No actually Xrite sent me an email Friday:

"We have recently been informed by Amazys Holding AG, parent company 
of GretagMacBeth, that their Board of Directors has received a letter 
stating an intent to make a competing public tender offer from 
Eichhof Holding AG. 

Developments such as this are not unusual in a public company 
acquisition process. I am writing you today to assure you that our 
agreement to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Amazys is 
continuing as planned. We as a company are fully committed to the 
completion of the transaction, and our agreement has the support of 
the Boards of Directors of both X-Rite and Amazys. 

I also want to assure you that you can rely upon us to continue to 
provide a high level of support on existing and future purchases, so 
you can make color management investments with us with confidence. 

I anticipate that there may be questions, and I encourage you to 
communicate them to your sales representative. As we keep you 
informed of the acquisition, throughout the process, details can be 
found at www.xrite.com/announce. We appreciate your continued support 
and remain committed to your partnership. 

Sincerely, 


Michael C. Ferrara 
CEO, X-Rite "
