* For purposes of calculating the filing fee pursuant to Rule 0-11(d), the
Transaction Valuation was calculated on the basis of (i) 84,768,152
outstanding shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of Lanier
Worldwide, Inc. (the "Shares"), (ii) the tender offer price of $3.00 per
Share and (iii) 2,245,984 options to acquire Shares with an exercise price
at less than $3.00 under Lanier Worldwide, Inc.'s Stock Incentive Plan with
an aggregate value of $1,861,792. Based on the foregoing, the transaction
value is equal to the sum of (1) the product of number of outstanding
Shares and $3.00 per Share and (2) the product of (A) 2,245,984 Shares
which are subject to options to purchase Shares with an exercise price of
less than $3.00 per share and (B) the difference between $3.00 per Share
and the exercise price per Share of such options.
** The filing fee, calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, is 1/50th of one percent of the aggregate Transaction
Valuation.

This Amendment No. 3 amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on

Securities and Exchange Commission on December 8, 2000 by LW Acquisition Corp.,
a Delaware corporation ("Purchaser") and an indirect wholly- owned subsidiary of
Ricoh Company, Ltd., a Japanese corporation ("Parent"), to purchase any and all
of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share
(including the associated participating preferred stock purchase rights) (the

"Company"), at a purchase price of $3.00 per share, net to the seller in cash,
without interest thereon, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
in the Offer to Purchase, dated December 8, 2000 (the "Offer to Purchase") and
in the related Letter of Transmittal (the "Letter of Transmittal") (which,
together with the Offer to Purchase, as amended or supplemented from time to
time, constitute the "Offer").
ITEM 12. EXHIBITS
Exhibit (a)(1) to the Schedule TO, "Offer to Purchase, dated December 8,
2000" is hereby amended as follows:
o By revising the first paragraph of Section 1 ("Terms of the Offer") to read
as follows:
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer (including,
if the Offer is extended or amended, the terms and conditions of any such
extension or amendment), Purchaser will accept for payment and pay for all
Shares which are validly tendered and not withdrawn on or prior to the
Expiration Date (as defined below), promptly after the Expiration Date. The term
"Expiration Date" means 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on January 8, 2001,
unless and until Purchaser (subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger
Agreement) shall have extended the period of time for which the Offer is open,
in which event the term "Expiration Date" shall mean the latest time and date at
which the Offer, as so extended by Purchaser, shall expire prior to the purchase
of any Shares by Purchaser.
o By revising the first paragraph of Section 4 ("Acceptance For Payment and
Payment For Shares") to read as follows:
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer (including,
if the Offer is extended or amended, the terms and conditions of any extension
or amendment), Purchaser will accept for payment and will pay for all Shares
validly tendered prior to the Expiration Date and not properly withdrawn,
promptly after the Expiration Date. Purchaser expressly reserves the right to
delay acceptance for payment of, or payment for, Shares in order to comply in
whole or in part with any applicable law. If Purchaser desires to delay payment
for Shares accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer, and such delay would
otherwise be in contravention of Rule 14e-l(c) of the Exchange Act, Purchaser
will extend the Offer. See Section 1 of this Offer to Purchase.
