Merger Agreement, and subject to certain adjustments set forth therein, each share of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the "Company Class A Common Stock") and each share of Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company ("Company Class B Common Stock" and together with the Company Class A Common Stock, the “Company Common Stock”) will be converted into the right to receive approximately $0.96 in cash. The aggregate consideration received by the holders of the Company Common Stock will be decreased on a dollar-for-dollar basis based on certain factors, including the extent the difference between the Company’s aggregate cash balances and the balance of aged accounts payable is less than $1,800,000, provided that such adjustments cannot reduce the per share consideration below $0.90.

In performing its analyses and rendering this Opinion with respect to the Proposed Transaction, Duff & Phelps, with the Company’s consent:

1.		Relied upon the accuracy, completeness, and fair presentation of all information, data, advice, opinions and representations obtained from public sources or provided to it from private sources, including Company management, and did not independently verify such information;

2.		Relied upon the fact that the Transaction Committee and the Company have been advised by its legal, tax and regulatory advisors as to all legal, tax and regulatory matters with respect to the Proposed Transaction, including whether all procedures required by law to be taken in connection with the Proposed Transaction have been duly, validly and timely taken;

4.		Assumed that information supplied and representations made by Company management regarding the Company and the Proposed Transaction are substantially accurate in all respects material to our analysis;

To the extent that any of the foregoing assumptions or any of the facts on which this Opinion is based prove to be untrue in any material respect, this Opinion cannot and should not be relied upon. Furthermore, in Duff & Phelps’ analysis and in connection with the preparation of this Opinion, Duff & Phelps has made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, market and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of any party involved in the Proposed Transaction.

Duff & Phelps has prepared this Opinion effective as of the date hereof. This Opinion is necessarily based upon the information made available to us as of the date hereof and upon market, economic, financial and other conditions as they exist and can be evaluated as of the date hereof, and Duff & Phelps disclaims any undertaking or obligation to advise any person of any change in any fact or matter affecting this Opinion which may come or be brought to the attention of Duff & Phelps after the date hereof.

Duff & Phelps did not evaluate the Company’s solvency or conduct an independent appraisal or physical inspection of any specific assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise). Our opinion does not address the relative merits of the Proposed Transaction as compared to other business or financial strategies that might be available to the Company, nor does it address the underlying business decision of the Company to engage in the Proposed Transaction. Duff & Phelps has not (i) initiated any discussions with, or solicit any indications of interest from, third parties with respect to the Proposed Transaction, the assets, businesses or operations of the Company, or any alternatives to the Proposed Transaction, (ii) negotiated the terms of the Proposed Transaction, and therefore, Duff & Phelps has assumed that such terms are the most beneficial terms, from the Company’s perspective, that could, under the circumstances, be negotiated among the parties to the Agreement and the Transaction, or (iii) advised the Transaction Committee or any other party with respect to alternatives to the Proposed Transaction. As set forth below, an affiliate of Duff & Phelps has been engaged by the Company to solicit alternative proposals, as provided in the Merger Agreement, subsequent to the date hereof.

Duff & Phelps is not expressing any opinion as to the market price or value of the Company’s Common Stock after the announcement or the consummation of the Proposed Transaction. This Opinion should not be construed as a valuation opinion, credit rating, solvency opinion, an analysis of the Company’s credit worthiness, as tax advice, or as accounting advice. Duff & Phelps has not made, and assumes no responsibility to make, any representation, or render any opinion, as to any legal, tax or accounting matter.

In rendering this Opinion, Duff & Phelps is not expressing any opinion with respect to the fairness of the Proposed Transaction to, or any consideration received in connection therewith by, the holders of any other securities, creditors or other constituencies of the Company or the amount or nature of any compensation to be received by any of the Company’s officers, directors, or employees, or any class of such persons, relative to the consideration to be received by the public shareholders of the Company in the Proposed Transaction, or with respect to the fairness of any such compensation.

This Opinion is furnished solely for the use and benefit of the Transaction Committee in connection with its consideration of the Proposed Transaction and is not intended to, and does not, confer any rights or remedies upon any other person, and is not intended to be used, and may not be used, by any other person or for any other purpose, without Duff & Phelps’ express consent. This Opinion (i) does not address the merits of the underlying business decision to enter into the Proposed Transaction versus any alternative strategy or transaction; (ii) does not address any transaction related to the Proposed Transaction; (iii) is not a recommendation as to how the Transaction Committee or any stockholder should vote or act with respect to any matters relating to the Proposed Transaction, or whether to proceed with the Proposed Transaction or any related transaction; and (iv) does not indicate that the consideration received is the best possibly attainable under any circumstances; instead, it merely states whether the consideration in the Proposed Transaction is within a range suggested by certain financial analyses. The decision as to whether to proceed with the Proposed Transaction or any related transaction may depend on an assessment of factors unrelated to the financial analysis on which this Opinion is based. This letter should not be construed as creating any fiduciary duty on the part of Duff & Phelps to any party.

This Opinion is solely that of Duff & Phelps, and Duff & Phelps’ liability in connection with this letter shall be limited in accordance with the terms set forth in the engagement letter between Duff & Phelps and the Company dated November 21, 2011 (the “Engagement Letter”). This letter is confidential, and its use and disclosure is strictly limited in accordance with the terms set forth in the Engagement Letter.This opinion may not be disclosed, quoted, referred to or communicated (in whole or in part) to any third party for any purpose whatsoever except with our prior written approval, except the Company may reproduce this opinion in full in any document that is required to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and required to be mailed by the Company to its stockholders relating to the Proposed Transaction; provided, however, that all references to us or our opinion in any such document and the description or inclusion of our opinion therein shall be subject to our prior approval.

Disclosure of Prior Relationships

Duff & Phelps has acted as financial advisor to the Transaction Committee and will receive a fee for its services. The Transaction Committee has also agreed to reimburse certain of Duff & Phelps’ expenses arising out of its engagement. No portion of Duff & Phelps’ fee is contingent upon either the conclusion expressed in this Opinion or whether or not the Proposed Transaction is successfully consummated. Pursuant to the terms of the Engagement Letter, a portion of Duff & Phelps’ fee is payable upon Duff & Phelps’ stating to the Transaction Committee that it is prepared to deliver its Opinion. The Engagement Letter also provides for the engagement of an affiliate of Duff & Phelps to provide investment banking services in connection with a solicitation of investors for a superior proposal pursuant to the Merger Agreement, for which such affiliate of Duff & Phelps will receive an additional fee, a substantial portion of which is contingent on the consummation of a superior proposal. Other than this engagement and financial reporting valuation services performed for the Company for which Duff & Phelps received customary fees, expense reimbursement, and indemnification, during the two years preceding the date of this Opinion, Duff & Phelps has not had any material relationship with any party to the Proposed Transaction for which compensation has been received or is intended to be received, nor is any such material relationship or related compensation mutually understood to be contemplated.

(c) Any corporation may provide in its certificate of incorporation that appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of its stock as a result of an amendment to its certificate of incorporation, any merger or consolidation in which the corporation is a constituent corporation or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the corporation. If the certificate of incorporation contains such a provision, the procedures of this section, including those set forth in subsections (d) and (e) of this section, shall apply as nearly as is practicable.

(d) Appraisal rights shall be perfected as follows:

(1) If a proposed merger or consolidation for which appraisal rights are provided under this section is to be submitted for approval at a meeting of stockholders, the corporation, not less than 20 days prior to the meeting, shall notify each of its stockholders who was such on the record date for notice of such meeting (or such members who received notice in accordance with § 255(c) of this title) with respect to shares for which appraisal rights are available pursuant to subsection (b) or (c) of this section that appraisal rights are available for any or all of the shares of the constituent corporations, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section and, if 1 of the constituent corporations is a nonstock corporation, a copy of § 114 of this title. Each stockholder electing to demand the appraisal of such stockholder's shares shall deliver to the corporation, before the taking of the vote on the merger or consolidation, a written demand for appraisal of such stockholder's shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such stockholder's shares. A proxy or vote against the merger or consolidation shall not constitute such a demand. A stockholder electing to take such action must do so by a separate written demand as herein provided. Within 10 days after the effective date of such merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation shall notify each stockholder of each constituent corporation who has complied with this subsection and has not voted in favor of or consented to the merger or consolidation of the date that the merger or consolidation has become effective; or

C-2

(2) If the merger or consolidation was approved pursuant to § 228, § 253, or § 267 of this title, then either a constituent corporation before the effective date of the merger or consolidation or the surviving or resulting corporation within 10 days thereafter shall notify each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation who are entitled to appraisal rights of the approval of the merger or consolidation and that appraisal rights are available for any or all shares of such class or series of stock of such constituent corporation, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section and, if 1 of the constituent corporations is a nonstock corporation, a copy of § 114 of this title. Such notice may, and, if given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, shall, also notify such stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation. Any stockholder entitled to appraisal rights may, within 20 days after the date of mailing of such notice, demand in writing from the surviving or resulting corporation the appraisal of such holder's shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such holder's shares. If such notice did not notify stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation, either (i) each such constituent corporation shall send a second notice before the effective date of the merger or consolidation notifying each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation that are entitled to appraisal rights of the effective date of the merger or consolidation or (ii) the surviving or resulting corporation shall send such a second notice to all such holders on or within 10 days after such effective date; provided, however, that if such second notice is sent more than 20 days following the sending of the first notice, such second notice need only be sent to each stockholder who is entitled to appraisal rights and who has demanded appraisal of such holder's shares in accordance with this subsection. An affidavit of the secretary or assistant secretary or of the transfer agent of the corporation that is required to give either notice that such notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. For purposes of determining the stockholders entitled to receive either notice, each constituent corporation may fix, in advance, a record date that shall be not more than 10 days prior to the date the notice is given, provided, that if the notice is given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the record date shall be such effective date. If no record date is fixed and the notice is given prior to the effective date, the record date shall be the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the notice is given.

(e) Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation or any stockholder who has complied with subsections (a) and (d) of this section hereof and who is otherwise entitled to appraisal rights, may commence an appraisal proceeding by filing a petition in the Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the value of the stock of all such stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party shall have the right to withdraw such stockholder's demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation. Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has complied with the requirements of subsections (a) and (d) of this section hereof, upon written request, shall be entitled to receive from the corporation surviving the merger or resulting from the consolidation a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares not voted in favor of the merger or consolidation and with respect to which demands for appraisal have been received and the aggregate number of holders of such shares. Such written statement shall be mailed to the stockholder within 10 days after such stockholder's written request for such a statement is received by the surviving or resulting corporation or within 10 days after expiration of the period for delivery of demands for appraisal under subsection (d) of this section hereof, whichever is later. Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this section, a person who is the beneficial owner of shares of such stock held either in a voting trust or by a nominee on behalf of such person may, in such person's own name, file a petition or request from the corporation the statement described in this subsection.

C-3

(f) Upon the filing of any such petition by a stockholder, service of a copy thereof shall be made upon the surviving or resulting corporation, which shall within 20 days after such service file in the office of the Register in Chancery in which the petition was filed a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all stockholders who have demanded payment for their shares and with whom agreements as to the value of their shares have not been reached by the surviving or resulting corporation. If the petition shall be filed by the surviving or resulting corporation, the petition shall be accompanied by such a duly verified list. The Register in Chancery, if so ordered by the Court, shall give notice of the time and place fixed for the hearing of such petition by registered or certified mail to the surviving or resulting corporation and to the stockholders shown on the list at the addresses therein stated. Such notice shall also be given by 1 or more publications at least 1 week before the day of the hearing, in a newspaper of general circulation published in the City of Wilmington, Delaware or such publication as the Court deems advisable. The forms of the notices by mail and by publication shall be approved by the Court, and the costs thereof shall be borne by the surviving or resulting corporation.

(g) At the hearing on such petition, the Court shall determine the stockholders who have complied with this section and who have become entitled to appraisal rights. The Court may require the stockholders who have demanded an appraisal for their shares and who hold stock represented by certificates to submit their certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings; and if any stockholder fails to comply with such direction, the Court may dismiss the proceedings as to such stockholder.

(h) After the Court determines the stockholders entitled to an appraisal, the appraisal proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the Court of Chancery, including any rules specifically governing appraisal proceedings. Through such proceeding the Court shall determine the fair value of the shares exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger or consolidation, together with interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value. In determining such fair value, the Court shall take into account all relevant factors. Unless the Court in its discretion determines otherwise for good cause shown, interest from the effective date of the merger through the date of payment of the judgment shall be compounded quarterly and shall accrue at 5% over the Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharge) as established from time to time during the period between the effective date of the merger and the date of payment of the judgment. Upon application by the surviving or resulting corporation or by any stockholder entitled to participate in the appraisal proceeding, the Court may, in its discretion, proceed to trial upon the appraisal prior to the final determination of the stockholders entitled to an appraisal. Any stockholder whose name appears on the list filed by the surviving or resulting corporation pursuant to subsection (f) of this section and who has submitted such stockholder's certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery, if such is required, may participate fully in all proceedings until it is finally determined that such stockholder is not entitled to appraisal rights under this section.

C-4

(i) The Court shall direct the payment of the fair value of the shares, together with interest, if any, by the surviving or resulting corporation to the stockholders entitled thereto. Payment shall be so made to each such stockholder, in the case of holders of uncertificated stock forthwith, and the case of holders of shares represented by certificates upon the surrender to the corporation of the certificates representing such stock. The Court's decree may be enforced as other decrees in the Court of Chancery may be enforced, whether such surviving or resulting corporation be a corporation of this State or of any state.

(j) The costs of the proceeding may be determined by the Court and taxed upon the parties as the Court deems equitable in the circumstances. Upon application of a stockholder, the Court may order all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any stockholder in connection with the appraisal proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and the fees and expenses of experts, to be charged pro rata against the value of all the shares entitled to an appraisal.

(k) From and after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, no stockholder who has demanded appraisal rights as provided in subsection (d) of this section shall be entitled to vote such stock for any purpose or to receive payment of dividends or other distributions on the stock (except dividends or other distributions payable to stockholders of record at a date which is prior to the effective date of the merger or consolidation); provided, however, that if no petition for an appraisal shall be filed within the time provided in subsection (e) of this section, or if such stockholder shall deliver to the surviving or resulting corporation a written withdrawal of such stockholder's demand for an appraisal and an acceptance of the merger or consolidation, either within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation as provided in subsection (e) of this section or thereafter with the written approval of the corporation, then the right of such stockholder to an appraisal shall cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no appraisal proceeding in the Court of Chancery shall be dismissed as to any stockholder without the approval of the Court, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Court deems just; provided, however that this provision shall not affect the right of any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party to withdraw such stockholder's demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, as set forth in subsection (e) of this section.

(l) The shares of the surviving or resulting corporation to which the shares of such objecting stockholders would have been converted had they assented to the merger or consolidation shall have the status of authorized and unissued shares of the surviving or resulting corporation.

Stockholder represents and warrants to FCI that:

	(a)	(i) Stockholder owns beneficially (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) all of the Original Shares free and clear of all Liens, and (ii) except pursuant hereto, there is no option, warrant or other right, agreement, proxy, arrangement or commitment of any character to which Stockholder is a party relating to the pledge, disposition or voting of any of the Original Shares and there is no voting trust or voting agreement with respect to the Original Shares.

	(d)	None of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Stockholder, the consummation by Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby or compliance by Stockholder with any of the provisions hereof will conflict with or result in a material breach, or constitute a material default (with or without notice of lapse of time or both) under any provision of, any material trust agreement, loan or credit agreement, note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease or other material agreement, instrument or Law applicable to Stockholder or to Stockholder's property or assets.

3.	Agreement to Vote Shares.

Stockholder agrees during the term of this Agreement to vote the Shares, and to cause any holder of record of Shares to vote: (i) in favor of the Merger, the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, at every meeting of the stockholders of the Company at which such matters are considered and at every adjournment or postponement thereof; (ii) against (1) any Takeover Proposal, (2) any action, proposal, transaction or agreement which could reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company under the Merger Agreement or of Stockholder under this Agreement and (3) any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that could reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, discourage, adversely affect or inhibit the timely consummation of the Merger or the fulfilment of the Forsyth Parties’ conditions under the Merger Agreement or change in any manner the voting rights of any class of shares of the Company (including any amendments to the Company’s Charter Documents).

D-2

4.	No Voting Trusts or Other Arrangement.

Stockholder agrees that Stockholder will not, and will not permit any entity under Stockholder's control to, deposit any of the Shares in a voting trust, grant any proxies with respect to the Shares or subject any of the Shares to any arrangement with respect to the voting of the Shares other than agreements entered into with FCI.

5.	Transfer and Encumbrance.

Stockholder agrees that during the term of this Agreement, Stockholder will not, directly or indirectly, transfer, sell, offer, exchange, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of or encumber ("Transfer") any of the Shares or enter into any contract, option or other agreement with respect to, or consent to, a Transfer of, any of the Shares or Stockholder's voting or economic interest therein. Any attempted Transfer of Shares or any interest therein in violation of thisSection 5 shall be null and void. ThisSection 5 shall not prohibit a Transfer of the Shares by Stockholder to any member of Stockholder's immediate family, or to a trust for the benefit of Stockholder or any member of Stockholder's immediate family, or upon the death of Stockholder; provided, that a Transfer referred to in this sentence shall be permitted only if, as a precondition to such Transfer, the transferee agrees in a writing, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to FCI, to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement.

This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and contains the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may not be amended or supplemented, and no provisions hereof may be modified or waived, except by an instrument in writing signed by both of the parties hereto.
